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

Chapter 565: It's the adrenaline

They said we learn from people—and it was true.

In Penny's first life, what Nathaniel taught her was that enemies could smile, laugh, wish you good luck, and call themselves friends without a problem. The pain, disappointment, and rage Penny felt for her family were as painful as it could get, but this guy brought a different kind of pain.

After all, her family should've been her pillar of support, but they never imposed themselves like that. From the beginning, they didn't like her. Therefore, even if they scolded her and never appreciated her, it was almost a given that they'd do such a thing.

But Nathaniel?

Nathaniel posed as a real friend and someone she could trust. He acted like he was her only ally, like he was the brother she never had. That was why, after learning the truth behind her downfall, it broke the only piece that was keeping her together.

All the things she thought she was, she realized she was worse than that after his betrayal. It explains her anger toward this man, and even when Penny thought she was okay with it in this lifetime, she thought wrong.

Standing by the door, her eyes fell on the man crying on the floor like a kid throwing a tantrum. The sight was horrible and ridiculous, but the second their eyes met, Penny found herself frozen in place. She had imagined what she would do or say once she met the person who broke the last piece of her heart, despite knowing that another betrayal meant she would fall apart.

She imagined venting her anger, hurting him the way she hurt, and cursing him to hell. She imagined him begging for his life and so on. But now that he was there, just a few steps away from her, she couldn't speak or think. Like a fool, she stood there frozen, her eyes almost welling up with tears.

What a fool.

Foolish little Penny.
