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

Chapter 1753: Man down

DING!

Penny blinked slowly as the elevator doors parted before her. With another nudge behind her, she stepped forward without hesitation.

"There’s a car at the end," Shawn instructed. "Go in there."

She didn’t answer, but she still listened. Walking past a few parked cars and her own motorbike, Penny caught sight of an unfamiliar black sedan. As they approached it, she noticed someone already seated in the driver’s seat. Shawn moved toward the backseat.

"Open it and get in," he said as she lingered by the door.

Penny still didn’t respond but reached for the handle. Just as she opened the door, she paused and glanced over her shoulder.

"Shawn," she whispered, "you will regret this—and it won’t be me who makes sure of that."

Shawn’s jaw tightened, and he pressed the gun into her back. "Go in."

With a sharp huff, Penny placed her foot inside. But as she did, she suddenly felt a sting on the side of her neck. Her hand instinctively shot to the spot, her eyes widening as she turned to look back at him.

"You..." Her words faded, her vision doubling almost instantly. The rest of her sentence died in her throat as her eyes slowly turned white.

A second later, she collapsed unconscious into the backseat.

Shawn exhaled deeply and tossed the syringe aside. He quickly scooped up her legs and moved her fully into the seat. Once she was secured, he jogged around the car and jumped into the front passenger seat.

"Let’s go," he said to the person behind the wheel.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror to check on the unconscious Penny. Without wasting another second, the tires screeched as the car sped off.
