Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1128

Chapter 1128: They are gonna kill you

If Penny were to describe Mint based on the hours of observation with her, she would say Mint wasn’t a bad person. Mint was a little weird, but Penny was used to weirdness. Atlas had numbed her in many ways.

So, when everyone adjusted to this new person in the group—who seemed to have plans to stay with them until the end of this trip—things started to return to normal. Mint also began to get along with everyone, though it might not have been what others thought "getting along" meant.

In an open bar and restaurant, where everyone agreed to have some fun until late at night, Penny rested on the bar’s front porch. The bar was more like a hut by the beach, where one could have drinks and chill outside on bean bags, feeling the sand beneath their feet, or sit inside the bar, or simply enjoy the small front porch.

Penny leaned against the railing, watching her husband and brothers start the fire by the beach. Lily, Nina, and Ginnie were there to help, though the help Lily could offer was limited to cheering for the boys.

"Hey there." Suddenly, Penny heard Finn’s voice from behind her. "Not helping out there?"

Penny glanced at him as he stood beside her. "You should help them. It’s good for recovery."

"I’m recovering from injuries from the accident, not from a psychological breakdown that ruins my body," he quipped. "The extracurricular activities might be good for your husband, but they could be straining for me. It’s why I missed a lot of those boat rides."

"It’s a good thing you didn’t hold Nina back from enjoying herself."

"This is my relaxation, but also my fiancée’s time to forget about work." Finn slowly turned his gaze to where his fiancée was standing. The corner of his eyes squinted a little as he smiled. "I’m glad we could do both things at the same time. I guess meeting you all here isn’t all that bad. There are a few who stay behind, so I’m not alone, and there’s the extreme team who goes on all these adventures."

Penny studied Finn and still couldn’t fathom how this guy spoke. "You’re scary."

"But not as scary as you." He smiled back. "Anyway, I’ll go join them and set up the bonfire."

But just as Finn turned around, he stopped at Penny’s call.

"Wait," she waited for him to look back at her. "Stay with me for a moment. I need some answers to some things."

"Sure." He returned to his original position. "What is it?"

"That woman, Mint, do you know her?"

"Yes."

"Is she also present in that lifetime?"

Finn smiled back at Penny, but instead of giving an immediate answer, he leaned on the railing and hummed. "Mhm. She’s also there, and I guess her relationship with Zoren Pierson is the same."

"How is it the same?"

"The same. She still sees him as some sort of rival or competitor in everything," he shrugged. "I think it started because of Mr. Vitt. After all, the Vitt family worked for the government. But Benjamin Vitt decided to be your husband’s assistant instead. If you’ve already noticed, Mint is quite fond of Mr. Vitt—just like how your brothers are fond of you."

"I see." Penny nodded, only to hear him ask her a question.
