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

Chapter 1231: Didn't know he couldn't take a joke.

Hearing that Dean had his fun while everyone was away brought ease to Finn's heart. Dean might not have known the depths of it, but Finn was simply glad that Dean was being... just Dean.

On his way out, Finn hadn't planned to linger until he noticed someone in the department.

Stopping, he took a step back and caught sight of Jonathan holding a stack of papers as he walked out. Finn blinked, humming a short tune as he rocked his head slightly. His gaze lingered on Jonathan's figure before he decided to follow him toward the copy machines.

"Tch." Jonathan clicked his tongue quietly as he had to make a few copies of the documents in his hands. He needed ten copies of each page, which meant it would take a while.

"Having fun?"

Jonathan suddenly heard Finn's voice from behind him. When he looked back, Finn was already approaching.

Standing beside the copy machine, Finn was in awe. "Jonathan Pierson, doing some light work in the Pierson Corporation. That's... kind of new, isn't it?"

"I see. So you came here to mock me?"

"No, I came here to see you and mock you." Finn smiled, now understanding Dean's joy. "It's quite a sight to behold. I bet you didn't see this coming when you introduced yourself as a Pierson."

Jonathan's eyes sharpened, his face devoid of anything but darkness. "I guess one accident wasn't enough to set you back, hmm?"

"Why? Are you going to orchestrate another accident?"

"Careful what you accuse others of, Mr. Davis. I might be here now, but you and I both know this isn't where I belong."

"Haha." Finn chuckled, but this time, his smile didn't reach his eyes. "Jon, stop it while you can."
