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

Chapter 925: Where is she, Ben?

"Penny!!"

"Ick!" Penny flinched as she heard her brother's echoing voice down the empty hallway. Looking back, she caught a glimpse of Hugo's shadow. Quickly, she looked around and jumped into one of the nearby classrooms.

Despite her swift action, she carefully closed the door to increase her chances of losing Hugo. As soon as the door shut, she huffed and rested the top of her head against it.

"Why does he sound like he'd kill me if he gets his hands on me?" she wondered aloud, pushing herself away from the door.

As soon as she turned, Penny flinched when her eyes landed on Benjamin. He was tied to a chair at the teacher's desk, his mouth duct-taped.

"What in the world...?" she breathed out, watching Benjamin struggle while his muffled screams filled the silence of the empty classroom.

A sigh slipped past her lips, only for her to hear Hugo's voice outside the classroom. Looking back at the shut door, she scrunched up her nose.

"Gee," she clicked her tongue, snapping her eyes back to Benjamin. "What are you—hey, be quiet. Tell my brother I'm here and you're dead."

"Mhp!!!" Benjamin reacted, but whatever he wanted to say only sounded muffled.

Penny studied him, then listened to Hugo's call outside. She knew her second brother hadn't reached the classroom yet, but he was close. Knowing him, he was probably taking some time to check the classrooms.

"Fine, fine," she said, marching toward the screaming Benjamin. She stopped in front of him, resting her hands on her knees, eyes locked on his.

Benjamin continued to scream for help, his wide eyes shaking as if he was trying to relay his message with just his eye movements.

"I'll let you go, but if my second brother comes in here, tell him you don't know, okay?" she asked, watching him nod profusely. "Hmm. But I don't trust a loudmouth like you."

"Mhph! Mhmm! Hmp!"
