Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607: Fell in love with a lie

Lily’s face brightened as she jumped to where Penny was. "Penny~!"

"Penny!" Ginnie grinned, watching Lily embrace Penny.

"You’re late," Grace remarked playfully before taking another sip of her drink. Nina, on the other hand, smiled in relief as soon as her eyes fell on Penny.

"Finally, you’re here."

Penny chuckled at the warm welcome from her friends. She knew they wouldn’t be angry at her for being late, but she still felt a little bad about it. Even so, Penny apologized, which they dismissed with hugs and cheerful greetings. Once it was over, everyone settled into their seats, with Lily hugging Penny and resting her head on Penny’s shoulder.

"Penny, that guy really wronged me," Lily mumbled dejectedly. "Please stand up for me."

Penny smirked as she glanced at Lily. "Let me know what company he runs. He’s never going to get close to me."

"Really?"

"I don’t want to associate myself with someone like that."

Lily looked up at Penny with teary eyes, hugging her even tighter, and didn’t hesitate to yell the name of her ex’s company. Unlike Nina and Ginnie, who were oblivious to the corporate world, Lily and Grace understood what Penny meant.

Lily and Grace were aware of the Prime Group and its influence. Grace might know more about the internal affairs, but Lily was even more aware of the outside influence Penny had. After Penny established herself in Anteca, people looked at her with much more respect and admiration, which she deserved.

Even if Penny wouldn’t do anything directly to Lily’s ex, her avoidance and disregard for him would be enough to humiliate him. Thus, Lily didn’t waste the chance.

"I’m so glad I have a friend like you who will always protect me," Lily cooed. "Now, I feel better!"

As if moving on from her broken heart was a piece of cake, Lily straightened her back and grinned. Her friends looked at her for a moment, puzzled. But they didn’t dwell on it; seeing Lily happy was much better than watching her cry.

With that, they happily chatted, asking Penny why she was late. Penny simply gave them whatever excuse she could think of. Thankfully, they didn’t press the matter. When another round of drinks was served, Penny just glanced at her drink but didn’t touch it.

Penny arranged this meeting for the drunk Penny. However, after reflecting on the memories of the drunk Penny, she knew it wasn’t safe to let her out at the moment. After all, Penny barely contained her anger and emotions—she managed to do it because of her years of practice in this lifetime.

The drunk Penny didn’t have much of a tolerance.

Smiling, Penny raised her eyes, only to notice the odd look on Nina’s face. She tilted her head and furrowed her brows before she finally spoke.

"Nina, is everything okay?"
