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

Chapter 1547: It's a rip-off

[Bennet Mansion]

Clack...

Penny dropped her hand to her side, her phone still gripped tightly. Her brows furrowed slightly as she stood motionless after the brief phone call with Hugo.

Walking back to her room, she quickly spotted Zoren.

He had just come out of the bathroom after a quick night shower, towel in hand as he dried his hair. The moment his eyes landed on his wife, concern flashed across his face.

"Something wrong?" he asked, approaching her quickly. Zoren rested his hands on her shoulders, lowering his head to meet her gaze. "You look a little pale."

Penny slowly looked up and met his eyes. "Renren..."

"What is it?" Panic began to creep into Zoren's chest at the tone of her voice.

"Second Brother and Mint might've found something out about the baby swap," she whispered, making his brows rise. "I need to catch Nina's mother to confirm it, but..."

"I got it." Before she could even finish, Zoren nodded. "I'll ask my men to track her down."

Penny pressed her lips into a thin line, appreciation swelling in her chest. After all, she was already juggling the task of concocting an antidote on top of running her own company. She might've been strategic most of the time, but she was only human.

She slowly slipped her arms around his torso, hugging him tightly. Resting her head on his chest, she let out a heavy sigh.

"It feels nice..." she whispered, eyes closed, her energy slowly draining. "...to be understood even before I say it."

A subtle smile formed on his lips, and he hugged her back gently. "I'm glad you're asking me for help."
