Chapter 521: I got us married?

"Did your Second Brother tell you?"

For a moment, Penny was speechless. When Hugo showed her the clip of their little wrestling fight, he also told her that Atlas, Zoren, Charles, and Haines knew about it. Although the older men didn't delve too deep into it because of their conversation afterward, Atlas and Zoren seemed to be more aware of the situation.

However, neither Atlas nor Zoren had said a word about it. Hugo, following his intuition, had snuck into her room to tell her himself. He reasoned that Penny should know so she could avoid any future embarrassment, and she was grateful for that. Even so, Penny and Hugo didn't criticize Atlas or Zoren because they believed they had their reasons. If she were to criticize them, she'd have to criticize herself first-after all, she didn't want to bring it up.

But now...

'I guess Second Brother and I were wrong,' she thought. 'First Brother might have his reasons for not telling me, but it seems Renren simply didn't have the time to explain everything that happened.'

Zoren hadn't said it outright, but Penny was almost certain that this was what Zoren and Atlas had discussed.

"Renren, how did you know?" she blurted, realizing she was caught. "I mean, how did you figure out Second Brother already told me about this?"

Zoren smiled. "I didn't, but I had my intuition."

What a deadly intuition he had.

"When you were in the hospital, your Second Brother didn't show up on the second day. And the ward had this faint scent of alcohol. I've spent a lot of time in hospitals, so I'm quite familiar with all these strange scents," he explained indifferently as he leaned back, eyes on her. "Considering your relationship with him, I was sure he'd be curious about your drunken antics. It doesn't take much to put two and two together."

"Wow..." Penny's mouth fell open, almost clapping as he sounded so smart explaining his thought process.

Zoren smirked. "Then you confirmed it."
