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

Chapter 1466: Atlas the popular

"Your gambling addiction is getting worse, Penny. I'm afraid I'll soon have to start looking into rehab facilities."

Penny's mouth instantly curved downward as Atlas gazed at her with a blank expression.

"I don't think you should be doing that here," he said. "Who would pull something like that in this place?"

Atlas hadn't even been here for three minutes, but he had already spotted several powerful figures in the crowd. It didn't surprise him-this was Prime Group's signature move: showcasing itself with grandeur. Every person present was a potential buyer of their new launch.

Which meant... every one of them was Atlas's competition.

"What do you mean?" Penny frowned. "Everyone's in on it, and no one's complained."

Arching a brow, Atlas scanned the area again. Nearly everyone was holding a glass of wine or champagne. Nothing out of the ordinary—until he overheard Hayley chatting with an old man about a team. From their conversation, it dawned on him: this was how they were placing their bets.

Turning back to Penny, he shook his head mildly. "And you've gotten creative with it too."

"Stop looking at me like that," she clicked her tongue. "Come on. I'll introduce you to some people."

Atlas raised his brows, then shrugged and followed her. They stopped in front of a small group.

"Hello, gentlemen," Penny smoothly joined their conversation, prompting all three middle-aged men to turn toward her. "How's the night going?"

"It's great, Miss Bennet," one of them said warmly. "We were just catching up—it's been a while since the three of us have been in the same place."

"I'm glad this event brought you all together," she said with a smile. "Anyway, I'd like to introduce-"
