Chapter 1292: She probably loves him
Zoren’s brows rose in surprise as he saw Penny’s reaction to what he had said. He didn’t need to tell them everything for her to know what he had just done.
"Darling, you just provoked him!" Penny gasped. "Why would you say that?"
"Isn’t that a little too risky?" Atlas commented, thinking about Zoren’s actions.
Zoren shrugged slightly. "Making him believe that I am also reborn, just like him, would surely put him in a tight situation. After all, if all the information we have is accurate, then I’m sure I didn’t just sit by in the previous timeline."
One thing he knew for sure was that he had fought for his wife, even though it might not have been out of love. Whatever his reason for meddling with Penny’s case in the past might have been, something he didn’t know. However, what he was certain of was that he had acted in what he thought was the right way.
In other words, Zoren was confident that he had contributed to Jonathan’s failure in the past.
"Besides, Jonathan Pierson has always been a part of the Pierson Family," Zoren explained. "I think it’s only right that I handle him. He’s my responsibility as the head of the family. Moreover, I’ve already received a lot of help from you."
Zoren studied the expression on Penny’s face and then Atlas’s. Unlike Penny, Atlas’s expression remained neutral.
"If you think that’s the best decision, then I understand," Atlas nodded. "I also think it’s not a bad idea."
After all, Atlas had had the same idea not long ago. However, he decided not to act on it. Why? Because for him, it was better if Jonathan thought that Atlas was clueless. People tend to lower their guards around those they consider weaker than themselves.
