PAMPERED

CHAPTER 25



25 She got lucky! 

In the Cortez Household, Yugi and Yuri eagerly leaned forward after Jessa sent a message to Penny’s parents. 

“Mom, did they agree?” Yugi asked anxiously. “What did they say?” 

Yuri didn’t say anything, but her eyes carried a look of anticipation. 

Jessa glossed her eyes over her children and crossed her arms. She leaned back on the couch in their living room and smirked. 

“They said they will meet me first.” 

The two children looked at each other, unsure if that 

was a good thing. 

“Don’t worry, kids. Your mother got this,” Jessa reassured, her cunningness flickering in her eyes. 

When Penny left the household, even Jessa felt like the house was a little empty and bigger. Penny was the family’s savior. Initially, Jessa thought Penny was better off with her real family. Even so, she was curious about what sort of family the Bennets were, so

she did some digging, and she gradually realized that the Bennet family was filthy rich! 

Well, the compensation money she got already told her they were. 

However, after a while, her twins kept making a fuss. They also kept saying things. Initially, she brushed it. off, but the more she thought about it, the more it affected her. 

Penny was the long–lost daughter of the Bennet family. The said family didn’t even know her existence 

because of another child who had been living Penny’s life! 

“That brat!” Jessa felt bitter at the thought of that child. who stole Penny’s life. “She’s just like her ungrateful and greedy mother. I wouldn’t be Jessa Cortez if I let that brat bully my genius niece!” 

Hearing their mother, Yugi and Yuri nodded profusely. 

“Mom, that’s right! That brat will surely bully Penny to mark her territory!” Yugi yelled, thinking of the rich people’s problems. They’ve seen it in the dramas. 

“But she might be kind…” Yuri trailed off when Yugi 

glared at her 

“Nonsense!” he exclaimed, almost enraged at the ideas in his mind. “That brat will give our Penny a hard time and Penny is too kind to retaliate! If we don’t do something as her family, then we don’t deserve her!” 

Too kind to retaliate? Yuri gazed at her twin brother, who seemed to forget how vicious Penny could be. 

Jessa couldn’t help but agree with her son. She wouldn’t even give back Penny if Yuri didn’t get sick and needed expensive treatment. The child was her cash cow, but also Penny had grown on her all these years. 

“That’s enough!” Jessa raised her chin, her aura 

exuding reassurance and conviction. “Your mom will handle it. That brat doesn’t know what our family went through all these years. She can’t have it easy just because she got lucky!” 

Back in the Bennet Mansion, the day went surprisingly calm. When dinner came, the entire family gathered. Usually, Slater would start throwing attitudes in the middle or the end of the meal, but he didn’t say a 

word.

The couple darted their eyes on their children, the surprise on their faces evident. No one argued and ate their meal. Once they were done, they politely excused themselves and resigned to their bedrooms, NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Allison went straight to Penny’s room after some brief 

matters she had to settle. 

“Penny?” she knocked on the door mildly, “Can I come in?” 

When she heard Penny’s faint voice from the inside, Allison opened the door. She peeked her head in, her eves searched for her daughter, and then saw Penny approaching the door with a towel around her hair. 

‘Mommy, is there’s something wrong?” Her round eyes gleamed with curiosity. The natural blush on her chubby cheeks complemented her fair and smooth 

skin. 

Allison couldn’t help but find her adorable as she walked in. “I just want to talk to you about something. But before that, should I brush your hair?” 

Hesitation briefly shone in Penny’s eyes before she smiled.

the bed. Penny sat with her back facing Allison, letting her mother’s gentle hands smoothen out her tangled hair. Every brush carried gentleness and carefulness. It made Penny a little ticklish and sleepy. 

The atmosphere also felt warmer with Allison’s 

presence. 

Penny cast her eyes down and was unable to stop the subtle smile on her face. Her mother had always been gentle, even in her first life. However, having to raise five children, she had to equally give them all love and care. She might’ve lacked in some ways, but Penny knew her parents weren’t perfect, but still tried their 

best. Hence, she couldn’t hate them. 

It would be nice if she could just be her kid… 

Penny mentally shook her head to get rid of the idea. 

“Penny.” After a long silence, Allison’s gentle voice sliced through the quiet air. “Do you like staying here?” 

Penny looked back at Allison, eyes sparkling with 

curiosity. 

Allison smiled. “I know a lot has happened and things had been happening so quickly. I’m worried that you’re finding it difficult to adiust?” 

“Not at all!” Penny beamed. “Mommy and Daddy take care of me. Butler Jen feeds me well, and I can always rely on Uncle Haines! I’m okay. Everyone has been kind to me, so I didn’t find it hard to adjust.” 

“I’m glad to hear that.” Allison heaved a sigh of relief. “About your brothers…” 

“Mommy, I think my hair is still tangled over here.” Penny showed her a portion of her hair, and Allison immediately grasped her daughter’s hints. 

Penny didn’t want to talk about her brothers yet. 

Allison couldn’t blame her daughter, though. Her boys had always been distant, and Slater always picked on Penny. Even if they talked to Slater, they knew it would take a lot of time for their youngest son to open up. After all, Slater never liked changes. 

Sensing Allison’s dejected mood while brushing her hair, Penny spoke. “Mommy, my brothers might not play with me, but I know if I needed their help, they would help me without questions asked. I feel reassured that I know I can rely on them if I need it.” 

Allison’s face softened as she gazed at Penny’s back. She couldn’t help but smile, thinking Penny was trying

to console her. It felt strange, but her words 

comforted her. 

“Penny, can you face mom?” Allison assisted Penny and waited until they were facing each other. She clasped Penny’s soft hands, smiling and sighing faintly. “I have to tell you something, but before I do, I want to let you know that whatever your decision, Mom and Dad will always have your back.” 

Penny’s brows rose, her round eyes gleaming with curiosity. When Allison’s lips parted and the words came out of her mouth, Penny’s expression gradually changed from curiosity to surprise.
