Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1598

Chapter 1598: Penny, if you’re looking for loyalty, she’s right here!

"In some cases, that approach works. Not everyone with a badge does their job properly. But the detectives involved in this case did a thorough job. Check the report—you’ll see Miss Cassandra Smith had been under surveillance for months before her arrest."

Kiara and Hugo raised their brows before the former reached for the report. They skimmed through it; both were experienced enough to understand what they were reading.

Meanwhile, Grace observed them silently. Seeing that both—Kiara especially—seemed to comprehend the report, she nodded with satisfaction. It saved her the time to explain everything further.

"That’s right," Grace continued. "That’s exactly why the appeal was rejected. Our only option now is to take it to the higher court."

Slowly, Kiara looked up at her. Her eyes shimmered with confusion and concern.

"What do we do?" she asked. "It feels like we’ve run out of grounds for appeal with everything in these files. I don’t want to sound rude, but does this mean we’ll have to wait until her trial is over to get her out of there?"

Grace pressed her lips into a thin line and shrugged. "That’s an option, but there’s another way."

As soon as she said that, the corner of her mouth curled into a knowing smirk. Her brows wiggled with slight mischief. Kiara and Hugo furrowed their brows, puzzled. Even Hugo knew it was probably too late to get Cassandra bailed.

They exchanged confused looks before turning back to Grace. However, the smile on Grace’s face was still there.

[PRIME GROUP]

Knock knock...

Penny looked up to see Patricia peeking her head through the door. The latter smiled, while Penny let out a deep sigh.

"What is it now, Patricia?" Penny asked wearily. "If this is about food, just serve it and leave it on the table. I’m busy."

Patricia bit her lip, her hands clasped behind her back. "Penny."

"What?"

"That picture from yesterday... can I see it again?"

Penny’s brows furrowed. "What picture?"

"The wallet-sized one!" she clarified. "I just want another look."

"No." Penny’s tone was dry. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

"Please?"

"No," she repeated, this time even colder.

"But why not?"

"Because knowing more can sometimes lead to destructive consequences. You, of all people, should understand that," Penny said sharply. "That photo isn’t something you should’ve even seen. You shouldn’t talk about it either. If anything, you should forget it entirely."

She paused. "You’ll thank me later."

Patricia’s smile faded. "But—"

"Patricia, please." Penny lowered her gaze slightly, her eyes sharp. "Don’t bring this up again. I let a lot of things slide, but I’m busy. As my assistant, you should know better than to treat my work lightly."

"Fine..." Patricia sighed, shoulders slumping. As she turned to leave, she glanced back. "Even just a glimpse, Penny. I swear I won’t mention it again."

"No."

’I can’t tell Penny that the woman in the photo slightly resembles our new maid... not when I’m still not sure of it. And not when I don’t know why Penny has that photo.’
