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

Chapter 1283: Did you see her?

Another moment of silence filled the room as neither Penny nor Slater broke it. Slater kept his eyes on his sister, while Penny kept her gaze downward.

"One more thing we should remember is..." she trailed off, slowly raising her eyes to meet Slater's. "Someone's going to kill him."

"If not me, then I'm sure they'll find someone else to do it." Slater let out a shallow breath. "Initially, I don't know why I was chosen. It's not that I'm special, to be honest. It's just... even if I fail, nothing will trace back to me."

"Did Zoren manage to find those people?"

"I don't know." Slater shook his head. "Though I did pay them all a visit — killed a few, but the people who taught me the skills I use are nowhere to be found. They all just disappear without a trace, which doesn't surprise me. After all, they were a powerful group that moved in total secrecy."

Penny rocked her head and snapped her eyes to the board. But before she could say anything, Slater pulled out his phone and tapped on it.

DING!

Her brows rose as she shifted her gaze to him.

"I sent you something," he said, placing his phone back in his pocket. "You might not need it since you've already seen it, but I think it should be on the board."

Curious, Penny took out her phone and checked the message he had sent. It was a photo of a woman's portrait.

"This is..."

"Naylani," said Slater. "I took it from the Old Pierson Residence."

"You stole it?"

Slater pressed his lips together and shrugged. "I needed it."
