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

Chapter 717: Don't swing that way

[SKYLINE PLAZA]

"So... this is where you live, huh?" Slater's mouth parted as he drove slowly into the driveway of Zoren's place. Looking around, his face twitched. "Why do they have big lots and small houses? Just like the old residence?"

Penny smirked. "You'd know."

"Huh?" Slater cast his sister a look, only to catch something large running in their direction. "Oh, shit, oh shit!"

Slater instinctively stepped on the gas as he panicked, making Penny turn her head to the window. The moment she saw Renny running at them while Slater picked up speed, she laughed.

"It's okay," she said calmly. "Slow down. He's not going to harm us."

"That thing won't?" he gasped, still accelerating to make a turn around the fountain near the front door. "I doubt it."

Penny cocked her head back, eyes on him. "Seriously? I live here, and that's your nephew."

"The last time I know is that my sister is a human and doesn't give birth to animals."

"Slow down, damn it." She clicked her tongue, watching him give her quick glances. "Slow down."

Slater's nose wrinkled before he eventually slowed down. When they stopped in front of the residence, he faced her squarely, his finger pointing at her.

"Penny, I'm telling you one thing: if that thing gnaws at me, it's on you! And I will haunt you even if I become a ghost. Do you understand?"

"That's a lot of things, not just one thing," she quipped sarcastically before stepping out. As soon as she did, she grinned and opened her arms. "Renny~!"

Penny's grin, however, cracked when she saw that Renny wasn't stopping or slowing down. "Uh oh," she muttered, jogging a few steps toward the lawn, and in a few seconds, Renny jumped on her.

"Ack-!"
