Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

100 I'm right here On the way home, Penny watched her brothers with razor focus when she started sensing this intense gaze around. This time, she was certain that unsettling feeling from earlier was coming from them. This was no illusion anymore. D 1 "Penny, why are you looking at us like this?" Slater was a little terrified because her eyes were. literally on fire! "Did we did we do something?" Did she eventually find out about the birthday plans? "My divination toldsomething's afoot. Penny scanned her brother's faces and added, "What is it?" "What is what?" Hugo tilted his head, blinking innocently.

"Penny, it's not nice to grow suspicious of people when they haven't done anything to you, Atlas remarked before he quickly realized they hadn't done anything to the point they were neglecting her. His face turned sour. Penny hummed, keeping her narrowed eyes on them. She slowly looked away, only to turn her head at them again.

"Oh, god!" Slater jolted because her eyes always landed on him first. "What?!" Penny didn't answer and sucked her inner cheeks. They're not planning to pull a prank onas well, do they?" Gah! The mere thought of a prank brought this indescribable dismay into her heart. Today, she picked a fight with Ray and even the star section herself. Penny wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow, she would have to face other fan clubs as well.

'Oh, my god.' Penny's face almost melted as dark clouds formed over her head. I should meet the headmaster and ask for advanced exams. Maybe, if I proposed to do extra projects, I could skip the rest of the semester." Penny felt bitter in her heart, and she couldn't help but glare daggers at Slater. This guy's at fault here! If not for his cowardice, I could've skipped the entire school year!" "Penny, what did I do now?!" Slater gasped nervously. "I swear I studied really hard today! Look!" Slater quickly took out something from his bag and handed her his quiz today. "See?!" "Huh?" the fire that was engulfing her diminished at the paper in front of her. "What's this?" "It's my result of the pop quiz!" "Pop quiz?" Penny just gazed at the handwritten second on the side.

Seven out of ten.

"Wow," she slowly gazed up at him, lips gaping. "Wow." 11:26 1/4 100 I'm right here Seeing the stunned look on her face, Slater raised his chin high.

"Haha!" he rubbed the tip of his nose. "Not to brag, but I didn't break a sweat while answering. It's amazing! I mean, even though this is just a recap for the past lessons, the questions were so familiar and the answers were like written at the back of my hand." "Wow..." "See?" Slater smirked proudly. "I told you! I am only at the bottom of our class because if I get serious, even the star section will finda threat!") "Wow..." this time, Hugo and Atlas couldn't help but join Penny.

1 Seeing their reaction, Slater was unsure if they were amazed that he got seven out of ten on the pop quiz or if they were trying to mock him.

"Wha what? Slater cleared his throat. "I did great, did 1?" "You did." Atlas nodded, and Hugo smiled proudly.

"I knew it. You're also smart - just a little immature," said Hugo.

Hearing this, Slater pressed his lips as his cheeks blushed a little. He then cast Penny a look as if her praise was the only one missing. When his eyes locked with hers, his tensed shoulders relaxed at the smile that appeared on her face.

"Third brother, this is so cool!" she gave him a thumbs up, eyes shimmering with pride as if she would cry any moment. "I want to frthis now." For a second, the three brothers stared at her in a trance. Her smile was neither wide nor short, but her eyes twinkled so beautifully that she looked like an angel.

*I also did well in my quiz today," Hugo blurted out under his breath, making his siblings look in. his direction. "But I left it in my locker." "Hah!" Slater snorted. "Big brother, you need evidence! As soon as those words flew out of his mouth, Atlas elegantly aired his mock test today. He looked at Slater and dawdled, "Fifty out of fifty" Slater's jaw hit the floor while Penny darted her eyes between her brothers.

'Something's wrong with them, huh? Penny shook her head and looked away. 'So weird.'

If she didn't know them well, Penny would think they were trying to appease her. However she knew her brothers somuch so that she wouldn't let any - even the slightest of hope enter her heart. Perhaps she wouldn't mind Hugo since he was the kindest. But Atlas and Slater? Penny cupped her face as she quietly looked out the window. These two... I don't even want to imagine. I'd just get disappointed." 11:26 2/4 ПАГЕ intense look they had been giving her, they were a little curious.

'Did she not like my exam result?' wondered Atlas as he gazed at his test paper. 'But it's perfect Slater also wondered, 'Why did she suddenly turn silent?' 'Is she tired?' was Hugo's thoughts.

Thinking that she was tired, the brothers also went silent. It was much better for her to be silent than herto look at them suspiciously. Even so, they couldn't help but look at her because Penny didn't speak another word throughout the ride. When they arrived, Penny quickly jumped out of the van and told Butler Jen about "Thursday" Since Butler Jen was familiar with it and even included it in the plans, he already prepared her pets so she could just pick them up.

Penny changed clothes and, without further ado, left the house to meet Thurday Guy. 2 On her way, she couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

"Why did I suddenly feel down?" she muttered to herself, shaking her head to get rid of what was bothering her.

She diverted her attention by looking O at he place with Thursday at her meeting Guy T Seeing him not there, she О immediately assumed he was behind the bush. So, as usual, Penny put down the carriers and crawled into the bush. But when her head popped in, there was no one. "Huh?" she blinked, looking around the little space. "Did he forget about today? Or he didn't come?" Another deep sigh escaped her, thinking that sickly guy would be a great distraction. "I just hope. he's not dead." As Penny idled with half of her body in the bush while the rest outside, Renren was standing right behind her. "I'm right here." X
