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

Chapter 438: What seems to be the problem, my love?

"Die!" Penny froze when she felt a cold hand clamp down on hers, stopping her. Her right brow arched as she glanced over her shoulder. "Tss."

A hiss escaped her, clearly displeased by the interruption. A deadly glint flickered

Penny laughed wickedly. "Boss?" she hissed, assuming the man holding her was Nathaniel's boss. "Very well."
