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

Chapter 1741: It’s not another problem—it’s a condition

Penny discussed further details with Yugi and Wild regarding some matters that had occurred while she was gone. After all, this was the first time Penny was stepping away from the Prime Group’s affairs in a long while. Yet she showed no shred of hesitation—this wasn’t just about her husband.

This was also about Penny herself.

About the Penelope Bennet, who had been imprisoned and executed unjustly.

This was her closure.

Once Wild and Yugi left, Penny remained with Zoren, Mint, and Hugo.

They glanced at the door before exchanging looks.

"So, here’s the plan," Mint began immediately, placing a folder on the table. "Hugo and I went over the idea of letting everyone in on the plan. Obviously, everyone agreed — after a long morning of arguing, of course."

She rolled her eyes, recalling the debate that had dragged her mental state through the gutter... only to be revived afterward.

"I instructed them on the skeletal strategy, just as we discussed," Hugo said, backing her up while Penny and Zoren picked up the folders. "It’s a large-scale operation, practically at war level. But with the rising threat, we convinced them to agree. We were given time, so once we leave this place, Mint and I will be busy on the strategy."

"Even so, we still need something more concrete than what we’ve got now," Mint added, giving Zoren a look. "Hey, you said you went to retrieve the code this morning. How is it?"

"About that." Penny sat straighter, crossing one leg over the other in a relaxed manner. "I don’t think we should make that our first move."

Hugo blinked, shifting their attention from Penny to
