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

147 Stuff bear for tears and snot

Normally, once they come home from school, the children would go to their rooms to change and rest until dinner. Atlas would be studying while Hugo would take a short nap. As for Slater, he would just be in his room.

But tonight, even before dinner, the family was in the family room just to talk about anything. Of course, what happened in the school was brought up. It was more about the crazy fans and Ray, though. The boys didn't want to talk about Nina because it would only ruin the mood.

When Butler Jen called for them, they had dinner together. Haines was already in the dining when they arrived, and together with Haines, they continued their casual chats.

"Uncle Haines, did you also come to school today? Penny asked out of nowhere, making Haines's brows elevatc.

"Yes," Haines answered, sparing her with the other details. "Why are you asking?"

Penny pursed her lips before her eyes squinted. "Did you meet my homeroom teacher, Uncle?" "Miss Sandford?"

"Yes"

"Of course." Haines nodded with a smile. "You're right. She's a kind person."

Penny observed Haines's expression and was secretly in dismay. How could his uncle talk about Miss Sandford as if he didn't have any appreciation for her beauty or character?

'Uncle Haines really is like a wall,' she wept inwardly. I thought if he met Miss Sandford, she would be able to dazzle him! I don't want him to become an old bachelor!

Unaware of what was going on inside Penny's mind, Haines tilted his head a little to the side. "Why are you asking Penny? Don't worry. I already told her that the next time she let some bullies pass without taking any action, she'll have to quit the school."

"..." Penny gasped in dismay, wide-eyed. 'Nooo!!!!

Even the devil on Penny's shoulder wept as they watched Haines's love life grow wings and fly away.

Unlike Penny's woes, the boys were pleased to hear Haines's timely action. Charles also nodded in satisfaction.

"Haines, Miss Sandford tried her best to give Penny justice, she expressed as she understood. Miss Sandford's dilemma. "The headmaster has already given us notice. We'll see if they'd stop this bullying in school because if not..."

The gentle Allison, for the first time, showed sharpness. "I will not forgive them even if the headmaster apologizes on his knees."

Penny let out a helpless sigh and mentally shook her head. She knew her family was simply
