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

133 Priorities-

SLAP

Just as Nina's hand touched Penny's leg, a hand aggressively slapped her hand away. Nina froze in surprise and everyone in the room.

Slowly, everyone lifted their eyes to the person who slapped Nina's hand away. Much to everyone's surprise, the person who swatted Nina's hand wasn't the person everyone expected. Even Penny was stupefied.

"Third Brother... why did you... did Penny tell you something?" Nina's meek voice echoed.

Most of the time, Slater would carry an incredulous and clueless look. Now, he was glaring at her as if he were looking at his most hated nemesis.

"Penny didn't need to tell me anything because I just know what you did." Slater balled his hands into a tight fist, his heart thudded against his chest. "Nina, do you think begging will help? Dad already decided and begging only looks like you're challenging him. Weren't we taught about begging?"

It was why, even when Slater was being bullied, he never begged his bullies. At least, he would still try to talk back, even if he knew he would just get beaten up. But from what he heard from Hugo, Slater couldn't see Nina the same way.

"Dad, I want to visit Grandma and Grandpa next week." Slater faced his father innocently. "I'm taking Penny with me. Can Nina stay in the Cortez Household next week?"

"Third brother!"

"Nina, just accept what everyone already accepted," this time, Atlas spoke up coldly. "If what your said earlier is true, then you should do it now. After all, before, you didn't know that you and Penny were swapped. So, you lived your life as a Bennet lavishly. But now that you know the truth, you should do what you said previously to make amends."

Penny's eyes widened even more. Without thinking, she quickly extended her short limbs to cover Atlas and Slater's mouths. Good thing they were sandwiching her.

Didn't they say they'd bury Ray alive?! Why were they burying Nina too!? They should do it not in front of her!

“Ha ha!" she laughed nervously. "I'm... sorry. Just checking their temperatures, but I have short. arms. Can't reach their foreheads. Ha! Ha! Ha!" s
