Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Finder’s keepers!

Everyone watched Slater place pieces of candies on the floor in disbelief. When he said he had a great idea and that it would make Penny come out, everyone was a little skeptical. Among the brothers, Slater was the one who was against Penny.

If not for Penny’s long patience and deep understanding, everyone wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up fighting like cats and dogs. But Slater was confident, and since they wanted to believe in his spirit, they let him execute his plans.

Who would have thought this silly plan would work?

In the entry hall, Butler Jen and Haines’s mouths fell open when they caught the top of Penny’s hair bouncing over the railing. Butler Jen was so shocked he couldn’t help but cover his gaping mouth.

’Miss Penny...’ Butler Jen mentally wept, now worried that Penny would be kidnapped so easily!

Haines, on the other hand, carried a blank look. "She... she’s so cute," he whispered.

"Right." Butler Jen cleared his throat and shifted his eyes to the family hiding in the corner. He raised a thumb at them, watching the family scurry back to the family room. He then cast Haines a look. "Sir Haines."

"Oh." Haines snapped back to reality, nodding at him. Without making a sound, he leaped his way to the family room, joining the family to wait for Penny.

Meanwhile, Butler Jen waited for Penny until she reached the first floor. Her cheeks blissfully blushed as her eyes curved into a crescent shape.

Whoever dropped these candies surely had tough luck tonight.

Finder’s keepers!

"Miss Penny?"

Penny’s squinting eyes cracked at Butler Jen’s call. "Butler Jen?" she quickly hid the wrappers behind her. "Hehe. I’ve come down."

"Miss Penny, shall I assist you?" he asked, hearing her hum.

"Okay!"

"Alright. This way, please." Butler Jen ushered her to their destination. When he turned, Penny tilted her head to the side.

"Butler Jen, the dining room is over there." She pointed in the other direction, looking at him innocently.

Butler Jen smiled warmly and said, "We prepared it in the family room."

"We?" she tilted her head to the side. "Who is we, Butler Jen?"

Penny immediately assumed it was Butler Jen and Haines. Maybe some servants too? It was still her birthday, after all. Considering all the servants liked her, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they joined too.

Butler Jen faintly sighed. ’She doesn’t even think of her family.’ His heart felt heavy, wondering why she hadn’t asked about her family since she came home from her meeting with Thursday Guy.

It was only natural for Penny to ask about where her parents and brothers were. But she didn’t. She didn’t even show the slightest trace she was curious or interested. This didn’t displease Butler Jen, but more like it reminded him of Penny’s aura when she came into the mansion.

’It’s more like that wall around her when she came here is more heavily fortified now.’ This worried him, since he thought she was slowly lowering her guard the longer she stayed.
