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

Chapter 1702

Chapter 1702: The Zoren they didn't know

In the trance...

The study room of Zoren's home in Skyline Plaza was quiet and dim. With barely any lights on, the desk lamp cast a soft glow over the files. Zoren stared at Penny's case files.

He sat there, almost slightly confused.

"This..." he whispered to himself, pressing his lips into a thin line.

As he reached out to Penny's file, where his profile was clipped to it, a faint, low growl echoed to his ears. He turned, catching sight of his huge black panther idling in the corner of the dim room.

"Renny," he whispered, furrowing his brows as he noticed one of the panther's eyes was shut.

Instead of checking the case files first, Zoren pushed himself away from the chair. He approached the black panther. Renny stayed idle in the corner, just watching him approach.

The black panther let out a low growl the moment Zoren got too close.

"..." Zoren paused, eyeing it.

After a breath, he squatted down and studied Renny. Earlier, he noticed one of Renny's eyes shut because only one glowed in the dim space. But now that he was up close, he could see the large scar across Renny's eye.

Renny had lost one eye.

"What..." he whispered. "... did I do?"

His chest moved heavily as he stared at the panther that stared back at him-not with the same affection as it used to, but rather, it stared back at Zoren with the same distance, like a soldier to his commander.

The longer they stared at each other, the clearer Zoren's cold reflection was mirrored in its eyes.

Zoren narrowed his eyes at his own reflection until his breathing stopped for a moment.

There, crouching down before Renny, was him. However, it didn't carry the same worry one might expect. If anything, his own pair of dark eyes were darker and more emotionless.

His own reflection looked back not with care, but more like assessment.

"That's..." he whispered.
