Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Mission success

"Penny!"

"Penny?! Come out! I know you’re there! Come out now while I’m being nice!"

Penny hid behind a long line of bushes in the garden with a sour expression. ’Being nice? I can feel your anger from a mile away!’ she mentally hissed, hugging Chunchun to make sure her cat wouldn’t give away their location.

Penny could’ve run straight to the gates, but she knew Atlas well. The guards would’ve stopped her from going out, and she didn’t want to hurt anyone.

’I just want to go out for some fresh air,’ she mentally wept. ’Why are they even awake at this hour?’

Except for the Bennet children, everyone in the mansion should’ve been sleeping. Ever since Penny returned home, she had gotten used to everyone’s schedule. It wasn’t any different from before, frankly. The only difference was that there were times her brothers came home late, Hugo especially.

Slater often came home past midnight, so it was no surprise he had just arrived. As for Atlas, whenever he came home late, he would head straight to his room. But when Atlas came home early, like today, he would go up to his room after dinner and never come out again.

Why did he come out tonight?

It would have been much better if it was Slater who found her. In that case, she wouldn’t have had a hard time knocking him out, dragging him to his room, and cleaning up all the evidence.

Meow.

Penny’s breath hitched as she lowered her head, hushing Chunchun. She then glanced up, sensing Atlas’s approaching presence.

’Did he hear Chunchun?’ she wondered. ’Or did he not?’

Why was Penny so bad at playing games like this?!

The last time she remembered sneaking out, she was also found! Although at that time, Charles had actually saved a life, and the results were better, this situation was different. She knew Atlas wouldn’t save a life!

Penny pressed her lips into a thin line and looked at Chunchun. She quietly and carefully crawled away from her spot, finding the secret broken fence to get herself out. At this second, Penny didn’t even know why she was looking at the broken fence when she knew she wouldn’t fit through it.

"I think it’s around here..."

"Penny?!"

Penny froze and quickly shrunk into the darkness of the shrub, holding her breath as she caught Atlas looking over the bush at the spot where she had initially hidden.

Atlas looked annoyed now before he walked away. "That girl... she should be banned from all bars and nightclubs. Hugo’s gonna be in trouble."
