Chapter 553: I do not want to be involved in a scandalous relationship.
How the Millers, Sven, and the Ito family were escorted out went unnoticed by the crowd. All eyes were glued to Zoren and Penny. Darting their gazes between the two, a swirl of complicated emotions stirred in everyone’s hearts.
Some couldn’t help but admire the two; watching them together looked perfect. One was the most powerful man in Anteca, while the other was the woman who had been making gigantic waves since she first stepped foot in this place. Especially after witnessing Mr. Ito kowtow before Penny, regardless of everyone’s presence, spoke volumes. It only demonstrated that, from the place she came from, she was, in a way, on the same footing as Zoren.
Zoren smiled as he straightened his back, reluctant to let her hand go. At that moment, all he could think about was holding her hand throughout the night. After all, even with his vision problems, he could feel the intense desire some men had been giving her.
But alas...
"Okay, that’s enough!" Slater jumped in between them, pulling Penny’s arm closer to his side. His lips stretched from ear to ear, displaying all his perfect teeth. "I’m Penny’s date for tonight. You said you’re my First Brother’s date, didn’t you? Enjoy your bromance."
’It’s not me who said that,’ Zoren wanted to reply. ’Technically, it was Benjamin who said that.’
Although Benjamin’s statement was true.
Penny, on the other hand, glanced at her third brother but chose to keep her mouth shut. What had happened was already enough for the night. Adding more would surely diminish the significance of the event.
"I see you made it." Atlas approached the group with a smile. "And you’ve greeted my sister."
"Apologies for the delay. I was stuck in the... traffic," Zoren explained, even though he hadn’t encountered any traffic; he had been busy with Penny and thus couldn’t leave early.
