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

273 That sadistic sociopath.

Days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Penny's first week home was quite eventful with random things. There were days when Hugo or Slater would ambush her especially Slater for some attention. Other than that, there wasn't anything significant, as Penny found herself preoccupied with setting up her office and also, helping the main branch so they could deploy the men she needed for their new clients.

For this reason, she didn't think much when she didn't hear from Zoren again.

"Right, Penny, will you go?"

Seated on the green landscape of the mansion after a morning jog with Hugo, the latter's voice snapped her back to the present moment. Penny looked up with Chunchun in her arms. "Huh?" she hummed. "Go where, Second Brother?"

"I told you the other day, didn't I?" Hugo tilted his head, thinking he had mentioned it as she was leaving home for her office. "There's a reunion at the Summit School of Excellence and then a bachelor party for one of my teammates from the school basketball team. I told them you were back, and they're excited to meet you"

Her lips formed a circle as she rocked her head. "Oh, that's what you were talking about. I've been quite busy these days. Sorry. I didn't catch that."

"It's okay." He chuckled. "No big deal.

"But why am I invited to the reunion?" she asked. "My graduating batch wasn't even my classmates.

Moreover, Penny hadn't even attended her graduation because she had left the country.

"Because you were a legend in school?" Hugo quipped, laughing when her face quickly turned sour. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. The reunion is more like a casual meet-up of their alumni. They call it a reunion, but it's really just a party for the new headmaster." "Oh, Penny nodded. "Well, I guess it's about time for a new headmaster."

"It's Ray."

"Ah?"

Hugo shrugged. "Ray is the new headmaster."
