Chapter 1242: A million
The Bennets, along with Zoren, spent the entire night discussing and putting things in order. With Penny’s memories, Slater’s, and Penny’s informant (Finn’s) recollections of the past, they pieced together a broad picture of the overall situation — what their future might look like. Although many questions remained, one thing was clear: if they slipped up, the consequences could be dire.
Having Penny and Slater recall the past and share their knowledge was a huge advantage. However, the possibility that their enemies also remembered made it feel like they weren’t ahead by much. Even so, they were grateful for the second chance—especially for the choices Penny had made, like ensuring Charles’s survival. And now, he was still very much alive... to annoy his children.
They preferred their father driving them crazy over his permanent silence.
Because the discussion had lasted so long, the Bennet brothers decided to stay the night.

"And these... make a thousand copies!" Dean announced happily, his eyes squinting into crescent moons.
Jonathan, seated at his desk, could only stare at him blankly. Just yesterday, Zoren had personally called Dean into his office and instructed Dean’s secretary to stop wasting company resources. Jonathan had thought that would put an end to things.
But not only did Dean not stop—he had seemingly doubled down.
"A thousand... copies?" Jonathan repeated, his mouth slightly open.
"Yes, a thousand." Dean nodded. "The CEO told me not to waste resources on unnecessary things. So, since we need these to distribute to all employees, do it."
Zoren had told him not to waste resources, but he hadn’t told Dean not to ask Jonathan to do it.
