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

Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Hold my popcorn

After Penny's quick visit to the prison, she briefly reflected on the exchange she'd had with her brother's attacker. However, by the time she reached her office, she didn't think much of it anymore. She had already gotten what she wanted.

While questioning the man and riling him up, Penny had obtained the answers she was after. All she really wanted to know was how and why the man claimed Slater had killed him. Though she didn't get a full explanation, she had her suspicions.

It was likely one of two things: either Slater and the man had made an agreement, and Slater betrayed him, or the man had betrayed Slater, forcing him to defend himself. Either way, it didn't matter anymore.

Letting out a shallow breath, Penny glanced at the couch in her office. "Third Brother, are you really planning to stay here all day until I go home?" she asked the person lounging on it.

When she arrived at the office, Slater was already there, waiting with packed lunches for her.

Slater lazily cast her a look. "Penny, are you kicking me out?"

"No, I'm just wondering if you have any other plans."

"Nope. I don't have work." He sighed, turning his attention back to his phone. "Penny, I'm so bored. Let's go do something fun."

"Do you think we're kids and that I don't have responsibilities? Can't you see this mountain of paperwork? Even with Dad and Uncle Haines helping me, it's still not enough."

Slater glanced at the stack of papers on her desk before looking away. "K."

Penny pressed her lips together, resting her chin in her hands as she continued to watch her third brother. 'He isn't used to having nothing to do anymore, huh?'

A subtle smile crept onto her face as she stared at Slater longer than she had intended. After her encounter with the man who had tried to stab Slater, she felt a renewed sense of gratitude. If she hadn't returned with the memories of her previous life, this third brother could have ended up in the hospital-or worse, dead.
