Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425: Let’s eat more later.

Minutes earlier...

"Ack—" the unsuspecting bodyguard flinched when someone suddenly appeared behind him. But before he could say anything, a sharp pain struck between his shoulder and neck, and his vision dimmed.

Thud.

"Oopsie." Penny covered her lips, instinctively catching the man before lowering her arm and letting him drop to the floor.

As the bodyguard’s unconscious body hit the ground mildly, Renny approached, mouth open, but stopped when Penny whistled.

"Psst!" Penny clicked her tongue three times to get the panther’s attention. She raised a finger and shook it from side to side. "No biting. He hasn’t done anything bad to us."

Renny’s ears drooped a little, thinking, ’But you said it was time to have fun, Mom!’

Penny leaned against the wall and tilted her head to check if anyone else was nearby. Seeing no one, her lips stretched into a grin. She turned back to Renny, still smiling.

"Blacky, let’s go!" she urged, sprinting toward the unguarded back door. "No one is around — come!"

When they reached the back door of the residence, Penny looked around like a mischievous thief. Pleased that she hadn’t been caught yet, she cast Renny a quick glance.

"Quiet," she whispered, her fingers in front of her grinning mouth. "Okay?"

Renny didn’t make a sound and he just watched as Penny reached for the knob. Her grin widened as she twisted it, delighted to find it wasn’t locked. Carefully, she pushed the door open.

It creaked ever so slowly. Perhaps even louder than it should.

Just when Penny and Renny thought everything was going smoothly, they realized they were wrong. The moment Penny opened the door, there were at least seven men eating inside. She had stumbled into a separate dirty kitchen where some of the bodyguards, who were supposed to take the night shift, were enjoying a well-deserved break.

They were all eating.

When the door opened, they instinctively turned toward it, some still holding their spoons halfway to their mouths. Deep lines formed between their brows as they stared at Penny, assessing her from head to toe.

"What is she doing here...?" someone murmured under his breath, knowing Penny hadn’t been at the residence tonight.

But alas, while they were confused by Penny’s sudden appearance, Penny mistook this for being caught.

"Hi." Penny raised a hand, smiling. "Good evening. Go on, continue eating. Just passing by — hehehe."

She reached for the knob to close the door. However, just as she was halfway there, one of the guards spoke up.

"Hey!" he called, approaching Penny to see if she was alright. "Are you ok—"

But alas...

Sensing his approach, a dangerous glint flickered across her eyes. It made all the alarm bells in her head whir. When the bodyguard reached out, she swiftly grabbed his arm, catching him off guard. She flipped him over her shoulder, slamming him onto the floor.

Clang!
