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

256 Little beggar?! What happened to you!?

Starting a business with a lot of money was the easiest part for Jessa and Allison. However, everything that came after was a struggle. Fortunately, Charles was a good businessman and helped his wife and her friend through it.

Charles taught them how to run the business - even though the restaurant industry wasn't his forte, nor the type he would typically want to get involved in. He guided them in everything they needed to learn, while Jessa's husband helped with the marketing. Just like Jessa and Allison, their husbands had to market the product in the most ridiculous ways, all according to Allison's and Jessa's budget.

After a year and a half when Allison and Jessa's money was almost depleted, and they were on the brink of bankruptcy - the business finally stabilized. It may not be the most popular restaurant in the city, but it has become a place many people are familiar with and love.

[PRESENT TIME]

Penny gazed up at the sign above the door: Mama.

That was the name of Allison and Jessa's restaurant.

"It looks fancier than the last time I was here," Penny chuckled, noticing the increase in customers inside. "And it's a lot more packed too.

"It's dinnertime, so there are more people around this hour," Nina explained, watching Penny glance back at her. "They also hired me to make some changes in the restaurant, so yeah. Do you like it?" "It makes me think I hired the right person for the job."

Nina grinned proudly before the two of them entered the restaurant. They sat down at one of the vacant tables, not making a fuss since they knew everyone was busy. After placing their orders, Penny held the menu, her eyes on the server.

"Also, tell the head chef we want a discount, Penny grinned, making the waiter blush at her stunning smile,

"Ye-

yes?" The waiter lowered his head and then glanced at Nina, "Miss Nina."

Nina smiled. "Just do as she says."

But Jessa would come out here like a raging bull if he did! →

The waiter sighed heavily but didn't think much of it. He knew that Nina was the head chef's niece, whom Jessa had raised as her own daughter. Therefore, he was confident that Nina wouldn't anger her auntie without reason.

The waiter glanced at the beauty seated across from Nina before leaving them.
