Chapter 708: Promise me.
The incident on the road could just be a coincidence. After all, Slater wasn’t the only one who liked flashy things and drove a red sports car. Whoever it was, Atlas had no idea. However, he firmly believed that Slater wasn’t daring enough to do such a thing.
Not that Slater was a coward... just slightly.
But one question remained: Why did Slater get a copy of the dashcam footage?
Slater winced, looking back at his older brother as if the latter had just caught him red-handed. "He mentioned me?"
"He did. I only have one popular brother whose signature makes people happy."
"First Brother, I’m sure your signature makes people happy—especially if it comes with a raise!"
"Slater." Atlas’s face darkened. "Don’t change the subject. Answer me. Why?"
"..." Slater pursed his lips, looking at his brother as if considering an escape. But with the look on Atlas’s face, he knew his brother would get an answer, even if he had to break him limb by limb.
"Tsk. Fine!" Slater grumbled and sighed in surrender. "I’ll tell you, okay? So stop glaring at me—I might melt."
"Tell me now."
"Tsk." Slater sighed for the umpteenth time, snapping his eyes upward as if to think for a moment. When he locked eyes with Atlas again, he huffed faintly. "When I heard about Assistant Allen and what he did, I couldn’t believe it, okay? Assistant Allen has always been so kind to me. He would tell me if you were in the mood for favors and even sneak sweets whenever he visited, without James knowing. How could someone like that do something so horrible?"
He paused and crossed his arms. "I don’t believe he would betray you and our family like that. But I heard that the investigation is saying otherwise. I don’t like it!"
