263 Toast 

Don’t worry. I’m not interested in whatever family affairs you guys have. I don’t like complicated” 

Dean assessed her nonchalant side profile before a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He nodded and turned toward the door, hearing the dingof the elevator and stepping out just in 

time

Right, Penny, I actually wanted to discuss businessHe turned around, thinking she was following him. However, as soon as he turned, he saw the elevator door closing with her waving 

from inside

Thanks for the free pass. See you!she beamed

Dean took a step forward, but the door closed. What?he whispered, glancing up at the numbers above the elevator. She’s going up?” 

Wasn’t the top floor his uncle’s office

His smile quickly faded as he wondered what was going on between Penny and Zoren

She just said she’s not interested. What is she up to now?he hissed, heading to the other 

elevator

Meanwhile, Penny smiled in satisfaction as the silence embraced her like a good friend’s hug. She had said she wasn’t interested in the Pierson family affairs, but now she was, unfortunately,

part of it

She was an unknown part of the family, and Penny wanted to keep it that way. She needed to keep this under wraps before things got out of control

After all, Dean’s attitude shows just how bad it is,” she whispered. It’s worse than the Bennet 

Family

If Sven Bennet and his uncles and elders were already greedy for control, this family was of a different caliber. The brief exchange with Dean and the bodyguards had already shown her how bad it was. She had no intention of getting tangled up in such a mess

I worked hard and sacrificed my youth to live peacefully as an adult,she whispered, leaning her side against the wall. I’m not letting a stranger ruin all that.” 

A glint flickered across her eyes as her determination to end this once and for all solidified

Dean Pierson was already too much to handle. Dealing with another Pierson was the last thing she wanted. Her impression of Zoren Pierson was neither good nor bad, but her instincts told her he was trouble

She had survived by trusting her instincts, and her Instincts had never failed her not even 

once

Penny would never put herself between Dean and Zoren

[CEO’S OFFICE

Sir, something’s wrong!Benjamin intoned, standing in front of the desk where Zoren was seated. Please tell me if there’s something I should be aware of. You wouldn’t make that mistake, nor would you have acted like that if nothing was wrong!” 

Zoren winced slightly, his ears sensitive to the loud sound Benjamin was making

Sir-” 

I can’t see,” Zoren confessed, just to shut him up, snapping his gaze to the blurry figure standing across from him

Benjamin’s breath hitched at his boss’s confession. What?” 

today’s worse, Zoren clarified, pointing to his eyes

I can’t see clearly. Everything’s a blur That’s what’s wrong. Even if I saw the figure at the reception, my estimation failed me.” 

Benjamin’s heart sank. He opened and closed his mouth, but no sound came out. The corners of his eyes reddened with worry as he looked at his boss in disbelief

From the outside, no one would know something was wrong 

With Zoren. After all, right now, Zoren was staring him straight in the eye. His nonchalant and plain tone made it sound as if he were joking

But alas… 

Since when?Benjamin asked, knowing his boss’s health had been declining rapidly

Zoren leaned back, now satisfied that Benjamin had calmed down. Since the accident” 

Oh, godBenjamin held his head as he staggered back. Whatoh my godsir, let’s cancel all your appointments. I think it’s best if you get admitted and rest first.” 

It’s alright.” 

But-” 

My 

visit to Doctor Tan surely reached the nosy ears and prying eyes of the family. If I admit myself to the hospital again, they’ll see it as an opportunity, Zoren explained. As long as they don’t know what’s going on, they won’t be able to do anything.” 

Benjamin’s heart clenched upon hearing that reasoning. It wasn’t that he didn’t know everything Zoren said was true. In fact, Benjamin knew it all too well. However, it broke his heart that despite Zoren’s worsening condition, he couldn’t show the slightest trace of weakness. Otherwise, his enemies would eat him alive like hungry piranhas

BZZT

Benjamin felt his phone vibrate and fished it out to check. His expression darkened
