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

Chapter 1406: A walk to the final interview

Patricia had always been confused about why everyone referred to Penny as a male. She hadn't dwelled on it much, but today, she was starting to understand the reason. It was becoming clear-Shawn, Hayley, and even Teddy didn't know who they were applying to work for.

Just that realization alone turned her mood upside down.

A smile spread across her face, something she hadn't expected after the ordeal at the police station. With that, Patricia maintained her cheerful expression throughout the ride.

Meanwhile, Hayley and Shawn kept to themselves, lost in their own questions, while Teddy quietly observed Patricia's sudden change in demeanor.

'Why does she look so happy all of a sudden?' he wondered, sneaking a glance at her. 'Penny... who is she, really?'

Teddy recalled the short interaction at the police station. Penny and Yugi seemed close, which wasn't surprising since they were cousins. However, there was something strange about the way they spoke to each other. Teddy could feel it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

'She sounded like she was giving orders to T. Mouse earlier,' he thought, remembering how Yugi had asked Penny where she was going and how Penny had casually responded, instructing him to bring the others along.

It was too brief of an exchange to draw a solid conclusion, so Teddy let out a quiet sigh.

'There are too many possible explanations for that,' he reasoned. 'Maybe she's just older than T.Mouse, and he naturally defers to her.'

Shaking his head, he decided not to overthink it. After all, the alternative theory was absurd. Everyone knew T. Mouse was a man, and Yugi had always been the face of Prime Group since it went public years ago. Teddy had done extensive research on the company long before the job listing was posted, as he had been planning to apply for a position there for a while.

No article was there that said anything about Penny.

With everyone wrapped up in their own thoughts, the vehicle soon came to a halt.

"Hmm?" Hayley hummed, turning toward the window. She blinked in confusion. "Are we supposed to get off here?"

"I guess?" Shawn said uncertainly as a man outside the van opened the door.

Since he was closest to the exit, Shawn stepped out first, followed by Patricia, Hayley, and Teddy.
