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

my side, regardless.

"I've been on a diet and have been on constant

training. I was very hungry, so when I saw the

chocolates, I ate them."

Everyone looked at Hugo with surprise.

"What?!" Slater quickly snapped out of his shock,

gazing at his big brother with disbelief. "You're the one

who ate them!?"

Nina pursed her lips. "Second brother, are you sure they're the same chocolates?"

Nina knew that it was Penny by heart. Hugo was known for his dedication and discipline. They had

never seen him cheat, and he had always been upright. Their parents couldn't even make him eat if he was fasting.

"Yes, they're the same chocolates." Hugo picked up one of the wrappers and examined it closely. "They're

yummy."

"Second brother! Are you trying to cover for Penny!?"

Slater frowned deeply, unable to accept this.

Just like Nina, he was so sure Penny was the one who ate his precious sweets. He glared at Penny, infuriated that she was making Hugo lie for her!

Butler Jen was also surprised upon hearing Hugo's confession.

As for Penny, she gazed at Hugo with a conflicted look. 'Is he standing up for me?'

This wasn't the first time Hugo covered for her. In their first life, he did it once. But alas, he wasn't very pleased by it because he had to lie. After that, he slowly

detached himself from her.

Thinking about it, there was this sense of heaviness in

her heart.

Just when I thought we were about to get along...' she thought, sighing.

"Second Brother, thank -"
