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

Chapter 453: Mystery solved...?

"Penny, can I see your marriage license?"

Six words were all it took for Penny to know she was in deep trouble. Her nervous smile faltered, and after a heartbeat, she bolted to run away. But alas...

Atlas smirked, having anticipated this. He tightened his grip on the back of her collar, nearly choking her in the process.

Penny skidded, her feet moving forward while the upper part of her body was being left behind. "Ack!"

He pulled her back while taking a step forward, tilting his head slightly to the side, his eyes fixed on her. The proud look on his face was evident. After many times she snuck away right before his eyes, he would be a fool to not have anticipated one or ten things she would do.

"Can I?" he asked politely, smiling from ear to ear until his eyes looked like they were nearly slits.

Penny smiled helplessly at him.

Meanwhile, Zoren, seated in the backseat of the car, turned to the window.

"Sir, should we go?" Angel asked from the front passenger seat, glancing back at Zoren. "Miss Penny is still inside. She followed us."

Zoren smiled. "I know," he chuckled, amused that Penny's own best man was giving her away. But then again, right now, Angel's boss and priority was Zoren and not Penny. It was part of their code and contract. "Atlas Bennet caught her." freewebnovel.com

Zoren couldn't help but laugh as he thought about how they discovered Penny. It wasn't because they saw her at the restaurant. No, it was far more amusing than that. They found her out because when Zoren told Atlas that he had left Penny at his place, Atlas had confidently replied that Penny wouldn't stay home.

She was never the type to wait. Her patience was nonexistent.
