Chapter 1745: First Brother’s decision

"Okay. Then I’ll take it—before I get tried as someone who buried William Pierson alive."

Silence quickly filled the office as Zoren stared at the blank look on Atlas’s face. His brows crinkled slightly, searching for any hesitation. There wasn’t any.

Atlas just looked back at him as if what he said was just another Tuesday.

But now that Atlas had said it, Zoren couldn’t help but think about it.

Many people knew that Atlas was currently the Chief Operating Officer because of a vote. He had entered under Old Mrs. Pierson and Zoren’s recommendation, on the condition that he own shares in the company.

Atlas met that requirement, having bought some shares, and Penny had placed the shares she acquired under her brother’s name as well.

In total, it was a small percentage—just enough to keep him in the shareholders’ meetings, but not large enough to matter.

That was all on the surface, though.

Because in reality, Atlas had already been named heir by Old Mrs. Pierson.

In any case where something happened to her, Atlas would automatically assume her position as chairperson. She had done this to show her sincerity to the Bennet family.

With this, Atlas could retaliate if Zoren ever hurt Penelope. Of course, Old Mrs. Pierson was certain her grandson wouldn’t do that—she believed in Zoren. However, it was a gesture meant to put the Bennet family—especially Charles and Allison—at ease.
