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

Chapter 897: show them who the boss is.

"That's my girl."

Penny smiled back at Zoren, nodding at him as he carefully released her hand. The two of them exchanged a look before Penny jerked her chin toward him. He smiled again before turning his back and walking away from her.

As Zoren walked away, Penny glanced at her Second Brother and First Brother, who was looking back at her. When her eyes landed on Dean, she instantly caught him staring with displeasure in his eyes. However, Dean was more focused on the hand Zoren had held.

Dean even hissed faintly before looking away from her and resuming his steps. He was the first to leave. Following him were Hugo and then Atlas, who had just walked beside Zoren.

Lastly, Penny's eyes settled on Jonathan.

Jonathan stood still for a moment, eyes on her. The smile he had been carrying around Nina and the tolerance he had shown from the beginning until now were gone. All that was left was coldness as he blatantly held her gaze as if he were thinking about something.

'Earlier, I felt all my nerves tingle to the point it was painful,' she thought, arching a brow at Jonathan. 'But... it's not fear I feel for you.'

Penny hadn't forgotten the belt he had sent her to taunt her. Even though Zoren had already done something to warn the guy, Penny wasn't the type to let things go so easily. Unless, of course, they were Patricia, who was too pathetic to bother with-fighting with her was more of an insult to Penny than to Patricia.

After a moment of staring, Jonathan offered her a smile that didn't reach his eyes. He didn't say a word as he resumed his languid steps, following his team to the entrance.

'Meeting you today wasn't in the plan,' she thought, keeping her eyes on his back. 'Although ignoring you was part of the plan once I found out you were here. Teasing you today would settle the score for that gift, wouldn't it?'

Pulling herself off the wall, Penny walked in the opposite direction, away from where the team
