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

Chapter 1654: Penelope

"I joined what they called their donors. It's basically donating my eggs. That's where it started."

According to Priscilla, it all started with her just donating her eggs for couples who couldn't bear children. She didn't know where those went or who had them, but she just kept doing it. Again and again and again.

All to keep Jason alive.

They promised her that if she could save enough, she could "probably" buy his freedom.

Priscilla believed them.

How could she not?

If Priscilla ever doubted their words, their thin promises, what else would she hold on to?

So, even if it hurt — even if it was exhausting — she did what she thought she had to. Priscilla had done everything she could to save up, even accepting different gigs on top of becoming a donor. One of which required her to clean up crimes and even donate some parts of her body.

Crazy? She had always known she was, at some point. That she was always on the brink of snapping, but somehow, the thread of sanity kept holding on despite her self-destructive journey.

But unlike what she hoped for, her subconscious scream from the very beginning was right.

Jason had long been gone.

He had died even before Priscilla begged their old boss for mercy. They killed him, just like they did many others who tried to escape and betray the organization.

It was too late for Priscilla when she found out. She was already in too deep with no way out.
