Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 787

Chapter 787: Poor Penny.

"I’ll divorce my husband. Problem solved! Hehe."

Penny said that so casually, followed by a giggle that left everyone speechless. For a while, they could only stare at Penny, their faces a mix of disbelief and shock.

Well, not that Penny actually meant it. Divorcing Zoren was never part of her plan—over her dead body. It was rare for her to find such a perfect specimen who could fulfill everything she needed in life, both emotionally and intimately. However, she quickly resorted to this excuse for one good reason: they wouldn’t believe her.

Penny had learned this from Mildred when she revealed that she was Zoren’s wife. All she got in return was a load of scolding. Mildred didn’t believe her and instead called her a liar. So, Penny wasn’t hopeful, nor did she want to risk riling everyone up by saying that her husband had her back.

"You’re going to divorce your husband?" the woman beside her, Ashley, blurted out under her breath, only to see Penny nod without hesitation. "That is your grand escape?"

"Mhm! You guys can’t do it because many of you are not only married but also parents. So, I understand that your patience comes from the fact that you’re mothering and fathering your children," Penny explained in a knowing tone. "As for me, I don’t have children, and I just got married... not too long ago. So, even if I get myself into trouble tonight, it’s going to be fine. My husband might be sad about it, but I can’t bear him carrying the burdens I caused tonight."

Her face brightened as she added, "And we can always see each other secretly and continue our love story, like Romeo and Juliet."

"Romeo and Juliet... died," someone blurted out, making Penny’s face twitch. "Are you sure you’re just going to get a divorce?"

Again, Penny nodded. "Should I just burden my husband and his family because of me? I don’t think so."

Even so, this was too ridiculous!

Everyone opened and closed their mouths, unable to find the right words to say to Penny. How could they? This was just too absurd. Even if Penny and her husband were recently married, wasn’t there any real relationship between them?

Obviously, they knew it was a marriage of love, but from what they’d heard so far, it didn’t sound like it was a marriage of love at all! Still, even if it was a marriage of convenience, Penny shouldn’t be so indifferent to the idea of divorce.

"So, what do you guys think?" Penny rested her arms on the table, scanning everyone’s faces. "Should we go with this plan?"

No one answered her for a full minute. All they could do was stare at her, wondering what answer they should give this young lady. On one hand, they were concerned about Mildred, and on the other, they couldn’t just ruin someone’s marriage.

Mildred wouldn’t allow that.

"Don’t worry," Penny chuckled, catching the reluctance on their faces. "I simply said I’d divorce, but my husband won’t allow it. He loves me so much, he’d do everything I say—except divorce. So, if I get myself in trouble, he’ll be there for me."

"Are you sure about this?" the young woman in Penny’s group asked. "I mean, even if what you say is true and you and your husband have always lived a carefree life, would you be okay?"
