Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 242

242 Weird people these days are surely everywhere

Wow, Nina. Look at that ring. Penny’s eyes twinkled as she noticed the ring on Nina’s finger. Your fiancé seems to be loaded. Is he rich?” 

Nina chuckled as she glanced at her finger. My fiancé’s family is rich. That’s why I’m a little pressured to make a name for myself

Huh?” 

You see, if you’re marrying into a wealthy family, you should also have something to bring to the table,” Nina explained upon seeing the pure curiosity in Penny’s eyes. Otherwise, I’m afraid they’d just bully me.” 

Ohthat’s why?Penny tilted her head. Why does that sound so complicated?” 

It’s complicated because you’re a free spirit.” 

Nina, you also have a free spirit. Are you sure you’re marrying into this family? They sound bad -complicated” 

Nina rested her arms on the edge of the table and nodded with a smile. It’s complicated, but I love him. Moreover, it’s not like I want a good career just because I’m marrying him. I want to do what I love and earn from it

WowPenny clapped. Nina, you’ve really turned your life around. You used to be such a brat, but look at your now! Wow! Amazing” 

Penny, you’re teasing me again.” 

Hehe

Anyway, I heard about the engagement from the elders,Nina brought up in a serious tone. Are you planning on doing anything about it?” 

Penny frowned deeply, looking at Nina with irritation. Nina, is this really important right now? I haven’t even asked about Yuri and Aunt Jessa.” 

You know what they’ve been up to, and Yuri would have joined us if 

would have joined us if she didn’t have a class. The children’s education is importantthat’s what she always says.” Nina sighed, thinking that Yuri wasn’t available on weekdays because Yuri was a kindergarten teacher

Also, this is important since it’s about you,” Nina added. And I heard Brother Atlas has been fighting them like crazy. There will be some internal strife in the company if Brother Atlas keeps resisting

What do you mean?Penny narrowed her eyes as she leaned back

You don’t know? He didn’t tell you?Nina furrowed her brows. Because of the promise made 

by the two elders from both families, they came to an agreement to strengthen the family bond with marriage. But since the other side has no unmarried female descendants, First Brother said he’d have a samesex marriage. Otherwise, they should leave you alone.” 

Penny’s face contorted as she imagined Atlas’s face while spewing such nonsense

Haha. Penny, I know what you’re thinking.Nina chuckled. But he was a little embarrassed when he said thataccording to Third Brother. His face was all red.” 

Goodness.Penny shook her head

They initially thought of me, but since I’m engaged and I’m not an actual Bennet, I’m safe.” 

Penny glanced at her, noticing how happy she seemed. Nina, are you happy that you’re not a Bennet?” 

In this situation? Yes.” Nina didn’t hide her relief. But that’s not the main point here.” 

What is it?” 

With Dad and First Brother’s shares, and then Uncle Haines’s, First Brother currently has the largest share. However, the gap between First Brother and our cousin is very small since the majority of the board favors him. So if Grandpa gives his shares to this cousin, he’ll become the new head of the family,” she explained in a matteroffact tone. Grandpa wasn’t very happy with First Brother’s refusal of the engagement, after all.” 

Penny frowned as she crossed her arms, not pleased to hear all this information. So, they’re pressuring First Brother just because he’s opposed to this engagement?” 

He probably didn’t want to tell you because he knew you’d feel burdened,Nina sighed. Did

overshare?” 

Would you still have told me this if you thought of that beforehand?” 

Yes. Nina chortled. I know you’d appreciate it more if you heard about it. Also, I’m very concerned. Although I’m not directly affected by the Bennet family’s affairs and it shouldn’t be my problem, I’m worried.” 

Thanks.” Penny pondered this. I thought they’d give up if First Brother kept resisting the arrangements. Dad also doesn’t approve of this. But it seems they’re really determined

But the main question Penny had in mind was, What changed?” 

In her first life, there was nothing like this. The elders didn’t propose any engagement nor did they force any of the Bennet children to marry someone because of this socalled promise

What changed

The problem with this is because I am available, right?Penny snapped her eyes up at Nina, watching the latter nod. If I were married, do you think they’d have this idea?” 

Well, I don’t know, but if you were married, then there’s nothing they could do, I guess?Nina shrugged. I think they’d reconsider First Brother’s proposal if marriage is off the table.” 

Got it.” 

Nina paused, raising her brows. Penny, what are you planning?” 

Nothing.” 

But that smile tells me it’s not nothing at all.”
