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

Chapter 1237: How did you get into Homeland Security?

"That is low, you know?" Penny hugged Renny and Chunchun on the couch, glaring daggers at Atlas. "You didn't have to use my children to stop me. Gee!"

A huff escaped Penny as she sulked on the long couch with her pets. Before she and Mark could leave the residence, they saw Renny and Chunchun running toward her. Mark naturally stopped-he didn't want to hurt them, even though Renny could easily trash their little sedan if it wanted to.

With them around the car, Penny didn't have the heart not to open the door for them. They showered her with love and kisses, which was nice-until Hugo and Atlas dragged her into Zoren's study for whatever reason.

"I haven't had dinner yet," she whimpered. "Should we eat first? I feel like I'll get indigestion if we talk before eating."

"This is where we'll eat," Hugo happily chimed in, though his eyes were on Renny and Chunchun cuddling with Penny on the couch. Chunchun was small, but with Renny there, Zoren had to sit on the armrest to make space.

'Damn it! I want a pet too!' Hugo mentally hissed, drowning in jealousy as he had no pet to cuddle with. 'Grandma Pierson gave me a collar so I could choose my own pet, but until now, I couldn't find The One.'

With a deep exhale, Hugo shook his head.

"Uh..." Slater, who had been ambushed by his brothers earlier and dragged to the skyline plaza, cleared his throat. He hadn't been outside the residence with them for one reason.

Atlas had grounded him.

"I agree with Penny," Slater blurted out. "Let's have dinner first."

Hearing this, Penny arched a brow and glanced at her third brother. "Third Brother, I didn't realize you were here."

Slater frowned. "They ambushed me at the
