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

Chapter 1484: He made me say all those things!

"But what I do know is... I told you tonight was going to be fun."

Yugi's face twitched as he watched Penny laugh and walk away.

"What does that mean?" he muttered to himself, shaking his head as he turned and leaned against the railing. "Whatever."

Yugi slowly gazed up and let out a short laugh. "That woman... she never stops surprising me. Does she really not know she's X?"

"Miss Penny, you're leaving?" Teddy perked up and stood when he caught Penny walking in from the balcony.

Penny raised a hand, seeing that he and her assistants were already rising to their feet. "You guys enjoy the rest of the night. Your rooms are ready, so you don't have to walk me out."

"But-"

"I'm not going home," she laughed. "I'll be staying here tonight too."

Her brows wiggled. "Just relax, you four. You did a good job tonight. Enjoy your day off tomorrow."

With that, Penny resumed walking and left. Everyone's eyes followed her as she exited.

Hayley gave a shallow smile. "I guess I'll head to my room too," she said, standing. "It was fun."

"You're going?" Patricia perked up. "I should go too!"

"Why are you going? It's not like you're sharing a room with her," someone from Yugi's team commented with disdain. "Just stay here so I can beat you some more."

"What do you mean beat me more? This game is rigged! Cheater!" Patricia hissed. "I know I'm fun to be around, but I take care of my beauty. So, you guys party all night—while I take care of my skin."

Hayley chuckled. "Then let's go, Pat."

With that, Patricia and Hayley gathered their things to return to their rooms. Meanwhile, Shawn and Teddy watched them leave before Teddy stood.

"It was great meeting you all," he said. "But it's been a long day. I'm heading to my room too."
