Chapter 84: To win
In the van service, the Bennet boys couldn’t help but set their eyes on Penny’s seat. None of them spoke a word and simply cast each other a quiet look before looking at her again.
For some reason, they could feel that Penny’s on fire.
She wasn’t saying a word and was just staring at the window. However, they could feel the heatwave from the invisible flames engulfing her.
’What happened?’ Hugo mouthed to Atlas, but the latter shrugged. The two of them shifted their eyes to Slater because their third brother was the closest to her building.
Slater’s eyes dilated and quickly shrugged as if mistaking their gaze as an accusing one.
A subtle sigh slipped past Hugo and Atlas as they set their eyes on Penny once more. They planned to ask her if something happened or if someone was picking on her in her class. Penny, after all, only came to school when it was almost the end of the school year.
However, when they arrived home, Penny had already jumped out of the van before they could even ask.
"Miss Penny, welcome home," Butler Jen welcomed her by the main entrance as usual. His brows rose when Penny suddenly took out a small note.
"This is...?" Butler Jen carefully took the piece of paper and knitted his brows. "A list?"
"Butler Jen, can you help me find these things tonight?" Penny asked with a sweet smile.
Butler Jen glanced at her before reading the list once more. "Of course, Miss Penny. We have most of them in the house. But do you need these things in school?"
"I need them in my school," Penny explained, keeping it vague. "It’s for a project."
