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

Chapter 468

Chapter 468: I'm sorry, Penny.

Just this morning, Penny told herself that, as much as possible, she didn't want to compare her past to her present life. She had changed, and so had everyone else. However, tonight, she couldn't help it.
