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

Chapter 424: A big fan

SPLASH!

Nathaniel gasped for air as a bucket of liquid was dumped over him. His eyes shot open, his mouth agape. But when he took a breath, he quickly clamped his mouth shut, realizing the liquid wasn't just water.

It was gasoline.

His heart raced as the reality of his situation sank in. He instinctively sat up, only to discover his feet were bound together, and his hands were tied behind his back. He was also not in his filthy small apartment, but in a sparkly lit wide living

"Good evening."

Nathaniel's frantic thoughts came to a screeching halt upon hearing a man's deep voice. His shaky, wide eyes moved to the source of the voice, and his breath hitched the moment they landed on Zoren.

Zoren sat comfortably in a chair, one leg casually crossed over the other, arms resting on the armrests. His dark eyes seemed even darker than in the pictures Nathaniel had seen, and though he was pale, he didn't look as ghostly in person.

'Didn't they say his pet was a black panther?' Nathaniel thought, his mind wandering despite the danger. 'Was that just a rumor? Impossible, right? I was certain he had a black panther, not a beautiful cat!'

He scrunched up his nose, lifting his gaze to Zoren once more. The man looked different from the photos and reports Nathaniel had seen. He wouldn't be surprised if the black panther was just an exaggeration.
