Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 883: Put it to the test?

Atlas stopped walking for a moment so Zoren could catch up. However, he didn't need to, because Zoren reached him almost immediately.

"First Brother?" Zoren tilted his head, his eyeglasses sliding down his nose. "Is everything alright?"

Atlas glanced up at him coldly. "Does Penny know you're here?"

"No."

"Is that why you were in that corner?"

"No." Zoren smiled innocently. "It's twelve years ago right now, and I didn't want to approach Penny."

"Huh?"

"I can't be in love with a thirteen-year-old girl. I'm not like Ray."

"..." Atlas blinked repeatedly, wondering if he was the only person in this gymnasium who thought this reunion was absurd. Everyone was playing along, even acting like some of them hadn't made up.

For instance, the basketball team and Max were still at odds. Although Atlas wasn't up-to-date with Max's relationship with the basketball team, he knew it shouldn't be this bad anymore. After all, they were adults, and Max had pursued a business career, owning one of the biggest professional basketball teams instead of playing.

The same was true for some members of the varsity team. Not all of those

wearing jerseys had continued with basketball; some had ended up helping their families with business while Hugo pursued a military career. Yet, all of them were acting as if they hadn't grown up.

Now Zoren was here.

Even so, Atlas narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Are you sure you didn't try to hit on my thirteen-year-old sister?"

"Back then, I didn't..." Zoren rubbed his chin as he pondered. "... but now-" "Stop right there."

"Huh?"
