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

Chapter 186

186 Perhaps, that will keep you alive.

[Bennet Mansion]

Standing in the great hall, Charles and Haines engaged in talk while Allison was seated on the

couch.

"Well, let him be: Charles massaged his nape. "It's a good thing this is the only thing I did after what their family did to my son."

Haines sighed and shrugged. When his eyes fell on Allison, his face twitched. "Allison, don't tell me you're not appeased with this yet?"

"How could I feel appeased?" Allison huffed. "Slater suffered for a year and cutting them off feels lacking"

"Well, it can't be helped. Charles threw himself beside his wife. "Even I don't feel satisfied, but we have to take it slowly. Otherwise, our company will just look like we're bullies."

"We still have to think of the company's reputation," Haines nodded, and the three of them sighed in unison.

Deep in their hearts, they knew they still had to report the bullying incident to the headmaster. Allison even wants to sue the school for it. However, they wanted to respect Slater's request. No. matter how wrong it felt, Slater didn't want to make it a big deal anymore.

They didn't want to put Slater in the spotlight again and make him relive the nightmare he endured and survived.

"Anyway, are you leaving with Penny today?" Haines changed the subject.

"Yes. She wants to visit Grace and her mother. I heard Grace's mother woke up last night." Charles grinned happily. "I'm so glad she's fine."

"I heard what happened," Haines remarked, giving Charles a knowing look. "That's dangerous." Allison then slapped her husband's shoulder and glared at him.

"Ouch!" Charles quickly rubbed his shoulder and looked at his wife pitifully. "Honey, I thought we're alright now?"

"And then I remembered," she huffed. "Don't do that again, okay?! With or without Penny, don't put yourself in a dangerous situation again!

"Yes, yes. I know-" he coaxed, but deep in his heart, he didn't regret it.

It might be dangerous, and he understood his wife's worries and fears. However, for the first time in a long time, he felt... proud. If Charles hadn't intervened, that poor woman would've been chopped into pieces before the officers came.

If that happened, they would be attending her wake and not visiting her in the hospital.
