Chapter 1241: You kept them alive

[BACK TO SKYLINE PLAZA]

"No wonder Stephen Bennet surprisingly had a change of heart," Hugo hissed, thinking Stephen Bennet wouldn't have done what he had if not for Slater interfering. "That old-"

"We can't blame him," Penny replied, now sitting up with Renny's head on her lap. "Stephen Bennet might be cruel, but... from what I've known about him, he would never do anything to ruin the entire Bennet family."

"He loves it. Even so, the situation is dire for him, and he has no way out," Atlas continued, nodding in understanding. "Slater merely gave him a way out, which is... us."

Slater nodded, his eyes back on Hugo. "Any one of us could have given him the chance. It just happened that I was the one who was there and picked up the bottle of pills in his possession. For him, it was his life and his family over others. And if I were in that same situation, I would choose... you."

Another moment of silence fell on their shoulders as they processed the situation.

"So..." After another moment, Penny's voice cut through the silence. "How could you not notice the person stalking you back then?"

Slater's brows rose, juggling his memory for a while before he remembered the stalker who had attacked him months ago. "I knew I was being followed."

"Don't tell me you took all those innocent photos that you sent me..."

"For evidence," he said. "I wanted to deal with him in the future and use the excuse that he's stalking me. You're smart, so I was sure you'd notice them once something happened. But... I didn't realize you'd notice it sooner."

"..." Penny's mouth was drawn into a thin line. "I know this is a serious situation, but who the hell are you?! That's not how my third brother is supposed to think!"

"I know, right?" Hugo rocked his head. "He's distracting me right now."

"Me too." Zoren nodded in agreement. "It feels like a dream."
