Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1788

Chapter 1788: A bet of a lifetime

When the old lady slapped Penny’s shoulder once more, she huffed sharply and looked at Penny’s face with displeasure. She shook her head in disappointment, then glanced at the two men behind the young lady.

"Kids these days..." she grumbled, shaking her head again. "Are you going to the mansion?"

No one answered as Penny was busy rubbing her shoulder.

"Tch." The old lady muttered. "Forget it. No one’s in there — just come inside for a while. It’s dangerous outside. Children these days surely don’t know danger."

As the old lady grumbled, she grabbed Penny’s shoulder and dragged her back into the hut. Before they got in, she stopped and looked back at Shawn and Slater.

"Forget it," the grandma huffed. "Two ladies with two men together in one place is scandalous. You go in, young lady. Don’t make me scold you again."

Penny frowned as she was pushed to the door, dragging herself back inside like a child. Following behind her was the short old lady.

Meanwhile, Slater and Shawn gazed at them with twisted expressions.

"Scan — scandalous?" Slater muttered in disbelief.

Forget about that, but did the granny actually say two ladies and two men together? How was that scandalous when the other lady was old enough to be their great-grandmother?!

"I don’t think she should lower her guard like that," Shawn snapped out of it, shooting Slater a look.

Slater was slightly irritated, giving Shawn a look that told the latter who was the cause of this irritation.

"She’s already inside," he said, keeping his rifle strapped around him, though his hand never left it. "Damn it, Penny."

Slater clicked his tongue. "This is not the time for this."

But even then, Slater was already marching inside. As for Shawn, his mouth opened and closed. They had already idled, wasting their time because they had to. But now?

"Miss Penny," he whispered, looking around cautiously before following them.

Before Shawn could go in, he lingered outside just to make sure this wasn’t a setup. But then again, everyone at this point probably knew Penny was dead. And Jonathan wouldn’t have seen this coming. With that thought in mind, Shawn eventually walked inside the hut.

Once Shawn walked in, he caught the granny holding an old lamp and placing it on the table. Slater was just beside the window, still alert despite being here. Penny sat at the small table, cupping her face with a smile.

"Why are these two in here?" the granny grumbled as she sat down across from Penny, not pleased to have the two men around. "This place had been dangerous. How could you three wander around this area, huh?"

"Granny, don’t be angry," Penny maintained a smile until her eyes squinted. "They’re not my lovers; I’m married."

The grandma shot Penny a disbelieving look. "You’re married and wandering with two men who are not your husband in the middle of the night?"

"That one is my brother," Penny pointed at Slater. "And then the other one... hmm... I’m still reconsidering his role in my life, but for now, he’s my slave."

Penny glanced at Shawn. "Let’s show it to her. Bark."

"..."

"See?" She fluttered her eyelashes at the granny. "His bark is still not good since he only whimpers."

"This young lady..." the granny clicked her tongue. "Are you messing with me, young lady!?"

"Hehe. I’m just trying to spread some positivity to you, Grandma."

"Positivity —" the granny touched her nape, looking at this young lady in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Shawn and Slater just looked at Penny with judgment. Until now, they had no idea why Penny had decided to entertain the grandma despite being in a hurry.

"Granny, don’t you have some kind of warm milk to offer to your guest?" Penny pouted. "I’m a bit hungry. Well, I am hungry because I hadn’t had dinner thanks to a certain someone."
