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

Chapter 1591: That's your concern?

Yugi pinched the bridge of his nose, massaging his brows as he tried to ease a growing headache. Penny's assistant had just left after voicing their concerns about the delivery packages. They were worried it might look bad if they kept receiving them-like they were accepting bribes or something shady.

As Penny's assistants, their concerns were valid. Patricia, too, had every right to be upset. She felt neglected by the mysterious "Father."

"Does Penny even know about this?" he muttered, glancing at the door. "Zoren must've told her, right?"

This wasn't what Yugi had expected when Zoren suddenly connected Penny's assistants to the dream quadruplets they wanted. If he'd known it would turn into this, he would've just kept his mouth shut.

Knock.

His thoughts came to a halt as a soft knock sounded. He looked toward the door. But he didn't need to wonder who it was there was only one person who knocked on his door once: Penny.

He was right.

Penny walked into the office, prompting him to sit up straighter.

"Penny," he greeted her, his voice edged with frustration.

Penny flopped onto the couch, slouching with her back pressed deep into the cushions. "Yugi, I just ran into my assistants. Are you offloading your work onto them so you can slack off?"

Normally, Yugi wouldn't let a comment like that bother him. But today? It made his blood pressure spike.

The nerve of her to say that—especially when it was her husband who had been piling extra work onto everyone. Between the assistants' concerns and the staff checking all those mystery packages for safety, things were spiraling.

"Penny, do you even know what your husband's been up to lately?" he asked sharply, watching her blink.

"He loves me," she said flatly. "That's what he's been up to."

"Oh my god..." Yugi dragged a hand down his face and stood up, walking over to join her on the couch. "In case you didn't know, your husband came to see me the other day."
