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

Slater huffed and tossed the laundry on top of the washing machine. Picking up the detergents, he couldn't help but recall Penny's words."

"Does she really eat while sleeping?" What she said left a huge question mark on his mind. "She must be kidding. There's no way she will still eat while sleeping."

And he was correct. Penny usually stayed up at night to study the market flow, despite already having clear ideas on where to invest her money.

"Never mind." He shook his head and grabbed the uniform. His expression gradually turned somber while holding the uniform in front of him. "How many washes would it need to get rid of the smell and dirt?" Because of what was happening in school, Slater would graduate from the school of laundry before his

real school.

He sighed, crumpling up the fabric to throw it in the machine. But just bore he could, a hand swiftly snatched the balled fabric from his hand.

"Pe Penny?!" Slater gasped the moment he saw the person who snatched the uniform. "What are you doing here?! I said I don't need your help."

He tried to grab his uniform back, but Penny timely backed away. This immediately filled him with irritation and nervousness.

"I said give it back -" Slater froze when she suddenly aired the uniform, revealing all-the shoe prints and dirt on it.

Penny held the uniform up until it was blocking his gaze from her. "Third brother, what are these?"

"Huh?" His mouth opened and closed, but his words

wouldn't come out of his throat.

When Penny put down the uniform, she indifferently asked, "Did you try to make a cake in your school?"

A cake?

Slater's eyes veered to the uniform before he nodded vigorously. "Yes! Our school has a cooking class, and I ended up ruining mine! Hehe." He then quickly snatched the uniform back from her. Holding it close to his chest, Slater cleared his throat

"Do you also make a cake with your shoes?" she returned innocently, and he froze. "There's clearly a few shoe prints on it. So, unless a shoe is an ingredient, that will explain it." Nina would usually believe him when he said this. After all, Penny wasn't the first person who found out about his dirty uniforms. Nina caught him one time, but he managed to fool her. @ Slater's stress level skyrocketed at the thought that
