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

Chapter 1486: Weaken Prime Group

"I told you I'd reach out, didn't I? It's been a while, Nathaniel."

Nathaniel's face soured, but then Atlas spoke.

Damn it. They even let me sleep here, Nathaniel thought, huffing as he dragged himself up and sat on the chair. There was no point in resisting. What mattered was that Penny had finally reached out — albeit in her own twisted way.
