The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 707

Chapter 707: Did He Not Know?

"A butler?" Lola repeated, confused. "Nathalie Zorken’s butler?"

Atlas nodded, explaining to her who this butler was that Zoren had mentioned. From what Zoren said during their short call, he had visited Jonathan — someone connected to the Bennet and Pierson families — who had once been part of the Order.

Or rather, Jonathan had been part of the forces Nathalie Zorken had built a long time ago.

"And this butler... is just like us, you say?" she asked again, and he nodded.

"During that time, when we were dealing with Nathalie, we always thought Nathalie herself was living her second life," he explained patiently. "Everything pointed to that. Then Zoren found out it wasn’t Nathalie who remembered her previous life. It was the butler — the one who had always been by her side — who remembered the past."

Atlas paused, eyes on Lola. "Because of that, we managed to get the upper hand. Otherwise, I don’t think we would’ve survived Nathalie back then."

From Atlas’s explanation, had Nathalie been the one who remembered her first life, Atlas wouldn’t have gained access to the Order.

That was because in the first life, Zoren — Penny’s husband — managed to take down Nathalie when her forces were still weak. Although her network was wide, Zoren had the upper hand with the Phantom Circle. Yes, the same Phantom Circle that now served Atlas, because Zoren had completely stepped away from the underground world for the sake of his wife and the family they wanted to build.

Atlas took them in solely because he didn’t trust the Order at first.

Although the Phantom Circle had expanded with a mix of its original members and a selected few from the Order, their sole purpose was to stay in Atlas’s shadow. Hence, they weren’t openly part of the Order most of the time. Or rather, they could be in the manor, but no one would know they were part of the Phantom Circle.

That was the level of secrecy Atlas had imposed. Only members of the Phantom Circle knew who belonged to it — and even then, they still didn’t know everyone in the Circle.

In other words, only Atlas — not even Allen — knew the exact number and identities of the Phantom Circle.

But if Nathalie had awakened with memories of the first timeline — or remembered it midway through her life — it would have been catastrophic. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Zoren might never even have been born.

"But if the butler remembered his previous life, doesn’t that mean he could’ve warned her about the disaster that could fall on her shoulders?" She tilted her head before realization dawned. "Oh... he didn’t get reborn with his memories from the start, huh?"

"That’s the only explanation we could come up with," Atlas answered. "Otherwise, things would’ve been different. Nathalie Zorken could’ve eliminated her father before he announced his heir to avoid a massive tragedy. If not, she might’ve poisoned her sisters before they posed a threat."

"Worst-case scenario, if she failed early damage control, she could’ve claimed the Order before Zoren did... or before I did," Atlas remarked. "The only reason she didn’t was that she had no memories of the past — and in the first timeline, Nathalie Zorken didn’t disclose everything to her butler."

Lola’s mouth fell open as she slowly nodded, seeing the full picture. "So you’re saying... the butler didn’t know how to claim the Order?"

"That’s right." Atlas nodded. "Zoren did, and he told me. So here I am today."

"So now, this Jonathan guy mentioned the butler to Zoren?" she clarified, and he nodded again. "And that we should look into him because many of Nathalie’s decisions were influenced by him?"

"Yes."

Atlas cleared his throat and pulled out his phone, typing something. "I’m letting Henrik know about this."

Atlas smiled faintly. "We’ll still conduct our own investigation and look into this butler. However, I want to test how far I can trust Henrik Bellemonte." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
