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

Chapter 1130: Its mere existence is a threat

"... I need your help."

Another moment passed in silence as neither Mint nor Penny spoke another word. Penny had thought of other things that had compelled Mint to approach her in a certain way. However, she didn't expect to hear her father's name from Mint's mouth, or Charles's time in the military. Not even the baby swap, even though that was already public knowledge.

"For a brief context, I wasn't looking into the Bennet Family until recently," Mint explained to avoid any misunderstanding. "The case simply led me to look into it, particularly to Charles Bennet and then you."

"Is this the reason you turned up in this town?" Penny asked without beating around the bush, and Mint shrugged. "I knew it. It's a little weird for someone like you to ditch your work just for vacation."

"Don't underestimate my obsession with my little cousin," Mint returned proudly, as if there was something to be proud of about this obsession. "But you see, looking into your family has put my life in quite some danger." freewebnovel.com

Penny raised her chin mildly, eyes still on Mint. 'She's looking into the baby swap?'

"By the look on your face, it seems that I'm not the only person who got into trouble just because I'm looking into your unfortunate past about the baby swap."

"What else do you know?"

"Well, some information here and there," Mint shrugged indifferently. "But you see, I've been feeding you information that can put me in a pickle. You haven't said anything to help me."

"I am already helping you by listening." Penny rested a hand on the railing, eyes on Mint. "Besides, it seems everything I'd say are already things you already know. Yes, you're not the first person to look into the baby swap, and you're not the first person to get in trouble because of it."

"Just like your uncle?"

Penny arched a brow. "Just like him... and the Information Guy."
