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

Chapter 438: What seems to be the problem, my love?

"Die!" Penny froze when she felt a cold hand clamp down on hers, stopping her. Her right brow arched as she glanced over her shoulder. "Tss."

A hiss escaped her, clearly displeased by the interruption. A deadly glint flickered

in her eyes as she focused back on the man beneath her. Penny didn't say a word, simply staring at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel, on the other hand, whimpered under her gaze. He could feel that despite being stopped, she had already butchered him a thousand times in her mind. He looked at the man standing behind Penny, gripping her arm.

"Boss..." Nathaniel whimpered, "... I think she came to kill me. Please help."

"Sir" one of Zoren's bodyguards began to speak but stopped when Mark whistled. Turning to their captain, they saw Mark shaking his head. No one dared to go against his order and remained on standby.

If Mark had signaled not to interfere, they wouldn't. After all, if anyone would take a bullet or sacrifice a limb for Zoren, it would be Mark.

Penny laughed wickedly. "Boss?" she hissed, assuming the man holding her was Nathaniel's boss. "Very well."
