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

Chapter 1337: Not playing the two-faced game

"Renren, how did you... make it here?" Penny blinked, looking at her husband curiously. "Shouldn't you be elsewhere?"

After all, Penny and the entire family knew that Zoren had an important meeting as the head of the Pierson Family. No one had expected to see him tonight.

Zoren smiled and gently poked the tip of her nose. "The only place I should be tonight is here."

"Goodness." She pouted, her cheeks turning slightly pink. "I know this is important for you too, but aren't you going to get in trouble?"

"It wasn't me who canceled," he explained briefly. "It was the other party's fault. Besides..."

Zoren slowly shifted his gaze toward Atlas. "I should thank him for his help."

"Huh?" Penny furrowed her brows and glanced at Atlas, only to see her first brother acting as if no one else was in the room. "What did he do?"

"Hah..." she exhaled, closing her eyes.

"That's alright."

A voice came from behind her. When she reopened her eyes, all she saw was Jonathan's gentle smile as he sat down beside her. freewebnovel.com

"It's an emergency, so there's nothing we could do," he said.

Cassandra pressed her lips into a thin line and sighed. "Do you really think it's just an emergency? Or... is it because this isn't as important to them?"
