Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 100

Chapter 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.

"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 told me something’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 on me as 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."

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 find me a threat!"

"Wow..." this time, Hugo and Atlas couldn’t help but join Penny.

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 I?"

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

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.’
