Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284: She would never do that... unless there’s a valid reason.

"When are you planning to have children?"

"Where did you spend your honeymoon?"

"How many children do you want?"

"How did the two of you meet?"

"Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

These were the kinds of questions Penny never imagined she would have to face in her lifetime. Even in her first life, no one had ever asked her these questions. But now, she had to face all of them with a smile.

"When are you planning to have children?"

’We haven’t discussed that yet,’ Penny wanted to say, but Zoren spoke up first.

"We’re trying," Zoren answered flatly.

"Where did you spend your honeymoon?"

’Well, we chose Japan...’

"Every time we’re together." Again, he answered right away.

"I see. So how many children do you want?"

Like I said, we haven’t discussed...

"Quadruplets. Less hassle." Once again, Penny didn’t get a chance to respond.

"How did the two of you meet?"

’In Japan, while I was at the museum...’

"Fate brought us together."

"Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"..."

"Doesn’t matter if they are four. Both genders will be in the mix... maybe."

Penny was horrified!

All the questions were directed at her, but the answers were coming from the other side! But that wasn’t the reason she was flustered — it was because his answers were too... vulgar!

Quadruplets?! Honeymoon every time they were together?

Was he actually a player?!

"Tsk." Old Mrs. Pierson clicked her tongue and glanced at her grandson, who had been answering all the questions for Penny.

’The only side I want to show him right now is my wrath!’ she mentally cried out.

’It’s been a while since I heard Grandma’s voice this lively and energetic,’ he thought, his blurry eyes softening at the sound around him. ’I feel... warm.’

"Haines, this is getting suspicious. Why are you suddenly ordering a halt to the investigation?" Wild’s lazy and naturally arrogant voice came from the other end of the line. "And by the way, I don’t take orders from you. Not because I am here and you are there, you’re my boss!"

"I never said to put a complete stop to it. Just don’t make any effort. At least make it look like you’ve hit another dead end." Haines, seated on the long couch inside the study, leaned back comfortably in the chair. "These aren’t my orders; they’re Penny’s. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have called you."

"Why? Why first?" Wild grunted. "You guys should tell me what’s going on in there, alright? Don’t keep me in the dark just because I’m here and you’re there! I’ll be there once I’ve finished some things over here!"

Another shallow breath slipped past Haines as he held the phone to his ear. "Just do it for now, Wild. Penny will explain everything to you in the future. Don’t forget she’s still preparing for her office here, and there’s been some talk from rival companies who are against Prime Group entering the market."

"Tch. Stupid bastards!"

"I’m counting on you for that."

"Fine, fine! I’ll do it! Just make it not obvious, right? I’ll show that we’ve made no progress." Wild ruffled his hair in irritation while Haines hummed in agreement. "By the way, Haines, are you sure Penny isn’t in danger?"

Haines furrowed his brows. "No, why?"

"That bratty little benefactor deployed her own team to guard a new client," Wild said as he glanced around their empty headquarters. "She flew half of them to that country under a priority order. She didn’t even lend them to the minister when he asked for her help but sent her third-best team. Yet, she suddenly changed her list and sent her elite team just a few days after accepting their application."

Wild paused, tilting his head. "What changed her mind?"

"I don’t know," said Haines, confused. "But if that’s true, then it is strange indeed. She would never do that... unless there’s a valid reason."
