Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Blind

Letting go of Zoren Pierson for today shouldn’t be a problem. After all, Penny already had some information about him. There were still chances of meeting him, and if there were no chances, she would make one for herself.

"Penny?"

"Huh?" Penny snapped out of her trance and turned to the front-row seat.

Nina smiled awkwardly and said, "We already drove past Auntie’s and Mom’s restaurant."

"Oh." Penny’s lips formed an "o" shape and refocused her attention on the road. "Right. Sorry."

As Penny slowed down to make a turn for another several-minute drive, Nina studied her.

"Penny, is everything okay?" Nina asked worriedly. "You seemed distracted."

"Yes, I’m okay. Just a lot of things on my mind."

"Are you sure?"

Penny cast her a sidelong glance when she was back in the proper lane. ’No, actually,’ was what she wanted to say.

It would be nice if Nina could remember which family she married into in her previous life. If only Nina could, Penny would’ve confirmed her theory, but there was no way Nina could do that. It only made Penny a little bitter for not trying to know which family Nina married in their previous life.

"Mhm, I’m sure," Penny hummed. "I just had a lot of things to deal with at work and some family matters."

"Are the elders still pressuring you to marry?"

"No."

Nina raised her brows. "Really?"

"Told you. I’ve got it." Penny winked at Nina, making the latter chuckle.

"You’re amazing," Nina commented. "Once I add the Prime Group office to my portfolio, I’m going to make it big."

Penny chuckled. "You think too highly of Prime Group."

"Penny, you’re the only person I’ve met who doesn’t want to bask in the glory of their achievements," Nina complained quietly. "If only you let everyone know you’re the boss of the leading security firm, I don’t think the elders would even look down on you."

"They wouldn’t look down on me, but they’d surely bother me. I’d rather choose the former." Penny shrugged. "Besides, it’s better to surround yourself with people who respect you for who you are, rather than those who are only kind to you because of what you have."

Nina’s smile softened as she looked at Penny. "You really haven’t changed, have you?"

"Hmm?"

"Still as decisive and unbothered as ever," Nina remarked. "It must be nice to live without caring about other people’s opinions."

If only Nina knew...

’I lived an entire life listening to other people’s opinions except mine,’ Penny thought. ’It took me an entire lifetime to listen to myself and prioritize myself first before anyone else.’

Penny kept her thoughts to herself and gave Nina a brief smile. "Is Aunt Jessa still the same?"

"Hehe." Nina’s smile cracked. "Worse. Especially when she’s in the kitchen, but that’s just how she molds the chefs under her. Tough love, as she says."

"Haha."

Meanwhile...
