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

Chapter 1746: Surprising—but not, isn’t it?

Outside Atlas’s office, Allen leaned against one of the cubicles stationed nearby, eyes flickering to the door as he checked his wristwatch.

"This is weird," he muttered. "What’s taking them so long?"

It had been almost an hour since Zoren entered Atlas’s office—far longer than his usual visits. Even Atlas never stayed that long in Zoren’s office, unless the matter was really important.

"I wonder what the problem is?" he mumbled, tilting his head from side to side. But before his thoughts could go further, Benjamin’s voice snapped him out of it.

"Hey!"

Allen flinched and turned, startled to find Benjamin already standing beside him. His brows rose the moment he saw the fire burning in Benjamin’s eyes.

"What now? Who did you fight this time?" Allen asked quietly, glancing around the department before his gaze settled back on Benjamin. "Benjamin, if this is another rumor—"

"Look at this." Benjamin shoved a tablet at Allen, nostrils flaring. "See this and you’ll understand! We need to teach some people a lesson!"

Allen furrowed his brows and took the tablet despite his confusion. As he tapped the screen, a few possible explanations ran through his mind.

Maybe another forum post hating on the chocolates they all secretly loved. Maybe someone was being creepy toward one of the girl idols they followed, or maybe just a dumb comment on their last post.

Plenty of possibilities, but none prepared him for what he saw.

As Allen read the article, his brows knitted further. The corners of his mouth pulled into a frown.

"See?!" Benjamin huffed. "They’re slandering Miss Penny!"

Allen sighed. "So that’s why they’re still in there, huh?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"
