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

Penny touched the side of her head as she sauntered to her bed. She could still feel Hugo's warm hand from it. The side of her lips curled up, but when she realized it, she slapped herself awake. @ "What am I so happy about?" she muttered, jumping on the edge of the bed. "I only stood up for him because it's the right thing to do."

She didn't get along well with her brothers in her previous life, but she knew Hugo. She also knew how hurtful it was for him for Slater to say such words. After all, she had been in that situation before. "Goodness, that kid. I only argued with him for a few minutes, and I feel tired." Penny collapsed on her back and bounced on the soft bed.

She already did all of her plans for the day and she felt like taking a nap. But when she closed her eyes, she was reminded of something.

In her first life, Penny didn't care much about money.

She focused more on the titles, achievements, and reputations - something that would make her family proud. She did it solely for the reason she wanted her brothers to see her, to accept her, and to be a real member of their family. It was the reason she ended up getting two Ph.D. However, even her best wasn't enough.

In this life, she understood money was an important thing. If she wanted to move out early, she had to make sure she could survive on her own and on her

own terms. What was the use of having this second chance in life if she worked multiple part-time jobs just to survive?
