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

Chapter 1700: Hypnosis

[BACK IN SKYLINE PLAZA]

Finn stood before the wall, studying it in silence. Penny and Zoren had already left -Penny was going to try hypnosis. She had never done it before, but she had studied it out of morbid curiosity.

So, Finn was here to analyze everything with fresh eyes.

"..." He walked to another area, tracing a particular detail about the Smith Family.

Finn paused, eyes on the little photo of Cassandra.

"Even if I'm disappointed in her, this is still too cruel," he whispered, pressing his mouth into a thin line as he studied it, refusing to let his emotions take over. freewebnovel.com

Deep lines appeared between his brows as he tilted his head. His eyes darted between scattered details that weren't yet connected. After all, based on the vault photos, the road map was originally disorganized—at least compared to how Penny had tried to arrange them.

"Wait a second," he muttered, taking out a pin and moving the photo next to the Smith Family tree. He then stepped back to take a better look at it.

Silence filled the study room as Finn stared at the wall.

"No," he whispered, shaking his head slightly. "Don't tell me he specifically chose the Smith Family because... of me?"

Because Cassandra had been Finn's wife in his previous life-and Finn had betrayed Jonathan. So, in his twisted logic, Jonathan chose to use Cassandra as the scapegoat to divert enemy attention from the Bennets. While the hit on Nina might have been for a different reason, the result was just as twisted.

Using his ex-wife as a sacrifice for revenge against Finn's betrayal, and ending Nina at the same time. Surely, Jonathan had planned for Finn to wish he had died in that accident.
