The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517: Let’s Begin

The next day...

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

Allen and Haji were both mortified upon seeing the person in the room with them. Just yesterday, they had talked about how Atlas would never allow Lola to be part of this mission. That it was too dangerous for her. They dropped the topic because it wasn’t even worth considering.

But what the heck was going on?

Allen and Haji weren’t the only ones stupefied. Every single person in the room stared at Lola with a mixture of confusion and disbelief. Even Scarlet, who stood in the corner with her arms crossed, watched with intrigue flickering in her eyes.

Standing at the end of the long table, Lola’s smile stretched until her eyes squinted. Slowly, she shifted her gaze to the corner where Atlas stood. Atlas narrowed his eyes at her as if he’d been scammed in some way. But he had given his word — and if there was something he loathed more than anything, it was breaking what he had already spoken.

"Let’s begin," Atlas said, finally tearing his gaze from his wife.

But before they could start, an issue had already arisen.

"Master, I hate to interrupt, but what is she doing here?"

"Is that a question?" Atlas returned. "Lola will be part of this mission.

The others frowned upon hearing that, one of them adding, "This mission is important for both the Order and especially for the Bellemonte."

"We are not against the Madam," another said. "We know that, sooner or later, she’ll need to get involved in the family’s affairs. But having this mission be her debut... Master, please reconsider."

One after another, they lowered their heads, showing respect and sincerity in their opposition.

Scarlet arched a brow, eyes sweeping over the men before locking on Lola. The corners of her lips curled into a smirk — which Lola immediately caught — then Scarlet snapped her gaze toward Atlas.

"Master, like everyone said... please reconsider," she echoed. "We trust the Madam because you trust her. But with all due respect, this mission isn’t a small matter for her to be involved in. It’s already dangerous, and we can’t have our men worrying about anything else — or anyone else."

Lola frowned, almost glaring at her husband.

You said I could trust this woman? How can I trust her when she’s making it impossible?

Atlas remained calm as he studied everyone’s demeanor.

"Lola and Haji have been in the Ravah Territory before," he explained. "Our main issue was the lack of inside information. Considering the severity and priority of this mission, it’s best to have people familiar with the place."

He paused, raising his chin — expression unchanged, yet the air around him turned commanding.

"If you disapprove of having them on the team, then vacate your seats," Atlas said sternly. "Leaving now will not result in consequences. But I’m not changing my mind."

Silence consumed the room. They exchanged looks, clearly reconsidering. They were just waiting for someone else to move first.

Atlas had given his word: leave now, no consequences. But the reward for this mission was too big.

Why bring Lola into this?

"If no one is leaving—" Atlas paused, brow lifting as one man stood.

All eyes shifted toward him.

"I’m sorry, Master," the man said. "I want to go on this mission, but I don’t think it’s practical to bring the Madam or... this other man with us."
