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

Chapter 454: Her most dangerous poison

Meanwhile...

"Why, you—" Atlas glared daggers at Penny, who was seated in the passenger seat. Penny lowered her head, looking at her brother like a pitiful child afraid of getting smacked.

Atlas took a deep breath and calmed himself, gazing at the photo on his phone. Since Penny hadn't brought anything with her last night, she had to use his phone to get a copy of her marriage license. If she hadn't, Atlas would have gone to the Civil Bureau himself. Well, they were already in front of it.

"Why..." he breathed out, running his tongue along his inner cheek as he stared at the copy of the certificate on his phone. Slowly, he cast her a look of disbelief again. "Why didn't you tell me about this when you got married?"

Penny pouted. "I didn't know, okay?! I was just as shocked as you are right now! To make matters worse, I didn't get my money back from the guy who was supposed to marry me! Do you think I'd spend that much money if I knew?!"

"You—" Atlas stopped, feeling his neck tighten. He clasped his nape, tilting his head back as he tried to keep his temper in check. His sister was giving him an early onset of hypertension at this point.

How could she have gotten married?!

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath to calm himself. It wasn't as though he didn't understand how she ended up married. At least Zoren had the decency to explain the situation, unlike this troublemaker of a little sister.

Penny pressed her lips together, hoping her brother had calmed down a bit. But when he reopened his eyes, she flinched as he cast her another deadly glare.

"You..." Atlas hissed, at a loss for words. "You really are going to be the death of me."
