Chapter 954: Executive

Meanwhile...

"What is the meaning of this? What in the world?" Theo blurted out quietly, earning a look from his father. He turned to his side where his father was seated in the car. "Dad, I think I just found out the reason Penny is buying our company."

"What is it, Theo?"

"Someone from the association I was a part of was talking about the shift of power in the Bennet family!" Theo gasped, surprise written all over his face. He gazed at his phone again to make sure he read correctly. "It seems Chairman Bennet has fallen ill, and he's given full authority not to his son, but to Stephen Bennet."

"Stephen Bennet?"

"Yes! Not even to his heir, the current head of the family!" Theo's mouth fell open in disbelief. "No one has confirmed it yet, but people are saying Atlas was kicked out of the company!"

"Impossible!" Mr. Miller intoned. "Even if the Bennets aren't getting along, the chairman's best interest has always been the company. It's his life. There's no way he would give Stephen Bennet full authority."

If Stephen Bennet were that exceptional, he would've had the chance to be the head of the family a long time ago. However, Stephen failed and lost to Haines, while Haines lost to Charles. Even so, everyone had to admit that Atlas was in a different league, much better than his father and uncles combined in this matter.

"But it's... it's real!" Theo exclaimed in disbelief, showing his father his phone. "Dad, look! Someone sent this photo, saying it's been going around since this morning!"

Mr. Miller narrowed his eyes and drew his head back, staring at the phone that showed a picture of Atlas. Considering the angle, it was taken from afar, but it was clear enough to show Atlas and Allen's faces while the two of them were carrying a box out of the Global Prime Logistics building.

"Dad..." Theo slowly retracted his phone, looking at his father wide-eyed. "... Do you think Penelope Bennet wants to buy our company to compete with their uncle?"

Anyone with a brain would quickly analyze Penny's actions as retaliation. If Atlas had been kicked out of the Bennet family, then it made sense they were buying the Miller family business. Even so, the men of the Miller family didn't see this as anything more than its context.

Because if this were true, wouldn't Atlas be the one buying their company and not Penny?

"Dad, good thing we called her early," said Theo as they were getting closer to the Pierson Corporation. "Should we raise the price? Considering they want to fight their own family business, should we negotiate?"

Mr. Miller pondered. "No, let's not do that."

"Why?"
