Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 807

Chapter 807: Never-ending cycle

"Sister Belle!"

Belle’s thoughts halted as her attention snapped when Penny’s voice reached her ears. Perking up, she quickly rose to her feet as Penny closed the door behind her.

"You came here sooner than I expected," Penny quipped, placing her bag down on the desk before joining Belle on the set of couches. "Sister Belle, you don’t have to get up. Please, sit down."

Belle smiled awkwardly. "I’m sorry I came here without any notice."

"It’s alright. It saved me a lot of trouble visiting you." Penny nodded at her, winking. "Anyway, have you had coffee? Tea? Oh right, preggy. Some juice, perhaps?"

"I’m alright, Penny."

"Juice it is." Penny quickly walked back to her desk, pressing a button to request some organic juice for Belle. Once she placed her order, she joined Belle again. "Sit down, Sister Belle."

"Thank you." Belle politely nodded, sitting down on the long couch while Penny settled into the one-seat chair. "You mentioned just now that you wanted to visit me?"

"Yep." Penny grinned. "I was planning to do so in the future, but now is also alright."

Belle’s brows rose curiously, tempted to ask Penny the reason. However, she thought it wasn’t very polite to ask more questions, especially when she had come to visit Penny without prior notice.

"Well, thanks for letting me in to see you," Belle broke the ice in the same polite manner. "Last night was a shock, and honestly, I feel like I owe you an apology."

"Huh? For what?"

"For telling you some things," she replied vaguely, but more like she wanted to apologize to Penny for underestimating her. In her mind, last night, Penny was just another distant family member who was reaping the benefits of carrying the Pierson Family name.

After all, those who benefited most from the Pierson Family name were distant relatives who were irrelevant to the power strife of the three primary branches. As long as they didn’t do anything grand that would hurt the family’s reputation, they lived a good life.

"You thought I was joking last night, didn’t you?" Penny returned playfully, making Belle purse her lips. "It’s alright. Even I thought I was a joke last night."

"It’s not like that, Penny."

"I know." Penny nodded reassuringly. "Sister Belle, you don’t have to be so restrained in front of me. What I told you last night still stands. I got you."

Belle’s eyes softened as a thin layer of tears glistened in her eyes. "Thank you, Penny," she breathed out.
