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

Chapter 1720: Anyway, should we start?

"I know where Nathalie was."

Silence quickly followed Zoren's remark, and everyone knit their brows at him. Penny, especially, turned to him with a flicker of surprise. The couple had already talked about this before they met with everyone for the meeting-but this, he hadn't told her.

"Renren," she whispered, holding his hand.

Zoren sighed faintly as he met his wife's eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier."

"But like I said, I think... everyone should stay out of it," he added. "Especially since they already crossed the Bennet Family off their list. There's no reason for you to get back on their radar. The Piersons, on the other hand, are still deeply involved in this case."

"As the head of the family..." he trailed off, the corners of his eyes sharpening. "I have an obligation to put everything in place."

Again, silence fell as everyone kept their eyes on Zoren.

"If anything, Jonathan already sent out a hit on Nina. So, it's better if Second Brother focuses on that," he continued, giving Hugo and Slater a glance. He didn't mention Slater by name since Charles was listening in—and that was likely the reason Slater had remained quiet despite clearly wanting to say something.

"Then, Dad should focus on Chairman Bennet and Stephen. For some reason, they're still using Stephen. It might not implicate the Bennet Family if he gets caught since they're only using him as a pawn. They'll dispose of him when they no longer need him," Zoren said. "Still, it's best if we seal off any cracks they could slither through and drag the Bennet Family back in."

Zoren drew a deep breath as other thoughts crossed his mind. "As for me... I'll coordinate with Mint regarding Nathalie. After all, she can arrange a meeting with Interpol. We'll need their help to deal with an organization of this scale."

"I think that's what's best for everyone." He looked up at the room, studying the expressions on their faces.
