Chapter 1221: Don't let go this time.

"I'm sorry about our first life and... for failing to help you plan my murder."

Penny's heart sank as she stared at the subtle smile plastered on Atlas's face. She shook her head, hearing Zoren grunting behind her.

"No," she breathed out, her heart clenching. "No, no. Don't- don't let go. Don't..."

The person Penny spoke about in her previous life sounded like a very harsh individual. The Atlas from her previous life didn't sound like him at all. Even so, if that was true... Atlas was slightly appeased in knowing that, in a way, he could correct that behavior.

Because in this life, he only had one goal: it wasn't to lead Global Prime Logistics or the Bennet clan to new heights. It wasn't even to gain a title or legacy, like most people in his position might strive for. Not a woman, marriage, or family of his

All he wanted in this life was to watch his siblings live a healthy and happy life—a life full of contentment, full of fearlessness because they knew they had a fallback. In this life, that was all he wanted: to be a good older brother to Hugo, Slater, and Penny and now to Zoren as well.
