Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

20 Growing hatred, jealousy, and inferiority

During the meal, Haines and Charles couldn't contain their excitement. Penny thought since she

indifferently brushed it off, they would drop it. T

Allison usually didn't like this type of conversation at the table, but she made an exception this time. This also made her proud of Penny. The rest of the kids had to listen, though the older children couldn't help but inquire as it earned their intrigue.

The only one who wasn't happy with it was Penny... and Nina. It was hard to feign a deaf ear when they were almost shouting about it in front of her ear. If only Penny knew this would happen, she would've

been extra discreet!

Why was Nina so nosy?!

Nina was also not pleased with how things turned out. She was trying to put Penny in a difficult position, but it only ended with everyone praising her that heaven could even hear them!

O casing hatred, jualmusy and anerkanty

After breakfast, Haines showed Charles the files Penny made last night.

Charles was stunned.

"I know it's good news when you said Penny resolved the issue, but this..."

Haines nodded like a proud father. "That's not all. Look at this." He then clicked a few stuff on the keyboard, showing Charles some side notes she left.

"She even provided some legal notes?" Charles's mouth fell open. "This is unbelievable!"

The notes were short but precise. It involved some legal issues that needed to be taken note of since a project as big as this would need a lot of legal work. Charles was speechless. He mindlessly drifted to the armchair nearby, still couldn't wrap his head around this.

"Are you sure Penny did this?" he couldn't believe it. "Haines, this is... this is great."

"It is more than great, Charles!" Haines exclaimed, only to notice the dwindling mood in the air. "Why? What's wrong?" "Nothing" Charles shook his head.

But Haines couldn't just think that was nothing. Hence, he sat down opposite him and looked at him curiously.

Seeing that look on Haines's face, Charles sighed heavily.

"Professor Singh told me Penny is a genius, and he

wanted to nurture her while she's young. It seems Penny wanted to finish college early. With her abilities, she might do that." "Oh?" Haines was taken aback. "Isn't that great,

Charles?"

"It is."

"Then what seems to be the problem?"

Charles sighed once more and glanced at the
