The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: That worries me

Lola’s mouth fell open as she stared at the gorgeous woman behind the desk. Though her hair was shorter than in the last photo released of her, it made her look more mature. There was barely anything on Penny’s face, yet the room seemed brighter than before.

Penelope Bennet, she thought. No doubt it was her. In the flesh.

Lola gulped, knowing this woman, now approaching her, had just made it onto the list of the most powerful women in the world. Not just because of her successful businesses, her ties to numerous public figures, and producing one of the largest security systems and programs on the market, but also because of her research on the Miracle Drug.

Lola had heard of that drug—everyone had. In conclusion, the woman standing before her was not just successful; she was smart, wealthy beyond imagination, and beautiful. A total package; nothing about her was wasted. If Slater was the star, this woman was the moon—irreplaceable.

The only bad part? She was Atlas’ sister, and Lola knew this wasn’t business, it was personal.

As Penny stopped a step before Lola, the latter couldn’t help but imagine all the things Atlas’ little sister might say.

Would Penny slap her with a stack of money and tell her to stop poisoning her brother? Criticize her for even thinking she and Atlas had a chance? Perhaps warn her, or even threaten her?

Lola mentally prepared for the worst until Penny suddenly stepped forward and hugged her.

Silo: "..."

Haji: "..."

The kids: (grinned)

Lola’s brows rose in surprise, frozen in place. Slowly, she slid her eyes to the woman on her shoulder as Penny hugged her as tightly as possible.

"Huh?" Lola blinked, confused as Penny held her close, consoling her. "Uh... what’s going on?"

"Oh, you," whimpered Penny dramatically. "It must have been tough for you, huh? Don’t worry. I’m here now."

Penny continued to console Lola, and she noticed their audience: the kids grinning, Silo sporting a complicated look, and Haji just confused.

The image of the Bennet family in Lola’s mind was akin to royalty. With their family business a key player in logistics, each sibling was remarkable on their own. They were a powerful clan, and their in-laws came from prominent backgrounds.

So Lola expected the worst, considering how her life often delivered its challenges in the harshest way. She wouldn’t have been surprised if the family disapproved of her. While Lola had her own accomplishments, compared to them, she felt like an ant—a child in the major leagues.

"Right. How rude of me." Seated across from Lola in the nearby café, Penny cleared her throat. "My name’s Penelope, Penelope Bennet-Pierson, but you can call me Penny."

Lola rocked her head. "I know you."

"Of course, you know me." Penny grinned. "Who doesn’t know the beautiful wife of Zoren Pierson?"

"Yay for me, then," she giggled. "That means when First Brother berates me for dropping my kids in your care, I’m saved! I’ll use that in my argument." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
