Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 932

Chapter 932: Chairman’s best interest

"Miss Penny, I think you should go see your grandpa."

Whether or not Chairman Bennet was a good grandfather, he was still family. The moment Penny heard Benjamin’s news, she and Zoren didn’t waste a second. She barely managed to put on her bodysuit before rushing out, not even having the time to say goodbye to Lily and the others.

In the car, Penny sat in the backseat, staring out the window. Zoren sat beside her, holding her hand, and offering a subtle but reassuring smile.

"I’m okay," she said with a slight nod, her voice steady but quiet. "He’s my grandfather on paper, but I never felt like he really was."

Be it in the first or the current timeline, Chairman Bennet had been absent from Penny’s life. Even so, she still felt obligated to go. Regardless of his lack of presence or contributions to her life, Atlas and Charles were closely connected to him. Besides, Chairman Bennet was Charles’s father.

Charles might have slandered his father and had nothing good to say about him, but he always defended him when others spoke ill of the chairman. It was a complicated relationship—one of love and hate. Yet, the bottom line remained: the chairman was still family.

"I’m more worried about Dad," Penny added with a sigh. "I heard he and Mom rushed over as soon as they heard the news."

Another heavy sigh escaped her lips. Today started with so much fun. Even without her intimate time with her husband, the reunion had been filled with joy. But this news had hit them like a tidal wave.

"Your dad is a strong man. He’ll be fine," Zoren said gently. "I’m sure he’ll pull through as long as his children and wife are there for him." _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Penny smiled faintly, nodding as she gave his hand a squeeze.

"Have you talked to Atlas yet?" Zoren asked after a moment.

"I haven’t. As the head of the family, I’m sure he’s been busy. Second Brother texted me, though. He’s already on his way, tailing First Brother’s car."

"I see."

The two fell into a brief silence, gazing at each other before Penny sighed again and turned her eyes back to the window.

Meanwhile, at the hospital...

Atlas was the first to arrive at the hospital where Chairman Bennet had been admitted. Hugo followed shortly after, with Charles and Haines arriving moments later. Despite having had a few drinks earlier, the gravity of the situation had sobered them all.

"Allen!" Atlas called as he strode briskly down the hallway toward the VIP ward.

Hearing his name, Allen perked up from his seat on a nearby bench and rushed to meet him.

"Sir!" Allen quickly matched Atlas’s pace, who didn’t so much as pause.

"Where is he?" Atlas asked, his tone grim.

"The chairman is in the VIP ward at the end of the hallway. However, there are guards outside, and no one is being allowed in," Allen explained.

Atlas clenched his teeth, his eyes narrowing as he quickened his steps. When he reached the ward, he found Allen’s words to be true. A group of bodyguards stood firmly outside the door—an expected precaution given Chairman Bennet’s position as head of Global Prime Logistics, one of Anteca’s largest shipping companies.
