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

149 The start of a nightmare

Back in Nina's room, Nina jumped on the bed in irritation.

"Did they think I'm a fool to think they're just pretending not to know?" she hissed. "With how big Jessa's mouth is, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire neighborhood already knew about it." She snapped her tongue once again, jumping out of the bed to pace back and forth. She thought of what to do for now, knowing she couldn't give up just yet. With all the rumors circulating about her and with Patricia now an enemy, Nina had to think of something.

With that thought in mind, Nina went to pick up her bag to get her phone. As she did so, she caught her wallet. Nina had been spending her allowance on her transportation and some fancy foods outside. She didn't like eating in this household and her taste was too expensive for convenience store foods. O

"Huh?" She hummed as soon as she opened her wallet, taking out the few bills that were left in it. "This is all that was left?"

Counting the money in her wallet and then thinking of the date when she would get her allowance, this money wasn't enough. She frowned.

"Why can't my parents give me a service?" she hissed in dismay, thinking she wouldn't have to use her own allowance if the Bennet Couple offered to give her a school service. "What should I do now?" She wondered, thinking that even if she stopped eating out, her remaining allowance wouldn't still last. Nina intuitively grabbed her phone and searched for old Mrs. Roswald's number.

She placed the phone in front of her ear, waiting for it to ring. But alas, the call didn't even go through.

"Out of service?" she muttered and then tried calling once more. The operator was still the one she heard.

Bitterness spread across her face as she gazed down at her phone. "Is she abandoning me now too? Did Penny already poison her?" She clenched her teeth angrily, assuming Penny was already trying to gain favor from the elders.

Little did Nina know, or rather, what she forgot was that old Mrs. Roswald had a flight today. Her grandmother already told her about it in passing, but Nina was too busy gaining her sympathy, she didn't quite get it.

"No. I don't think Penny can do all of these things all at once!" Nina shook her head, telling herself not to jump to conclusion yet. "My allowance can still suffice for a few days..."

slowly lifted her eyes toward the door. Without saying anything, Nina carefully opened the door and gazed
