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

Chapter 1788

Chapter 1788: A bet of a lifetime

When the old lady slapped Penny’s shoulder once more, she huffed sharply and looked at Penny’s face with displeasure. She shook her head in disappointment, then glanced at the two men behind the young lady.

"Kids these days..." she grumbled, shaking her head again. "Are you going to the mansion?"

No one answered as Penny was busy rubbing her shoulder.

"Tch." The old lady muttered. "Forget it. No one’s in there — just come inside for a while. It’s dangerous outside. Children these days surely don’t know danger."

As the old lady grumbled, she grabbed Penny’s shoulder and dragged her back into the hut. Before they got in, she stopped and looked back at Shawn and Slater.

"Forget it," the grandma huffed. "Two ladies with two men together in one place is scandalous. You go in, young lady. Don’t make me scold you again."

Penny frowned as she was pushed to the door, dragging herself back inside like a child. Following behind her was the short old lady.

Meanwhile, Slater and Shawn gazed at them with twisted expressions.

"Scan — scandalous?" Slater muttered in disbelief.

Forget about that, but did the granny actually say two ladies and two men together? How was that scandalous when the other lady was old enough to be their great-grandmother?!

"I don’t think she should lower her guard like that," Shawn snapped out of it, shooting Slater a look.

Slater was slightly irritated, giving Shawn a look that told the latter who was the cause of this irritation.

"She’s already inside," he said, keeping his rifle strapped around him, though his hand never left it. "Damn it, Penny."

Slater clicked his tongue. "This is not the time for this."

But even then, Slater was already marching inside. As for Shawn, his mouth opened and closed. They had already idled, wasting their time because they had to. But now?

"Miss Penny," he whispered, looking around cautiously before following them.
