Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 931

Chapter 931: the panic

Moments ago...

When Atlas saw Hugo and Zoren running out of the gymnasium, he immediately knew something was wrong. After all, when he saw how Penny smirked right after drinking, he stayed as far away from her as he could.

She could do something terrible to him, and he wanted to avoid that at all costs.

However, when he saw his brother and brother-in-law leave, he followed, just to make sure. At the end of the day, he was still Penny’s brother and family. Despite his fear of what could happen if she got her hands on him, he was concerned. Thus began the search.

As Atlas checked every location where Penny could’ve hidden, he found himself in the men’s locker room. He wouldn’t have stayed and continued searching if not for the fact that he noticed his locker wasn’t locked properly. When he checked, he was able to open it without much effort.

There, he saw his phone turned off.

"Why was it turned off?" he wondered as he reached for it. He turned it on, and when he did, he checked his things inside the locker to make sure nothing was missing.

Aside from his phone, his suit, keys, and wallet were all there. Nothing was missing from inside his wallet either. Not that he thought someone would take the only bill he had, but it was better to be sure.

"At least now I’m sure no one turned out to be a thief," he murmured, about to place his phone back into the locker, only to see the countless missed calls on the screen. "I told Allen that I’d be in a reunion and not to disturb me unless it was necessary."

Allen wouldn’t have lasted this long with Atlas if he weren’t capable enough to handle simple issues on his own. So, Atlas rarely received calls from him unless something important came up. He didn’t hesitate to call him back.

"Allen—"

"Sir Atlas, you finally called back!" Allen exclaimed as soon as the line connected. "I’ve been trying to reach you, sir. I’m sorry. I knew you were in a reunion with your siblings, but this is important."

"What is it?"

"Sir..." This time, Allen’s tone changed, which quickly sent concern to Atlas’s heart. "...Something terrible has happened. The chairman had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital."

"What did you say?"

"I just heard about it from the old residence, as the family has been trying to reach you and Sir Charles. All I know is that the chairman had a heart attack. Fortunately, Director Stephen Bennet was there when it happened."

Deep lines appeared between Atlas’s brows as he uttered, "Stephen Bennet was there when Grandpa had a heart attack?"

"Yes."

"Where are you right now?"

"I’m at the hospital, sir. I already sent you the address. However, I can’t go in or check since I’m not a family member."

"I see. I’m going there now." _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}
