Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1129

Chapter 1129: Worst luck

"They’re gonna kill you."

Penny halted as her brows twitched up slightly. The corner of her mouth lifted a little, and the relaxed air around her gradually changed as she faced Mint.

"That’s one way to get my attention," she said, holding the railing as she leaned against it.

Mint, on the other hand, simply observed the change in the air around Penny. Earlier, Penny had been tamed—one might wonder if she was truly the woman everyone was talking about.

"Now, that’s Penelope," Mint smiled in satisfaction, walking over to Penny’s side. "For a moment, I thought the stories I heard about Penelope Bennet were overexaggerations. But I guess you simply knew how to enjoy a vacation." _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

"That’s one way to put it," Penny replied. "If you come to me as Benjamin’s cousin, I’ll treat you as one. However, if you come to me for business, you’ll get business. Now, what you said... is that just to get my attention?"

"Well." Mint shrugged. "Partly, maybe."

She paused, and the smile on her face brightened. "My proposal to you still stands, and I’m dead serious about it. I’d make you my wife if I get the chance, but I’ll put that off for later. I don’t think it’s fair to make a move on you when my rival isn’t here."

"What I said was to get your attention, but also because I need your help with something," she continued solemnly. "I’ve heard a lot about the Prime Group, and to be honest, many people aren’t happy with your company. Particularly, the Secret Service."

"I’m aware," Penny nodded. "Would they kill me because their clients trust my services more?"

"Haha. That’s a bit... well, I don’t think they’ve crossed that line," Mint chuckled. "I guess you’re also aware they won’t do that."

"There are so many things people have to handle for them to waste time on a businesswoman like myself. After all, it’s not me who goes out there and speaks about any movement or bill they want to pass."

"That’s correct, but..." Mint trailed off, studying the sharp look on Penny’s face. "There are people who don’t think Doctor Penelope is a waste of time."

Penny arched a brow and tilted her head slightly. "And here I thought it was our first time meeting, but it seems you’ve done your homework."

"I always look into people around my Beanie."

"I hope Benjamin doesn’t mind that."

"He wouldn’t mind if he doesn’t know." Mint shrugged, casually resting her arms on the railing. "As you already know, the Vitt family has always pursued serving the government. Although my reason isn’t about family, but something more personal, my cutest cousin used to dream of being part of the government. He used to want to become a politician."

Penny was a bit surprised by this, but not surprised enough to indulge in it. "And what does that have to do with my life?"

"Haha." Mint chuckled, shaking her head slightly. "God... I’m falling for her more and more. Help me."

"..."

"Well, on a serious note, I initially disliked Zoren Pierson for changing my cute Ben-Ben’s goal in life. Ben used to dislike him, but after a while, Zoren managed to change Benjamin’s goal. What I’m saying is, I initially didn’t approve of it. However, after being part of the police force, I realized Benjamin is better off as an assistant," she continued, her eyes on the group who still hadn’t started the fire. "It’s a dangerous line."
