Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 175

175 Operation: Future

Penny.” 

Penny stopped and looked back, tilting her head curiously. Atlas stood in the mezzanine while looking in her direction

What is it?she asked when he didn’t say anything even after their eyes met

Thanks.” 

Her brows knitted. For?” 

The book recommendation,was his answer, assuming Penny would already figure it out. It might be long overdue, but thanks.” 

Ah.” She smiled. No biggie.” 

And Penny quickly turned her back on him and went to her bedroom

Atlas stared at her retreating figure and frowned. Did I thank her a little too late?” 

Another deep exhale slipped past his lips, snapping his eyes up to her figure. She’s being indifferent again.” 

Penny was like hot and cold: some days she was appreciative, but most of the time, she was indifferent. She was especially nonchalant when taking credits, making one wonder if she was just not interested in the person or if she simply didn’t care

TskAtlas pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head, walking away to his room. I think I need to make more effort.

Being verbal was one of Atlas’s biggest problems, thinking everyone should know things even when not being said. At least, he expected that people would naturally ask if they didn’t understand something for he would also ask questions on things he couldn’t figure out on his 

own

But toward his little sister, it felt even more tricky since Penny seemed to be worse than him in that area. Worse but not in a bad way, though

Meanwhile, Penny didn’t mind Atlas’s appreciation and quickly forgot about it. Her mind was more focused on something else

When Penny came back to her room, she quickly ran to her closet and took out her small purple bag. She checked the contents once again, nodding to herself. After that, she reached out for a pair of black clothing. She quickly changed from her pajamas to her black suit, but alas, she realized it couldn’t fit her

Ah, ah, ouch!Penny jumped while lifting the pants up but to no avail. It got stuck to her thigh

Standing in front of the fullbody mirror, her face twisted in dismay. Didn’t I just buy this yesterday?she gasped, thinking she even fit it yesterday

How come it wouldn’t fit right now?! 

Dismay spread all across her face, thinking she was gaining a ton of weight every dayor was it because she just had dinner

A heavy sigh escaped her before she reluctantly took off her spy attire. How nice would it be to play superhero with full attire

This is silly,” she mumbled and gave up, taking out some casual outdoor clothes and wearing them easily. She then wore her pajamas over her outdoor clothes, knowing it was much better to be safe than sorry. Her mother might check on her or anyone; whoever it would be, they would surely find it suspicious if she wasn’t in her pajamas

Penny had a plan

She couldn’t sleep soundlessly tonight, knowing Grace was in danger. It wasn’t her business, but for her, she wanted to save Grave one way or another

Tucking in the bed, Penny laid flat on her back and killed some time

If I can save Grace, then I can save this family from its impending doom, she murmured, staring at the high ceiling blankly. From what I know” 

Grace would lead a horrible life in the crine world before she could even reach adulthood. Grace’s first crime was heavy and irreparable she should be punished for it, and Penny was aware of that. However, if she could make a change, then Grace might not be associated with a more violent environment of the crime world and wouldn’t end up 

in priso 

I’m being nosyI know,she told herself, nodding. But it can’t be helped. I need Grace to do something for me in the future.” 

When Penny woke up as a baby, she had an entire infancy to think about her life in the future. The change she made in the Cortez Household was simply nothing compared to the life she was truly preparing herself for

Though there are also changes in these mansions and my familyI can’t just forget my future,” she told herself

The changes in her brothers and parents were not enough for Penny to forget the plans she had for the first decade of her life. Not that that plan originated from hate, but more of the terms of how she wanted to live in the future. That includes the potential talent she had seen in people in her previous life and wanted to invest in early on

The stocks weren’t the only thing she needed to invest in, but also in people
