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

202 Oh, no, he didn't! Was she ready?

The headmaster's words got stuck in Penny's mind and it kept playing along in her head even after her conversation with him. Walking through the hallway back to her building, her steps were slow and her eyes were cast down.

"How come I am not ready? I was prepared for this since infancy, she mumbled, recalling that she made ten backup plans if ever she couldn't change her fate and still ended up in the mansion that neglected her in the previous lifetime. 2

But deep in her heart, it wasn't the headmaster's questions that resonated with her, but the feeling she felt at the thought.

The plans Penny made back when she was an infant were all based on her previous life. Although there were still some events that didn't change and reoccurred in this life, many people around her changed one way or another.

Starting from Haines's overstay in the country, her brothers' change, Nina's unofficial redemption, and everything! Her friends, Grace, the school, her pets, and even her size! Name it, a lot of things changed. Looking back, it was very far from the life she used to have.

It was very different.

'It wouldn't be a stretch to call that... I'm currently living the dream I once had,' she thought and sighed deeply. 'But even so, I still want to leave because I don't want to stay like this forever."

Penny had a lot of plans and wanted to do things that she couldn't do in her previous life. She didn't know if she had another spare life, but in this lifetime, she promised to not only live it on her own terms, but she would also live to the fullest explore and have fun. If all was good, she wanted to marry early and have a family of her own.

That was the original plan.

But somehow, a small part of her heart was a little reluctant.

"Where is this reluctance coming from?" she whispered, her steps stopping as she caught at crowd at the wide space at the end of the hallway. "Hmm? What's going on? Is there a fight?" She blinked, her curiosity earned. With her nosy persona taking charge, Penny approached and. her face twisted the closer she was.
