Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1789

Chapter 1789: Not another prison

"He’s gonna win not just the Shadow Order, but the Zorken Family as well. I’m putting my life in his hands, and even bet that he would change this order once he gets his hands on it."

A moment of silence fell in the hut as neither of them spoke after Penny’s remark. Slater and Shawn furrowed their brows, eyeing Penny, then shifting their gaze to the granny. Studying the granny, there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary about her.

The granny just looked like... well, she looked old, for sure. However, she didn’t carry any aura that could make one assume she was someone of high standing. She was rather simple — too simple.

Yet, this woman was the head of the Shadow Order?

The very organization that was deemed to be one of the strongest in terms of military power?

This granny?

How did Penny know?

The granny smiled at Penny in satisfaction, nodding at her.

"Atlas Bennet," she repeated. "I’ll remember his name, only because you, young lady, seem to believe in him so much."

"He is my eldest brother," Penny shrugged. "I believe in all my siblings, but the firstborn is just different. Though I have to warn you."

The granny raised her brows. "Warn me about?"

"My first brother has a bit of a different gear in his head," she explained. "He really has a knack for murdering someone without lifting a finger. Just his mouth is enough."

"Haha! You’ve surely not met a lot of people to think that is talent, young lady."

"That’s why I can’t claim the code," Penny humored, earning another round of laughter from the granny.

The granny nodded in satisfaction. "It’s been a while since I’ve talked to a young person who both annoys and entertains me."

"You surely need to meet my first brother, Granny," Penny answered, nodding at her as if she were just selling Atlas. "You’ll have a lot of fun with him."

’Or have tons of fun with more maintenance pills because she’ll need a lot of that,’ Slater spoke in his head, eyeing Penny and then the old grandma.

"This brother of yours..." the grandma hummed. "... is he on the island?"

"Maybe." Penny shrugged. "I haven’t seen them since I got abducted and faked my death, but I’m sure he’ll be here."

"You faked your death?"

Penny nodded. "Well, not really, but it may come off like that. Anyway, by doing that, no one’s after me!"

"Haha..." the granny shook her head, studying the young lady, who was both smart and silly. "Young lady, if you hand over the code right now, I will accept you as the heir of the Zorken Family and the new queen of the Shadow Order."

She hunched a bit, looking Penny in the eye. "If you accept it now, you’ll be able to stop the mess these people are creating on the island. Of course, your people would be left unharmed. Not even the tip of their hair would be touched as soon as you say the word."

Just one word: yes.
