Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 772

Chapter 772: He had lost count

"Can’t you see? I’m throwing trash. Why don’t you help? I really need a hand here." _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

Some gasped while others just stared at Penny in horror. They understood that some people were naturally bold and adventurous, while others simply believed they had nine lives to spare.

They believed Penny was the latter.

Surely, newcomers like her thought too lightly of the Pierson family hierarchy. If Dean was another distant relative, there wouldn’t be a problem. But Dean—he was from the first branch of the family!

’This brat! What is she doing?!’ Mildred clasped her chest, afraid she might have a heart attack because of Penny. ’All these years protecting everyone who enters the family... and she’s going to ruin herself with one stupid move!’

Those in Penny’s group shook their heads, with the guy (who had lied to his mother) making a chopping motion in front of his neck to warn Penny.

"I’m not here," the depressed guy mumbled to himself. "I don’t know her."

"Same here," the young woman nodded to herself.

Earlier, they had felt sorry for Penny for taking out the trash and getting "special" treatment from Mildred. But now, they just didn’t want to be involved. Not because they hated her, but because they had to survive too. After all, the wrath of the primary branches of the family extended to the other members of the offender’s family. The three of them had children, with one even having a small infant.

Penny was doomed.

"Ah!" Mildred yelped, recovering from her shock, and rushed to salvage the situation. She hurried to Penny’s side, holding her arm down, and smiled at Dean. "Young Master Dean, I apologize on her behalf. She’s new here, so she doesn’t yet understand the rules fully."

"What—"

Mildred shot Penny a glare when the latter pouted. "I’ll teach her well, Young Master Dean. I’m really sorry for what she did, but I’m sure she didn’t mean any harm."

No one knew exactly what Penny had done to offend Dean, but everyone was certain that whatever it was, it couldn’t have been good. So, Mildred was quick to apologize, hoping it would save Penny from the inevitable.

As for Penny, her mouth parted as she prepared to slam Dean like always. However, seeing the effort Mildred was putting into this made her smile in appreciation.

’I knew it. This auntie isn’t as bad as I thought,’ Penny mentally nodded, appreciating Mildred’s effort despite asking her to take out the trash.

"She’s... new here?" Dean repeated, his scoff of ridicule saying more than any words could. He slowly shifted his eyes to Penny, who puffed her cheeks and mischievously shrugged. ’She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she?’

Penny’s demeanor was no different than when she was trying to aggravate someone, only to say, ’What are you going to do about it?’ Dean and Penny had spent years together, and the majority of that time was Penny pushing him away.

Therefore, no matter how strange it sounded, Dean had already memorized the different levels of Penny’s mischief.

’Did she come here because her security team isn’t enough for Zoren? Isn’t she going overboard for just one client, especially when she has other important clients?’ Dean hissed, not pleased at all. ’This girl... she really knows how to make me angry’—and worry too.

’Say another word and you’re dead!’ her widened eyes seemed to warn him.

’This jerk!’ Penny clenched her teeth and glared at him. ’When did I call him dumb?’

Dean shrugged nonchalantly. His gesture answered, ’Many times.’
