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

Chapter 1408: That wraps up the final interview

"He won't be able to save you. In fact, you know him, don't you? He'd kill you himself before he lets you ruin the reputation he spent decades building."

Cassandra whimpered through her tight, quivering lips. For a second, all she could do was stare at Penny, who mocked her not just with words but by tapping a metal pole against her head. But Cassandra couldn't care less about that right now-she was too busy swallowing the rising fear in her throat.

This woman... she was still crazy.

Penny, on the other hand, raised the pole again-this time, striking Cassandra's cast on the side.

"Pathetic," she spat under her breath. "Get rid of this cast. You're clearly not fooling anyone. If anything, you're only hassling yourself by wearing this."

While Penny continued to lecture Cassandra, Patricia, Shawn, Hayley, and Teddy stood frozen at the doorway, horror etched on their faces. They hadn't wanted to enter earlier, but Yugi had encouraged them to watch as if this were something they should enjoy.

They didn't enjoy it. Not even for a second.

"Oh, God..." She pinched the bridge of her nose, already tallying up the problems this situation would bring. 'She lays low for months, but whenever she causes trouble... I always end up staying up all night for an entire month just to clean up her mess.'

Grace might as well just forget about daily birthday dinners and make it an hourly celebration if she wanted to be sixty.
