Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691: Lovelife, you’re the best~!

"Sir." A man in a suit called out, his eyes on the man seated in the wing chair, which was facing the empty fireplace. When the man in the chair slightly moved his head, the standing man approached and stopped just a step behind him.

Leaning forward, he whispered something to the seated man. Once he finished, he straightened his back.

"Hah..." The seated man let out a hum, tilting his head in understanding. The corner of his mouth curled in amusement. "Let it be."

"But they said they can’t recover all the files, and even if they do, it could take months—maybe even a year or two."

The man in the chair nodded. "And let them be. Burn them all completely. I’m certain that fixing even a few of those devices will backfire on us."

"Yes, sir." The man standing behind him bowed his head. "I’ll send the message immediately."

The man in the chair remained silent as the other turned to leave. However, the latter paused when his boss spoke again.

"You said it was the flash drive?"

The other man slowly looked back and nodded. "Yes, sir. The one Sven Bennet sent us."

"Interesting." The man in the wing chair waved dismissively, and the other man bowed once more before walking away. Left alone, the man in the chair squinted at the hearth, intrigued.

"Penelope Bennet..." He tilted his head, chuckling softly to himself. "How interesting."

Benjamin and Angel quickened their pace, trying to match Zoren’s long strides, which were more akin to a run. They exchanged puzzled looks, having no idea what had prompted Zoren to move so quickly after his recent "meeting."

"Sir—" Benjamin began, only to stop abruptly when Zoren spun around to face him. "What... what is it?"

’Am I in trouble?’ Benjamin wondered, seeing the impatience and displeasure in Zoren’s expression. He had been asked to stay out of the meeting, so he had no idea what had transpired.

But instead of the reprimand he expected, Benjamin heard something entirely different.

"Ready the car for me," Zoren ordered. "And schedule an emergency meeting with Miss Bennet."

"Oh—of course." Benjamin blinked, turning to carry out the request, but before he could move, a staff member from the CEO’s office rushed over.

"Sir—" The female staff member slowed down as she approached, straightening up as she stood in front of both her boss and the CEO. "You have a visitor. Miss Penelope is waiting for you in the office."

Zoren, Angel, and Benjamin furrowed their brows. Zoren had just planned to visit his wife, yet it seemed she had beaten him to it.

"I’ll be right there." Zoren nodded, glancing at Benjamin. "I guess you won’t need to arrange the car."

"Yes, sir..." Benjamin trailed off, watching his boss walk away, escorted by the assistant back to his office.

"What’s wrong with him?" Angel leaned in toward Benjamin, who could only shrug.

"I have no idea," Benjamin replied, narrowing his eyes. "But something’s up. I’m sure they’re up to something."
