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

Chapter 1371: He's not wrong

"Miss Penny."

Penny stopped at Butler Hubert's call, pausing just as she exited the bathroom. Flinching, she turned her head toward him.

"Butler Hubert, no matter how important this is, I don't think it's proper for you to wait for me outside the bathroom," she blurted quietly, furrowing her brows as Butler Hubert suddenly dragged her to the corner. Watching him, she saw him glance left and right before facing her sternly.

"Miss Penny, I did what you asked last time," Butler Hubert's voice was low, barely reaching her ears. He paused, nodding at her as if he didn't need to say the rest of his remarks.

Penny studied his expression before asking, "You found the person?"

Visiting the Old Residence had always been part of Penny and Zoren's weekly routine. They visited the Old Madam no fewer than three times a week. It was the minimum, no matter how busy they were. One reason was to cherish each moment with the aging Old Mrs. Pierson, but also because Penny was closely monitoring the Old Madam's health.

The last time she was here, she asked Butler Hubert to investigate the other helpers of the manor. After all, the Old Madam's episodes had only happened once that time William "claimed" he visited the Old Madam to inform her about Jonathan. After that, the Old Madam was healthier than ever. At first, Butler Hubert thought it was probably the treatment that was working.

But Penny and Zoren suspected something else. Penny suspected that someone might be "poisoning" the Old Madam with small doses.

Turns out... she was right.

"What should we do, Miss Penny?" Butler Hubert asked worriedly. "I did what you told me and investigated all the helpers."

"Have you confronted the person?"
