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

Despite the buzz the bet created, Penny quickly moved on from it. It was not that she didn't understand how big of a deal that bet was, she simply couldn't care less.

Penny sat on her seat and happily took off her bag when suddenly, a small present landed on her desk.

"Huh?"

Looking up, she saw Patricia towering over her with a sweet smile. "It's my little peace offering."

"..." Penny skeptically gazed at the small box wrapped beautifully with a pink ribbon. 'Is this a glitter bomb?"

"I know we started on the wrong foot, but I chose to forgive you," Patricia magnanimously expressed.

"It's alright. I forgave you. It doesn't matter anymore." Patricia grinned. "Are we okay now?"

Penny gazed down at the little present and then up at the pretty young miss. Truthfully, Penny already knew this girl was trouble. This little act reminded her of how Nina befriended the naive young Penny in her first life.

"Okay." She nodded but then slid the gift back to Patricia. "I don't like gifts."

"But you hadn't opened it yet!" Patricia frowned. "You don't know if
