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

Chapter 1233: Like the trash they were

Villains were not born, they said. They were created. But in this case, perhaps... this was not how villains were made. Maybe they had always been born like this.

It was the reason she had done everything she could to outshine Penny, but Penny was naturally smart and kind. No matter how hard Nina studied as a child, Penny would still get better grades. And because of her sweet and compassionate nature, people were drawn to her.

Therefore, Nina resorted to framing Penny and dragging her down, painting a reputation that nothing Penny did could change. It worked because people started shunning her. Even so, Nina knew she couldn't be complacent-she would never be complacent. Not even for a second.
