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

158 Where do you think this hand is going? "Penny, are you blind?!"

Everyone turned to Patricia, catching her approach as if she was walking down the runway. When Patricia stopped, she folded her arms under her chest and snickered at Nina. "Everyone in here knows Nina is fit to be an actress! She acts like a damsel in distress, letting others pick on her so others fight her own fights. She's a coward, but at the same time, cruel!" Patricia pitched, letting everyone hear her to get her point across. "Girls, don't blame Penny for taking pity on her. She's not the first victim to fall for this snake's tricks. I fell for it, and what did I get in return? She tried to pin me on a crime she committed! She framed me, her best friend, who believed in her through and through!"

She smiled magnanimously before she sneered at Nina. "Nina, aren't you ashamed? These girls already apologized, but you chose to threaten them and eat the basically trash for

to gain sympathy. After what you've done to Penny, you're trying to use her to protect you! It's so shameful I even feel embarrassed for you!"

With Patricia now here, the girls regained their confidence. They nodded approvingly, glaring at Nina, but not Penny.

Nina, on the other hand, clenched her teeth. She looked away bitterly.

"That's not what I meant...!' was what she wanted to argue, getting frustrated at being accused of something she didn't want to do.

For the first time, Nina didn't want to be pitied. She simply wants them to leave her alone!

"I just want to eat..." Nina hung her head low, her quiet and shaky voice finally escaped her mouth. "Please... just leave me alone.

"Here she goes again." Patricia rolled her eyes and glanced at everyone in the cafeteria. Her heart was pleased upon seeing that everyone was not buying Nina's act. "Nina, that pity card is now powerless. Goodness! Don't you really have no shame? Can't you see everyone is just disgusted at you at this point?"

Nina snapped her eyes up and intuitively looked around. Her heart sank the moment she saw the look on everyone's faces. It wasn't like she was trying to gain sympathy, but the judgemental look in their eyes wasn't also pleasant to see.

"I can't believe I trusted and even saw you as my bestie!" Patricia shook her head, giving Nina a look of disgust as if she was nothing but a piece of dung. "You disgust me. Nina's heart shook, but she tried to hold her tears back.
