Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416: It’s humiliating.

Meanwhile, at the Bennet Mansion, the reason Penny hadn’t reached out to Zoren was because...

"Wow..." Penny’s eyes twinkled as she clasped her hands together.

Standing outside the residence with her were Charles and Haines, both smiling happily at her. Their eyes shifted to the sports car that had just stopped in front of them.

"Wow..." Penny repeated in awe.

Slater stepped out of the red sports car, his lips curving upward at the sight of everyone’s impressed faces.

"Hehe." Slater touched the tip of his nose, standing confidently in front of them. When his eyes landed on Penny, he smirked. "Penny, can you see my new car? It’s amazing, isn’t it?"

"Oh, my goodness..." Penny covered her mouth, her eyes almost teary.

Slater shook his head at his sister’s expression. "I know you want to drive it, but it’s brand new. How about I take you for a ride? Maybe I’ll change my mind and let you..."

Vroom!

Slater trailed off at the sound of another engine approaching. His eyes shifted toward the noise, landing on a big black motorbike pulling up in front of them.

"Wow!" Penny exclaimed as she rushed to the motorbike, where Hugo was taking off his helmet. Haines and Charles followed, smiling at Penny’s excitement.

"It came early!" she beamed, looking at Hugo, only to see him jerk his chin toward their father. Penny turned to Charles, her excitement uncontainable, and hugged him. "Papa! Thank you so much! I thought it would take months to arrive!"

The proud grin on Slater’s face vanished. He pointed a thumb over his shoulder at his flashy sports car, opening and closing his mouth in disbelief. He had thought they were all there to admire his new car.

Who would have thought they were waiting for a mere motorbike?

Slater scrunched up his nose and huffed. "Penny! How can you ignore my new car over some motorcycle?!" He pointed a finger at them, interrupting the small celebration his family was having.

Still clinging to Charles, Penny turned her head toward Slater. Haines’s smile slightly stiffened, and Hugo tilted his head at his brother.

"Slater, what are you going on about now?" Charles frowned at his third son, who was once again throwing a tantrum.

Penny slowly released her father as they all faced Slater. "That’s your car?"

"Yes!" Slater jumped to the side, grinning proudly, giving them a better view of his car. "What do you think?"

"Wow..." Penny clapped halfheartedly. "That’s a pretty car, Third Brother."

Hugo nodded, his expression neutral. "Nice car, Slater."

’That’s a new car?’ Haines thought, unsure if Slater already had one like it or if it just looked the same.

"Slater, that is a super, duper, mega, hyper... great!" Charles exaggerated, emphasizing each word to hype Slater up while nodding in approval. "Good job, son. You never cease to make your father proud. Anyway, Penny, you should also thank your First Brother for this."

Slater’s proud expression froze as Charles continued talking to Penny. When Slater looked at Hugo, he was already focused back on Penny. He then glanced at Haines, who offered him an apologetic smile before returning his attention to Penny.

"Hah!" Slater gasped, placing a hand over his chest. He glanced at his new car, remembering how excited he’d been to show it off. Yet, their attention was all on that motorbike!

"I got this car so she could use my other one," Slater muttered, crossing his arms as he stared at his sports car. "They’re really heartless when it comes to me. I’m not going to talk to them."

He raised a brow and glanced back at his family. "I’m not talking to anyone!" he yelled, but they continued their conversation. "I’m really hurt! My feelings are hurt!"

"Oh, that’s why..." Penny nodded with a smile. "Well, I’ll thank First Brother for putting a priority order on my motor shipments. Still, thanks, Dad, for contacting your friend at customs."

"Let’s just head to Mama’s." Charles cleared his throat, raising a fist to his lips. "Slater, bring your car and show it to your mother." He was certain Allison would stroke Slater’s ego.
