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

Chapter 1238: And it all started... in our first life.

Hugo had definitely heard of Homeland Security and knew about it, but Atlas had barely heard of it. He was aware of its existence, but he wasn't exactly sure of its real role. Hence, Atlas spent the night researching and trying to understand what kind of organization his third brother was part of.

Shocked was an understatement when Atlas read about it.

This made him question Slater more and more because his goofy, childish personality didn't seem to fit someone in such an organization.

"Penny!" Slater gasped at his devious sister. "Why would you do this to me?!"

Penny puffed her cheeks and shrugged.

"I was in prison, so after I was incarcerated, I didn't know what was happening outside," she added matter-of-factly. "You, on the other hand, knew things that I didn't because, unlike me, you were free. Well, your career ended because of the scandal, but at least you were out to see the world! Moreover, before First Brother and Second Brother came to us, we were ready to talk about it."

"But that was different!" Slater yelled. "I wasn't mentally prepared to have them hear my story!"
