The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744: Why Dad?

"The question would be... what did we do in that actual first timeline?"

A long, quiet stretch filled the private ward where the Bennet siblings, Zoren, and Finn were seated.

What Finn laid out was a hypothetical situation, riding on Zoren’s first instinct and Atlas’s interest in it. Now, he had thrown a gigantic "what-if" at all of them. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

And somehow, worded like that, it made sense.

What if the previous life they understood wasn’t the first timeline, but actually the second to someone else?

"Looking at it from that lens, then maybe... what happened to the Bennet family and the Pierson family isn’t as big a mystery?" Finn shrugged. "And the more I talk about it from this perspective, I’m starting to believe it carries more weight."

"Let’s put it this way," he continued. "Jonathan woke up in this lifetime and remembered what happened in the previous life. In his story, Zoren is the big, manipulative villain."

At this point, he didn’t blame Jonathan for that. Zoren could be a villain. Actually, he was a villain — only tamed because his wife was crazier.

"If Jonathan was the only one who remembered the past, I am certain he would’ve gotten what he wanted," Finn nodded at them. "But we have to take into account that Jonathan didn’t only change his probability of success. He also diverted things, such as what happened to Penny in the previous life. He admitted in this life that he didn’t want that to happen to Penny."

Maybe it was conscience, but they all knew that wasn’t Jonathan’s real reason for letting the Bennet family slip out of his plans.

"For Jonathan, going after my family or me might’ve set off Zoren’s craze," Penny remarked. "That one, I am sure."

They all nodded in agreement.

In their previous life, Zoren didn’t know Penny, yet he was compelled to pick up her case and poke his nose into a stranger’s life. In the end, Zoren got too deep into it as he uncovered the Pierson family’s — particularly Jonathan’s — involvement in Penny’s case.

Still, the story ended in tragedy.

"I am looking at the same perspective, but it’s a mess," Zoren finally hummed, earning everyone’s attention. "In our previous life, everyone fell... including myself. That means whoever this person was succeeded."

"Maybe not... entirely," Atlas remarked. "Maybe whoever this was succeeded in dealing with us for whatever we had done in that hypothetical first life before the one you remember."

"Let’s not forget we’re looking at the Church, right?" Slater raised his hands. "If this is true — which I don’t fully believe — a lot of it still doesn’t make sense. I mean, are we what? Cursed in a loop? Because that is crazy."

"Bellemonte."

Suddenly, Hugo blurted the name under his breath. Even so, it caught everyone’s attention. He arched his brows at them and shrugged.

"What?" he asked. "I just thought about the scheme we uncovered in Ravah and that signature — Henrik, the governor, and Nathalie."

"What if... in our previous life, whoever tied us all in that misery succeeded, but forgot one thing?" Atlas muttered, building off Hugo’s thought. "That is..."

"The Bellemonte family," Zoren rocked his head. "I know them."

In their previous life, Zoren was the one who had taken control of the Order for a short time. However, he didn’t have much time left, and he barely used the power he could’ve wielded from them. Even so, he knew about the founding families — just not the full extent of them.

"The Bellemonte family has a lot of potential, considering they were the wealthiest among the founding families," Atlas explained. "But somehow, their military strength was diminishing over the years. That’s how he got the idea to send his men to Ravah — to train them and to hide his son."
