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

Chapter 422: Yey, cheat day!

"Ouch!" Penny yelped as she hit the ground hard, landing violently on the lawn. She winced, crumpled up on the grass, and started questioning her life choices. "Ouch... ouch... that was a freaking bad fall."

She lay there for a moment, lamenting her situation until she managed to recover. It was good that her mind, body, and soul had been well-trained in prison. After all, she used to get beaten up pretty badly when she was what they called "fresh meat."

Even though Penny had already been trained before as a free woman, she initially tried not to fight back, thinking the beatings would eventually stop. She quickly learned it didn't work like that when she was nearly killed in her sleep. That's when she learned to fight back. Still, she wasn't immortal, and she didn't have superpowers to make her immune to the pain and injuries from all the blows and cuts she received in the fights.

"Ouch..." she whispered, this time more calmly, as she lay on the grass. She stared up at the canopy above her and smiled. "I'm fine now!"

Penny was about to jump up when she heard men's voices nearby. Immediately, she rolled onto her stomach and crawled backward until she was hidden behind the bushes.

"Huh?" She scrunched up her nose as a leaf brushed against her nostrils. "What the heck?"

She swatted the leaf away, drawing her head back. "Since when did they have plants here?"

At least she had a place to hide.

Penny cautiously peeked over the bush, spotting some uniformed men smoking and talking.

"Who are they?" she murmured, furrowing her brows. "Did they bribe the officers to get in?"

Having visitors in that hell wasn't unusual, and Penny knew that all too well. She had seen plenty of them before. Glancing around at her surroundings, she took in the vast expanse and the mansion standing over the distance.

"Huh?" She blinked, then blinked harder. When she opened her eyes again, her mind tried to correct what she was seeing.
