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

Chapter 1410: The real heroine

Multiple tests were conducted on Patricia, Teddy, Shawn, and Hayley, taking a few hours to complete. Throughout it all, the three of them felt as if they were simply drifting through the process. They didn't even realize the tests were over until they were told to change back into their clothes.

One of them, however, was excited about everything — and everyone knew exactly who that was.

Although Patricia felt a little conflicted after witnessing just a glimpse of Penny's craziness, she also understood one thing: this wouldn't have happened if Cassandra hadn't crossed the line.

Cassandra had wanted trouble, and she got it.

More importantly, Patricia was grateful. Even though Penny wasn't particularly close to her, she still made Patricia feel what it was like to be under someone's wing.

Now, Patricia could finally understand her brother, Theo. She had always thought Theo was just being overly grateful to Charles because the Bennets had bought the Millers' company and still given Theo and Mr. Miller positions. But now, she realized how shallow that perspective had been.

So, after thinking it through, Patricia was overwhelmingly happy about getting hired!

"Success!" Patricia cheered as she stepped into the hallway, spotting her future colleagues emerging from another door. As if she had already forgotten about her earlier arrest, Patricia leaped toward them.

"Hello, office mates~!" she greeted enthusiastically. "Congrats to the four of us on getting the job!"

Unlike her, the three barely lifted their heads, their enthusiasm nowhere near hers.

Ironically, they knew getting hired was good news. But for some reason, they couldn't even bring themselves to celebrate.

"What's wrong with you three?" Patricia blinked at their expressions. Then she blinked again. "Did something bad happen? Don't tell me you found out you have a terminal illness?"

The three of them just stared at Patricia's overly bright demeanor.
