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

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.

"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."
