Chapter 392: Surely, your sincerity is touching, Ray.
Unlike the way the chairman had burst into Atlas's office, he left it beaming. The CEO's staff couldn't help but
glance at him, exchanging looks before picking up another incoming call.
"Hahaha!" the chairman chortled as he passed by the CEO's department office, where the phones were ringing
nonstop. He nodded approvingly. "Word spreads fast! Haha! | should invite sof my friends to have golf this
week!"
Sven quietly assisted his grandfather, but deep down, he felt bitter. 'Of all the Pierson family members, how did
he get Zoren Pierson on his side?"
"Hahaha! What a good day! A good day, indeed!" the chairman's voice rang out as they left the department,
heading to the elevator. "I should invite Charles hfor a drink as well! Hahaha! Today's worthy of
celebration!"
[Back in Atlas's office...]
Atlas studied the shiny golden card between his fingers. In contrast to the busy CEO department, his office was
eerily quiet.
"Zoren Pierson," he whispered, recalling everything he had heard about the man. "So, that man is actually the
head of the Pierson family, huh?"
His expression soured, thinking about how Penny hadn't mentioned this to anyone. She should've at least told
Atlas, considering he was also in the business field and wouldn't have been caught off guard like this.
"Even so, this invitation cjust at the right time," he muttered, knowing the chairman had already been
influenced by Sven earlier. "Who would have thought a mere card could also be an antidote to a poison?"
Not that Atlas didn't have plans to resolve this matter. After all, he was someone who could take and throw the
heat. Even if the chairman asked him to step down, Atlas still had plenty of tto remind the old man that he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas in this position because the rest of the BeFamily - excluding his siblings-only cin second to him.
"This event is months away," he whispered, reading the small text on the card with Zoren's signature at the
bottom. "They send out invitations so early and in such a grand manner. No wonder it's well known among the
elites."
It did feel like a king's envoy arriving with a royal message.
Shaking his head, Atlas was about to put the invitation back in its envelope when he noticed a small card slipped
inside. He hadn't noticed it earlier. Pulling it out, Atlas narrowed his eyes.
"This is... his calling card," he whispered, noticing the contact number on it. A shallow chuckle escaped his lips as
he said, "Does that mean he wantsto call him?"
Fat chance.

"That's what he said, sir."
Zoren chuckled, holding his phone to his ear as he leaned back in his seat. "Got it. The most important thing is
that he accepted my invitation," he said before hanging up on Benjamin.
"As expected of her brother," he whispered with a smile. "They do dislike me."
And yet, Zoren couldn't help but feel amused that Penny's brother disliked him. His amusement, however, was
short-lived when he realized this wasn't good for him. The smile on his face slowly faded as he thought about
how he could make her brothers like him.
"Hmm." He hummed, deep in thought.
Amid his musings, the door to his office suddenly flew open. Even before Zoren could lift his eyes or guess who it
might be, he already knew After all, only two people in this world dared to barge into his office unannounced: Old
Mrs.
Pierson and his dearest cousin, Ray.
"And what do I..." Zoren trailed off as his gaze fell on Ray, noticing the dark mood seeping from his cousin. "...
you're sad?"

"Cousin!" Ray cried out, nearly weeping. "My heart was broken far too many times last night!"
With that, Ray closed the door and flopped onto the vacant couch. He melted into the cushions, recalling how his
marriage proposal had been brutally rejected and how he was nearly drowned by her vicious second brother.
Zoren didn't speak; he simply glanced at Ray and shrugged, resuming work that didn't require Benjamin's help.
"Cousin, how could she be so cruel to me?" Ray lamented tically, his eyes reddening. "I've waited for her
all these years, and all | got was a thousand percent assurance she would never marry me. Not in this lifetime,
and definitely not in the next."
Ray clasped his hands together. "I think I'm going to have a fever. Do you know
her brother tossedinto the pool because of her?"
"I don't even know who you're talking about," Zoren said flatly.
"It's that girl!"
"AR
Ray scrunched up his nose, knowing Zoren was only pretending to understand when, in fact, he had no idea who
Ray was talking about. "Renren, I've mentioned her to you many times! The one who didn't even make it into the
star section because she graduated before all of us!"
"Ah." Zoren nodded, finally recalling that girl, as this was the reason he could never see his cousin in the same
light again. "That girl... that made you a pedophile. Now | remember."
"Yes!" Ray sighed in relief, now able to continue his tic act. "I proposed to
her last night, and she rejectedwithout batting an eye. Worse, her brother was there."
"The brother you offended many years ago?"
"es."
"I told you before," Zoren shrugged, indulging him since he was in a good mood. "That brother will never forgive
you. | wouldn't either if | were in his shoes."
"But that was years ago! All these years of waiting should've been enough to show my sincerity!"
"All these years of waiting?" Zoren repeated, blinking. "With Clara, Alexa, Beauty, Katherine, and many more?"
Ray's face stiffened as Zoren listed a few of his ex-girlfriends from the past twelve years.
"I can't remember them all, but if | were to list them all, it would takea day," Zoren added in the sflat
tone. "Surely, your sincerity is touching, Ray."
