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

Chapter 131

131 Penny's pain in Nina's shoes

[Short Flashback]

Atlas sat quietly in the backseat of the car, reading a newspaper in his hand. After the long wait, the other door opened and Hugo, still in his uniform, jumped inside.

"You're late," said Atlas emotionlessly as he glanced at his brother.

"There's a delay in the flight

"I see.

Silence quickly followed Atlas's remarks while the car started moving away from the airport. For

a good five minutes, neither of them spoke. Hugo glanced at his brother, who didn't seem he have any intention of saying or asking anything.

"I heard about the crisis the company had gone through," Hugo broached. "Penny helped?"

Atlas paused and slowly peeled his eyes from the newspaper to the window. "I didn't want her to, but she did anyway."

"You should chase her away fiercer in the future."

"You think I'm not doing that already?"

"I'm just saying." Hugo shrugged and turned to the window on his side. "She's already working a lot with her research. The company matters aren't supposed to be something she'd concern herself with."

Atlas frowned and felt slightly irritated. "Do you think I never told her not to meddle? You know her. If only she could, she would even volunteer to be in your squad just to help you as well. She's a real headache"

Both brothers stared at the side of their windows, and silence quickly filled in the air. Hugo didn't retort at Atlas's argument, because he knew that would be something Penny would do if only she had the chance.

Their sister, after all, would do anything for them, even if they never asked to the point it beyond annoying.
