Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Don’t want to underdress
RANG!!

Everyone in class loosened up when the first bell for recess rang. Lily perked up excitedly, eyes blazing as she turned on Penny’s desk. But just as she did, Penny already stood up and walked away.

“Penny?” Lily called when Penny was close to her desk. “Penny, where are you going?”

Penny just smiled. She would have to save a soul, was what she wanted to say. “I need to do something.”

“All alone?” Lily’s face formed into a puppy about to be abandoned. “I need to talk to you about the fan club.”

At this point, Penny was already allergic to the word fans club.

“I’ll talk to you in a bit. This is just a bit important.”

The moment those words flew out of Penny’s mouth, she also bolted away like a flash of lightning. Only the faint gust of wind was what Lily could catch because of how fast Penny was.

“But… this is also important…” Lily muttered to herself, and then she sighed sharply. “Well, I’ll just tell her about when the official assembly would be.”

Lily didn’t think much of it anymore as she happily turned in Ginnie’s direction. “Ginnie~!” she called excitedly and jumped away from her seat, ready to talk about the fans’ club the two of them founded.

Patricia who was watching this, scoffed in dismay. “Nina, look at those losers.”

“Patricia…” Nina chuckled weakly as she looked at her friend. “Don’t bother with them anymore.”

“Mhmp!” Patricia crossed her arms. Of course, she couldn’t be bothered anymore. ‘That stupid Lily! Of all the people she could be friends with, she chose to mingle with peasants like Ginnie and Penny.’

Patricia hated to see this friendship because, in her eyes, it was strange. Lily was obviously not on the same level as Ginnie and Penny, but those two peasants talked to Lily as if they were equals. Even so, Patricia couldn’t meddle. As much as she hated it, she couldn’t fight Lily since Lily’s family was also influential and Patricia didn’t want to put the Miller Family in a terrible plight.

“Patricia,” Nina pursed her lips, waiting for Patricia to look at her. “That keychain I lent you… do you still have it?”

“The keychain?” Patricia tilted her head to the side. “Did you give me any keychain?”

“Yes. The one I got when I officially became a member of Ray’s fan club.”

Patricia furrowed her brows and pondered. “Well, maybe I forgot about it. I’ll look for it.”

“Thank you.” Nina smiled in satisfaction before she glanced at the door nervously. ‘Did Penny go to the headmaster’s office?’

Nina balled her hands into a tight fist, secretly clenching her teeth. She then glanced at Patricia once more.

‘Even if she gets angry, I have no choice,’ she told herself. ‘I can’t just fall when everything is already falling out of my hands. Patricia will surely get saved because she’s from the Miller Family. She’d surely get a lighter punishment if she took the fall.’

Once Nina convinced herself to make herself feel better, a relieved smile turned up on her face. As long as she could continue going to this school and as long as she could defend herself, there were more chances of discrediting Penny.

If Patricia took the fall, everyone would think Penny was just stirring trouble for her. If everyone would see this, her parents would lift her ban from the Bennet Mansion. They’d feel sorry for her as well.

Meanwhile, in Building 3, when the bell for recess rang, Atlas unhesitatingly rose from his seat. Curious, everyone in the class couldn’t help but turn in his direction.

Normally, Atlas would stay in class to study for the next class during recess. This guy only knew how to study all day. Even during lunch, Atlas would eat while reading. It wasn’t like they found it odd since they were now seniors and at this point in their lives, they had to take their studies seriously. Moreover, Atlas declared war on the star section class.

In other words, they weren’t surprised that he was more focused on his studies with everything at hand. But seeing him stand without holding a book or any study material earned unnecessary attention. Not to mention, that look on his face seemed like he was about to execute someone.

What made this guy angry?

Atlas wordlessly strutted out of the classroom. The moment he stepped out, Hugo was leaning on the wall across from the door.

Hugo snapped his sharp eyes at his brother and without exchange of words, the two of them marched through the hallway, heading to the star section class.

Unlike the rest of the grades and sections in the school, the star section followed a different curriculum. They only had a few teachers for classes, but they had more study materials to work on, projects, and exams.

Ray clapped his hand aloud to get everyone’s attention. “Those who signed up to Penny’s fan club, I just received a notification last night about the official general assembly!”

Everyone looked at him with mixed emotions — mostly in disbelief. He was really into this fan club, and no one could tell whether he was simply screwing with them or he was being serious.

“So, I asked my fellow members to do your work diligently so we can free up some time this week for the assembly!” he grinned from ear to ear, making his eyes squint.

The students shook their heads and didn’t bother arguing with him. When Ray was being childish, they’d rather not argue. It was more like talking to the wall.

“Thanks for the heads-up!” the 10th rank, Finn, smiled brightly as well. “Please let me know if there’s some dress code we need to adhere to. I do not want to attend underdress. That’ll be rude.”

Cassandra rolled her eyes upon hearing this. ‘It’s just a fan club assembly. Of course, we’ll wear uniforms. Did he think he was going to attend a party?’ When her eyes met with Kiara, she smiled helplessly.

“Ray, you and Finn seemed to be very invested in this fan club. I’m warning you, though. If this is just one of your ploy to stir trouble and implicate this class…” Kiara paused as her eyes sharpened at Ray. “… you’ll have a problem with me.”

“Don’t worry!” Ray chuckled. “I’m not stirring…”

Knock Knock.

Ray arched a brow and slowly set his eyes on the door. Everyone also heard the faint knock, and since knocking in this classroom was a rare occurrence, they were curious.

“I’ll get it,” Finn proposed because he was the closest. He slid the door open, knitting his brows when he saw no one.

“Big Brother, is the rank 2 inside?”

When a sweet voice caressed his ears, he slowly gazed down and was met with a round face with adorable pinkish cheeks and innocent round eyes. While Finn tilted his head to the side, everyone who had met Penny once panicked.
