Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 269

“We’re married.” 

Silence quickly reigned in the room as Penny’s words echoed. They stared at each other blankly before Zoren tilted his head to the side. 

“No, we’re not,” he replied flatly. 

Penny let out a short laugh, scratching her temple. “Yes, we are.” 

“No.” He shook his head. “I’d know if I were married. as 

It was the same thing she had said! 

“Mr. Pierson, I know it’s hard to believe this, but please, keep an open mind.” 

Zoren nodded. “I’m listening, and I’m keeping an open mind. It’s just that this is not what I expected to hear. I’m not married, Miss Penelope.” 

“Mr. Pierson, I’m not lying” Penny placed her hand on her chest and forced a smile. “We’re married. I have our marriage license.” 

“Okay.” 

“Huh?” 

Zoren shrugged. “Fine.” 

“You believe me?” 

“No.” 

“Then what’s that ‘fine‘ all about?” 

Zoren didn’t respond, and even though he couldn’t see properly, he slid his eyes to the side. “Nothing.” 

“That nothing is definitely something!‘ Her heart thudded, nervous about what was going on in. this guy’s mind right now. 

“If you don’t believe me, then here’s the marriage certificate,” she said, swiftly pulling it out and placing it right in front of him. “You can check. Look!” 

Penny waited for him to pick it up and check, but he didn’t. Instead, Zoren just stared at her before she noticed a shadow of confusion spreading across his face. 

“What? Why?‘she furrowed her brows before her mouth parted in disbelief. “Oh… right, you can’t see. Ha ha ha o 

Zoren looked up at her, making her wonder if that laugh at the end of her sentence was even 

necessary. 

“Oh, silly me. I wasn’t laughing at you, Mr. Pierson. Please don’t misunderstand, she quickly explained, then massaged her temple in distress. “Anyway, that’s actually the reason I

approached you in the hospital. That day, I found out about our marriage, and coincidentally, you were there.” 

“It wasn’t a coincidence that I was there. Dean was hospitalized, and as his uncle, I am… oh,” Zoren pressed his lips into a thin line, remembering what Dean had told him at the time. 

Dean said his girlfriend visited him. 

If that girlfriend was her, then… 

I think I just made a mistake,‘ he told himself. 

Now, he’s dead. 

Zoren faintly sighed, his face suddenly looking gloomy. Surely, when one is getting old, they tend to be forgetful. Now, Zoren was in for an earful from Benjamin for disclosing all the information. that would allow Dean to take his role. 

Meanwhile, Penny’s face kept twisting as she watched him. 

While doing business with Zoren, she quickly understood why he was the head of the family. He was not only a boss but also seemed to be a good leader. However, there was only one distinct. impression she had of him: 

A weirdo. 

‘He didn’t look weird at first glance, but the more I talked to him, the weirder he seemed,‘ she thought in dismay, finding this trait an odd combination or a misplaced one for someone in his position. This is not what I expected.” 

Penny couldn’t help but look up and recall the image she had of this guy. She thought he was worse than Atlas when it came to showing emotions, or worse than the arrogant Dean. 

But this guy? He was… He was… 

Penny set her eyes back on him again, only to see him staring at her with the same plain look he had on their marriage certificate. 

‘He’s a little… goofy?” 

At this point, Penny didn’t know if she should feel a little disappointed or amused. 

*Miss Penelope, I do not understand why you claim that we’re married, but I can assure you we’re not,” he spoke again, this time with a change of tone. “If we were, then I would’ve known what my wife looks like. 

Her lips curved down as her shoulders lowered. “You can check, Mr. Pierson. If I show this certificate to your assistant, I know he’ll simply say I forged it. So, check with the Civil Bureau. My line is always open for you for discussion.” 

Penny carefully slid her calling card to him. “Please.” 

Zoren glanced at the card on the table and picked it up. “I’ll do that, he said as he got up from his But I’m certain I am not married.

When Zoren stepped out of the private dining room, Benjamin quickly rushed to his boss. The latter checked him from head to toe, making sure he was not harmed. 

Penny saw this through the gap in the door and snorted. “Did he think I would defile his boss or what? Then the door closed. 

“Sir, is everything okay?” Benjamin asked worriedly. “Did she tell you to sign anything? Or did you tell her about everything?”
