Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543: How is it deception if it’s true?

Atlas scanned the crowd and soon spotted Sven standing at the back with a smirk. ’I knew it. He would do something so silly,’ he thought.

Atlas turned his gaze back to Mr. Ito and the men around him.

"Atlas, is this true? You... you were just using the Piersons to appease your grandfather after losing Ito Motors?" Theo gasped loudly. Though genuinely surprised that Atlas reached that point of desperation, Theo also made sure everyone could hear the insinuation about what kind of person Atlas was.

All this time, Theo had thought he was the only one losing sleep over everything he had to manage. It seemed Atlas, who appeared to handle things easily, might have been struggling behind closed doors too.

"Oh my god... if this is true, Global Prime Logistics will soon close down."

"I wouldn’t be surprised if they declared bankruptcy."

"Of all the people he could’ve used, why the Piersons?"

"At this point, I don’t know whether to be impressed by his guts or feel sorry for him. One thing’s for sure though: this won’t end well for the Bennets."

A woman with a big mole on her high cheek sighed, hugging her date’s arm. "Darling, is it that bad?"

"Yes," the man beside her nodded. "It’s bad because the Pierson Family is incredibly influential. Even this event is nothing to them—they wouldn’t even bother attending."

"Ohh." The woman nodded. "Then, that man is in trouble."

The man glanced at Atlas. "If it’s true, then yes, he’s in trouble."

"How about the old man?" the woman tiptoed and whispered. "Why is he so angry at that man?"

"That’s because they used to be partners—or rather, their families had strong ties. But recently, Ito Motors switched to the Miller Family."

The naive woman pouted. "Then doesn’t that make him the bad guy?"

"Not exactly. From what I heard, the Ito and Bennet families were discussing strengthening their ties through marriage. But it turns out the Bennet daughter married young. So, to compensate, the Bennet Family was expected to make amends because this marriage had been decided generations ago."

"Ohhh..."

"However, instead of compensating, Atlas Bennet raised their prices to an unreasonable level."

What the man was saying was well-known to everyone. Everyone had heard about it at some point, as news like this spread quickly in the business world. Not because they liked gossip, but because such information was valuable, especially when it involved people like Atlas and Ito Motors.

’I see. So this is how they want to play it.’ The corners of Atlas’s eyes squinted slightly, as if in amusement. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Sven approached the group.
