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

Chapter 1845: His brother’s gonna judge me for life

"God..." Allen leaned against the backseat. Tears welled up in his eyes, recalling the scene his boss had caused in the Pierson Corporation’s lobby.

If only he could erase that from his memory, he wouldn’t have followed Atlas. He should’ve just called in sick today. But then again, even if he hadn’t witnessed that, Allen would still need to fix whatever this was.

He scratched the back of his head, his cheek blushing at the thought. "I was thinking about proposing and —"

"Do you think she’ll like to live in secrecy?"

"Huh?"
