Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Thinking of its survival

The twins and Penny nonverbally agreed not to talk about the little incident, thinking it was not important. It was a passing event they would eventually forget.

Jessa made a fuss about her purchases but didn’t dwell on it so much. So, after a long day, their day together came to an end.

"Penny, today is fun. Let’s do this again sometime!" Yuri enthusiastically remarked.

"Your birthday is in a week. How about we go then? Mom has to cancel our trip, but I think she can book it again. She said she has plenty of money." Yugi didn’t hold back despite Butler Jen and Hugo being present, who knew where his mother got the money. "We’ll have a lot more fun together!"

Penny smiled at the two, reminded that she would be officially thirteen in a week. But with the current situation, she couldn’t easily agree. "I don’t know about that yet..."

"Penny, don’t worry about that as well," Jessa spoke, and again, Penny looked up at her auntie with doubt.

Jessa kept saying not to worry, but the effect of Penny every time was the opposite.

"We can always celebrate your birthday on other days. Fufufu~!" Jessa laughed evilly with the back of her hand covering the corner of her mouth.

Anyone would be worried about that gesture.

Hugo, who was standing behind Penny, couldn’t help but lower his eyes at his sister. ’Right... Nina’s birthday is in a week. That means it’s also Penny’s birthday.’

Hugo felt bitter that this hadn’t crossed him yet.

"Auntie..." Penny sighed in defeat. "You’re scary."

Jessa laughed even more. "Niece, don’t be scared of me. Some should, though. Hah!"

"..."

"Anyway, take care on your way back." Jessa recomposed herself, specifically shifting her eyes to Butler Jen. "And you better take good care of her. If you don’t, you’re the first person I’ll rip apart!"

Penny choked at the bold warning Jessa spewed at Butler Jen. "Auntie!"

Butler Jen didn’t mind, though. "Yes, Mrs. Cortez. I’ll keep that in mind."

"Hmph!" Jessa raised her chin and arched a brow at Hugo.

Hugo intuitively straightened his back as his shoulders tensed up. She assessed him from head to toe, furrowing her brows at the little toad on top of his head, but then looked away.

"Anyway, it’s getting late. You should head back." Jessa shooed them away. "Niece, don’t miss us so much, okay? I’ll be sending you some home-cooked side dishes and foods soon."

At the mention of food, Penny’s eyes twinkled. The food in the Bennet Mansion might be delicious and prepared by the family chef and dietician, but nothing beats home-cooked foods! _{freewebnøvel.com}

"Very well." Butler Jen cleared his throat. "I’ll get you a cab first —"

Jessa waved dismissively and cut him off with, "There’s no need for that. My husband is already on his way to pick us up. We have a car, you know?"

"You do?" Penny blurted out, only to realize the money Jessa got for sending her away was enough to buy at least four brand-new cars, fully paid.

"I see." Butler Jen nodded and walked a step. "Then, I will leave these..."

Again, Butler Jen trailed off because Jessa waved her hand vigorously. His brows rose, confused. He and Hugo were still carrying the boxes of Jessa’s purchases.

"Those boxes are for my niece." Jessa pointed at the boxes in their arms. "They’re my gifts to her. The one on the top is yours."

"For me?" Butler Jen repeated, a little doubtful if he heard her correctly.

Jessa nodded and cast Hugo a quick look. "I also got you something. You might look like a little delinquent, but be grateful you’re Penny’s brother. Don’t bully her or I’ll show you what a real delinquent is!"

Little... delinquent?

Penny, Butler Jen, and Hugo looked at Jessa blankly.
