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

When Penny jumped into her car, she couldn't help but click her tongue in irritation. Her brief exchange with Dean annoyed her more than all the things Benjamin had said to her. Dean was truly like a splinter in her throat.

He was the only person she couldn't get rid of in her life, even if she wanted to. But thinking about it, Dean wasn't as nosy as he had been when they were new recruits on Professor Singh's team. As they grew older, he would check up on her from time to time and bother her a bit, but he wouldn't go out of his way to meddle in her business.

In other words, from her perspective, it didn't seem like Zoren Pierson was actually how other people described him.

"But then again, he had that brat for an assistant, and he could've treated me differently because I'm just a stranger." Penny shrugged nonchalantly. "Anyway..."

Penny started her car and sat upright.... where in the world should I go now until lunchtime?"
