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

Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Rest in peace

Silence hung in the air as neither Penny nor Hugo spoke for several minutes. Penny rewatched the footage for the umpteenth time, while Hugo observed her quietly.

'She was really different last night,' he thought. 'Although I simplified what happened, it still bothers me.'

Because at the end of the day, Penny wasn't just drunk last night. She was conscious of her actions, and everything she did was precise. Hugo had to admit that while he might win in a brawl against her, it didn't mean she didn't stand a chance.

What stood out most was her rage. She had looked at him as if he were her enemy, which didn't make sense, as they had always been partners. Just like now, Hugo was feeding her all the information she needed.

"Penny?" he called, noticing she had been quiet for longer than usual. "Are you okay?"

"Mhm." Penny snapped out of her deep thoughts and forced a smile. "I just feel bad, that's all. I'm sorry, Second Brother. I didn't know I hurt you."

Hugo offered her a warm, understanding smile. "It's alright."

"It's not... look at you."

"Well, this is nothing compared to what we go through on the battlefield." He chuckled. "To be honest, I have to admit, it was a bit thrilling. Though it's not the kind of thrill I'd prefer, it's been a while since I fought someone like that. It's just a shame I could only defend myself."

Penny let out a weak laugh. "You're still the biggest troublemaker. I only cause trouble when I'm drunk."

"So, listen to First Brother now. Don't drink any alcohol. I learned my lesson today and will start listening to him more."

"Same." She exhaled deeply. "Second Brother, is there anything else I said last night?"

"Hmm..." Hugo tilted his head back, humming for a while before shaking his head and looking at her. "No, that's all you said."
