Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 1409

Chapter 1409: Bleh!
“That’s Penny—our big boss. And you heard her. If you think you can handle her, you can start tomorrow. That wraps up your final interview. You’re hired. Now it’s up to you whether you show up tomorrow or not.”

Shawn, Teddy, and Hayley felt like they had just been doused with a bucket of ice-cold water. For a moment, all they could do was stare at Yugi blankly.

That woman was their boss?

And Yugi hadn’t just said “their boss” — he had said “our” boss. Meaning, that Penny was also his boss.

But wait—wasn’t Yugi… T. Mouse?

The three of them had done extensive research on Prime Group and had concluded that Yugi was, without a doubt, T. Mouse. While none of the articles explicitly confirmed it, everyone knew it was him.

As the realization sank in, Shawn and Teddy recalled Penny’s demeanor during the interview the day before. At the time, they hadn’t thought much of it—she hadn’t interrupted or asked questions. But now, looking back, Penny hadn’t just been in that room as a mere spectator.

She had been there because she could.

There was nothing in her demeanor that suggested she needed to be there, that was why she was present.

As for Hayley, Penny hadn’t been present during her interview, so this revelation was completely new to her. She could only wonder if she had missed some crucial information—had she gotten Yugi mixed up with T. Mouse?

Yugi maintained his easygoing smile as he studied their expressions.

“Anyway, it’s not all that bad. She’s not usually like that. Penny is actually very kind, so don’t be scared of her. Unless, of course, you do something that could implicate the company… then, well…”

His smile didn’t falter, but something in his tone shifted. The subtle drop in his voice sent a shiver down their spines.

“…you’re done for.”

Their breaths hitched at the brief change in his demeanor, but just as quickly, Yugi’s cheerful expression returned.

“So, see you tomorrow? If you’re still interested, come in the morning and go straight to Human Resources to sign your contract and negotiate your salary. They’ll know what to do.”

With that, Yugi chuckled, waved at them, and turned away—spotting the doctors waiting outside.

As he stepped out, he overheard Penny making a remark about Zoren. With that, he saw no need to intervene and simply greeted the medical staff instead.

The hospital director quickly approached Yugi to discuss the required medical exams for the four applicants as part of Prime Group’s hiring process. They spoke briefly before the director handed Yugi off to another doctor, needing to attend to more pressing matters.

Meanwhile, Patricia, Teddy, Shawn, and Hayley remained rooted to the spot, motionless.

After a long moment, they exchanged glances, but no words came out. Their minds were overflowing with questions, but Patricia was the first to break the silence.

“Yeah,” Patricia finally sighed, rubbing her temples as the others turned to her. “That’s the CEO of Prime Group. I don’t know who T. Mouse is, but Yugi Cortez is definitely not the one calling the shots. It’s her—that crazy woman. Gosh! Why did I even apply to work for her when I know she’s the craziest, the biggest bully of them all, and just the worst kind of monster?!”

Patricia groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose. She was actually regretting her life choices.

Just because Penny’s office looked nice from the outside, Patricia had momentarily forgotten that she didn’t need a magic mirror to tell her who the craziest of all was.

But before she could wallow in her poor decisions any further, a voice spoke up behind her.

“Miss Smith, I am the director of this hospital, Doctor—”

Patricia raised a brow and slowly turned around, her eyes landing on the doctor inside the ward. He stood by the foot of the bed, addressing Cassandra—who was still on the floor on the other side.

“…I’m afraid I have to discharge you today,” the doctor said sternly. “Upon reviewing your records, there is no medical reason for you to remain hospitalized. Going forward, any future admissions will be carefully reviewed to determine if you truly require treatment.”

His voice remained polite yet firm, not sugarcoating the message, but also not outright stating it.

Even a child could understand what he meant, though.

He was kicking Cassandra out.

Patricia pursed her lips, glancing between the doctor and Cassandra. She couldn’t see Cassandra’s full expression from behind the bed, but she could see her head peeking out.

“Well…” Slowly, a smirk tugged at Patricia’s lips.

At the same time, another doctor approached their group to conduct the medical evaluations required for their Prime Group employment. The three newcomers snapped out of their daze, glancing at the doctor in confusion, unsure of what was happening.

Patricia, however, simply nodded and followed along.

Meanwhile, the hospital director offered Cassandra a hand to help her up.

“Please, let me assist you,” he said.

But instead of accepting his help, Cassandra slapped his hand away.

“You will regret this,” she hissed, gripping the edge of the bed as she pulled herself up. Her eyes burned with rage as she glared at him. “I’ll make sure this matter is taken seriously. How could you let someone like that get away with barging into a patient’s ward?”

The hospital director didn’t even flinch. “I’ll have someone assist you with your discharge paperwork. Unless, of course, you need a family member to help you?”

“Tch.” Cassandra clenched her teeth, forcing herself to stay composed as the director inclined his head slightly.

Without another word, he turned and left, having already said everything he needed to.

Cassandra was just about to scream in frustration when the door suddenly swung open again.

“Hey!” Patricia poked her head in, grinning.

Cassandra snapped her gaze toward her. Then Patricia stuck out her tongue and pulled one of her cheeks down.

“Bleh!”

Before Cassandra could react, Patricia bolted, laughing as she ran off to get her medical test done.

Cassandra, on the other hand, clenched her fists, her face turning bright red.

“That… BITCH!” Her enraged scream echoed through the ward.

Patricia, already several steps away, halted at the sound. She turned back slightly, a smirk playing on her lips.

“Hihihi. Karma’s a bitch. Ahh… that feels good!”

And with that, she continued walking, her laughter fading down the hall.
