Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 274

274 Try me 

Nina’s romance slightly worried Penny because her last memory of Finn wasn’t good. However, that was twelve years ago. Twelve years is a long time for someone to change; Nina changed. Penny had met so many people along the way, and they weren’t the same as how she 

remembered them

Penny, for instance, wasn’t the same as she knew herself twelve years ago, nor was she the same. as she was in her previous life

Nina wouldn’t fall for someone like Finn if he was still as narcissistic as he used to beright

AhhI shouldn’t think about that.Penny shook her head as she rummaged through her closet. for a change of clothes. Nina is a smart woman. Besides, I have my own problems with somemarital affairs.” 

Her brothers were probably worried about Nina’s engagement because she was still their family. Their reaction to the thought of Penny dating was scary. Hence, it was understandable. Their worries were natural because Nina was the first to marry

With that thought in mind, Penny quickly changed into casual and comfortable attire. She didn’t have any plans for today, so she was planning to visit her mom and aunt’s restaurant to help out. But as soon as she finished dressing, she paused and picked up her phone

He still hasn’t reached out,” she whispered, checking her last text exchange with Zoren. Did something happen to him?” 

Penny pursed her lips as she squinted

She had learned her lesson about rushing things not long ago

Tomorrow was the day Penny’s bodyguards would start at Pierson Corporation under Zoren Pierson. Therefore, Penny didn’t think much about Zoren or anything related to him. They would meet eventually, anyway

But he should’ve at least reached out to discuss our divorce, right?she furrowed her brows and tilted her head to the side. Yet, there’s no word from him. Not even from his assistant. Though his team is cooperating with the Prime Group.” 

Penny bit her lip and hesitated, noticing that he hadn’t responded when she asked him if he had 

visited the Civil Bureau

[To: Mr. Pierson 

Good day, Mr. Pierson. I haven’t heard from you in a while since I asked

Her thumb stopped typing, and she ended up deleting the entire message

Never mind,she shrugged and tossed her phone onto the vanity desk. I can ask him 

tomorrow.” 

She only needed to wait for a day..

What was the rush

Penny sat down in front of the vanity mirror to apply some skincare before leaving. But as she spread sunscreen on her face, her eyes instinctively fell on her phone

He’s not dead, is he?she wondered, thinking about his poor health and deteriorating vision. I skimmed through his medical files, so I know how unlucky he is.” 

A grunt escaped through her clenched teeth as she picked up her phone and sent him a quick 

message

[To: Mr. Pierson 

Good day, Mr. Pierson. This is Penelope. I’m sending this not as a part of the Prime Group, but as someone who is in the same plight as you

Did you visit the Civil Bureau?

Penny sent the message as quickly as possible, so she wouldn’t end up deleting it

Goodness,” she huffed. If he says no, I’ll drag him to the Civil Bureau tomorrow. I’d do it even if I had to kick that fussy assistant of his.” 

DING

[From: Mr. Pierson 

Yes.

Penny’s eyebrows rose as she somehow waited for another reply. The last time they exchanged messages, he was sending one or two words per message. Therefore, she was expecting a followup message after this

But nothing

That’s it?she frowned and quickly replied

[To: Mr. Pierson 

Did you see your marital status?

DING

[From: Mr. Pierson 

Yes.

Penny paused as she studied the message, arms crossed underneath her chest. Was that a reply to the first question? Or the second one too? It looks like a double send to me.” 

No, wait. If he visited the Civil Bureau and saw his marital status, he should’ve known that we’re married, right?she whispered, though her eyes were still filled with confusion. Then why hasn’t he reached out? I was expecting that once his assistant found out, they would quickly call their lawyers to draft a divorce agreement.” 

Penny assumed Zoren would ask his most trusted men- Benjamin -to read the marriage

certificate for him. The man couldn’t see, after all. However, no matter how she racked her brain to get to a conclusion, nothing logical came to mind. Therefore, she chose the shortcut

[To: Mr. Pierson 

As someone who is in the same plight as you, can I call to discuss this important matter?

Zoren’s previous response was quick, but this time, it took him a full three minutes to reply. 

DING

[From: Mr. Pierson 

No.

[To: Mr. Pierson 

Can I ask when you’re free so we can discuss the resolution to this matter?

Again, Penny waited for his response. He was probably checking his schedule. Someone like him should be very busy. Hence, she waited patiently

DING

[From: Mr. Pierson

Sure.

Huh?her face twisted in disbelief. Sure, what?” 

Was he still having trouble with the texttospeech

DING

[From: Mr. Pierson 

Miss Penelope, I know this matter is important. However, I’ve found myself in a different plight due to my own carelessness. Therefore, I cannot discuss the resolution until it’s resolved. I hope you can understand. I’m sorry.

Ohwowso he can send more than oneword messages, huh?her face contorted as she read the message again. Her expression grew solemn, reminded of all the accidents that had happened to Zoren in the 

past few years
