"I don't think it's even a coincidence at all."

Silence fell in the drawing room where Atlas, Penny, and Zoren were enjoying their tea. The couple stared at Atlas as he held their gaze sternly.

According to people who knew the family — the man who owned the dashcam footage they had lived in the neighborhood for over a decade. It was a surprise that they moved out so suddenly, especially when the neighbors who got along with them hadn't heard any plans that they were moving.

All of this happened the same night Atlas got the footage and Sven was caught.

"I don't feel good about this," Atlas broke his momentary silence. "I'll keep looking into it. The only reason I came to tell you is because I think you should know about it as well."

He then shifted his eyes to Penny. "Especially you."

"Me?" Penny blinked. "Why me?"

"You're nosy, and I don't want you meddling with this. I believe Sven is capable of the crime he committed, but he didn't do it alone," Atlas continued with certainty. "He's smart, but not quite smart enough. Someone definitely fueled his twisted plans and motivated him to act."

In other words, Atlas was only telling them to make Penny step back. Knowing her, she would poke her nose into other people's business even when she already had plenty on her plate. Atlas didn't want his little sister meddling.

"I'll ask for help when I need it," he added, locking eyes with Penny. "Until then, focus on yourself. You too, Zoren. Focus on your affairs."

Zoren and Penny kept their mouths in a thin line, feeling as though they were being scolded. Although Atlas's voice was calm, he spoke as if he were reading them like an open book.

"I'm the big brother," Atlas announced coolly. "Don't worry about me. If anything, worry about Slater."

Penny frowned. "What about
