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

Chapter 989: The very gift of life

[SKYLINE PLAZA]

Penny scrunched up her nose, shaking her head in disbelief. "First things first, I'm not worried about their love lives. I don't care. Grandma just... she misunderstood me and I didn't have the heart to tell her that they're a hopeless bunch."

Allison and Zoren smiled at her before they both chuckled. Their reaction made Penny's brows rise.

"What?" Penny asked, pouting a little as she darted her eyes between the two of them. "I'm telling the truth!"

"We know that," Allison replied, her laughter subsiding as she cast Zoren a knowing look. "We both know you're too busy to worry about that, especially when it comes to your brothers."

"Then why...?"

"Mom simply doesn't want them polluting the house and pouring their bad energy in here," Zoren explained. "Those are her words, not mine."

Allison shrugged nonchalantly when Zoren cast her a quick glance. After their meal the night before and their agreement, Zoren went to Allison to tell her that it was probably his grandmother's idea. Knowing Old Mrs. Pierson, Zoren didn't want his wife to be in trouble because of his grandmother. To his surprise, Allison was already aware of that.

Why would Penny worry about her brothers?

Penny was already too busy and had a lot on her plate. She might not have verbally detailed everything to her mother, but Allison knew her daughter's life was more hectic than it seemed. Considering Penny ran a huge company, the Prime Group, and married into one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Anteca, Allison wasn't ignorant.

Allison had also been the matriarch of the Bennet Family at one point. If not for Charles, she would've lived a life of pressure just to meet people's expectations of the Bennet family's matriarch.

"Besides, it's time for them to think about their future," Allison explained nonchalantly. "Since all three of them are on break, they should at least try dating women in their prime. Although I'm more hopeful that Haines will meet someone he'll want to spend the rest of his life with."
