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

274 TryNina's romance slightly worried Penny because her last memory of Finn wasn't good. However, that was twelve years ago. Twelve years is a long tfor someone to change; Nina changed. Penny had met so many people along the way, and they weren't the sas how she remembered them.

Penny, for instance, wasn't the sas she knew herself twelve years ago, nor was she the same. as she was in her previous life.

Nina wouldn't fall for someone like Finn if he was still as narcissistic as he used to be... right? "Ahh... I shouldn't think about that." Penny shook her head as she rummaged through her closet. for a change of clothes. "Nina is a smart woman. Besides, I have my own problems with some... marital affairs." Her brothers were probably worried about Nina's engagement because she was still their family. Their reaction to the thought of Penny dating was scary. Hence, it was understandable. Their worries were natural because Nina was the first to marry.

With that thought in mind, Penny quickly changed into casual and comfortable attire. She didn't have any plans for today, so she was planning to visit her mom and aunt's restaurant to help out. But as soon as she finished dressing, she paused and picked up her phone. "He still hasn't reached out," she whispered, checking her last text exchange with Zoren. "Did something happen to him?" Penny pursed her lips as she squinted.

She had learned her lesson about rushing things not long ago.

Tomorrow was the day Penny's bodyguards would start at Pierson Corporation under Zoren Pierson. Therefore, Penny didn't think much about Zoren or anything related to him. They would meet eventually, anyway.

"But he should've at least reached out to discuss our divorce, right?" she furrowed her brows and tilted her head to the side. "Yet, there's no word from him. Not even from his assistant. Though his team is cooperating with the PrGroup." Penny bit her lip and hesitated, noticing that he hadn't responded when she asked him if he had visited the Civil Bureau.

[To: Mr. Pierson Good day, Mr. Pierson. I haven't heard from you in a while since I asked...] Her thumb stopped typing, and she ended up deleting the entire message.

"Never mind," she shrugged and tossed her phone onto the vanity desk. "I can ask him tomorrow." She only needed to wait for a day..

< 274 TryWhat was the rush? Penny sat down in front of the vanity mirror to apply sskincare before leaving. But as she spread sunscreen on her face, her eyes instinctively fell on her phone.

"He's not dead, is he?" she wondered, thinking about his poor health and deteriorating vision. "I skimmed through his medical files, so I know how unlucky he is." A grunt escaped through her clenched teeth as she picked up her phone and sent him a quick message.

[To: Mr. Pierson Good day, Mr. Pierson. This is Penelope. I'm sending this not as a part of the PrGroup, but as someone who is in the splight as you. Did you visit the Civil Bureau?] Penny sent the message as quickly as possible, so she wouldn't end up deleting it.

"Goodness," she huffed. "If he says no, I'll drag him to the Civil Bureau tomorrow. I'd do it even if I had to kick that fussy assistant of his." DING! [From: Mr. Pierson Yes.] Penny's eyebrows rose as she somehow waited for another reply. The last tthey exchanged messages, he was sending one or two words per message. Therefore, she was expecting a follow-up message after this. But nothing.

"That's it?" she frowned and quickly replied.

[To: Mr. Pierson Did you see your marital status?] DING! [From: Mr. Pierson Yes.] Penny paused as she studied the message, arms crossed underneath her chest. "Was that a reply to the first question? Or the second one too? It looks like a double send to me." "No, wait. If he visited the Civil Bureau and saw his marital status, he should've known that we're married, right?" she whispered, though her eyes were still filled with confusion. "Then why hasn't he reached out? I was expecting that once his assistant found out, they would quickly call their lawyers to draft a divorce agreement." Penny assumed Zoren would ask his most trusted men- Benjamin -to read the marriage 274 Trycertificate for him. The man couldn't see, after all. However, no matter how she racked her brain to get to a conclusion, nothing logical cto mind. Therefore, she chose the shortcut. [To: Mr. Pierson As someone who is in the splight as you, can I call to discuss this important matter?] Zoren's previous response was quick, but this time, it took him a full three minutes to reply. DING! [From: Mr. Pierson No.] [To: Mr. Pierson Can I ask when you're free so we can discuss the resolution to this matter?] Again, Penny waited for his response. He was probably checking his schedule. Someone like him should be very busy. Hence, she waited patiently. DING! [From: Mr. Pierson.

Sure.] "Huh?" her face twisted in disbelief. "Sure, what?" Was he still having trouble with the text-to-speech? DING! [From: Mr. Pierson

Miss Penelope, I know this matter is important. However, I've found myself in a different plight due to my ve own carelessness. Therefore, I cannot discuss the resolution until it's resolved. I hope you can understand. I'm sorry.] "Oh... wow... so he can send more than one-word messages, huh?" her face contorted as she read the message again. Her expression grew solemn, reminded of all the accidents that had happened to Zoren in the past few years.

That guy wasn't just rich in illnesses; he was also a frequent victim of accidents. At this point, she was torn between thinking he was the unluckiest man in the world for experiencing such hardships, or the luckiest for surviving them all. "If it's a company problem, I don't mind helping, she mumbled as she typed.

[To: Mr. Pierson

Mr. Pierson, yes, this matter is very important to me, and I understand your situation. However, Howeven fixing m ve problems is also part of my line of work. Do you need my help? I don't mind, just so we can settle ours immediately.] inu didn't hesitate ne numa Quad on the seroon. Her are li.

[From: Mr. Pierson You won't helpwith it.] "How does he know I won't?" she mumbled as she typed, [Try me.] Another minute passed before Zoren's message cin. Penny read it confidently, but by the end of the message, all expression drained from her face. [From: Mr. Pierson.
