Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1841

Chapter 1841: Slumber Party

It took almost three days for everyone on the island to leave and contact the outside world. This was mainly due to the strange reception on the island. Their only contact was Yugi, who communicated with his father in a unique, coded way.

But Yugi had no time to inform everyone. After all, he had to connect the Anteca government with the situation and then fix the Prime Group’s current problems involving market manipulation.

So, after almost three days without a word from them, they were expecting quite a lot upon their return.

Riding in a van provided to them, Charles drew a deep breath as the gates of their home opened. With him were Atlas, Slater, Penny, and Zoren. Hugo would stay strapped in at the hospital in the city; the guy simply didn’t know the meaning of "staying put."

"Uh..." Penny smiled nervously, seated in the front row with her father, while her brothers stayed in the back with her husband.

She turned to Charles, wearing her sweetest smile. "Dad, I told you my husband and I should just go straight home. You know, Chunchun and Blacky probably miss us."

Charles kept his lips drawn into a thin line, slowly sliding his eyes to the corner. A part of him wanted to give in to his precious daughter, but then again...

He smiled—the kind of smile a schemer would give to the person they were planning to scam. "My beautiful princess, after everything that’s happened, it’s best if we just go home together and be grateful that we’re all coming here together."

"..." Penny’s mouth quivered as the corners of her eyes reddened.

She shot everyone in the back a look, only to see Slater sporting a mocking expression. Atlas looked away to avoid her gaze. As for Zoren, he looked at his wife apologetically.

"How come Uncle Haines gets to go somewhere else?" she grumbled, looking away from them, sulking in her seat.

For some reason, the van they were in drove like a snail on the Bennet Mansion’s driveway. As the front of the mansion came closer, Penny and Charles stretched their necks, their eyes fixed on the windshield.

Their faces quickly paled, and their eyes shook.

There, standing on the porch, were Allison, Butler Jen, and Nina. The three angels in this household whose patience wider than the gap between heaven and earth. But right now, Allison had her arms crossed, tapping her feet irritably as if growing more upset about how the van was moving even slower than it should.

Butler Jen, on the other hand, stood beside her. His usually warm smile was gone, replaced by a cold frown.

As for Nina, she was just staring at their vehicle with mixed emotions.

And seeing this, Penny and Charles had a strong sense of déjà vu. Their faces twisted, and after a second, Penny reached out to the door to jump out. Heck! She’d rather go home for now and come back once her mother and Butler Jen calmed down. She could coax Nina, but that woman could be brutal sometimes when she wanted to be.

But just as she moved, Charles moved just as fast.

Holding the back of her collar, fire blazed in his eyes as an evil smile spread across his face. "Penny, you’re not going anywhere."

"..." She pressed her quivering lips into a thin line, looking back at her father with teary eyes.

"Ha... ha..." For some reason, Charles let out a slow, villainous laugh. "You’re not just a kid anymore, Penny. So, help your father out this time."

Hearing that, her breath hitched as she was reminded of that night over a decade ago. The night the father and daughter snuck out, only to go home with Haines, Butler Jen, and Allison waiting for them. Back then, Penny threw her father under the bus, using the excuse of, "But I’m just a kid."

And here she thought Atlas’ vengeful nature was an anomaly, but it was now clear where he got that vengeful nature of his!

Her lips quivered as dramatic tears welled in the corners of her eyes. "NO!!"

But even as she struggled, her brothers helped their father keep her strapped in her seat to face the same wrath they were coming home to.
