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

97 Leave her alone

After saying her piece, Penny went straight to the school infirmary where Lily and Ginnic went. When she arrived, the two girls were murmuring to each other. As soon as she saw Penny's figure from the corner of their eyes, they perked up.

"Penny, is everything okay?" Ginnie jumped out of her scat while Penny approached.

Lily's eyes also swirled with unspoken worry. "Penny, did you confront Ray?"

Penny didn't answer until she sat down beside the bed. "Mhm. I warned him."

The two girls looked at each other before casting their worried eyes on her.

"It's fine now." Penny smiled. "If they pull this stunt again, that would be their last: she would tear down the entire star section.

"Penny..." Lily reached out to Penny, making the latter raise her brows. "I don't think Ray knew about this. I'm not hurt, and that's more important."

"What if next time, you'll get hurt?" Ginnie blurted out, covering her mouth when she realized she had spoken so suddenly.

"Ginnie is right," Penny nodded. "You didn't get hurt that much, but what if we're not so lucky next time? The pranks they pulled on me are silly, so I don't mind. In all honesty, it was in a way fun. But they crossed the line today"

Penny paused as she recalled Ray's reaction. "Also, I know that guy is probably silly, but I also know that this wasn't his order. Even so, since he has a fans club, he should at least influence

his fans to behave themselves."

It wasn't like Penny came to Ray because she thought it was his order. She knew it wasn't. However, if there were someone those die-hard fans would listen to, that would be Ray. So Penny took the quickest way to deal with them.
