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

Chapter 1577: make or break the situation.

[PRIME GROUP]

Tak... tak... tak...

Penny tapped the end of her pen against the desk rhythmically. Her eyes narrowed as she stared across her office.

Tak... tak... tak...

The tapping continued until it was the only thing she could hear. With the consistent noise in her ears, her mind began to drift. For some reason, she felt everything was closing in — and yet they still hadn't caught up.

If Nina was part of the discussion later, Penny knew she would have to disclose more information to her as well. The question wasn't whether Nina would agree, but whether Finn would go along with the plan brewing in Penny's mind.

Penny, after all, was aware that what she was about to bring up wouldn't make Finn happy.

"Stephen Bennet still hadn't received a new name, but I'm sure... It's only a matter of time," she thought. "Cassandra is already behind bars, just waiting for her trial."

Nina's mother hadn't shown up again, and for her to evade both me and even Renren's men just tells me that the woman is something else.

Her thoughts looped in her mind like a broken record.

But then again, if Mint and Second Brother's theory were correct, it shouldn't be surprising. If that woman had been on the run all these years, she must have mastered the art of hiding by now.

Then there was Jonathan Pierson, the woman and child on the island, the woman who was killed during Charles's time in the military. On top of that, the lethal drug and the Miracle Drug. And Jonathan had almost been killed. The Information Center only added to the list.

It wasn't like Penny hadn't noticed the slow connection between everything. She and Zoren had rearranged the investigation board not long ago, but something in her gut told her things weren't just moving slowly or randomly. If anything, everything was already in motion behind the scenes, and they were moving fast. Cassandra's case felt more like an unintentional distraction. freewebnovel.com
