Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 998

Chapter 998: Would he... Mom?

"Hmm?" Charles let out a short hum as he drove through the driveway of Zoren’s home, noticing some people running inside the house. "What’s going on over there?"

He scanned the area, noticing that there were more people at the residence than last night. All of them were in uniform, giving him the impression that he was entering a different house. But then again, he was certain he had entered the correct residence. Otherwise, the gates wouldn’t have opened for their van without being stopped by the guards.

"Does Zoren Pierson have a guest?" he wondered aloud. "Is it a minister in Anteca? How come there are so many bodyguards?"

No one could blame Charles for being surprised, as Zoren had given an order that his men should stay hidden while his in-laws were here. After all, Zoren didn’t want to worry Charles and Allison, since having so many bodyguards would raise countless questions and interpretations.

"Those are Penny’s bodyguards and Zoren’s," Hugo answered in a knowing tone. "It’s a normal sight around here."

"Normal?" Charles glanced at the rearview mirror, only for Atlas to give him an answer this time. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

"Zoren might be your son-in-law, but he’s still the head of the Pierson Family. Their family alone is considered the most influential, and he’s at the helm of it. Not to mention, he is statistically the wealthiest in Anteca and is part of the richest men on Earth." Atlas’s tone was flat as if he were simply giving a trivia. "If not for Penny, he’s someone out of reach. Not that I want to reach him, but there’s the idea and reality."

Slater pressed his lips together and darted his eyes between his brothers before shifting his attention to Charles. Surprisingly, Charles didn’t answer as he continued to drive at a slow pace.

"It slipped my mind," Charles admitted, nodding his head. "He does have that reputation. Then, how come I’ve only seen a quarter of his men before?"

"He probably didn’t want Allison to be intimidated." Haines chuckled. "By now, you should know that Zoren Pierson takes his wife’s parents’ opinions very seriously."

"Are you saying that so I stop saying bad things about him?"

"I’m just stating facts."

Charles frowned but didn’t reply any further. Instead, he kept his eyes on the people around the area. Although on the outside, the bodyguards weren’t armed, Charles knew very well that wasn’t the case. Underneath those suits hid some weapons—real, deadly weapons.

’It reminds me...’ he thought, slowing down as they were about to reach the front door. ’... if the richest man in Anteca is this powerful, then I wonder just how much more powerful those people are?’

He was referring to the people who had abducted him and tortured him. Those people could do anything they wanted because they knew they could get away with it. People who even the military would keep quiet about because they knew they couldn’t approach them recklessly. After all, this included life and death.

Charles’s thoughts halted when they stopped. His sons quickly hopped out of the van while he took his time unbuckling his seat. However, the moment Charles stepped out, he noticed a guard approaching Atlas and saying something to him.

"What is it?" asked Charles, noticing the change in his son’s expression.
