Chapter 595: Nina's husband

Hours later...

"Hey," Hugo called while Zoren was busily writing at the desk. "Hey."

Zoren paused and slowly snapped his eyes to the couch where Hugo was idling. When their eyes met, the corner of Hugo's mouth twitched.

"You good?" he asked, only to see Zoren sigh. "What happened last night?"

Zoren took a moment before saying, "Nothing."

"I didn't ask this morning because I didn't want to bombard you with questions, but did you ask her last night?"

"Second Brother, is it really that important to you?"

"Yes."

"Then, I'm sorry."

"Huh?"

"I'm not allowed to say it.'

Hugo opened his mouth but then closed it again. He stared at Zoren, studying his brother-in-law, before he nodded.

"Well, I guess that's better than a lie," he shrugged, sighing. "I'll probably never know about it, huh?"

'Probably' was what Zoren wanted to say in return, but he stopped himself from speaking his thoughts aloud.

Last night, Penny had told him a ridiculous story. It was so absurd that even though Zoren believed her, he couldn't help but take a step back.

According to her, she had been sentenced to death. When he asked how she ended up in that kind of place, she mentioned her meddling with a deal Atlas had. Penny didn't detail all of it but focused more on the general aspects of her life. She did so because she didn't want his interest to fade so soon.
