Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222: What’s going on here?

The last week of the school year, the students were only required to go to school for their clearance or whatever they needed to do before the school year ended. Hence, many only came for their clearance or for extra projects to gain some points.

This year, however, was different.

Mostly came in not just for their clearance or their teacher’s mercy, but because they were intrigued to see the result of the ranking. Even though the results would be announced on Tuesday, everyone was already talking about it.

"Penny, did you complete the signature on your clearance?" Lily came to Penny because Penny was the only one who wasn’t running here and there for their teacher’s signatures.

Penny nodded. "Mhm." she already got the headmaster’s signature, and that was enough. After all, Penny would be taking an exam in two weeks.

"Good for you," Lily sighed as she dragged a chair near Penny’s. "Penny, what do you think about the result for tomorrow?"

"The ranking?"

"Mhm."

"Well." Penny shrugged and cupped her face. "I’ll leave it all to fate."

Lily had seen Penny get nervous and in distress during the basketball game. Hence, hearing her say this only showed that Penny was confident Atlas did well.

"Well, you’re right." Lily chuckled. "Let’s all leave it to fate. I mean, I’m sure your brother studied well. Moreover, he earned the unofficial 11th member of the star section without even trying. So, I guess everything will be okay."

Penny smiled, snapping her eyes at the door when she saw Ginnie walk in. "Ginnie, you’re back?"

"Uh, Penny." Ginnie approached them with an indescribable look on her face.

"What’s wrong, Ginnie?" asked Lily. "Is everything okay?"

Ginnie pursed her lips. "Someone’s looking for you, Penny."

"Who?" Penny intuitively gazed at the door, only to see Dean standing outside. Her lips curved down and looked away. "I don’t know him."

"Penny, you don’t..."

"Not interested."

Ginnie and Lily stared at Penny before exchanging looks. That person outside their classroom was the top 1 from the star section. Although they didn’t know what he was doing there, they also knew ignoring him was rude.

Seeing the conflicted look on their faces, a deep sigh escaped Penny.

"Fine," said Penny and wordlessly jumped out of the chair. She approached the entrance, not a bit interested in talking to the guy. All she planned to do was close the door on him so Ginnie and Lily wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

But just as Penny reached for the door, she stopped.

"Congrats," said the guy, smiling at her.

Penny furrowed her brows and cast him a repulsed look. "What are you spewing this time?"

The look on Penny’s face changed. ’He knew I started the betting pool?’
