Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: Hello?

[Bennet Mansion]

"Sir Atlas?" Butler Jen paused in the living area when he saw Atlas seated on the couch alone.

Atlas lifted his eyes to Butler Jen, noticing that the butler was already in his pajamas, wearing a strange nightcap on his head. Out of courtesy, he didn’t ask about it, knowing Butler Jen’s hair had been thinning, his scalp visible even from a distance.

"Did Penny say she would come home?" Atlas asked calmly. "She told me she’d be home a little later, but it’s already..."

Atlas trailed off as he glanced at his wristwatch. "It’s already two in the morning. No word from her."

"Ahh..." Butler Jen nodded. He glanced at the closed entrance, furrowing his brows. "Well."

"Do you think something happened to her?" Atlas wondered.

"First Young Master, that’s a bit much. Something probably came up. She’s been busy the past few days," Butler Jen replied with a dry laugh. "Why don’t you rest first, First Young Master? I can wait for Miss Penny."

Atlas shook his head. "Thank you, but you’re also tired, Butler Jen. I’ll wait for her to come."

"But, Young Master Atlas, what if Miss Penelope already slept somewhere?"

"And where would that be?"

"In... in a hotel?"

"The mansion isn’t that far, and if she did, she would’ve told us."

Butler Jen pursed his lips worriedly. Now, he was concerned as well. Not that he believed something had happened to her, but this was out of character for Penny. If she couldn’t make it home, she would’ve made a short call or informed someone in the house.

Penny didn’t like worrying her family, after all.

As the silence settled between the two, they heard a car engine outside. Both of them turned toward the entrance, waiting for someone to come in.

"I’ll get the door," Butler Jen said, hurrying to the entrance. As soon as he opened the door, the person outside flinched in surprise.

"Butler Jen?" Slater gasped mildly, placing a hand on his chest. "Goodness, Butler Jen, it’s already past midnight. Don’t tell me you got up to open the door for me?"

Slater’s eyes softened, touched by his quick assumption. "Butler Jen, you didn’t have to do that. I’m a big guy now, though I know you’re too fond of me."

"Young Master Slater," Butler Jen smiled before looking back at Atlas. The second his eyes met Atlas’s, the latter shook his head and leaned back.

"I’m going to call her again, but if she doesn’t answer, I’m calling the police," Atlas said casually, taking out his phone.

It wasn’t like Penny had a curfew. She was old enough to stay out and capable enough to run her own company. Even so, as her big brothers, they were worried because she hadn’t told them she wouldn’t be coming home.

While Atlas tried to reach her phone, Slater furrowed his brows.

Atlas didn’t pay him any attention, while Slater and Butler Jen gazed in his direction. This time, Slater summarized the situation. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

’Please, Miss Penny! Answer the phone if you’re safe!’ Butler Jen prayed fervently. ’If you don’t, I’m afraid your brothers will turn Anteca upside down just to find out where you are!’
