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

Chapter 1855: Things she disliked

When does life begin?

When you were born? When you take your first cry? Your first breath? Your first walk? Your first word?

When asked, the answer to that question differs from person to person. For some, life began as early as they can remember. For others? It took years—decades, even. But one thing’s for sure:

Life begins when you decide to live.

Whether at fifty or one, or even after an entire lifetime. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Life is life, and no one is ever too late for it.

[PRIME GROUP]

Months had passed since the incident on the island, and everything had seemingly gone back to normal. Just like in Prime Group... or so Penny wanted to believe.

Seated on the sofa in her office, enjoying a nice barbecue with Wild and Lily, the three of them froze mid-bite. Their eyes shifted to the entrance of the office as Penny’s assistants—Shawn, Teddy, Patricia, and Hayley—marched in and surrounded them.

"Uhh..." Wild cleared his throat, glancing at Penny. "Penny? What did you do this time?"

"Whatever it was, it’s not me," Penny defended herself even before she heard anything else.

Lily then blurted out, "Penny, are your assistants getting scarier every time I come here?"

"Miss Penny." Teddy huffed, placing a tablet on a small vacant spot on the table.

Confused, Penny picked up the tablet. Instinctively, Wild leaned to her side while Lily jumped from her seat to Penny’s other side.
