Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545: “... didn’t you say you know T. Mouse?”

Mr. Ito almost jumped back the moment he recognized the stunning woman beside him. His eyes widened as he watched Penny straighten her back, a beautiful smile gracing her face. For a moment, he had to question himself if the person he was looking at the moment was even the person he had been wishing to meet for a long time.

"It’s been a while, Mr. Ito," she said, her voice akin to a melody created by angels. "I didn’t expect to bump into you tonight. How are you? You seem to be doing well, considering... you have a lot of energy to chat."

Everyone furrowed their brows as their gaze fell on the beautiful woman standing near Mr. Ito. Some men couldn’t help but part their lips, mesmerized by her beauty. She wore a simple long dress with lace sleeves that reached her wrists, showing barely any skin, yet all the men couldn’t take their eyes off her stunning appearance.

"Wow..." Theo whispered, his eyes sparkling as he wondered who she was, what her name was, and whether she was single.

It wasn’t just Theo who had these thoughts. Even those who already had their dates found themselves curious. Tonight’s event wasn’t filled with superstars and celebrities, but many of the attendees knew celebrities personally. However, the woman standing at the center simply mesmerized them.

"What are you doing here?" Sven, who was displeased by everything unfolding, blurted out. He turned to Atlas and sighed. "Cousin, you know Ito Motors would be here tonight. It’s bad enough that we’re meeting under these circumstances and that Mr. Ito was disrespected, but for you to invite Penny here—when she’s the person who ruined everything—is rubbing salt in the wound!"

"Huh?" Theo furrowed his brows as he turned to Sven. "Did you just say... Penny?"

He then shifted his gaze to the beautiful woman before him, recalling the image of Penny in his mind. All he could remember was a little piglet with a strange and unattractive style. As far as he could remember, he had seen her not long ago—when she was still in her mid-teens.

’Wasn’t she still fat then?’ Theo wondered, the lines between his brows deepening. ’How did she become this beautiful without all that fat?!’

Strange regret and bitterness swelled in Theo’s heart. All this time, he had believed it would be Nina who would grow into a fine lady. After all, Nina had a gentle beauty that could melt a man’s heart.

But Penny...

"She’s like a goddess..." someone in the crowd commented in a daze.

"That’s Atlas’s sister? Wow. She’s so pretty."

"I thought for a second she was a celebrity."

"So pretty... but I heard she married a nobody."

"What?"

"Oh, right? The marriage between the Ito Family and the Bennet Family. Oh! That’s her?"

"Tsk tsk. That’s... a shame. She ruined her future so young."
