FreeNovel315 Atlas has lost its mind!
“Hahaha!” Hugo's laughter and claps echoed across the office. “That's so funny! No wonder Allen looked so
nervous, and everyone outside too!”
Allen’s frown deepened as he glanced at Hugo, who was doubled over with laughter, clutching his stomach.
“That... is... not nice-pfft!” Hugo broke out into laughter again. “You should've told Allen! He must've felt so
embarrassed! Hahaha!”
“Sir Hugo, | feel more embarrassed by how you're laughing at me,” Allen sighed. If it weren't for Hugo's
uncontrollable laughter, Allen might have felt more shocked and relieved rather than embarrassed. Despite his
remark, Hugo tried and failed -to stifle his laughter.
Atlas shook his head at his second brother, then cast a look at Allen. “He can be shameless, but | hope you
learned a big lesson today. As my right hand, you should knowbetter than anyone. | don’t engage in
scandalous affairs, nor do I indulge in temporary bliss.”
“Yes, sir.” Allen lowered his head. “I shouldn't have doubted you. I've learned my lesson now!
“First Brother, don’t be too hard on him,” Penny chuckled, watching Allen slowly raise his head. “I'm really sorry
about that. | was just being playful, but what my brother said was right. You should know him better than
anyone.”
“Yes, Miss Penelope.” Allen lowered his gaze, while Penny offered him a subtle smile.
Even though Allen had thought she was Atlas’s mistress, he hadn't treated her poorly. In fact, everyone here had
remained professional. Penny couldn’t help but compare this experience to the people directly under Zoren
Pierson.
“But then again, Atlas’s life was never in danger,’ she thought, considering the long list of life-and-death
situations Zoren had faced over the years. ‘So, | really can’t blthat vitamin-deficient man for going the extra
mile in repelling everyone. They also kept tellingI'm not the first one to approach Renren with such
intentions.”

Penny could only imagine what Zoren had experienced for his assistant to act like his mother. “Anyway, Hugo,
that’s enough, Atlas warned, watching his brother wipe his eyes. “You're hurting Allen's pride even more. | think
that punishment is enough.”
“I'm not trying to punish him.....”
“But | am,” Atlas confessed, snapping his eyes to his assistant. “Now, that’s enough. He's learned his lesson”
“Fine, fine: Hugo cleared his throat and straightened his back, casting Allen a smile. “Now you know how my
brother punishes people. Don’t worry, we've all been through it, right, Penny?” “Haha... don’t mention it, Penny
laughed awkwardly, recalling how many times Atlas had dragged her into his nonsense as a form of revenge.
“I've never done anything to Penny, Atlas said, only to earn disbelieving looks from his siblings.

“When did 1?”

“... Penny and Hugo were speechless. “That's your reason?”
“I'm not petty,” Atlas said, a glint flickering in his eyes.
Lies!
Penny, Hugo, and Allen were nearly deceived until the corner of Atlas’s lips curled up briefly. It was a small
gesture, but it didn’t escape their sharp, observant eyes.
“Anyway, why are you here, Second Brother?” Penny asked out of pure curiosity. “Are you planning to have lunch
together?”
“He’s dropping by because he’s bored, that’s all,” Atlas replied nonchalantly.
Hugo smiled. “I dropped by because | heard Sven is gaining favor with the elders. | wanted to see how he's
doing.”
“If he’s the one you're visiting, his office is a few levels below mine, Atlas responded flatly. “Go and see him. I'm
sure he'll be elated.”
“First Brother, don’t be jealous.” Hugo chuckled. “Of course, | need to see you first. | can visit him. last.”
“Speaking of Sven, First Brother, how's the situation with Ito Motors?” Penny inquired. “You haven't mentioned
anything about it.”
“If you'd chlast night, you would've known.”
Penny’s expression soured.
“Sir, is it alright to tell them about it?” Allen asked, thinking the matter was quite confidential. “The situation is
confidential, but it's also a family matter,” Atlas remarked. “My siblings already know half of it, so I don’t mind.”
Allen nodded, interpreting Atlas’s words as a signal that Penny and Hugo were his allies. “Well, the thing is... Sir
Atlas is losing his mind!”
“Huh?” Penny's face twitched, expecting Allen to say something important,
Hugo tilted his head, while Atlas frowned.
“What is he on about now?” Atlas muttered, giving Allen a deadly look to make him stop talking. However, Allen
duly avoided his gaze and turned to Atlas’s siblings as if he were tattling on his boss.
“Not only did he give the negotiation powers to the general manager, but he also wants to

abotage himself!” Allen continued, hoping Atlas’s siblings would intervene. “Sir Sven has already

succeed. However, CEO Atlas wants to break this negotiation with an impossible proposal!”
Hugo furrowed his brows. “An Impossible proposal?”
“He wants to raise our rates for Ito Motors!” Allen was exasperated, making everyone wonder just how long he
had been holding these big emotions back. “If Sir Atlas does this, I'm afraid he'll lose to Sir Sven. After all,
everyone on the general manager's side is backed by the PrGroup. The PrGroup will soon operate in the
country, and with them supporting Sir Sven, there's a huge possibility that there could be a change of power in
the company!”
After speaking in one breath, Allen was panting. Slowly, he gazed up at Penny and Hugo, hoping they understood
the dilemma caused by Atlas’s stubbornness. But to his dismay, all he saw were the siblings smiling at him in
amusement.
“Penny, you've got their back?” Hugo asked Penny, who shook her head.
“Was he ever my Big Brother?” she replied with a chuckle. “But it is amazing how Sven is usingto make a
nfor himself. My brother doesn’t even do that.”
“He's delusional, Atlas shrugged. “Let him be.”
Allen darted his eyes between the three, who were casually conversing as if they hadn't heard. him. Deep lines
formed between his brows before he blurted out,
“Sir, what's going on?”
The three stopped talking and turned to him. The first to break the silence was Hugo.
“Oh, First Brother didn’t tell you about this either?” Hugo tilted his head. “Penny owns the PrGroup.”
