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

Chapter 1054: I want to see him have a heart attack

Meanwhile...

"You know about this, and you didn't even tell me?" Dean scoffed at Finn, who was seated on the couch from the armchair. "Finn Davis, what's the point of having you here if you just keep doing whatever you want?"

Finn smiled kindly as he shrugged. "I'm sorry."

"Tell me, Finn. Have you changed sides now?" Dean narrowed his eyes. "Have you betrayed me?"

"Betrayal is subjective," Finn returned. "Though it's not like that. It's not Zoren Pierson who approached me and told me his plan. He doesn't trust me that much."

Dean narrowed his eyes when Finn added, "It's Penelope Bennet."

"Penny?" Dean tilted his head. "She asked you to play along? And why would she do that?"

"If you didn't know yet, Nina and I got back together." Finn raised his hand, showing his simple engagement ring. "She took me back when I begged her for one last chance."

"Hah. You begged Nina Reed?" Dean almost laughed. "You?"

Finn smiled and shrugged, not surprised by such a reaction. "I'd go lower for her, Dean."
