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

Chapter 1579: Where did I see her?

Zoren, for Mark and Wild, was perhaps one of the most reliable people around Penny. So when he said it was done, they didn't question it, especially Mark, who had worked for the man for many years.

With that, Wild scolded Penny one last time while Mark had to sit through all of it. Mark felt it wasn't proper to leave while the two went on about the drink Penny accidentally had. So, when Wild finally finished his scolding, they excused themselves.

However—

"Mark," Penny called just before Mark could walk out of the office. "Don't leave yet."

Hearing this, Wild's face reddened, giving Mark a warning look. "If she asks for any dangerous requests, don't."

Mark kept his mouth shut, nodding in response. He watched as Wild stormed away before walking back in, closing the door behind him.

"What is it, Miss Penny?" he asked, walking closer to her desk.

"I'm going to drop by Finn's home later to talk about a plan," she started as soon as he stopped, taking out something from her drawer to show him a woman's portrait. "It's about her. I know Renren already gave me his word that he'd go to catch her, but I need her as soon as possible."

Mark's eyes shifted to the wallet-size photo between her fingers. He had seen that photo before — in fact, every bodyguard stationed with Penny and Zoren had seen this portrait before. freëwebnovel.com

It was a portrait of Nina's biological mother when she was a lot younger.

"I need you to be alert at all times," she said. "And also, extend the range of my security. For them to come up with such a trap, it means they'd been watching me from afar, perhaps farther than the shadow guards Renren planted on me."

That was the only thing that could explain how they were able to come up with such a plan. After all, Penny had visited the orphanage under a different name. Therefore, the enemies knew she was interested in the orphanage. For the shadow guard not to detect them, it meant they were watching from behind them.

"I'm already planning on doing that." His voice was a little detached as he lowered his head. "And I'm also planning on reviewing your tracks from a few days ago at least. It'll probably give us an idea just how far they were watching."

Penny nodded. "Yes, do that."
