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

Chapter 1127: Problem solved

The first meeting with Mint was strange, but it became even stranger when they met her again—this time, in a local restaurant.

"Uh..." was the only thing everyone could say as they gazed at the lady in the high-collared dress that reached down to her ankles. Even under the dress were high socks and black shoes. Her hair was braided into two low pigtails, giving her an old-fashioned, almost pious look.

"Again, I'm sorry for startling everyone earlier," Mint said, dramatically placing a hand across her chest. "It seems I got so excited to meet my cousin's friends that I forgot my manners. I've reflected on it and I hope we can all start on the right foot."

For a moment, everyone could only stare at this lady in stunned silence. Those who had met her earlier were especially speechless. Meanwhile, Benjamin, who was seated around the table, had his face buried in his palms out of shame.

"Ben, are you okay?" Allen asked quietly, watching Benjamin peek over his fingers. "No, you're not, are you?"

Benjamin quietly went back to weeping. Earlier, when he dragged Mint away, he scolded her for being rude to Penny and Zoren. Although Mint had said that she would make Penny her wife, Benjamin thought his cousin was only joking at that time. Therefore, he didn't think much about it until everything unfolded right before

his eyes.

Along with the scolding, he had also warned Mint that if she didn't act decently, he would get angry. Who would have thought that this was what she would do? No, she wasn't mocking Benjamin, but she was being dead serious about this.

"Especially to you, my lady-I mean, Penelope," Mint flashed Penny a humble smile. "I was so mesmerized by your beauty that I forgot that just trying to get close to you is too ambitious for a mortal like him."

"..." Penny tried to compose herself, but in the end, her expression kept failing her.

"You too," Mint moved on and fluttered her eyelashes at Zoren. "I was playing too much and didn't consider my actions beforehand. Please forgive me and give me another chance to correct this recklessness."
