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

One of the letters Penny received from her in-laws was an invitation for lunch. Initially, she planned to ignore it. However, she changed her mind when she remembered who had sent it.

Ashley Pierson.

Ashley Pierson was the only person in the kitchen during the family gathering who didn't show the slightest interest in joining the Pierson family festivities. She was also the one who wasn't well-liked among the newer members of the family, yet, at the same time, she was the second-in-command whenever Mildred wasn't around.

She intrigued Penny, but when Penny asked Zoren about her, he simply shrugged. Zoren said she was just another member of the Pierson family. Not that Zoren didn't know his relatives, but he barely focused on those who weren't part of the power play or could offer significant support to the primary branches of the family.

So Penny agreed. Ashley was harmless.

'I agreed to meet her... not them,' Penny thought, frowning deeply and

narrowing her eyes at the people sitting at the wide round table in the mansion's garden.

"Hehe, Penny, did you like the gift I sent you?" asked a young woman sitting closer to Penny. "That gift was a family heirloom passed down for generations. It's said to bring good luck and fortune."

Penny turned to the young woman, a member of her group from the kitchen during the family gathering. 'What's her name again?' Penny wondered, narrowing her eyes as she recalled the long list of names from the Pierson Family registry.

'There's a few people who married into the Pierson Family around the same time she got into the family,' she thought with a deep sigh. 'I should just ask, but I feel like she would start bawling her eyes once I did.'
