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

Chapter 637: My protector

Penny blinked multiple times, staring at her husband with a blank expression. Zoren's face remained neutral despite just dropping a bombshell on her. It took her a moment to gasp, jumping up on her bean bag, looking at him in disbelief.

"What did you say?" she gasped again. "Finn Davis... is on your side?"

Zoren nodded, blinking ever so tenderly. "I put him in Dean's office."

"..." Again, Penny was rendered speechless, placing a hand on her chest. It would be a lie to say she expected this. However, she didn't. She knew Zoren was capable and had control over the Pierson Corporation and the Pierson Family, but this was not the control she anticipated.

Today, she saw her husband in a new light.

Dean often warned her about Zoren, telling her all sorts of things. Although she didn't disregard them, it seemed Dean's warnings carried more meaning and weight now.

Anteca was Zoren's territory. He proved that when the nightclub where the fight occurred was closed down the next morning, and the owner was suddenly tied to a troublesome controversy. Now, Finn, whose very existence had been troubling her since yesterday, turned out to be reporting to Zoren.

"Oh, my goodness..." she trailed off, covering her slightly gaping mouth, her eyes wide with shock. "Really?"

Zoren nodded. "You were honest about everything," he reasoned. "So I thought it was only right to tell you this. Or was it too early for me to say it?"

"No, no." Penny waved her hand, shaking her head. "Tell me. What's the relationship between the two of you? I mean, I need to know the full context of this."
