Chapter 1683: how come that bitch is still alive?"That drug Penny’s been studying for some time. The lethal drug."
Atlas and Dean didn’t speak. They just stared at each other, and their silence was louder than a scream.
Without a word, Dean took off his blazer, dragging a stool as he sat down by the counter. But instead of going straight for the box of pills, he checked every chemical and
How did he think so?
Well...
Atlas shifted his attention back to the Smith Family. It seems they were the fall guys here.
He nodded, thinking this had something to do with Jonathan’s awareness of Penny’s rebirth. Even if Atlas were in Jonathan’s shoes, he wouldn’t use Penny as the fall guy anymore, because the risk percentage was too high.
Is this why Penny... no, I was chosen to be the fall guy? And Penny just had to take the fall for me because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time? Atlas wondered, recalling the confession story Penny and Slater had told them.
His gaze lingered on the Smith Family section, approaching it to take a better look at the notes written around it.
The Smith Family tree was connected to all sorts of things, especially Senator Smith and his son, Cassandra’s father.
Bribery.
Corruption.
Illegal funds going in and out of their banks under different accounts.

Atlas already knew that from Penny, who got the information from Priscilla.

The question lingered in his mind until he noticed one of the photos in the corner of the wall. He narrowed his eyes, not sure if he knew the guy or if they simply resembled each other. After all, Atlas hadn’t met the man in person, so he wasn’t completely sure. Besides, he wasn’t following the news much lately because it was mostly about Cassandra Smith or Senator Smith.
"That’s Senator Smith’s biggest competitor." Suddenly, Dean’s voice rang from behind him.
Atlas glanced back, only to catch Dean approaching. The latter stopped a step beside him, eyes on the photo Atlas had been focusing on.
"And his chances of winning are high with the ongoing scandal with the Smiths," Dean explained, scanning the board quietly. "But I don’t care about that. All I want to ask is..."
His eyes settled on Naylani’s photo. "... how come that bitch is still alive?"
