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

Chapter 396

Chapter 396: what did I do that you want to ban me from drinking?

Penny sat down behind the desk to start her day. But before she could truly begin, her phone started ringing. Glancing at the screen, her face twisted slightly.

It was Atlas.

"Second Brother is right," she mumbled, reaching for the phone. "It's better to get this over with rather than prolong the suffering. What a busy morning, indeed!"

With that thought, Penny took a deep breath and answered the call. The moment she put the phone to her ear, Atlas's calm, cold voice greeted her.

"Zoren Pierson," he said. "You didn't tell me your date's name is Zoren Pierson, Penelope Bennet."

Deep lines formed between her brows; this wasn't what she expected to hear. "Uh... didn't he introduce himself?"

"I heard him say Zigzag Pierson," he explained, assuming Zoren also has a speech problem.

"

How was that her fault now?

"And the Pierson family isn't the only one with the Pierson name," Atlas clarified. "How was I supposed to know your date is the head of such a complicated family?"

"Haha, First Brother," she laughed awkwardly. "I thought you'd figure it out when you heard his name. After all, aren't you supposed to know the people you shouldn't mess with?"

"He's not on that list, and he doesn't interest me."

Wow! Her First Brother was surely fearless-just like her. After all, Penny herself didn't know who Zoren Pierson was until she saw her marriage certificate. Then again, Zoren was only known in the deeper circles of the upper echelon, and even there, his name was rarely mentioned. Most articles about the Pierson Corporation focused on the company as a whole, not him.

"Well." She cleared her throat. "Now you know. How did you find out?"

'Don't tell me you saw us last night?' she thought but decided to stay on the safe side first.

"How?" Atlas raised an eyebrow. "You haven't heard?"
