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

357 I changed my mind. Meanwhile...

The bachelor's party had a pool party theme and was held in a penthouse in one of the most popular buildings in Anteca for such occasions. Even before Penny and Hugo reached the penthouse, they had encountered quite a few people along the way.

Hugo didn't seem to know the people they were bumping into, but Penny recognized a few familiar faces. Not that she knew them personally, but if someone's face was often in the news, she had no choice but to be familiar with it. After all, the soon-to-be groom was a well-respected basketball player in the major league. So, it was no surprise that his guests for this bachelor party were a mix of all genders. "Keep close to me, Hugo said, tilting his head back slightly to whisper to her.

Penny raised her brows and glanced at him. "I won't wander off."

*I know, but you might get snatched, he reasoned. "My little sister is such a steal that I'm afraid they'd be in trouble."

Her face twitched as she forced a smile. "Why did he even invite me here? It's not like I'm going to Ray's ceremony."

Even so, this party somewhat helped her, as otherwise, she would be preoccupied with Zoren's meeting with Patricia.

Penny stayed close to her brother from behind, peeking over to his side as they entered. She smacked her lips, taking in the sight of numerous people in swimsuits or trunks. Although a few were "overdressed" for the party, Penny didn't mind. "Penny!"

As they were heading inside the penthouse, Penny and Hugo stopped upon hearing a woman's call. Turning their heads, they saw a petite woman with large eyeglasses, her short hair tied in a ponytail, with the excess falling freely from the side of her face. Penny narrowed her eyes, watching the woman skip toward them. "Ginnie?" she blurted out before her face brightened up. "Ginnie!"

"Penny-!" As soon as Ginnie reached Penny, she threw her arms open and jumped into Penny's embrace. "Penny, I missed you so, so, so much! I missed you! I missed you! I'm so happy you came! When I heard you were coming, I had to fight my way into this party! Fortunately, Senior Hugo told me about it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have even told me out of spite!"

Ginnie continued to bombard Penny with information that she wasn't quite prepared for. Even so, Penny chuckled and rubbed her friend's back.

"Ginnie," she said, pulling slightly away. "Why would they do that out of spite?"
