Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1369

Chapter 1369: Let them rest today

[PIERSON CORPORATION]

"Mr. Bennet, this is nonsense! How can you just reject this project when it has nothing to do with your office?!"

"This is an abuse of power! If not, then why are you meddling in a negotiation we’ve been working on for years?!"

"This negotiation is being handled by Director William and our office! How could you intervene and stop it?! We need a reasonable explanation for this!"

Atlas sat motionless in his office, staring at the three men roaring across the desk. They had barged in unannounced, shouting about something he had done. Surprisingly, William was not among them, even though Atlas had expected him to come and be buried alive under the weight of his own mess.

Well, William probably wasn’t ready for his burial yet.

Without a word, Atlas pulled open a drawer and retrieved a document. Rising from his seat, he stopped upon noticing the three men instinctively take three steps back.

Was that a trauma response?

"Wha—what are you going to do, Mr. Bennet?!" one of them stammered. "We came here with a reasonable concern about the company!"

"That’s right! Intimidation won’t work if that’s what you’re planning!"

"Mr. Bennet, we need answers right now!"

Atlas blinked slowly before murmuring, "I woke up today and chose peace. Please don’t make me change my mind."

He pressed the telecom button, connecting to Allen’s desk. "Can you ask the legal team what charges I could consider aside from slander?"

"Got it, sir."

"Huh?" The three men snapped their heads toward Atlas in disbelief. Had he just ordered his assistant to find a legal fault in the three minutes they had been here?

"The lead department for this project is Director William’s office. So if there’s anyone I owe an explanation to, it’s him," Atlas said in his usual flat tone, raising the document in his hand. "Please reach out to him after I deliver this to him in person. He’ll explain everything to you."

With that, Atlas shoved one hand into his pocket, walked past them, and left his office—leaving the three men standing there in shock.

They exchanged bewildered glances before shooting the door a frustrated look.

William smirked, rubbing his chin as he gazed at the documents in front of him. His eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he chuckled to himself.

"I knew it," he muttered. "That brat, Dean Pierson, is up to something. Hmm... what should I do with this?"

According to the report from the private investigator his lackey had hired, Dean had been following Cassandra Smith for quite some time now. Considering Cassandra was one of Jonathan’s key pawns in strengthening his position within the Pierson family, William could easily see what Dean was trying to sabotage.

"That Jonathan..." William mused, narrowing his eyes. "Even if he’s been a disappointment for some time now, he’s still useful one way or another—"

BAM!
