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

Chapter 1080: Liars

Meanwhile...

"What now...?" Angel grumbled, driving very slowly with the beams off, following Patricia.

After she ran away from the Miller estate, Angel told himself it wasn't worth it. He had a long day today, and he shouldn't waste his time getting his hoodie back. Zoren Pierson was his employer, and Penny was his boss.

He could just ask them for a favor, using their connection as a bonus, right?

But here he was, driving like a snail while Patricia was walking on the side of the road. His face contorted when he glanced at the side of the road and saw a snail moving past his car.

"Damn... I'm slower than a snail," he grumbled, snapping his eyes to the

windshield. He kept a few meters behind Patricia, watching where she was heading. By the looks of it, she was headed out of the subdivision, which would at least take her around fifteen to twenty minutes on foot.

His brows rose as he saw her shoulders trembling, her arms moving as if she were wiping her eyes. He shook his head. Whatever happened at the Miller estate in the short time she was inside, Angel had a few guesses.

One, her parents scolded her for not coming home for a week. With her personality, she could've blown up. If not that, she could've thrown a huge tantrum the moment she came home, and when her family didn't console her like usual, she stormed out crying.

"Gee..." Angel ruffled his hair in irritation, propping his elbow on the window with his knuckles on his jaw. His eyes remained on her figure as he sighed. "She really is a headache. Surely, Penny knows exactly how to tick me off."
