Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224: A new plan is born

The new ranking of the star section was a shock to everyone because they thought only one between Atlas and Theo could get in. Others even thought neither of them could enter. However, since the rank one was leaving the school, one of them would surely get in.

Shortly after, the news that Finn deliberately scored low on the final exam was because he didn’t want to be in the star section anymore. With this, everyone believed Theo got in by luck or mercy. Theo’s score was, after all, very far from the ninth place.

As for Penny, she didn’t care about all of this at all.

Instead, she focused on rearranging her thoughts. Which explained why she locked herself in her room as soon as she came home.

"This is not okay," she told herself, shaking her head. "I thought I’ve been living carelessly, but I’m living more carelessly than I thought."

Penny took out a notebook from her drawer and started penning everything she could remember from her previous life.

She wouldn’t probably think of this if the incident involving Grace hadn’t happened. But now that this happened to Atlas, Penny was quick to recall everything. Even the memories she had to bury so they wouldn’t hurt her, she had to remember all of them.

Her discovery today alarmed her.

Grace’s story didn’t match the truth that she discovered. According to Grace, her mother left her in the hands of a monster. Because of this, her twisted life spiraled out of control, eventually involving her in the crime world.

In truth, Grace’s mother didn’t leave. What happened to Grace’s mother was horrible, and Penny knew no one would ever find out about the truth in her previous lifetime.

Although it wasn’t as gruesome as this, Atlas’s situation was the same.

In her previous life, Atlas got into the star section out of the blue. He didn’t challenge the star section. Hence, the news of him getting into the star section was a shock to everyone. But if Penny missed the detail of the rank 1 leaving, then no wonder Atlas got into the star section.

"But because there’s a challenge this time, this gave everyone the idea that there might be a change in the star section. As a result, Finn, the rank 10th, who seemed to have a sadistic side, came into play," she murmured. "But if someone like him was in the star section when Atlas got into it, I can only imagine the harassment Atlas had to endure."

Atlas wasn’t the type to show emotion or say everything he had in mind. However, compared to now and compared to before, he changed a lot. Not just on how he was treating her, but he was more relaxed now. Even when Atlas was burying himself in his study, he looked calmer.

"Back then, his temper was crazy," she muttered. "Is it because of the star students?"

If Atlas got into that "prestigious" section just because someone left their spot empty, then one could already imagine Atlas had to prove himself to everyone that he deserved the seat by default.

"But that’s not what’s important." Penny shook her head.

What happened in the past already happened, and the present was different. Atlas was able to surpass the other star student section. Therefore, he didn’t need to prove himself. The person who took his spot was, unfortunately, Theo Miller.

That was a minus of Penny’s worries.
