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

185 Admittance and acceptance

Penny panicked while looking at Nina incredulously. No one could fault her since this was the first time Nina apologized for something! And based on the look on her face, Nina did seem genuine! What was going on?

Again, Penny couldn't help but wonder if she was teleported to a parallel world or if was she daydreaming. This didn't make sense to her!

Nina forced a smile despite the growing shame in her heart. "I just learned that because it's something I'd do. So, L... I suspect others to do it as well."

"Uh... this is bad, Penny told herself. 'I'm starting to believe her.'

"It's alright, Penny. Just hear her out. Who knows? She might mean this!" the angel on Penny's shoulder encouraged kindly, but the devil on the other side whispered into Penny's ears, "Don't forget everything she's done until now, Penny. This girl is manipulative. It's probably another of her schemes!"

The imaginary devil and angel glared at each other.

Penny mildly shook her head to get rid of this imaginary angel and demon out of her head.

"I admit this is long overdue, but..." Nina trailed off and pursed her lips, holding Penny's eyes. "I'm sorry for everything"

She didn't know why, but her eyes stung a bit. However, Nina held her tears back and bit her inner bottom lips to stop herself. She didn't want Lily and Ginnie to accuse her of trying to frame Penny.

"Honestly, I came here because I want to apologize in hopes that would lift off the heaviness in my heart," she added with a tinge of shame. "But after hearing you and seeing you, I just realized how shameless I am compared to you."

"Uh." Penny was rendered speechless. "Okay?"

Nina's lips parted, but she ended up pressing her lips into a thin line. "You're not good at these things, are you?"

"Is it not obvious?"

"Haha." Nina laughed helplessly. She still wanted to say more, but she knew it was unnecessary. "Did I make you uncomfortable?"

"I'm scared for my life," Penny blurted out without any hesitation. "What evil plans do you have now, hmm?" (1)
