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

Chapter 154

"Auntie, why do you hate me so much?" Nina covered her lips as soon as she realized the

question that flew out of her mouth. Her eyes shook while gazing at Jessa.

"What do you mean?" Unbothered by the question, Jessa simply arched a brow.

Nina cleared her throat and observed her auntie first before clarifying. "If you hate me so much, why do you want me here?" Did Penny ask her?

"Who said I hate you?"

"What?"

"You're a brat and everyone's annoying at your age, but I don't hate you."

Nina's brows knitted in confusion. "But even from the start, you kept calling me that "wench" child, and that I'm a bad fruit from a bad tree.

"Then be nice, you brat." Jessa snapped her tongue and looked away. "If I hate you, you'd know I hate you. But I don't. The person I hate is that wench the one who gave birth to you. That bitch... she makes me angry even after death. What a talent.

Nina played with her fingers, now curious about her birth mother. "What is she like? My mother?"
