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

Chapter 1641: I also want to show them... this.

Cassandra pressed her hands on the sink, her head hanging low. Her lips quivered, her stomach twisting, making her sick to her stomach. She looked up, staring at herself in the mirror.

It had only been hours since she was released from prison, but only now could she see the difference in how she appeared before her arrest and now. However, her appearance was the least of her concerns now.

"Get it together, Cassandra," she whispered, almost glaring at herself for burdening Kiara and everyone else. "Get. It. Together."

Yet, even if she wanted to, just a moment of silence was enough to make her spiral.

Perhaps, it would be better if tonight hadn't transpired.

If she didn't have to meet Hugo, the Bennets, and Penny, things would've been easier to digest. However, she couldn't.

If anything, meeting them and having Penny surprisingly cover up for her made the knots in her stomach tighten.

While Kiara was in the shower, Cassandra couldn't help but recall everything. And the more she did, the more she felt embarrassed. She was the embarrassment, not Hugo's begging to Atlas. She should be ashamed of Hugo for extending his help this much, considering what Cassandra had tried to do to Nina before her arrest.

And now, Nina's brother-or rather, her family—not only tried to understand her situation, but they were also trying to help her.

She appreciated the help, but at the same time, it made her disgusted with herself.

"Hah..." Cassandra huffed heavily, a tear rolling down her cheek as she looked away from her reflection.

I don't deserve this.

Yet, what made this all sickening was that even if she knew she didn't deserve such treatment, she couldn't refuse.

Why?

Because, at the end of the day, she needed help.
