Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 758

Chapter 758: Up to something interesting

[PRIME GROUP: CEO’S OFFICE]

"Penny—" Yugi stopped as soon as he opened the door, only to be greeted by a thick wave of silence. When his eyes landed on the person behind the desk, he furrowed his brows.

"Uhh... Penny?" he called. "Is this a good time?"

But Penny didn’t answer. She just sat in her spot, holding her hands in front of her face, deep in thought. It didn’t even seem like she knew he was there, though he doubted that. Penny might have looked mentally absent, but there was no way she didn’t know Yugi was there.

Her lack of response only meant she was busy thinking about something. Hence, she ignored him to avoid being distracted.

"I guess now’s not a good time," Yugi shrugged. "Penny, I’ll send you a soft copy of some files. I’ll come back when you’re not planning to ignore me anymore."

Having said that, Yugi lingered for a bit before he eventually closed the door. He wasn’t even surprised Penny didn’t react. He was used to it.

"The last time I remember her being like that was when we were working on the security software and hit a dead end," he muttered, glancing at the shut door. "I wonder what her dilemma is now?"

[Back in the CEO’s office]

Penny remained in the same spot. Her reaction was still the same: confused and... thrilled. Before entering the lift, Zoren had asked for her help and told her to call him back once she was in her office.

When she called him back, Zoren told her what had happened. He particularly focused on the events at the Old Residence and Jonathan Pierson, who claimed to be Zoren’s father’s illegitimate son.

"So, he showed up?" she murmured, narrowing her eyes suspiciously. "I didn’t think he would show up this soon."

But then again, it shouldn’t have been a surprise at all—it should’ve been obvious. Even so, she still felt surprised, whether she wanted to or not.

’From my previous life, he is William Pierson’s son, and he married Nina. In this life, he made it seem like he’s Zoren’s brother.’ She tilted her head to the side. ’What is that guy doing in this lifetime?’

Questions like what he wanted didn’t dare cross her mind anymore. Whatever Jonathan wanted or whatever his goal was in this lifetime, she knew it wasn’t good.

"Above all..." she trailed off, her lips curving down. "Grandma Pierson."
