Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: To win

In the van service, the Bennet boys couldn’t help but set their eyes on Penny’s seat. None of them spoke a word and simply cast each other a quiet look before looking at her again.

For some reason, they could feel that Penny’s on fire.

She wasn’t saying a word and was just staring at the window. However, they could feel the heatwave from the invisible flames engulfing her.

’What happened?’ Hugo mouthed to Atlas, but the latter shrugged. The two of them shifted their eyes to Slater because their third brother was the closest to her building.

Slater’s eyes dilated and quickly shrugged as if mistaking their gaze as an accusing one.

A subtle sigh slipped past Hugo and Atlas as they set their eyes on Penny once more. They planned to ask her if something happened or if someone was picking on her in her class. Penny, after all, only came to school when it was almost the end of the school year.

However, when they arrived home, Penny had already jumped out of the van before they could even ask.

"Miss Penny, welcome home," Butler Jen welcomed her by the main entrance as usual. His brows rose when Penny suddenly took out a small note.

"This is...?" Butler Jen carefully took the piece of paper and knitted his brows. "A list?"

"Butler Jen, can you help me find these things tonight?" Penny asked with a sweet smile.

Butler Jen glanced at her before reading the list once more. "Of course, Miss Penny. We have most of them in the house. But do you need these things in school?"

"I need them in my school," Penny explained, keeping it vague. "It’s for a project."

"A project?"

"Project Survival! That’s the theme."

"Oh. No wonder."

"Anyway, I’ll say hi to Tiana, Chunchun, and Mouse first! I’ll come down to help later!"

Having said that, Penny jogged her way to her room enthusiastically.

Butler Jen could only watch her small figure before Hugo’s voice stole his attention.

"Butler Jen, what does Penny need?"

"Oh." Butler Jen gazed at the list and then smiled at the boys. "She said she had a project in school and needs some things."

"Oh..." The three boys rocked their heads, assuming Penny was on fire earlier because she wanted to do well on her first project in school. Well, considering she only transferred now, Penny had to do well so her classmates wouldn’t criticize her.

Understanding the "situation," the boys didn’t dwell on it and went to do what they were supposed to do.

Butler Jen, on the other hand, watched the boys head inside the mansion. After a minute, he gazed down at the list again.

"A big umbrella, huge trash bags, a raincoat, a mask, a holy cross... this is a strange list for a school project," he mumbled, but then he thought of the name of the project. "Well, I guess the school is trying something new."

Not thinking too much about it, Butler Jen asked the servants to look for the things on the list. Not long after, Penny came down to help and check if what they had gathered was enough.

All night, Penny was busy with the servants. When asked during dinner, all she had to do was smile sweetly. She still joined Slater and Atlas after-dinner study while Hugo still babysat her pets.

Boss, what? ]

[To: Lookout

Just do it. I need a lookout, and you’re good at it. Go to school early and check what I should anticipate.]

[To: Little Boss

Fine.]

The next day...
