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

Chapter 415: Just what did this guy do?

"Why are you interested in him, by the way?"

"Just... because," Penny cleared her throat. "Uncle Wild, did you get anything else? Like information about his clients, where he works, and what scam he was running before he disappeared?"

"Yes, thankfully. I sent it to you," Wild replied. "Penny, how's that brat Angel, by

the way?"

"Your nephew is doing okay. I deployed him to the Piersons."

Wild's face soured. "Tell me, seriously. Why did you deploy your best men to someone else? Do you have a death wish?"

"Uncle, I'm not in danger, so I don't need my security at the moment," she smiled. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Anyway, I gotta go. I'll check the files and—"

Penny ended the call before she could even finish her goodbye, sensing that Wild wouldn't let her off so easily.

"The specters," she whispered. "Why did they target Nathaniel in this lifetime?"

The Phantom Circle wasn't a full-blown crime group, nor were they part of any government entity. They were more of a vigilante group - an elite vigilante group. What made them so frightening wasn't their mysterious actions, but the fact that they weren't afraid to take on anyone.

If Penny based everything on her previous life, Nathaniel should be approaching her anytime soon. Or rather, someone from the Bennet family. After all, this guy had no issues with the Phantom Circle in their previous life.
