Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 958

Chapter 958: Zoren Pierson is your husband?

"Hello, is your company available? I’d like to buy it."

Theo hadn’t processed Penny’s sudden appearance in their home, and she immediately blurted out something unbelievable. She sounded like she was only buying something from the public market. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

Disbelief spread across his face as he furrowed his brows, gazing at her from head to toe. Her face looked just as stunning as he remembered it from the charity event, despite being bare of makeup. But her body... it was bigger, as if she were wearing a costume underneath that school uniform he was so familiar with.

When his eyes met hers again, he blurted out, "What?"

The Next Moment

"Young Miss Bennet..." Seated in the head chair in the living room, Mister Miller looked at Penny incredulously. "You’re telling us that you’d buy our company?"

"More than its market value," Penny added with a knowing smile. "What do you say?"

Mister Miller held his breath, maintaining a neutral expression. Deep in his heart, however, there was a bubble of joy he didn’t want to entertain. Penny had come to them in the middle of the night. Even if they ignored her outfit and whatever was under that uniform, there was no formality.

"Haha!" Mrs. Miller laughed aloud before her husband or son could gather their thoughts. "Isn’t this convenient for you, Young Miss Bennet? Coming here in the middle of the night in a costume, as if you’re on a trick-or-treating adventure? Do you think the Miller Family are fools?"

"Oh." Penny briefly raised her brows and shoulders.

Mrs. Miller hissed, glaring at Penny. "Penelope Bennet, even if our family is in this situation, you have no right to come here and play us! The Miller Family has been in business as long as the Bennet Family!"

"I know that," Penny smiled again. "That’s why I’m offering this... even though its market value is no more than its debt."

"You—"

"Theo, escort your mother out."

"Husband! Why am I being escorted out not this woman?" Mrs. Miller harrumphed. "Don’t let this little witch come into our house and spew nonsense! Even if she has a company, it’s just started! Do you really think she can afford our company?"

Theo and Mister Miller’s faces darkened, slightly swayed by Mrs. Miller’s argument.

"Hah! Penelope Bennet, no matter how much recognition you get, we all know what you’re doing," Mrs. Miller snickered. "As businesspeople, it’s obvious you’ve lowered your service rates below the standard to get clients, but that doesn’t mean money is flowing in."

After saying that, Penny turned around and left the house. Mrs. Miller followed her, shouting at Penny to never show her face again. Her yelling was so loud that it reached the ears of those waiting for Penny in the car. There was a slight gap in the window to let in some cool breeze, after all.

Zoren heard the commotion and saw it as the Millers kicking his wife out of their property. Even though Penny seemed unbothered, he felt sorry for her for having to endure such "hardships" and "humiliation."

"My poor wife... how dare these people...?"

[Present Time]

Now that Theo and Mister Miller recalled what had happened the night before and reflected on the little details Penny had mentioned, Mister Miller’s grip on the paper loosened. The papers slipped from his hands and scattered on the floor.

As for Theo, his heart dropped from his chest to his gut. At one point, rumors had it that Penny married a hoodlum she met abroad, which led to her engagement with the Ito Family being canceled. The rumors suggested she had wasted her youth and bright future on such a bum.

But after everything he’d seen just now—the way Zoren looked at Penny with such affection, how Zoren claimed her lips not out of affection but as if marking his territory for everyone to see, and how Penny had free rein in Zoren’s office—only one thing became clear.

"Zoren Pierson... is your husband?" Theo’s mindless remark sounded like a gong in both his and his father’s ears. "You are... the mysterious matriarch of the Pierson Family?"
