Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394: Him over my solitude

[PRIME GROUP]

When Penny arrived in her office, she quickly stopped by the door as she caught a person idling in the corner. Sliding her eyes to the figure, her gaze met Hugo’s.

"Second Brother," she called with a slight smile, closing the door behind her. "About last night..."

"You slept at his place?" he asked before she could change the subject.

Penny cleared her throat, marching inside, sensing it would be a long morning. "Yes," she answered, placing the new empty handbag Benjamin had gotten for her on the desk. "That’s where I spent the night."

"Anything else you want to share?"

’You don’t want me to tell you what I did this morning with Zoren, do you?’ she wondered, propping herself against the edge of the desk. Penny crossed her arms, locking eyes with him. "There’s nothing else to share since nothing else happened, except him fainting from fatigue. However, I do have a few questions for you."

Hugo studied her demeanor and shook his head. There was nothing he thought his sister had done. After all, Hugo had a good impression of Zoren, especially after that night of Zoren and Penny’s first date.

He shrugged, walking on the same spot to face her. Now, Penny leaned against the desk while Hugo stood in the corner with a book in his hand.

"Shoot," he said. "What do you want to know about last night?"

"What happened last night?" she asked directly.

Hugo lowered his head, meeting her gaze. "Can I lie?"

"I’d know if it’s a lie," she replied calmly but firmly. "The guy you were grappling with... wasn’t he the driver we hired last night to take us home?"

"So you did recognize him?"

"Second Brother, I was a little tipsy last night and maybe a little out of it, but my memory is clear," Penny smirked. "Though I didn’t recognize his face because of how badly beaten he was, I did recognize the tattoo on his arm."

Hugo took a deep breath, raising his chin. "My little sister is sharp."

"I run a security firm," she reminded him. "Though I’m not required to, it doesn’t hurt to have an extra skill."

Thanks to her past life, Penny had a strong foundation in almost everything. While there were many downsides to her desire to please her brothers, there was some good in it. For example, Penny had learned skills like martial arts, which also helped her get along with Hugo.

Penny and Hugo already had a shared interest in animals. However, as she said, it wouldn’t hurt to keep and hone the skill she had learned so painstakingly in her previous life.

"Who is he?" she asked again, her gaze sharp. "And what does he want?"

Hugo stared at his sister, chuckling as he recalled her visits to the base. "Still investigating," he casually said, moving to the couch. "I may have roughed him up too much, so it’ll take a while before he starts talking. However, we’ve already learned about the gang he’s part of."

"Who was his target?" she asked. "Was it you? Or me?" _{freewёbnoνel.com}
