Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 380

Chapter 380: She’s different when drunk

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of the Prime Group...

Hugo glanced at Atlas, seated across from him, running his tongue across his inner cheek. It was still early in the morning, and many people in the world were either preparing to go to work or on their way. But here they were, and Hugo had to watch Atlas quietly fume until he could unleash it.

"First Brother," Hugo called after a prolonged, stifling silence. "You’re not going to kill Penny, are you?"

Atlas slowly snapped his sharp eyes at his second brother. His lips parted, but he then pressed them shut.

"Ha ha..." Hugo let out an awkward laugh. "That bad, huh?"

Atlas drew a deep breath and huffed. "And you?" he asked. "Where were you last night?"

"Well—"

"I saw you come home and then leave last night," Atlas added, cutting him off mid-sentence. "And you’re also here so early in the morning when I arrived last night, and you still haven’t made it home. You’re still wearing the clothes you wore yesterday, and you smell really bad."

Atlas was not in the mood to play nice, exposing everything he knew. He was expecting his second brother to either tell him the truth or shut up.

"How did you know she didn’t go home last night?" Atlas asked directly.

Hugo scratched the back of his head and smiled. He didn’t answer, knowing everything he would tell his first brother would be a lie. His silence was enough for an answer. Hence, Atlas didn’t pry any further.

"But, First Brother, why are you so angry that Penny left last night?" asked Hugo, hoping he would get an answer from Atlas. "It’s not like it’s the first time she didn’t go home. I mean, Penny lived independently until now. Even though she lived with Uncle Haines, she’s an adult."

It wasn’t like Hugo didn’t know this could be a worry, but at the same time, if it was just a simple worry, Atlas wouldn’t go as far as to drive around searching for her. Penny was a grown woman. Whether she was the youngest or still the little princess in their eyes, they all knew Penny was a capable adult.

She was a capable child, so she was even more capable as an adult.

Therefore, it didn’t make sense to him that Atlas was acting the way he was.

"She was drunk," said Atlas, snapping his eyes at Hugo. "Have you seen her drunk before?"

Hugo tilted his head a little to the side. "She’s cute?"

Atlas blinked, waiting for Hugo to tell him more. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

"Last night was the first time I’ve seen her drunk," Hugo sighed. "I think she’s cute. A little mischievous and adventurous."

Much to Hugo’s surprise, Atlas snorted. "Why, First Brother? I think she’s really cute."

’I think I know where,’ was what Hugo wanted to say, only to bite his tongue to stop himself. He promised Penny not to tell anyone about Zoren. He needed to keep that promise.
