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

Chapter 1511: Told you it's not your fault

Meanwhile...

Nina glanced around the grocery store, listening to the casual conversations of the shoppers. Since walking in, she had overheard the Smith family mentioned at least five times.

Almost everyone is talking about it, she thought, sighing and shaking her head. Though I can't blame them.

The recent case involving the orphanage and the Senator's granddaughter had been making headlines. That's why Nina had stopped watching the news for a while she didn't want to dwell on it too much. After all, she was only concerned about one thing in this whole fiasco:

Finn.

Finn was on a short business trip, something he had to fulfill before taking another long break. The two of them had plans, and since Nina's unemployment, he wanted to spend more time with her. They also wanted to focus on their wedding preparations.

However, Finn would be coming home today.

He could've heard the news or not, but the point was that Cassandra was still his childhood friend. Despite everything that had happened between them, Nina knew Finn wasn't heartless enough to ignore everything about it.

A nice meal might cheer him up a little, she thought, smiling as she continued her usual grocery shopping.

The supermarket wasn't Nina's usual place. However, it was the closest to Skyline Plaza. It wasn't a big change, though-the prices were usually the same, maybe just a centavo higher.

Just as Nina was picking out some fresh produce, she heard a familiar voice from the side.
