Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1471

Chapter 1471: Everything about my sister is personal to me

[Try to stop me. Tick is ticking.]

Another wave of laughter echoed through the event hall before the lights finally came back on. As the laughter faded into the background, confusion began to spread among the crowds.

"That guy is going to breach Prime Group’s security system?" someone from the crowd gasped. "And once he does, he’ll spread all the data for the world to see? Oh shoot! That’s insane!"

"This is bad. Very bad."

"Not for us, but for Prime Group and its clientele. It’s going to make headlines for sure."

As the crowd exchanged hushed whispers, the players on the stage looked at one another. Now that the lights were fully on, they could see the shock etched on everyone’s faces. Some paled while others still carried the remnants of their previous intense fight.

And just as they were trying to process everything, a loud voice drew their attention.

"Penelope!" A group of men marched toward Penny from the side of the stage. They stopped in front of her, their faces a mix of disbelief and confusion. "What is the meaning of this?"

"Miss Bennet, please tell us this is all part of the event," another huffed. "There’s no way this is actually happening."

"From what I heard, this ’X’ person is called the Vigilante from the underground," added another sternly. "And if I’m correct, this person has already caused data breaches and leaked information about many people."

"Miss Bennet, this isn’t true, is it?!"

"It can’t be!"

"Please, tell us!"

Penny scanned their faces—anger, panic, confusion. All understandable, since they were holders of Fortress. They would be the first to suffer if their confidential files were leaked. Not that they had anything horrible to hide.

Penny had chosen her clients carefully. Still, a data leak would be damaging. These were people with powerful rivals in both business and politics.

"Miss Bennet!" another voice called out, louder this time. "What in the world is happening?"

"I’m afraid... it’s true," Penny said, remaining calm as she looked each of them in the eye. "It seems this X person has infiltrated the event."

The moment the words left Penny’s lips, the crowd gasped. Many had suspected it might be real, but some were still hoping it was just part of the show—a surprise twist, maybe a bonus round. Something Prime Group had orchestrated. After all, Penny knew how to stir emotions.

But they were wrong.
