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

Chapter 1627: How in the world did you three end up in this situation?

Doubting Penny would rescue the day was justified by both Hayley and Theo. Perhaps, even by Patricia.

Why?

Because if the situation were reversed, they didn't think they would want to get involved.

This situation wasn't just about buying a company or hiring assistants. This was a crime, no matter how one twisted the narrative.

Besides, they all knew that Penny wasn't the hero type. If anything, she might as well be an anti-hero.

Penny had already helped the Miller Company, regardless of how the Millers treated her in the beginning. She also hired Patricia, even when the latter was not qualified. As for Hayley, she had already earned an early mercy by being given a chance for the interview.

What else could they ask of her?

Thus, when Theo opened the door and saw the person standing outside, his knees buckled. His front bravado quickly melted as he sagged against the doorframe.

"Penny," he whispered. Theo could swear he had never felt so emotional in his life. The corners of his eyes reddened as his breathing grew heavier.

Penny, unfazed by the mix of relief and all sorts of emotions in his eyes, looked at him coldly. "Let me in."

"..." Theo nodded but had to force himself to stand on his own.

Pushing himself away from the doorframe, he opened the door slightly wider. As soon as Penny walked in, he peeked his head out and checked from left to right. There weren't any other cars parked on the street-no police mobiles or anything like that.
