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

Chapter 600: A mess

"So, that's why your drunken self believes Hugo should've been dead, huh?"

"Yes."

"How about Atlas? What did you do to him? Do you remember?"

"My drunken self didn't say, and honestly, I don't want to know."

"Why?"

"Just because I know what I'm capable of."

"I see."

"How about you?" Penny asked, glancing at the man lying beside her as Zoren accompanied her, staying up late because she couldn't sleep. "Last night... you mentioned a lot of things. Are they true?"

Zoren kept his eyes on the ceiling and hummed. "They are."

"You really did ask Blacky to bite someone?"

"Mhm."

"But he's alive?"

"In my mind, he's dead. He should be."

"Why should he be dead?"

"He almost took away my grandma."

Silence quickly followed Zoren's answer. Both Penny and Zoren stared at the ceiling, sharing a moment of silence. After bathing, they had been talking and then suddenly stopped before continuing again.

"I'm going to keep drinking." Her quiet voice sliced through the stillness between them. "I will keep drinking until she is satisfied with the life I had. I know myself, so I know she won't let go until she thinks it's time. Besides, I think having her existence linger with me brings back some things I had forgotten. At least, some things that I thought had slipped my mind."
