Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1523

Chapter 1523: Something must have happened

Meanwhile...

Penny pursed her lips as she peeked up at Zoren, clutching the hem of his shirt to get his attention. When he turned to face her, she fluttered her eyelashes coquettishly.

"Hubby?" she called, her voice small yet sweet. "Are you angry at me?"

His naturally dark eyes appeared even darker, with remnants of anger and worry still lingering in them. "No."

"Really?"

"Mhm." Zoren breathed out and carefully pulled her into a gentle embrace. "Just worried when I heard the news."

Penny pressed her lips tightly and patted his back. "There, there." Then she drew her head back, looking him in the eye. "I’m okay, and this time, I didn’t instigate anything."

She was innocent this time.

"I know." Zoren nodded. "Do you feel anything else?"

"No." Penny shook her head. "But I don’t think we should leave that guy behind, though. I want to take him home."

This time, Zoren frowned. "Why would you take him to our place?"

"No, not to our place! The guest house!" she clarified. "Since Nathaniel left, the guest house has been a little too quiet. Don’t you think it needs a new caretaker? And to make it even better, they have the same name!"

In other words, she wanted to abduct him?

"..." Zoren opened his mouth but decided to shut it instead.

What else could he say at this point?

Clearly, his wife was fine—very fine. Even in this situation, she was thinking of abduction. The two in the front passenger seat—Mark and the driver—couldn’t help but wince a little while listening to her.

Was she kidding them? She just survived what could’ve been a terrible crash, and now she was onto something again!

Another shallow sigh escaped Zoren as he leaned back in his seat, eyes still on her. "Why would you even go to him?"

"Renren, I just have a lot of questions that need answers." She shrugged. "And I’ve been wracking my brain trying to get them — oh, speaking of!"

Penny turned to the driver’s seat. "Please take us to the Prime Group Headquarters, thank you."

"We should go home first," Zoren said, but she shook her head.

"This can wait, but I can’t. I need to show you something."

[PRIME GROUP]

At Prime Group, their bodyguards instinctively took their usual stations while Penny and Zoren entered the penthouse suite.

"Penny, what are you going to show me?" he asked, following her lead into the bedroom.

Penny stopped as soon as she pressed her thumb on the smart lock, glancing back at him when she heard it click. "Just come."

Zoren shrugged and followed, casting her a look as he stepped aside. As he walked in, Penny closed the door behind them and skipped over to the investigation board.

"Ta-da!" Standing beside it, she extended her arms as if presenting something grand. "Look what I did!"

But instead of looking, Zoren kept his eyes on her pose. At this point, he didn’t need to ask if she’d been drinking. He could tell the moment he saw her. The only question was whether it was accidental or intentional.

"..."

I wonder if I should stop her or just let it be...

Ring... ring... ring...
