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

Chapter 1225: Penny's aunt

[PRESENT TIME]

"Ahh..." Grace rocked her head, narrowing her eyes as she processed Penny's crazy story. "So that's why, huh?"

"You don't believe me?" Penny frowned. "Since when have I ever lied to you?"

The corners of Grace's lips curled up. "Never. You might lie all the time, but not to me—I'm your lawyer."

"Exactly." Penny let out a shallow breath and leaned back. "It was crazy! Even now, I can't believe everything we went through."

"I wouldn't either if I were you," Grace shrugged. "I guess... it wasn't really a honeymoon, after all."

"I can't even call it a vacation. More like... an adventure."

"Haha. Oh, Penny." A soft sigh slipped past Grace's lips as she shook her head, feeling a little sorry for her friend.

Days before the trip, Penny had told Grace all about it--she had even watched Penny fantasize about her supposed honeymoon. But alas, not only did Penny's brothers show up and meet her other friends on the island, but they also got caught up in a whirlwind of chaos.

"But... you had fun, didn't you?" Grace arched a brow as she reached for her tea. "Don't lie to me."

Penny pursed her lips and raised her brows. After a moment, she smiled and picked up her juice.

"I have to admit... now that I think about it, it was fun in its own way," she said, making Grace chuckle. "It wasn't the romantic honeymoon I expected, but it was definitely... eventful."

"Oh, you." The two shared a knowing smile as they sipped their drinks.
