Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Got my back?

The main reason Penny wanted to see Jessa was because she thought her aunt returned to her bad habits. When Penny was in the Cortez household, Jessa had always had an itch to gamble. But with Penny’s activities and contests, her mahjong nights turned from daily to a few times a week to once a week until it became once a month.

Penny was no longer in the household and nothing could keep Jessa busy any longer. The chances of Jessa going back to her bad habits were high, and that was why she was harassing the Bennets. But Penny realized she might be wrong.

Looking at the pretty bento box Jessa prepared for Penny and the twins, Penny was astonished. Everything looked pretty and tasty. Everything was indeed their favorite.

Jessa didn’t like cooking much, but Penny couldn’t deny Jessa had this innate talent in the kitchen. Penny wouldn’t be this big if not.

"Penny, these are your favorites!" Yuri eagerly waited for Penny’s reaction. Not just her, but Yugi and Jessa as well. She then pointed at one dish. "We helped mom with this."

Penny slowly raised her head and scanned their faces with mixed expressions. After a second, she curled up her lips until her teeth were on full display.

"These look tasty, Auntie!" she excitedly exclaimed, making Jessa nod in arrogance.

"Of course! I made them myself and the twins helped a bit!" Jessa gloated before she quickly urged. "Come on, kids. Try them while they’re still hot!"

The three nodded and hummed in unison. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

Having said that, Jessa happily watched the three of them eat. Their twinkling eyes filled her with so much fulfillment and their eagerness to eat more reminded her of the good times. Jessa disliked staying in the kitchen, but these kids were so pitiful if she didn’t feed them. Moreover, the three of them appreciate everything she served them. Hence, she somehow found spending a bit of time in the kitchen quite enjoyable.

"This is so good..." Penny mumbled while chewing and snuck a look at Jessa.

Seeing her auntie’s mild reaction, her stiff shoulders relaxed. Penny was glad she was wrong about Jessa returning to her bad habits. Even so, why was Jessa harassing the Bennets?

Butler Jen and Hugo, who were just around the food court, watched this unfold.

Halfway through the meal, there were more talks than eating as if they were stalling.

"Penny, is someone bullying you in that rich household?" Yugi’s face was serious. "Tell me and I will teach him a lesson."

Penny immediately thought of Slater.

Yuri’s eyes also burned with sternness. "Penny, you should teach them a lesson if they do. Don’t let them make you a pushover."

"That’s right." Yugi nodded. "Don’t worry. Even if they kick you out, our house is always open for you and we’ll have fun together like always."

Penny’s heart warmed up at their words, darting her eyes between the two. Recalling how vicious they were in the past, she felt proud of how these two changed. She couldn’t help but mentally pat her back for a job well done.

"Yugi is right, Penny." Jessa quickly shifted from her spot to Penny’s side. "But niece, don’t worry. I got your back. You don’t have to worry about anything because this great aunt already has a plan."

Penny looked up at Jessa and cocked her head to the side. Her round eyes blinked with innocence as she muttered, "Got my back?"

"Hehe. Mom is telling the Bennets to send away that brat!" Yugi revealed, making Penny’s brows knit.

To avoid misunderstanding, Yuri also added, "We’re afraid that she’ll mark her territory and give you a hard time. So, it’s better if she’s out of the way. Mom will get her out of the way."

"Sure thing I will! I can’t believe the Bennets are keeping that wench’s child." Jessa’s face turned sour, still in disbelief at the couple’s greediness. "They already got their real child, but they still want to keep the other child lingering. So inconsiderate!"

So that was the reason Jessa was harassing her parents.

Penny’s face contorted. She was moved, but at the same time, they sounded like villains, concocting some evil plans to take away Cinderella’s shine.

Why would Jessa want to take Nina, though?

Was it actually for her? Or did she want more money?

Penny frowned a bit at the thought. "Auntie, Nina is okay, and my parents really cherished her."
