Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 273

273 That sadistic sociopath

Days had passed in the blink of an eye

Penny’s first week home was quite eventful with random things. There were days when Hugo or Slater would ambush her especially Slater for some attention. Other than that, there wasn’t anything significant, as Penny found herself preoccupied with setting up her office and also, helping the main branch so they could deploy the men she needed for their new clients

For this reason, she didn’t think much when she didn’t hear from Zoren again

Right, Penny, will you go?” 

Seated on the green landscape of the mansion after a morning jog with Hugo, the latter’s voice snapped her back to the present moment. Penny looked up with Chunchun in her arms

Huh?she hummed. Go where, Second Brother?” 

I told you the other day, didn’t I?Hugo tilted his head, thinking he had mentioned it as she was leaving home for her office. There’s a reunion at the Summit School of Excellence and then a bachelor party for one of my teammates from the school basketball team. I told them you were back, and they’re excited to meet you” 

Her lips formed a circle as she rocked her head. Oh, that’s what you were talking about. I’ve been quite busy these days. Sorry. I didn’t catch that.” 

It’s okay.” He chuckled. No big deal

But why am I invited to the reunion?she asked. My graduating batch wasn’t even my classmates

Moreover, Penny hadn’t even attended her graduation because she had left the country

Because you were a legend in school?Hugo quipped, laughing when her face quickly turned sour. I’m kidding, I’m kidding. The reunion is more like a casual meetup of their alumni. They call it a reunion, but it’s really just a party for the new headmaster.” 

Oh, Penny nodded. Well, I guess it’s about time for a new headmaster.” 

It’s Ray.” 

Ah?” 

Hugo shrugged. Ray is the new headmaster.” 

OhPenny’s mouth formed into a round shape once more as she studied her brother’s kind 

smile

When Penny left for her apprenticeship, she hadn’t heard any news about Ray. To be fair, she had forgotten he even existed. Her brothers hadn’t mentioned him either, but the last she remembered, they were ready to confront (kill) him

But we were young back then,Penny chuckled inwardly. Of course, my brothers have moved on

from that.” 

Or so she thought

That’s why I’m suggesting you come to the bachelor party instead,Hugo’s smile brightened, though he emitted a hint of tension. Why bother with the new headmaster’s ceremony if it’s not. important, right?” 

Penny’s smile stiffened. Guess I was wrong. He hasn’t moved on.” 

Heh.” A dry laugh escaped her. The basketball team, huh? Well, I suppose that’s much better than seeing a bunch of people I don’t know from school. Also, I heard a lot of news about them on the sports page. It’s a little bad that some of them ended up playing for different teams. Are they friends?” 

! Hugo laughed. That’s 

basketball Anyway 

Of Anyway, are you coming?” 

WellPenny pondered for a moment, thinking if she could free up some time in her schedule. Sure!” 

Good!Hugo nodded in satisfaction. I’ll let them know then!” 

At this point, Penny wouldn’t be surprised if Hugo had orchestrated the bachelor party to coincide with Ray’s inauguration, just to give her an excuse. But then again, that would be a stretch. Her brother wouldn’t go to such lengths

If only she knew the lengths Hugo had gone to just to keep Penny from encountering Ray

Anyway, do you have other plans today?Hugo inquired. You’ve been busy these past few days. with Nina. Do you need any help with your office?” 

Penny smiled and shook her head. Nina has already got it covered, so I don’t need to do any extra work.” 

Isn’t she reliable?Hugo’s smile softened. She makes me proud.” 

She’s made all of us proud, but I think she’s proudest of herself, Penny replied, releasing Chunchun to wander over to her brother’s lap. I never would have imagined she’d turn out like this.” 

Looking back, Nina’s career in her previous life as a model and owner of a skincare brand flourished with Atlas’s and Slater’s help. Despite the company’s troubles, it persevered, thanks to Penny

But compared to Nina’s past self, Penny could see how much Nina loved her current career. Having spent time with Nina at the office, Penny could tell that Nina’s career was more than just a job for appearances; she genuinely enjoyed its ups and downs

Penny,” 

Penny snapped her attention back to her brother. Yes?” 

You were zoning out,” he pointed out. You had that smile when you talked about Nina. Are you 

that hanny for her?”

Penny nodded. Of course. I just hope her fiancé takes good care of her.” 

Hugo stared at Penny, tilting his head slightly
