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

163 Parenting

Since the establishment of Penny's fan club, most members have been busy even at weekends. Lily wanted to keep the momentum and thus, she was hosting a charity event on the weekend. Although not every member participated due to a variety of reasons, the ones who signed up were enough to support the cause.

Allison gazed down on her board, and she took minutes to finish chopping some

carrots. When she was done, she turned to Jessa. Her small bowl of chopped vegetables was akin

to an ant compared to Jessa's output.
