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

Chapter 470: definitely not time for this.

Clack.

Zoren knitted his brows as his smile stiffened, hearing the call drop. "Did she hang up on me?" he wondered, reaching for his phone.

For a moment, he was mystified. He had only been teasing her, but it seemed his words had flustered her so much that she chose to end the call. A faint breath escaped him as he shrugged. The drunken Penny was wilder than the sober one, but both amused him equally.

"She's going to live with me soon," he mused, smiling at the thought.

With that in mind, Zoren turned to wash up. Just as he did, he caught sight of his black panther and the cat sitting on top of it, both looking in his direction. He squinted, trying to make sense of their expressions, but couldn't quite read them.

What he didn't know was that Chunchun and Renny were already on high alert, watching him closely to protect their "mother." Renny, in particular, wasn't eager for a new "cub" in the house, and Chunchun was just there to support her brother.

"Penny will live with us soon," Zoren said to them with a smile. "Things will get better."

That wasn't their concern.

After saying his piece, Zoren walked toward the bathroom. Before he could reach

it, there was a knock on the door. He paused and turned. "What is it?"

Slowly, the door opened, and Angel stepped inside, maintaining his upright posture.

"Sir, that guy is awake now," Angel reported. "What are your plans for him?"

Zoren pressed his lips together in thought. It wasn't as if he had forgotten about Nathaniel's presence. His men had gone to great lengths to bring that man here. Yet, despite Nathaniel's proposal, Zoren remained reluctant to trust him.

A man like Nathaniel was a dangerous ally. He couldn't be trusted. Zoren had long learned that trust, when misplaced, could be fatal. They were still investigating how much Nathaniel knew about Penny, especially given that they had known about her long before; it was how Patricia had attempted to copy her.
