Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 800

Chapter 800: Since when did she start being so gullible?

Meanwhile...

"Ugh... this is so frustrating!" Penny complained, her fingers curling as she recalled her plans for the night and how they turned out. "Mark, how could you do this to me?! It’s all your fault!"

She pointed at the front passenger seat, where Mark was seated. The latter looked back at her, blinking innocently.

"But Miss Penny, didn’t you say you wanted to learn more about the family before joining them at the family gathering? The kitchen is a good place for honest people. Frustrated people are honest."

"I did, but I didn’t say I wanted to be trapped in the kitchen!" _{freēwebnovel.com}

"But I thought you were having fun," he blurted out because he and his team had been watching Penny right after she shooed them and scolded them, yapping about how she didn’t want them to ruin her grand entrance.

"Oh, my god!" she gasped, only to see Mark blink innocently as she pressed his lips into a thin line.

"Apologies."

Penny scoffed, hearing that simple apology leave Mark’s mouth. She turned to Zoren, spreading her hands to her sides.

"Hubby, a little help here?"

Zoren just smiled at her and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. "You still smell nice. I never thought onions could smell nice."

"Renren..." Penny chewed her lips, her face turning red. She glared at the front row seats, but Angel had already pulled up the partition to save Mark—or his ears. "Hah!"

For a while, this left her speechless. She had only been with Mark for some time, but that guy was growing too comfortable with her. Then again, if that were Angel with her, he would do the same thing.

After all, it was Mark who had given her the vitamins only to flash her a smile without saying a word.

"It’s not like he asked you to poison William," Zoren commented, zipping his mouth when he realized that not talking would lower the chances of making mistakes.

"My love life," Penny cleared her throat, "he didn’t tell me to do anything, but giving me those vitamins right after dropping me off in the kitchen is like handing a grenade to a terrorist." She argued, "Of course, I’d bomb that William Pierson."

"You’re right." Zoren nodded in agreement. "Mark is being too... cocky."

Penny narrowed her eyes at Zoren. "Are you saying that because you think that’s what I want to hear?"

"Yes."

"..." Penny buried her face in her palms before letting out a short squeal of frustration. "He’s a lost cause. My husband’s too in love with me he cannot think anymore. He’s just happy to be here."

Zoren, on the other hand, just watched his wife quietly. After heaving a deep sigh, he reached for her and pulled her gently to him.

"What’s wrong?" he asked in a gentle tone. "What made you genuinely upset about tonight?"

There were too many things Zoren had in mind, but he knew his wife had one reason. He knew her too well to consider that William was one of them.

Penny snapped her eyes up at him, frowning deeply. "I was trying to make a grand entrance..."

"A grand... what?"

"A grand, compelling, and jaw-dropping entrance!" she stressed, almost yelling with conviction. "An introduction that would render everyone speechless and something that would stun you!"

Obviously, that didn’t happen.

How could she stun him when she entered the family dinner being dragged by two guys?! Not only that, but they even pushed her down so enthusiastically. Even though that entire thing was staged and that they even practiced it in the kitchen, it wasn’t supposed to go down that way!
