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

119 Expectation and reality

Penny's plans for the day were... nothing.

Nina was coming home, and she wanted to give Slater a short break to bond with her. They were the closest, and she didn't want to be the villain in their story.

"The world needs to see how great my daughter is!" Charles declared. "If you need more posters, just tell me! I got it handled:

"Dad, Penny isn't campaigning for any government position, Atlas frowned, only to feel this intense gaze from Penny. Glancing at her, he arched a brow. Is she rooting for me to stop them?

Atlas pondered about it before the corner of his lips curled up mischievously. "But the club will keep that in mind." a

'Does he have a grudge against me?' Penny's face blanked and noticed the mischievous and brief smirk on her first brother.
