Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1728

Chapter 1728: Who holds it now?

"...It’s possible he did it to gain information on the fake Naylani’s real son."

All these theories—and not a single one could be discarded. Even so, everything remained circumstantial until Jonathan confessed. With his knowledge and involvement of the Zorken Family, Jonathan could become a key piece in the case.

Not just to the Zorkens, but to all the other connected cases. After all, numerous people in power and within influential businesses had supported this operation from the shadows. They had all benefited from these, and once this was all revealed, it would be a scandal that could shake the nation once the truth exploded.

"Mint and I know this might not seem urgent right now," Hugo said after a long silence, "but we thought Zoren and Dean should know. Especially since First Brother is heavily involved with the Pierson Corporation, this information is critical for damage control."

"Because it’s already clear Jonathan struck deals with some members of the Pierson Family in secret," Mint added. "And once this all comes to light, the Piersons will take a major hit—especially Zoren and Atlas, as the heads of the family and the company."

"It’s alright," Atlas replied casually, nodding. "Even if they try to drag me into this, my conscience is clear."

"Atlas, having a clear conscience doesn’t always mean you’ll be seen as innocent in the eyes of the law," Charles reminded his son sternly.

The two locked eyes for a moment before Atlas nodded mildly.

"Don’t worry about me," he said. "Everyone on my end will be fine."

Then, he turned to Dean. "You," he called.

Dean raised his brows, everyone bracing for something significant, only for Atlas to say:

"Stop wasting paper with repeated copies and do some proper work."

Dean’s face twitched. He clicked his tongue and looked away irritably.

’Damn this guy!’

"Since Zoren will be preoccupied, Atlas will likely need to take over the company," Finn muttered, deep in thought. "Good thing Dean’s here—and honestly, his stalking skills aren’t all bad. Zoren stepping away due to ’health issues’ won’t surprise anyone, but without him, vultures will try to cause trouble for Atlas."

He then snapped his eyes to everyone. "Not just those who had openly opposed him, but I’m sure the enemy will take advantage of this as well."

"Let them try," Atlas said. "You and Dean are here, and you both were deeply involved with the company. Once I become the focus, you’ll have the perfect chance to move."

Finn and Dean looked at Atlas’s blank expression, while the rest nodded in agreement.

"Don’t worry," Atlas continued. "If I’m right, these people always focus on whoever they think is the greatest threat. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be here right now, and we wouldn’t have gotten those vault clues unscathed."
