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

Chapter 1295: Don't tell me they dated before?

Theo's reaction upon laying eyes on Cassandra was suspicious. It wasn't the look

of admiration a man would give to a woman as sophisticated as Cassandra. Rather, it was a look of surprise laced with fear. Patricia noticed that. Their relationship may have been strained for many years, but she knew her brother inside and out.

Something was not right.

"So, Brother Theo, would you tell me who that woman was?" Patricia's voice shattered the silence between them. "And stop playing with your food."

Theo flinched, snapping back to the present. "Huh?"

"I didn't want to pry, but if you're acting like that, I will." She frowned. "Who is she? An ex or something?"

"What? No!" He shook his head. "You don't know her, Patricia?"

"Why would I? Is she important?" — more important than her?

"Haha..." A weak laugh escaped him. "You're right. She's not important."

"But I'm still curious how she knew me. I know I'm popular, but I don't like it when people act as if we're close. Only I get to do that, not others."

Theo smiled wryly. "It's Cassandra. Don't you remember her? She was part of the Star Section-Finn's ex-fiancée... and also, my former classmate."

"Cassandra...?" Patricia furrowed her brows, searching her memory. It didn't take long for her to remember. After all, she'd had a huge crush on Finn back then. But he had been engaged since birth. So, even though Finn had quite a number of admirers in the past, they knew he was already taken.

Her mouth formed a round shape while Theo nodded.

"That's right," he said. "That's her."
