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

130 Ray's numbered hours

In the library, Penny glanced at Hugo and then at Atlas. What her brothers spewed toward their grandparents was rude, and they knew it. It was something they would never do in their first

"First brother! I am a very diligent student!" Penny gasped defensively.

Atlas arched a brow. "Do you do your notes?"

Penny's silence was enough for an answer.
