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

106 Finder's keepers! Everyone watched Slater place pieces of candies on the floor in disbelief. When he said he had a great idea and that it would make Penny cout, everyone was a little skeptical. Among the brothers, Slater was the one who was against Penny.

If not for Penny's long patience and deep understanding, everyone wouldn't be surprised if they ended up fighting like cats and dogs. But Slater was confident, and since they wanted to believe in his spirit, they let him execute his plans.

Who would have thought this silly plan would work? In the entry hall, Butler Jen and Haines's mouths fell open when they caught the top of Penny's hair bouncing over the railing. Butler Jen was so shocked he couldn't help but cover his gaping mouth. "Miss Penny... "Butler Jen mentally wept, now worried that Penny would be kidnapped so easily! Haines, on the other hand, carried a blank look. "She... she's so cute," he whispered. "Right." Butler Jen cleared his throat and shifted his eyes to the family hiding in the corner. He raised a thumb at them, watching the family scurry back to the family room. He then cast Haines a look. "Sir Haines.

"Oh. Haines snapped back to reality, nodding at him. Without making a sound, he leaped his way to the family room, joining the family to wait for Penny.

Meanwhile, Butler Jen waited for Penny until she reached the first floor. Her cheeks blissfully blushed as her eyes curved into a crescent shape.

Whoever dropped these candies surely had tough luck tonight.

Finder's keepers! "Miss Penny?" Penny's squinting eyes cracked at Butler Jen's call. "Butler Jen?" she quickly hid the wrappers behind her. "Hehe. I've cdown.

"Miss Penny, shall I assist you?" he asked, hearing her hum.

"Okay!" "Alright. This way, please. Butler Jen ushered her to their destination. When he turned, Penny tilted her head to the side.

"Butler Jen, the dining room is over there. She pointed in the other direction, looking at him innocently. Butler Jen smiled warmly and said, "We prepared it in the family room." "We?" she tilted her head to the side. "Who is we, Butler Jen?" Penny immediately assumed it was Butler Jen and Haines. Maybe sservants too? It was still her birthday, after all. Considering all the servants liked her, it wouldn't be a surprise if they joined too.

106 Finder's keepers! Butler Jen faintly sighed. She doesn't even think of her family. His heart felt heavy, wondering why she hadn't asked about her family since she chfrom her meeting with Thursday Guy.

It was only natural for Penny to ask about where her parents and brothers were. But she didn't. She didn't even show the slightest trace she was curious or interested. This didn't displease Butler Jen, but more like it reminded him of Penny's aura when she cinto the mansion.

'It's more like that wall around her when she chere is more heavily fortified now." This worried him, since he thought she was slowly lowering her guard the longer she stayed.

"You'll know, Miss Penny," he said and didn't think much of the thoughts in his mind. "Please. Follow me.

"Okay." Penny shrugged indifferently, thinking there was nothing that would ever surprise her. If Butler Jen and Haines prepared something for her, then she would have appreciated it greatly.

When they reached the family room, Butler Jen stopped. He turned and faced her, making her tilt her head.

"Butler Jen?" she called, furrowing her brows when he took out a sleeping eye mask. "Haha. Butler Jen, is it going to be a surprise?" Butler Jen nodded. "We thought it would be better if you had your eyes blindfolded. So the surprise would be even better.

"Okay," she giggled, playing along with Butler Jen and Haines's plans.

Butler Jen walked over and stood behind her, placing the sleeping eye mask around her. Penny willingly closed her eyes, helping him adjust it. When she couldn't see anymore, Butler Jen held her hand. "Careful with your steps, Miss Penny," he said, and she hummed in response, guiding her slowly to the room.

When Butler Jen opened the door, he intuitively placed a finger in front of his mouth. Everyone was already in there, holding their breaths as if breathing would alert her. Their eyes, however, twinkled with excitement as they anticipated her reaction.

"We're here, Miss Penny, Butler Jen announced gently. "I'm taking off your eye mask now." Penny sniffed hard and smelled sappetizing aroma lingering in the air. "Okay!" Sensing Butler Jen's hands on the back of her head, Penny giggled as it felt ticklish. She kept her eyes closed, slowly reopening them. She squinted her eyes once more because of the lights, taking her tto open them.

When her eyes adjusted to the light, her gaze immediately fell on speople she deliberately didn't expect to see. Their eyes were twinkling while their lips stretched wide. With the warm lights in the family room, they almost sparkled, and also... they looked warm.

"Happy birthday, Penny!" they greeted in unison, almost giggling at the end of their greeting. Penny's lips felm open slightly, gazing at her dad and then at her mother. Standing next to Allison was Atlas, who also carried this awkward smile as if he wasn't sure if this was the smile he 213 106 Finder's keepers! the line, was just grinning excitedly.

"Oh." Her lips twitched a little, taken aback at this situation. It was the first tthis happened to her in both lifetimes she didn't know how to react.

Penny turned her head and inevitably caught Haines. Her uncle also carried this wide smile as if he had just achieved a a huge feat. He stood next to the piles of gifts as if to make a claim all of them were from him. "Surprise!!" Slater repeated enthusiastically, snapping her back to the current lapse.

They all looked at her with anticipation, waiting for her reaction. Of course, she would be surprised at first, but now they were waiting for what reaction would follow.

Would she cry? Would she jump in joy? Unlike what they expected, Penny maintained a plain expression before she turned her back on them.
