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

Chapter 1501: Never

[Pierson Corporation]

Zoren leaned back in his chair, eyes fixed on the article displayed on his computer -one detailing the alleged crimes of a senator's granddaughter. Narrowing his eyes, he pressed a forefinger to his temple.

"This... I didn't expect," he whispered. "What is going on?"

Since Cassandra and Jonathan were set to be engaged, Zoren hadn't imagined Cassandra would end up in such a situation. What he had expected was a life of hell for her after marrying Jonathan-not because Zoren intended to make her life miserable, but because Jonathan himself was a menace.

But who was Zoren to reject the marriage?

Even so, this was unexpected.

What was going on?

Knock knock.

His thoughts halted at the faint knock on the door. Looking up, he said casually, "Come in."

A second later, Dean entered and closed the door behind him. Zoren arched a brow, noting the grin on Dean's face.

"Why are you smiling so much?" Zoren asked, curious. "What did you do, Dean Pierson?"

Dean chuckled as he strutted over to the couch. "Did you see the news?"

"I did."

"That's why I'm smiling."

Zoren narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Were you behind it?"

"Huh? No—haha! I wish!" Dean laughed heartily. And even with such a short response, Zoren believed him. Not because Dean wasn't capable, but because he wouldn't stoop that low. "I'm smiling because this means their engagement is canceled, right?"

"I don't think either of them has the time to think about tying the knot," Zoren nodded. freewebnovel.com

Dean's grin stretched even wider. He tapped the armrest playfully. "I don't like the Smiths, and I'm a bitter man. I don't want Jonathan to get married before I do."
