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

"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.
