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

Chapter 578: You're alive

"How about my death?! Didn't you think it was a nonsensical sentence?! Did it make sense to you?!"

Thick silence hung in the air, with Penny's voice echoing.

Nathaniel's eyes shook as he gazed at the person sitting on him. He furrowed his brows, but the panic and adrenaline surging through every fiber of his body made it difficult to process the information.

Angel and Mark furrowed their brows and cast Zoren a look for answers. But alas, Zoren gazed down at the pit with equal confusion.

Penny gripped Nathaniel's collar as tightly as she could, her body shaking with all the emotions swelling in her chest.

The more she listened, the more her body trembled with anger. Why? Because most of what he said were the very words she had shouted at the top of her lungs. But they all fell on deaf ears.

"Get me... justice?" Her voice was low and full of sarcasm, but it was enough to stop him. "You'd get me justice?"
