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

Chapter 998: Would he... Mom?

"Hmm?" Charles let out a short hum as he drove through the driveway of Zoren's home, noticing some people running inside the house. "What's going on over there?"

He scanned the area, noticing that there were more people at the residence than last night. All of them were in uniform, giving him the impression that he was entering a different house. But then again, he was certain he had entered the correct residence. Otherwise, the gates wouldn't have opened for their van without being stopped by the guards.

"Does Zoren Pierson have a guest?" he wondered aloud. "Is it a minister in Anteca? How come there are so many bodyguards?"

No one could blame Charles for being surprised, as Zoren had given an order that his men should stay hidden while his in-laws were here. After all, Zoren didn't want to worry Charles and Allison, since having so many bodyguards would raise countless questions and interpretations.

"Those are Penny's bodyguards and Zoren's," Hugo answered in a knowing tone. "It's a normal sight around here."

"Normal?" Charles glanced at the rearview mirror, only for Atlas to give him an answer this time. freëwebnovel.com

"Zoren might be your son-in-law, but he's still the head of the Pierson Family. Their family alone is considered the most influential, and he's at the helm of it. Not to mention, he is statistically the wealthiest in Anteca and is part of the richest men on Earth." Atlas's tone was flat as if he were simply giving a trivia. "If not for Penny, he's someone out of reach. Not that I want to reach him, but there's the idea and reality."

Slater pressed his lips together and darted his eyes between his brothers before shifting his attention to Charles. Surprisingly, Charles didn't answer as he continued to drive at a slow pace.

"It slipped my mind," Charles admitted, nodding his head. "He does have that reputation. Then, how come I've only seen a quarter of his men before?"

"He probably didn't want Allison to be intimidated." Haines chuckled. "By now, you should know that Zoren Pierson takes his wife's parents' opinions very seriously."
