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

229 Penny's departure

Weeks had passed and Penny had already finished the countless exams she had to take. After the exams, she only had to wait for a few more weeks. While waiting, Penny would come to support Jessa in her competition with Allison.

"Timer starts... now!"

As soon as the judge of the show announced, every contestant in the show quickly went to the ingredients at the back to get whatever they would need for their dish.

Today was the first filming of the first episode of the show. Jessa managed to get in after winning all the previous rounds to be an official candidate.

On the sidelines, Penny and Allison watched intently. But unlike Allison, who was at the edge of her scat, Penny couldn't help but smile.

The world is actually round, huh?' Penny thought while watching Jessa start preparing fiercely. 'Not long ago, it was Aunt Jessa, who is on the sidelines while I compete. But now... the roles are reversed.' In her previous life, Jessa's only habit was gambling and making Penny's life hard.

Jessa changed and continued to do so even without Penny in the household.

Turning her head, Penny smiled subtly upon seeing the nervous look on Allison's face. 'And I hope Mom will also change. Although she's already a good person, I hope she does something for herself."

After all, Allison had poured her heart and soul into her children. No one would point it out because Allison came from a well-off family and her husband was a wise businessman. However, no one knew that as an individual, Allison didn't have a life outside of her children.

Penny hoped that with Jessa's change, Allison would also want to achieve something as an individual. Of course, that was only Penny's opinion. But if her mother was already happy being the way she was, it was also alright.

Allison was already perfect as a housewife. She may be imperfect as an individual, but she was trying her best to be the mother her children needed.

'Although I might not be able to see the finals... my heart is at ease. Her smile stretched as she set her eyes on the set again. I'm not leaving with a heavy heart."

And right now, the strange feeling she carried when asked if she was ready was gone.

This time, Penny was certain she was ready to close this chapter of her life and start anew.
