Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: Don’t get her involved

"Did your girlfriend have a good night’s rest last night?"

Dean’s brows slightly twitched. "Of course she did."

"You spent the night with her too?" Zoren nodded as he faced the elevator, smirking in amusement. "Good for you."

"Thank you, Uncle."

DING!

When the elevator chimed and opened, Zoren didn’t hesitate and stepped inside. Standing alone in the elevator, he glanced at Benjamin.

"Ben, my nephew will not share the lift with me," he said, his gaze meaningfully fixed on Dean. "Nephew, I’m glad to see you this morning. It has surprisingly made me even happier."

Benjamin glanced at his boss as he got inside and couldn’t help but mentally giggle. ’Yes!’

"It wasn’t my intention, but I’m glad I could help," Dean replied with a smile. "If the head is in a good mood, everyone feels at peace. That’s all I want — everyone to be at peace."

Zoren and Dean smiled at each other. However, their smiles didn’t reach their eyes. They maintained their gazes as the elevator door slowly closed. Once the doors met, their smiles quickly faded.

"Sir, that was smooth!" Benjamin remarked approvingly. "You didn’t see it, but I know you hit a nerve!"

Zoren didn’t respond immediately. "Benjamin, did you send me the files on Dean’s new associates?"

"Yes! They should be in your office."

"Good." Zoren drew a deep breath and straightened his back. "Then, watch out for Finn. He’s currently Dean’s biggest support. With the shareholders’ meeting coming up in a few weeks, they’re going to attack again."

Benjamin rubbed his hands together and giggled. "Don’t worry about that, sir. Miss Penelope already sent her best men to protect you."

"Don’t lower your guard," Zoren said calmly but assertively. "Dean and Miss Penelope are still acquaintances."

"Sir, do you still not trust Miss Penelope?"

"I trust her."

"Then why did you say that?"

"Because she doesn’t want to get more involved, and I don’t want her to be more involved in this than she already is." Zoren’s tone was unwavering. "It’s the least I can do for her."
