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

"I'm not getting married. O

Atlas raised his brows and glanced at his sister, who hadn't waited for anyone to settle in before dropping the bombshell. However, he didn't stop her and merely shrugged, as he would have done the same if he were in her shoes.

Old Mrs. Bennet frowned deeply. "What is the meaning of this? Penelope Bennet, do you even understand the gravity of what you're saying?"

"Atlas, did you gather all of us here to tell us that Penelope isn't getting married?" another uncle spoke in displeasure. "Didn't you say you'd come here with Penny to discuss the arrangement we had?" "Cousin," Sven chuckled mildly. "Did you tell Penny about the situation with the Ito Family?"

Sven flashed Penny a kind smile. "Penny, if your First Brother hasn't told you yet, let me summarize it for you."

After observing Penny for a moment, Sven jumped to the conclusion that she was all appearance and no substance. She had been clinging to Atlas, and someone like that typically needed protection from someone stronger. Moreover, aside from securing an internship under a renowned professor, there was nothing noteworthy about her.

All they knew was that she was studying under this professor.

But, alas, anyone could claim they were studying under a renowned professor to deceive others. After all, Penny was swapped as a baby. Her parents might have wanted to conceal the fact that their real daughter was a failure or a troublemaker.

"That is why our elders are eager to fulfill this marriage, Sven explained with a kind smile. "Do you understand now, Penny?" 2

With Sven's gentle approach, the elders calmed down.

"I know Atlas might have missed some important details, but this union is crucial, Sven-added kindly, not forgetting to drag Atlas's name into it. "We all know Atlas is very fond of you, and he's been resisting this agreement ever since it was brought up. However, no one can blame him. He's just trying to protect his little sister, after all."

Penny tilted her head to the side. "Ito Family of Ito Motors?"

"Yes, Penny. Sven nodded gently. "I'm sure you know them even if you're not involved in the business.
