In the middle of their session with Professor Singh, Penny excused herself to find Butler Jen.
“Butler Jen,” Penny called as soon as she saw Butler Jen talking to the in–house chefs in the kitchen.
Butler Jen turned his head and smiled as soon as he saw Penny. “Yes, Miss Penny?”
“Hello, Miss Penny,” the in–house chefs greeted their favorite child
in the house.
They loved Penny even though they had to add portions of everything because of her big appetite. Even so, watching her enjoying everything they make only gives them more motivation to cook and even explore some dishes.
Penny smiled back at the chefs and greeted them back before she reached Butler Jen. “Butler Jen, did my dad and Uncle Hainese
back?” Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
“No, Miss Penny. But they’re probably on the way. After all, they just visited your grandparents.”
As soon as Penny heard that, her smile stiffened.
Grandparents<i>… </i>
Penny could barely hide her difort at the thought of her grandparents from both sides. In her previous life, her
grandparents were very enthusiastic about meeting her. So, after their incessant nagging, her parents agreed to introduce Penny to

them.
At first, everything was going well until it wasn’t.
Penny lowered her eyes, remembering how even their rtives often tell her Nina was a much better fit as a Be than her.
Some of them couldn’t me Penny, but they didn’t spare her from telling her she had a bad upbringing because she was raised by other people.
<i>‘</i><i>I </i>don’t care about them anymore, <b><i>but </i></b><i>it </i>doesn’t feel <i>good </i>remembering those things from the past.‘
“Miss Penny.” Worryced Butler Jen’s voice when Penny’s mood changed. He offered her a kind smile and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Penny. The elders were strict, but they aren’t that scary.”
Penny smiled and didn’t dwell on the bitterness that crept into her heart. “It’s okay, Butler Jen.”
Butler Jen knew it wasn’t okay, but he didn’t expose her. “Then why are you asking if your father and Sir Haines are already back?”
“Hmm… because I want to tell them if they can postpone Nina’s departure.”
“Hmm?”
“Butler Jen, my first and third brothers, is focusing on their studies while my second brother is preparing for his next game. I don’t think it’s a good timing to tell them about such sad news,” Penny exined, knowing Butler Jen could exin this to her father before they coulde inside the manor. “I think I can persuade my auntie.”

Butler Jen’s eyes softened, and even the chefs in the kitchen
couldn’t help but give her a look of appreciation. What a thoughtful child, indeed.
Butler Jen couldn’t help himself from ruffling her smooth hair. “Miss Penny, you really are so thoughtful.”
“Hehe. Butler Jen, can you tell my dad about it once hees home?” Penny requested politely. “Professor Singh is still in the library, so I might not wee them home when they get back.”
“Of course, Miss Penny.” Butler Jen nodded. “Anyway, I’ve prepared some snacks for everyone and Professor Singh. Can you help me bring them, Miss Penny?”
“Okay!”
Butler Jen chuckled, and with that, they approached the chefs. The chefs happily handed Penny a tray with a big smile.
On their way to the library, Penny and Butler Jen halted at the entryway when they saw As, ter, and Allison sending off Professor Singh.
“Huh?” Penny tilted her head to the side. “Why is Professor Singh leaving so soon?”
Butler Jen also furrowed his brows, but he already had a guess. “He probably has an emergency. Otherwise, he would’ve stayed.”
“Oh…”
At the same time that Professor Singh was leaving the manor,
Haines and Charles arrived.
“Professor Singh!” Charles called and jogged his way to the

entrance. “You’re leaving so soon?”
“Yes, Mr. Be. I have some emergency in the office and I had to go. I’m sorry,” said Professor Singh.
“Oh, it’s alright, Professor. You don’t have to apologize.”
The family and Professor Singh talked for a while before Haines volunteered to walk Professor Singh to his car. He offered to drive the professor, but the professor refused.
“That’s a shame.” Butler Jen sighed. “The chefs prepared him something.”
Penny also sighed, but then she caught Hugo storming in the entryway from the second floor.
“Huh?” Penny furrowed her brows. “Why does Second Brother look
angry?”
“Mom! Dad!” Hugo’s voice rang in the great hall and the entire family inevitably shifted their attention to him. “Is it true?!”
Everyone furrowed their brows in confusion until Hugo spoke again.
“Are you really sending Nina away without any n to tell us?”
Charles and Allison’s breath hitched while As’s face darkened.
“Hugo, watch your tone,” As warned before his parents could even speak.
Hugo red at As and said, “Did you know about this too and
didn’t tell me?”
“Hugo

“She’s leaving tomorrow! When do you n to tell me? Does Penny also know about this?” Hugo continued aggressively. Whatever he heard surely agitated him.
“What do you mean Nina is leaving?” ter asked in confusion, darting his eyes between everyone.
Hearing him, As’s face darkened even more, and red at Hugo. He wanted to discuss this after Professor Singh left with Hugo and his parents. After all, he didn’t want ter to get distracted when he was already having difficulty studying lessons that were lower than his grade level.
But then, Hugo had to blow it out of proportion.
“Kids, let us exin…” Allison trailed off when ter looked up at her and said,
“You’re sending Nina away too?” ter’s voice wasced with disbelief and then was reminded of Penny and Professor Singh’s conversation. <i>‘</i>They’re not <i>only </i>sending Nina <i>away</i><i>, </i><i>but </i>Penny <i>too</i>?”
Watching this unfold, Butler Jen frowned deeply, as he didn’t like the guess he had in his mind. There was only one way the boys would know this if it didn’te from their parents. Remembering Penny’s ns and intentions just now, Butler Jen was even more displeased.
Penny secretly seethed as her grip on the tray trembled, looking up at the second floor and caught Nina peeking over the first floor. <i>“</i><i>That </i><i>little </i>witch… ‘the vein in her forehead protruded. <i>‘</i><i>I </i><i>purposely </i>ignored her <i>pathetic </i>antics because I’m leaving <i>anyway</i>. <i>But </i><i>with </i><i>this</i>? <i>She just </i>made <i>it </i>to the top of <i>my </i>list of <i>priority </i>list.‘
