Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 249

249 Penny’s literal headache 

“Are you sure you didn’t try to screw me over through Sven?” Atlas held the driver’s door before Penny could get in. “I won’t get angry.” 

Penny studied his face and could almost see the horns sprouting from the top of his head. He’ll definitely get angry. He seemed ready. 

“That cousin of yours is lying through his teeth,” Penny scoffed. “Why would I do business with someone like that?” 

When Penny helped Haines and Charles resolve an issue in the company, she learned a valuable lesson that day: if she was going to do something, it was best to keep it private. That’s why only a few people knew the person behind Prime Group. 

“That’s a lot of nerve on his part.” Atlas shook his head, pleased that his sister wasn’t trying to give him a headache. “If you say so, then fine.” 

“First Brother, do you want me to screw him up?” 

“No. Sven is crucial to the company. Let him be.” 

Penny frowned. “Are you going to let him get all the credit?” 

“The company’s success is also ours.” 

“What a bummer.” Penny pouted, clicking her tongue with a sigh. “Fine, fine. But I’m not doing business with him. The only reason Global Prime Logistics is at the top of my list is because of you. I’m not negotiating with him.” 

“I understand, Atlas nodded. “Go now. Do you have plans today?” 

“I’m going to the building. Nina’s there.” 

“Okay.” 

Penny turned to leave but paused, looking back at him. “First Brother, you’re Charles Bennet’s eldest son. Don’t let that cousin of yours push you around.” 

“He’s not just my cousin, but also yours. And I’m not letting him push me around: 

“I’m not in the Bennet family anymore.” 

Atlas arched a brow. “What did you say?” 

“Kidding! Kidding! Ha ha!” Penny faced him squarely while smiling sweetly. “First Brother, prepare your proposal for Ito Motors. That Sven is going to rip you off.” 

“Grandpa already said…” 

“Raise our rates.” 

Atlas frowned. “Are you kidding me?” 

The main purpose of the engagement was to foster a good relationship between the two families and ensure mutual benefit. But since marriage was no longer an option, the Bennets

would have to compensate the other party. 

In other words, they had to lower their rates by a few percent to continue doing business with that company. 

Penny was a businesswoman herself; she should understand this without anyone explaining it to her. 

The corner of her lips curled up into a smirk. “Raise your price and don’t bend.” She winked at him. “Otherwise, tell them to find other logistics services that can match our price and quality. Trust me on this one.” 

“At least tell me the reason,” Atlas frowned. “Penny, our elders and relatives are annoying, but I don’t want more internal strife that could potentially tear down our company.” 

“I care about your business as much as you do. So, you’ll know,” she smirked confidently. “Anyway, I’m off-!” 

With that, Penny got inside the car while Atlas closed the door for her. Taking a step back, Atlas watched the car move in reverse before it made a turn. 

“Seriously,” he sighed while watching her speed away. “What is she planning this time?” 

Atlas shook his head and pondered. “Well, Ito Motors has been leeching off the Bennets for a long time now.” 

He shrugged and turned, strutting toward his car to head to work as well. 

Atlas might be the head of the family, but he had a high regard for Penny’s advice and judgment. She was, after all, the smartest and most successful Bennet of their generation–perhaps even the previous generations. 

Penny idled in the parking lot outside the building because Nina had told her she needed to run a quick errand. She didn’t complain; Nina had a prior commitment before Penny reached out to her for this project. She was already glad Nina was working on her office before anything else. “Is a fireplace too much to ask for in an office?” she wondered, her eyes falling on the marriage certificate in the vacant front seat. “This marriage license again” 

Picking it up, Penny studied it once more. 

“Registering a marriage means both parties should be aware,” she whispered. “Did this other man register the marriage? But without me, that’s still impossible.” 

What a headache.
