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

Chapter 1154: Greed... what a troubling thing to live with.

[PRESENT TIME]

"Those two... they're gone. Our men checked, and it seemed those two somehow managed to take down the guys who took them. We're trying to locate them," the soldiers who reported to Glenn summarized the situation before he drew his head back.

Glenn, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the other man. Knowing Penny and Zoren were staring, he maintained his composure and nodded.

"I see." Glenn rocked his head and faced the couple with a smile. "It seems we have a problem."

Zoren quickly frowned, while Penny furrowed her brows. "What problem?" asked Zoren quietly.

Zoren lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry."

"No..." Tears welled in the corner of Penny's eyes as she shook her head. "This is..."
