Chapter 585: Odd

Minutes Ago...

Atlas was quietly reading a document when he heard some noises outside. He didn't budge when he caught Slater's faint voice, deeming it just another instance of Slater's usual drama. Atlas was so used to his third brother that he didn't care

about it anymore.

Slater would eventually get it together.

Shaking his head, Atlas casually flipped to the next page. His room was unlike the chaos outside—it was peaceful and away from any drama. Perhaps that was one of the reasons he still hadn't moved out, even though Penny had already moved in with Zoren.

"Now that I think about it..." he muttered, snapping his eyes away from the document. "I haven't heard from her or him."

As far as Atlas remembered, Zoren had planned to tell Penny about her drunken antics for her own safety. Not that Atlas was against it. He simply didn't tell her to keep his dignity intact, knowing she would keep asking him questions about how he knew or what she did to him.

Penny was smart enough to pick up on the lies if he ever answered those questions dishonestly.

"Did he tell her or not?" he wondered to himself. "Did she... remember what she did to me?"

His face soured at the thought, almost touching that despicable memory again. Atlas shook his head, deciding that it wasn't his concern anymore.

'Whether or not he told her doesn't matter. As long as he protects her and not even a single hair on her head is touched, then that's the most important thing,' he told himself, about to return to his work when his phone suddenly lit up.

Pausing, Atlas glanced at the phone in the farthest corner of the coffee table. He reached out to check it, only to see Hugo's name on the screen.
