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

Chapter 1740: Make sure it’s worth the effort

What Penny told Wild and Yugi was the truth—and nothing but the truth.

Putting Prime Group under fire and allowing the public to persecute it would inevitably draw people out of the woodwork. Some would simply celebrate out of spite or because Prime Group had blocked their way in business.

But this move made it easier to separate those who merely disliked Prime Group from those who needed it to disappear.

Just like in her first life, those who stood in the way were eliminated, making room for someone else to rise.

Back then, it had been Global Prime Logistics—Atlas—that stood in Nathalie’s way. Why? Because Atlas had firm control over several key piers and shipping routes. She needed him to loosen that grip.

Even if Atlas hadn’t ended up in prison, but Penny did, the result was still the same — the Bennet Family fell.

In this life, Global Prime Logistics was no longer an obstacle. And that was thanks to Prime Group.

Why target Prime Group instead of the Millers?

Because Penny had bought out the Miller Company, and targeting them would be pointless if Prime Group stood behind them.

So now, the obstacle wasn’t just Atlas. It was Penny herself. The very person they once sent to prison—simply because they could—was now the target again.

Following this logic, Penny was certain that Nathalie’s forces would soon begin courting Prime Group’s business rivals, just as they had approached the Millers in her previous life. They wouldn’t miss the chance to take her out of the picture.

Which made them easier to entrap—because now, she knew exactly where they were heading.

But more importantly, this setup would make them believe Penny was staying behind to clean up the mess.

"I’ll be flying out," Penny said, keeping her eyes on Wild and Yugi. "That’s why I called you here. Since I’m inviting trouble, I want them to think I’m still here—stressing out, trying to fix what I should be fixing."
