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

Chapter 613: I hit where it hurts

"What the...?" Aiden was momentarily flabbergasted when he saw that Lily had escaped. He looked at the hired men with a disgusted expression, sneering. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Get her!"

"Take another step, and don't blame me for what's going to happen to you." Penny's voice was calm, but it carried a weight that even men like them wouldn't ignore.

The answer was obvious to some people.
