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.

"Sir..." Allen whimpered, snapping his teary eyes at the man seated on the other side of the car. "Rumors are already spreading about you, the CEO, and Director Dean. Did you really have to exact your revenge like that?"

Atlas didn’t answer, staring out the window.

"Goodness," Allen let out a deep sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I can already imagine..."

The countless meetings regarding this "issue." Because whether or not they wanted to, the executives at Pierson Corporation were still close-minded on such a topic. The world might be opening up and accepting all these modern issues, but this business was different.

Allen could still remember the emergency meeting that was called when rumors about Zoren and Atlas started circulating. But this? This was not just a rumor. Atlas had just given everyone something to talk about with evidence — EVIDENCE!

Amid Allen’s thoughts, Atlas finally spoke.

"Huh?" Confused, Allen looked back at Atlas. "Sir?"

Atlas kept his eyes on the window, as if he hadn’t just said anything out of the ordinary.

"Sir, are you talking about my girlfriend?" Allen asked, but didn’t get a reply. "Well..."

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?"
