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

"Can’t contact them." Penny’s face soured as she held Brad’s phone, trying to reach her husband’s number, but it was unavailable. "Did he turn off his phone?"

Her frown deepened as she dialed Atlas’s number. Penny pressed the phone to her ear, perking up as it rang.

"It’s ringing!" she mused, listening to the ringing, waiting for it to be answered. But then, the operator’s voice was heard.

Slowly, she pulled her phone away and gazed at it bitterly.

"Atlas, do you know you’re disappointing me right now?" She looked at her phone, speaking to it as though it were her brother. "How can you put your phone on silent when your sister is in danger?"

Penny deadpanned, frowning deeply as if Atlas was the only one she tried to reach. Zoren’s phone seemed to be off, but she quickly assumed it wasn’t her husband’s fault. It was probably just a signal issue. However, her brain had no space for an excuse for her brother, Atlas.
