Chapter 1197: Last supper

When Zoren came down, he saw the same scene Penny and Slater had walked into earlier. For some reason, the majority of people in the room had their hands raised. Only Nina, Finn, Benjamin, and James were not raising theirs. Before he could even ask, Benjamin happily filled him in.

"Ahh..." Zoren nodded, his eyes darting across the living room to where his wife stood. He narrowed his eyes and, in the blink of an eye, disappeared from Benjamin's side.

"And Sir-" Benjamin stopped, searching for Zoren, only to find his boss already across the room. "Is he the Flash or something? How did he get there so fast?"

Meanwhile, Zoren pinched his wife's chin and gently guided her to look at him. Penny flinched slightly in surprise.

"Renren?"

"What happened?" he asked, scanning her face. His gaze then shifted to Slater, catching the latter looking away.

"Renren, it's nothing." Before he could press further, Penny grabbed his hand and flashed him a smile. "Just a childish fight with my Third Brother, but we made up."

His expression remained unchanged-sharp, unbending, cold. He studied the puffiness of her eyelids, the redness of her cheeks and nose, and the dampness of her eyelashes. She had cried a lot. However, if she wasn't coming clean now, he knew she didn't want to talk about it.

Respecting her decision, Zoren nodded and released her chin. He cast another glance at Slater before dropping the matter.

"Renren, aren't you going to raise your hand?" Penny asked almost excitedly. "First Brother is looking for a volunteer to punch him."

"So I heard." Zoren glanced at her raised hand. "I see you're volunteering."

"Hihi. I'm raising my hand not because I want to punch him, but to make him realize he's mean."

"Ah..." He tilted his head in understanding. However, even if his wife looked enthusiastic, he didn't want to make the same mistake. "Third Brother is also raising his hand."
