Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

The mere idea that Nina could be this cruel put Penny in a tight spot. Not because this scared her, but because she was worried about some people. Those people were none other than her parents. Her brother might not believe her and simply tell her she was jealous of Nina, but this would hurt Allison and Charles.

Whether they believe Penny or give her the benefit of the doubt, it would hurt them either way. One reason was that they might think they were not giving Penny enough attention that she had to resort to accusing Nina. On the other hand, if she had proven that Nina did such a terrible. thing, they would blame themselves for not raising them right.

Penny balled her hands into tight fists as this weighed in her heart.

"What a dilemma, she whispered. "I can just throw this evidence away and act as if nothing happened."

If she knew the culprit, she would be able to be careful of them. This time, she would be extra careful after realizing what Nina was capable of.

"But alas... some people were wrongly accused and are paying a heavy price for someone else's crimes. Her face twisted in bitterness, getting angrier at the thought.

Just then, Tiana finally reached her and landed on the study desk.

"Tiana, what am I going to do?" she whispered. "I've met people in prison who were wrongfully accused, just like me. But they were still treated as criminals just because that's what our sentencing says." If there was anyone who knew how painful and terrible it was to be wrongfully accused, that would be Penny. So, the thought that Ray's fans were dealing with the consequences of Nina's actions made her stomach turn. At the same time, Penny also had to think about her parents.

This wasn't

about Nina anymore, but the people who were around them and the people who were involved.

"I don't like this situation, Tiana," she sighed, folding her arms over the table while resting her chin on her arms. "It makes me angry that Nina put me in this tricky situation."

What a dilemma.

Penny stayed in her room to think about her next course of action. She hadn't decided even when the twins knocked on her room, telling her they had to go home. So, throwing the dilemma. at the back of her mind, Penny sent her cousins and auntie away.
