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

Chapter 678: Who are?

Penny and Mark were rendered speechless, looking at Zoren with the same disbelief. Meanwhile, Zoren maintained a small smile, as if he was expecting something good tonight.

"Ahem!" Penny cleared her throat and took a step back, withdrawing her arms from Zoren. Her action brought lines between Zoren's brows.

"Penny?" Zoren called, confused. "Why are you stepping back?"

"Renren, we need to talk."

"Okay." He nodded, keeping quiet for a moment as he assessed her tone. "We're okay?"

"Yes, of course, we are." Penny smiled reassuringly. "It's just that I have some questions, and I need to discuss this... with Mark present."

This time, it was Mark who furrowed his brows. He pointed at himself and blurted out, "Me?"

"Yes." Penny turned around, sauntering back to the couch. "Let's sit down first, and later, we might need Angel's presence as well."

Upon saying that, Penny turned back to face them. "It's a topic that I don't know the outcome of, but I'm hopeful it'll be in my favor," she uttered before plopping down onto the seat. "Take a seat. It's going to be a long discussion."

Mark and Zoren gazed at her before they intuitively looked at each other. Mark quickly felt the need to shrug, defending himself against whatever accusation Zoren had in mind.

'I swear I didn't do anything to upset her today!' was what he wanted to tell his boss, but Zoren had already joined Penny.
