Chapter 1664: Court of law, not morality

Meanwhile...

Hugo ended up riding with Atlas and Zoren in the same car because, for some reason, Penny's car had run out of gas. So, someone else needed to take it to the gas station and fill it up before following them to the Pierson Corporation.

Seated in the back seat, Atlas glanced at Hugo. "Stop thinking, Hugo." "Huh?" His brother's words snapped him out of his deep thoughts. "What?"

"You've been thinking so much, and I'm worried you might end up having a hemorrhage," Atlas flatly remarked with all the sincerity he had. "Rushing you to the emergency room is not something I'm looking forward to."

Hugo frowned while Zoren stifled a laugh.

"Don't laugh," Atlas cast Zoren a side eye, making the latter straighten his back. "I'm not done with you yet."

"..." Zoren carefully peeked at Atlas, a little concerned. At that second, he quickly made a mental note not to get too close to him on their next site visit together.

"For your information, I'm not thinking about anything like what you think," Hugo remarked in a knowing tone, then shifted his attention to Zoren.

Zoren raised his brows at him, pointing at himself. "You're thinking about me?"

"Mhm." Hugo hummed, nodding. "I'm thinking... if your mom has a twin, doesn't that mean the chances of you and Penny having quadruplets is at an all-time high now? I heard it's in the genes."
