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

Chapter 1236: older brother's prowess

It had been a long day for Penny-one of the craziest, if she had to describe it.

"Has work piled up for you, Miss Penny?"

Seated in the back seat, Penny snapped her eyes toward the driver's seat. Mark, her bodyguard, was driving her home as usual, glancing at her through the rearview mirror.

"You want to hear something interesting?" she returned. "Yugi and everyone in the company did a great job making sure I came back to everything ready. I

appreciate them for keeping things in order and keeping me in the loop as best they could."

Another heavy sigh escaped her as she melted into the backseat, feeling more exhausted than usual. "It's just that... people have a lot of issues, and they all decided today was the perfect time to tell me about them."

"You mean Finn Davis?"

"Finn is one, but there's also Grace, Uncle Haines, Uncle Wild... Then First Brother called me to ask me something ridiculous, only to tell me 'never mind. Of course, you don't know.'. And Second Brother? He wanted to know how long he could survive with fifty bucks in his pocket." Penny deadpanned, snapping her gaze back to Mark. "My Second Brother is dying today for sure."

Mark chuckled, shaking his head while keeping his eyes on the road. "No wonder you're tired."

"Ahh... I just want to go home," Penny grumbled, hugging herself in the corner of the backseat. "Go home, eat plenty, have a warm shower with a scented candle, then listen to soft music. Maybe a glass of wine too... At this point, I deserve it."

"Please don't." Mark's response was quick, making her scrunch up her nose.

"Mark, when I'm drunk, I don't become someone else, you know? I might have no filter, but it's still me!"

Mark didn't respond immediately, slowing down slightly as he glanced in the rearview mirror again. "Are you saying that when you're drunk-everything you say and do those are things you already have in mind when you're sober, but just don't act on?"

"Huh?"
