Chapter 416: It's humiliating.

Meanwhile, at the Bennet Mansion, the reason Penny hadn't reached out to Zoren was because...

"Wow..." Penny's eyes twinkled as she clasped her hands together.

Standing outside the residence with her were Charles and Haines, both smiling happily at her. Their eyes shifted to the sports car that had just stopped in front of them.

"Wow..." Penny repeated in awe.

Slater stepped out of the red sports car, his lips curving upward at the sight of everyone's impressed faces.

"Hehe." Slater touched the tip of his nose, standing confidently in front of them. When his eyes landed on Penny, he smirked. "Penny, can you see my new car? It's amazing, isn't it?"

"Oh, my goodness..." Penny covered her mouth, her eyes almost teary.

Slater shook his head at his sister's expression. "I know you want to drive it, but it's brand new. How about I take you for a ride? Maybe I'll change my mind and let you..."

Vroom!

Slater trailed off at the sound of another engine approaching. His eyes shifted toward the noise, landing on a big black motorbike pulling up in front of them.

"Wow!" Penny exclaimed as she rushed to the motorbike, where Hugo was taking off his helmet. Haines and Charles followed, smiling at Penny's excitement.

"It came early!" she beamed, looking at Hugo, only to see him jerk his chin toward their father. Penny turned to Charles, her excitement uncontainable, and hugged him. "Papa! Thank you so much! I thought it would take months to arrive!"

The proud grin on Slater's face vanished. He pointed a thumb over his shoulder at his flashy sports car, opening and closing his mouth in disbelief. He had thought they were all there to admire his new car.

Who would have thought they were waiting for a mere motorbike?

Slater scrunched up his nose and huffed. "Penny! How can you ignore my new car over some motorcycle?!" He pointed a finger at them, interrupting the small celebration his family was having.

Still clinging to Charles, Penny turned her head toward Slater. Haines's smile slightly stiffened, and Hugo tilted his head at his brother.
