Chapter 1105: What a coincidence
Chapter 1105: What a coincidenceThe day started great, and with that, it meant there were no Bennet brothers around.
Atlas wasn’t lying when he said he was there for business purposes. Penny had heard about the project that had been on hold since Zoren’s health started declining. But since Atlas was now taking charge, he planned to continue the project.
Atlas took Hugo with him. It was the reason Hugo was there—to guard Atlas in case he needed one. For some reason, Atlas had developed anxiety whenever he would fly abroad, feeling the need for a bodyguard or someone to ensure his safety. Even on a casual business trip, he would take Allen or someone else with him for protection.
Penny could swear her First Brother wasn’t like that in the past. It was a mystery to her when Atlas had gotten into this habit.
As for Slater, Butler Lee told them he left early to explore alone—soul-
"What are you doing here?" Zoren asked while his wife was busy scanning the area for any movements. His eyes were directed at Finn.
"I received an invitation here from the Chairwoman," Finn explained with a smile, his eyes squinting. "She gave me two tickets, saying she heard that I was hurt not long ago. So, she kindly sent me plane tickets to relax and recover well. I brought my fiancée along, of course."
Nina pursed her lips and added timidly, "I didn’t know you guys were also here until we bumped into Third Brother earlier on the beach."
Penny snapped her attention back to them and nodded. "Well, Finn is part of the shareholder board," she mumbled in understanding. It wasn’t surprising that the Chairwoman would pay attention and be more considerate of him. Besides, Grandma Pierson had probably heard that Finn was Nina’s fiancé, and that Finn was on Zoren’s side.
"But..." Penny trailed off as she turned her eyes to Lily, Ginnie, and Max. "I’m not surprised that James is here; he obviously came here because of Third Brother."
James smiled and nodded. "I should’ve flown with him, but I had a prior commitment. So, he came first before me."
"Then, what about you three?" Penny asked, pointing at Lily, Ginnie, and Max. "Wait. Max, who is your girlfriend? Is it Lily or Ginnie?"
Max’s face contorted. "Do you see me as a womanizer?"
"Penny, let me explain!" Lily cleared her throat. "Remember that I’ve been doing trips here and there recently? This place is part of my destination plans because of the beaches, and Ginnie promised me she’d come! Coincidentally, she has a two-week break, so I dragged her with me."
"We were also surprised when we saw Nina while we were buying some souvenirs by the beach," Ginnie added.
Penny’s brows wrinkled, but she didn’t question it. She knew Lily had been traveling a lot recently; it was how Penny had received the matching costume she brought on this trip. Lily got it for her while she was abroad.
Then, that left Max.
Everyone slowly set their eyes on Max, curiosity in their eyes. Max, on the other hand, felt a little pressured now that everyone was looking at him.
Slater frowned. "What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?"
Slater’s question was quite far-fetched since he and Max were obviously not friends. They had heard about each other and went to the same school, but their school lives were too different for them to remember any interactions.
So, in a way, they couldn’t help but glance at Slater and wonder if he was alright.
