Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1143

Chapter 1143: How about we negotiate with them?

Minutes later...

"I knew it!" Lily huffed. "They left without us! Wait... does this mean they’ve got a surprise for us?"

Max scrunched up his nose at Lily. "Can you shut up for a minute? There’s a sick person here."

"Sick person??" Lily briefly glanced at Ray, who was throwing up on the side of the boat. "Ray was already sick before, though." — sick in the head.

"Well, if Miss Penny told us to get on the island, it’s probably because she has plans," Allen remarked with a shrug. "I wonder what they are."

"Whatever it is, I’m looking forward to it!" Ginnie grinned. "I don’t like surprises, but this is going to be fun."

Max arched a brow at Ginnie’s remark while she chuckled excitedly. Meanwhile, Nina turned to Finn, who had told them to get to Pierson Island because Penny’s group was already there.

"Did Penny really say they went back to the island, Finn?" she asked, noticing the reluctance in his eyes. She pressed her lips into a thin line, holding his hand while nodding at him. "It’s okay if you can’t tell me."

"I’m sorry," Finn whispered. "I’ll let you know once we get there."

"But are they there?"

Finn took a moment before shaking his head. He leaned over and whispered, "Something bad is happening. We need to leave the town first."

"..." Deep lines appeared between Nina’s brows as she looked at Finn curiously and worriedly. However, since Finn was trying his best not to alarm everyone while still giving her bits and pieces of the situation, she didn’t want to let him down.

Reaching out to hold her fiancé’s hand, Nina offered him a subtle smile. "I don’t know what this is, but I’m sure... everything’s going to be fine." She paused, her eyes holding his. "They’re my siblings, after all. So, I know."

"I know." Finn nodded back at her, his voice low. "I’m sorry that I can’t give you the details."

"It’s okay. I know you’re already trying your best, and that’s good enough for me." She squeezed his hand, giving his cold fingertips some warmth.

With that, the group sat in the boat, heading back to Pierson Island, unaware that the Bennets and Zoren hadn’t returned to the island. Finn was simply taking the group to safety in case things went south. Moreover, Finn had to reach Butler Lee for help since Butler Lee seemed to be the only person who could handle the situation.

[Penny and Zoren]

After leaving Mint, Penny and Zoren drove back to get a signal. Penny was the only one with a phone since Zoren thought he didn’t need to bring one—he was with his wife all the time, and Mark was with them too.

Besides, they didn’t expect anything like this to happen.

So, when Penny finally got a signal, she quickly contacted the only person she trusted to handle the situation at the bonfire. Biking their way back would take too long, after all.

"That should do it, right?" Penny snapped her eyes at Zoren. "Finn said he’s got it."
