Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1417

Chapter 1417: Don’t worry, girl. I got you.

Meanwhile...

Nina carefully sliced the cake, unable to stop herself from glancing at Penny across the counter. Penny watched the cake like a hawk, looking as if she might drool if Nina stalled any longer.

Quickly, Nina placed a slice on a plate and slid it in front of Penny.

"Here," she said. "Eat this first while I get the guys some."

"Huh?" Penny snapped her eyes up, blinking innocently.

"Finn and I don’t really eat sweets that much, so this cake will just sit in the fridge forever." Nina chuckled, winking. "We’d really appreciate it if you helped us finish it."

Penny’s eyes lit up, her mouth stretching into a wide grin. "Sweet! I might start living here to help you with the leftovers. Thanks!"

Without wasting a breath, she picked up a fork and cut a huge portion. Although buying the cake for Nina had been her idea, it looked so cute that she got too excited. It was the last one in the shop, and she had wanted to give the best to Nina. But at the same time, she had also been tempted to taste it.

Sure enough, it was just as delicious as it looked.

As Penny moaned in satisfaction, savoring the first bite, Nina chuckled and continued slicing pieces for Zoren and Finn.

"Ah, this is so good," Penny mumbled, already cutting another mouthful. "I’m going to buy one tomorrow if there’s more available. Uncle Wild and Yugi will love this. Or maybe, I’ll buy more for Mom and Aunt Jessa. First Brother will not like it, so I’m going to buy him one as well. As for Second Brother and Third Brother... they will like this, so they won’t get any."

Nina laughed but said nothing. As she covered the rest of the cake to store it in the fridge, Penny suddenly perked up.

"Right..." Penny cleared her throat, swallowed her bite, and said, "I hired Patricia."

Nina paused, turning back with furrowed brows. "You hired Patricia? As in, Patricia Miller?"

"Uh-huh." Penny nodded. "She’s going to be one of my assistants. I know you’ll say it’s my business, but I still want to know how you feel about it. And don’t worry about sparing my feelings—I’d rather know the truth." _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

"Would you... change your mind if I said I wasn’t comfortable with it?"

Penny tilted her head, briefly looking up as if considering, then nodded. "Of course. You’re my sister."

Nina pursed her lips, pushed the cake into the fridge, then walked toward Penny, leaning against the counter.

Curiosity flickered in Penny’s eyes as she chewed, her gaze locked on Nina. "Are you uncomfortable with it?"

"Penny, if I were uncomfortable, then I would’ve been since you bought the Millers’ company—with Dad and Uncle Haines taking charge." Nina let out a weak chuckle. "I can’t say I’m uncomfortable with this decision. After all, it’s your business, and I know you made it after a lot of consideration."

She smiled, nodding approvingly. "Like you said, I’m your sister. And you’re mine. I trust your judgment."
