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.

But today, he had gone out of his way again.

"I don't buy that he's jealous. Tss. But he did seem worried and concerned. Is Zoren Pierson really that bad?" she murmured to herself, frowning. "Well, he has an annoying personality, but I don't see why Dean is so wary of him. *

Does he have bad eyesight? If so, then his eyesight was definitely worse than one would expect to miss a grown-up person right in front of him. Moreover, Penny didn't feel any discomfort despite the close proximity between them. Why? Because she didn't sense any malice from him.

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?"
