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

Chapter 1016: But if it will help me, then... it's worth a try

The next day, Patricia paced back and forth in her room. She had been biting the tip of her thumb, thinking that she had already searched every corner of the house to find that file. She even snuck into her parents' room and her brother's room, but Theo's vault was locked.

"Just where did they put it?" she wondered to herself. "I need to get it today, or I'm doomed. I already talked to a realtor — ah, goodness!"

Patricia flinched when she heard her phone ring, filling her with nothing but dread. Her shoulders tensed up as her face hardened. Turning her head toward the bed, she gulped nervously.

"It's him," she whispered. "It's him... for sure."

Patricia felt her entire body shake as the pressure escalated. She promised the buyer of the information that she would give him the document last night. But unfortunately, the file had gone missing, making the buyer question if she had even seen the file properly.

She swore on her life that she had seen it with her own eyes and promised to give it to him today. But how would she do that when she had already spent an entire night and the whole morning searching?

"Gosh..." she hissed. "I wouldn't be this stressed if it weren't for that useless brother of mine interrupting me!"

Again, it was Theo's fault.

Everything was Theo's fault- even her misfortune was his.

"Why did I have to have such a ridiculous brother?" she spat out, stomping her feet as she picked up her phone to check what the buyer had sent her. As soon as Patricia picked it up and checked, her lips curved down.
