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

Chapter 1732: It’s a pledge

"What’s wrong with the two of you?" Penny leaned over to the front seats of the car, looking at Mark and then at Angel. "You both look like you’re choking on something."

The two of them quietly turned to where she was, giving her a dead look.

She might not have seen it, but a red string was actually strangling them at the moment.

Penny’s face twitched at the sight.

"Ahem," she cleared her throat. "Put on your earplugs. There’s going to be noises you won’t want to hear back here."

As she said that, Penny quickly leaned back, just as the partition was pulled up with a bang and no warning.

"That almost cut my face," she muttered, imagining both Mark and Angel already putting on their earplugs to save themselves from further torture.

She clicked her tongue and shook her head, leaning back toward Zoren.

"You didn’t have to tell them that," Zoren said with a chuckle, only to see her smirk mischievously.

"If I didn’t, they wouldn’t put their earplugs on so quickly."

Another chuckle escaped him. He shook his head and glanced at the front. The partition was already up, and knowing those two, they had definitely blocked their ears by now.

"Well..." Zoren let out a shallow breath, thinking about it.

Earlier, he told everyone he knew where the code was—but he didn’t tell them where. He only said he would be retrieving it.
