105 Baiting Penny 

Miss Penny, the food is ready,” Butler Jen announced outside Penny’s room

Okay, Butler Jen! I’ll just finish this!she answered with a wide smile

After ten minutes, Haines knocked on her door

Penny? Do you want to eat?he asked, head peeking in the door

Penny, who was sitting in the study chair, looked back at him and said. Just a minute, Uncle. I will come down after this.” 

Okay.Haines slowly closed the door and sighed

After Haines, one of the servants also came to get her. However, Penny kept saying she would come down to eat after she finished her homework

Thirty minutes latereveryone looked up when the head maid came down with a grim expression. It only meant Penny used the same excuse

Everyone had been discreet about their plans for today, but it seemed they had to tell her about it just to make her come down! What a dilemma

Butler Jen scanned the faces of the Bennet couple and their boys. Their worries were apparent. He then glanced at Haines, only to see the latter studying the family

It seemsit’s my fault; Haines confessed, and they shifted their attention to him. Penny didn’t even remember it was her birthday, but I greeted her.” 

She acted strangely since then

Sir Haines, I don’t think that’s the case, Butler Jen argued, but Charles already spoke

What do you mean by that Haines?” asked Charles. Are you saying she purposely tried to forget her birthday?” 

I can’t say that confidently, but that’s what I think.” 

Allison pursed her lips. So, Mrs. Cortez is telling the truth, huh? That Penny doesn’t like. birthdays.” 

Allison reached out to Jessa carly this morning. As usual, Jessa was aggressive with a tone as if the entire world were against her. But when Allison told Jessa about their plans for Penny’s birthday, Jessa somehow calmed down and told her some advice

According to Jessa, Penny never planned or thought of her birthday. It wasn’t like Penny disliked it, said Jessa, but rather, she openly said it was unnecessary to make a big deal out of it. Even so, during her birthdays, Jessa told Allison she would cook for Penny and the Cortez Family would sing her a happy birthday. Before Penny was found by her real family, Jessa planned a trip for the family

Allison didn’t think a trip would be a good idea since they still had school tomorrow, but she 

made a mental note of it

Ali, I don’t think she hates it,Charles squeezed her shoulder with a smile. Today, she’ll have

birthday with the family. And then next time, we’ll do some charity events. Right, boys?The Bennet Brothers nodded because they informed their parents of Penny’s good cause

All we have to do is make her come down, Charles huffed, his expression slowly turning solemn. At this point, it looked like a mission for them

I’ll call her ” 

Aha!Allison’s remarks halted when Slater suddenly bumped the bottom of his fist against his palm. I have an idea!” 

Everyone raised their brows at the third young master, watching his lips broaden from ear to 

car

Slater, what are you planning?Atlas inquired suspiciously

Heh.Slater raised his chin really high with his hand on his hips. I got this!

Penny busied herself in checking the stock market for an update. She already finished her assignments and received the report from James. So far, James was doing a diligent job. [From: Lookout 

Boss, do I have to go to school early tomorrow?

Her brows rose as she saw a notification on the right lower corner of the screen. She rubbed her chin, thinking that James had been going to school one hour before his class started. He also took the diligence of joining Ray’s fan club to be her spy

He’s really good at his job, she muttered because James had already done all of that, even though she only asked him to check the situation first. Well, I’ll just be prepared in case all the other fan clubs pull any stunt on me

Penny opened the chat box and typed

[To: Lookout 

No need. Thanks.

James, who had been waiting for her reply, shut his eyes when he saw her typing and her message popped out. He wasn’t ready for any other orders just yet

Slowly, he peeked from his one eye, thinking she had another order for him. Much to his surprise, her answer was short and precise

No need?he whispered, rubbing his eyes in case he misread. When he was certain her message wasn’t just a part of his imagination, he quickly thanked her ten times and logged in to his game

Finally, he could play. He felt like this was more of a reward and somehow, he appreciated it more than the rewards his busy parents had given him

105 Baiting Penny 

Back to Penny, her face contorted at the words of gratitude written in caps lock

Is he that happy?she muttered, arching a brow when she heard another knock on the door. I’m coming in a bit! Almost done!” 

Whoever was knocking on her door, Penny already assumed he or she wanted to tell her that she should eat

Butler Jen already gave me snacks earliershe pouted, thinking everyone here just wanted to feed her into oblivion. She didn’t mind eating plenty. It was just that Penny didn’t have an appetite tonight. She was just waiting for it to pass because she didn’t want to eat all alone on her birthday
