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

Chapter 1309: You idiot!

"Aw, aw, ouch!"

Cassandra watched as Max called for help while Lily dragged him by the ear. A shallow breath slipped past her lips as she kept her gaze on the two before finally peeling her eyes away. She raised her brows briefly and took a sip from her glass. As she set it down, her phone rang.

Arching a brow, Cassandra tipped her phone to check the caller ID before answering.

"How is it?" she asked, nodding in understanding. "Good work."

The call was brief, ending as soon as she heard what the other person had to say. Cassandra remained in her spot, picking up her glass once more, the corner of her mouth hooking up slightly.

"Pfft—" She stifled a laugh, her shoulders trembling.

The bartender, who had been serving her earlier, glanced at her with mild curiosity.

"Having a good time now?"

Cassandra slowly lifted her eyes, meeting the bartender's gaze with a smirk.

"I am now."

As she leaned back to enjoy the rest of her drink, a glint flickered across her eyes. After all, the caller had just informed her that... her gift had been delivered.

Meanwhile, just outside the bar...

"Ouch-hey!" Max clenched his teeth and flung his arm away, forcing Lily to release his ear. "Are you insane?! Are you trying to peel my ear off?!"

Lily crossed her arms and deadpanned. "Explain yourself, Max."

"What?"

"You were ignoring me, weren't you?!" she barked. "Not only did you restrict my number, but you've been avoiding all the places I go to!"
