Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1188

Chapter 1188: That he has a good explanation for that.

Meanwhile...

Penny lay on the grass, exhausted after fighting all these guys just to fix their brains. How dare they paint her as the bad guy while using their vacations to follow her around? No wonder she had felt like she was being watched in town—she had just found out that they had been taking turns spying on her from a distance.

Now that she was completely drained, they had the audacity to flee after calling her crazy.

"Those shameless guys..." she mumbled, staring at the darkening sky. "How dare they say they were just looking after me and trying to protect my image in front of my husband?"

Not far away, Angel, who was just trying to catch his breath, glared at her. But this time, he didn’t feel the need to bicker.

"Those guys... I’m giving them a round two later. How could they just leave me here all alone?"

Since Penny had been occupied with Angel last, the others had taken the opportunity to flee. It was like they had left Angel as a sacrifice, even shouting that they would live their lives to the fullest while keeping his memory in their hearts.

"Hey," Penny called, giving him a side-eye. "I have a question for you."

"What?"

"Didn’t I send you to protect Renren? So why did you come running to find me before making sure he was fine?"

Angel scrunched up his nose. "You sent me to him to follow his orders. And his orders were that, in case of an emergency, I should save you first before anyone else. Duh."

"Tch." Unlike in Zoren and Mark’s case, Penny merely clicked her tongue and looked away. "I knew he would do that."

"Mark was with him, so I guess it’s fair," Angel pointed out. "Wait—was that your order, or did he just ditch you for your husband?"

"We didn’t all arrive in that place together. We got there separately, and Mark was just following my orders," she explained calmly, her breathing now steady. "I knew Renren would rather leave himself vulnerable to save me, and I was right. You came to my rescue instead of him."

Angel shrugged nonchalantly and collapsed onto his back to rest. Since Penny was already calm, he no longer felt the need to run for his life.

"Anyway, how come you’re here?" she asked after a moment. "As far as I remember, I told you to look after Patricia Miller."

"Did you send me to her just to add more stress to my life? That woman is just... Ugh, I don’t even want to think about her while I’m on vacation." He scrunched up his nose, reminded of the headaches Patricia had given him. If Penny was already demanding, Patricia was on a whole other level. "Don’t worry about her. Mylo didn’t want to come, so I told him to look after her while I’m away."

"Mylo, huh?" Penny hummed thoughtfully, picturing Mylo and Patricia. "Is it really okay to just leave her with him?"
