Chapter 316: They won’t do that
"Penny owns the Prime Group."
For a second, Allen scanned the Bennet siblings with his wide, dilated eyes. He waited for them to laugh or tell him they were kidding, thinking he must have been gullible to believe such a thing.
But they didn’t.
They all stared back at him with the same plain look, a shared expression that underscored their familial connection.
"What?" Allen forced out a breath, his gaze falling on Penny. His lips quivered. "You are... the CEO... of the Prime Group?"
Penny, Atlas, and Hugo all nodded.
This time, Allen’s breath hitched, cutting his gasp short. He scanned the siblings’ faces again, searching for any sign of deception.
There wasn’t any.
Allen covered his gaping mouth, his eyes glued to Penny. "Oh my god... I’m so sorry, Miss Penny! I didn’t know!"
"I’m not surprised you didn’t know," Penny chuckled. "Not everyone knows. Only those close to me are aware that I’m the person behind it. So, there’s no need to apologize."
"I wonder..." Hugo leaned back. "Does Slater know about your company?"
"I don’t know," Penny shook her head. "He never asked. Though he knows I have a business, I guess?"
