Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350: Do not disturb

"Second Brother? What are you doing here?"

Penny slowly rose from her seat as she watched Hugo march in. Hugo brought out a bouquet from behind his back, making her smile from ear to ear.

"For you," he said. "Congratulations on your first day of operations."

She accepted the flowers with a smile. "Thank you, but I don’t like flowers," she said as she gazed down at the bouquet. "Peonies?"

Did people think she liked peonies just because her name almost sounded the same?

"I know you don’t like flowers, but have you forgotten what you used to call us?" Hugo teased, raising his brows meaningfully. Seeing the confused look on her face, he laughed. "The fan club."

"Oh?" Penny’s mouth fell open. "Right."

"Dad really put his mind and heart into it, remember?"

"Haha, that was so long ago, and it almost slipped my mind," she chuckled before perking up. "Right. Take a seat. Sorry. I just had a lot of things to do, so today’s a little busy."

"It’s alright," Hugo said as he sat down on the couch, snapping his eyes to her. "Penny, did you forget our plans today?"

"Hmm?"

"The bachelor’s party!" Hugo reminded her. "I told everyone you were coming, so they’re gonna expect you."

"Oh..." Her mouth formed an "o" shape as she nodded in understanding. "Right, I agreed to that."

"Ginnie will come because she heard that you were coming," Hugo added in a knowing tone. "Don’t worry. The bachelor’s party is safe—no one ordered a gigantic cake where a stripper will come out of it. I specifically asked them not to do that."

"Second Brother, is this party yours?"

"Huh?"

"From what I heard, it sounds like it’s yours. I mean, how come you made all the decisions here?"

Because Hugo meddled with the original date of the bachelor’s party, he had to compensate.

"My friends just rely on me a lot, and they told me they simply want me to experience something like this. After all, they’re scared for my life when I’m on duty," he explained confidently with a smile. "I have good friends, Penny. They appreciate what I do for this country."

Why did that entire explanation sound like a delusion?

Penny assessed her second brother before she sighed.

"Why, Penny?" asked Hugo, making her lift her eyes up at him again. "Don’t you want to go anymore?"

"No, it’s not like that," she smiled wryly. "It’s just that... it’s Thursday today."

"Oh."

Penny didn’t need to explain more to Hugo when she mentioned Thursday. After all, Hugo had heard about it that night from her before they even rushed to the Skyline Plaza.

"Are you worried he would be there?" he asked, and Penny shook her head. "If he’s not going to wait in that meeting spot, why are you wearing such a face?"

Penny pursed her lips and breathed out sharply. "Because he invited that fake Thursday Girl to his home."

"I can." But he would probably have to detain them somewhere else illegally.
