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

Chapter 1773: this relationship is too crowded!

"My baby boo~! I’m so scared here~! Huhuhu! Do you know they tried to ditch me in the ocean to die?! Cruel! Very sad! Avenge me—and I need a hug! Anyway, we’re going to land on the nearest island and maybe grab some snacks. Please tell Yugi to track us down. I think Mark managed to slap something in here to keep tracking us. See ya~! Please buy me some cheeseburgers if you’re coming~! Love love love love you~!!"

What followed Penny’s voice was complete silence.

Everyone in Prime Group just stared at the big screen in the front in disbelief. Here they were, working overtime to save her, and she was going to do what?

"Check her location," Yugi muttered, shaking his head. "Just to be sure."

"Uh." The rows of men nodded and quickly got back to work, waiting for a lead on where the call had originated.

The rest followed suit, pretending they hadn’t just heard their boss talk like a lovesick teenager. That wasn’t the Penny they knew! She was shameless and full of antics, sure—but this sweet?

They shouldn’t have listened had they known Penny would sabotage her own image with just a few sentences.

"Still, I’m glad she’s safe," they whispered to themselves, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the sky, a few people who had been listening to the message raised their brows.

"That didn’t sound like someone who was abducted," muttered one of the Homeland Security agents, glancing at the men strapped across from him.

"Cheeseburgers, huh?" another repeated in disbelief. "Yep. Real cry for help."

As they processed the transmission, they all turned their heads to the front of the aircraft, where their boss’s voice cut through the hum of the engine.

"Hah! That Zoren Pierson..." Mint’s voice shook with restrained fury, her grip tightening around the device in her hand. Even though her men were at the back of the aircraft, they could feel the heat radiating off her.
