Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1288

Chapter 1288: Next time, hire a private investigator

Meanwhile...

"Huh?" Penny furrowed her brows, watching Jonathan enter a gift shop a few blocks from them. "What is he doing in there? Buying what? Drugs? Organs?"

Dean glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "Seriously?"

"What? Don’t tell me he’s in a gift shop for something innocent?"

"Don’t judge," Atlas remarked, keeping watch on the establishment. "Though we should remember that place in case it’s a hideout for criminals."

Talk about not being judgmental.

Dean shook his head mildly and just ignored the siblings. "You guys... why don’t you just get out of here now, huh?" he muttered. "Why are you even interested in him?"

"He’s my husband’s half-brother, which makes me his in-law, and your aunt," Penny spat back. "Of course, I am interested."

"..." Dean kept his eyes narrowed before he secretly took a peek at her through the rearview mirror.

"This is strange..." Penny trailed off when her phone suddenly vibrated. She pulled it out without taking her eyes off the establishment, her mind filled with curiosity. However, when she glanced down at her phone, she gasped in shock.

"What is it?" Atlas asked, watching his sister, her face plastered with horror.

"I forgot I told Renren I was going to pick him up."

"..." Atlas blinked and then blinked some more. "Let me call him."

"It’s alright. I’ll send him a message." Penny waved dismissively, leaning back as she typed a lengthy message to her husband.

[To: My love, my life

Renren, OMG! I am so, so sorry! First Brother and I were in the parking lot earlier, but then he had a lot of things to do. When we were supposed to be inside, we suddenly heard Jonathan’s voice. So, he ended up hiding and pushing me inside Dean’s car! And then Dean just drove us away!]

Penny quickly sent the message before lifting her eyes to the driver’s seat. At the same time, Dean looked back at her.

"What did you tell my uncle?" he asked, feeling like he might end up in trouble.

"Nothing." Penny shook her head with a smile. "Just told him the truth."

Dean opened his mouth but then shut it when he saw Jonathan coming out of the gift shop. He quickly averted his attention to the establishment, only to see Jonathan holding huge shopping bags, with a few more being carried by a shop assistant.

Penny, on the other hand, focused on her phone as Zoren responded.

[From: My love, my life

Are you safe?]

"Hehe." She giggled before reassuring him that she was safe.

[To: My love, my life

Don’t worry~ I’m with First Brother. If Dean is going to sell someone first, it would be him.]

Penny, who had just finished messaging her husband, perked up as well. "Why did he need to buy so many toys? Does he have a secret son?" _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
