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

Chapter 968: Alliance formed

"The person who killed me is one of your brothers. That's what I'm saying. Do you want to know which one, Penny?"

Another wave of silence descended upon the ward as Penny and Finn stared at each other. Unlike his previous calm demeanor, Finn's eyes were bitter, and she couldn't ignore them.

She knew it was real because she felt the same. If Penny were about to talk about the person who had enforced her execution and dragged her into that mess, she would also carry such bitterness and anger into her eyes.

But... was she ready to know who it was?

Which one of her brothers could do such a thing? Hugo? At this point, Hugo was the number one suspect, given his experience. No matter how much Penny twisted the facts, Hugo was a soldier. On the battlefield, it was life and death. If not Hugo, then someone else would spill their own blood.

From the time he would share his favorite pudding with her, to standing up for her and taking the blame for eating Slater's chocolates, those times when Hugo would train with Tiana on his shoulders, and his carefree laughter while bragging about her in front of the school basketball team.

Penny could remember all of those moments with her second brother. But at the same time, she remembered just how scary Hugo was in their first life. She remembered that time he beat her in their sparring match with just a few blows, and how he coldly turned his back on her.

Even so, Hugo died before anyone else.
