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."

"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?"

"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."

At least, some things that I thought had slipped my mind."
