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

64 Blood is thicker than water

The next day, Penny was up early despite staying late tutoring Slater. She stayed with him almost all night to make sure he at least understood the lesson. It would be more efficient if he understood one lesson per subject every session. In that case, they could move forward easily.

Still in her pajamas, Penny carried a pad of paper and headed straight to Slater's room. Her body had grown accustomed to staying up late and waking up early since purchasing her laptop, but she wasn't sure of Slater.

"Knock knock!" Penny announced as she knocked on the door. "Slat

- Third Brother, time to wake up!"

Penny knocked a few times and when no one answered, she gazed up at the door.

'Don't blame me for being ruthless. Penny took a step back and kicked the door open.

The door opened with a bang, waking up Slater in an instant.

"Who's there!? I'm innocent! Please don't kill me!" he jumped on the bed, still half dreaming, half awake. 2

"Goodness... what kind of dream were you having?" Penny

scrunched up her nose, gazing at the dried drool on the corner of his mouth and his messy bed hair. She stood beside the bed and tossed a pad of paper to him.

"I want answers to those questions after breakfast," she said in a commanding tone. "So no, you can't sleep more until you earn it. Chop chop." (2

After saying that, Penny quickly skipped away to start her morning.

Her brother, on the other hand, just stared at her helplessly. "Penny, close the door tss. She didn't close it."

Another deep sigh escaped Slater as he felt like his bed was pulling him down for an embrace. He usually sleeps more during the weekends, since it is his only time to relax and recover from all the bullying. But now, he also had to wake up early on the weekend because he had to study.

"How does First and Second brother do this?" he mumbled as his eyes inevitably landed on the pad of paper on his lap. "She'll kill me
