Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1176

Chapter 1176: What the fuck just happened?

The situation at the base was crazy, chaotic, and deadly. Throughout the night, the tension was high, mixed with all sorts of emotions. Gunfire echoed through the place, accompanied by shouts, screams, cries for help, and even the deafening silence of death.

It was an experience none of them had expected to transpire tonight. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Meanwhile, Pierson Island was the complete opposite.

"Woooh!" Lily squealed happily, clapping as the fireworks lit up the sky. "It’s so pretty!"

"Wow..." Ginnie was in awe, watching the sky sparkle with different colors. "... so pretty."

"God damn—can you not scream in my ears?" Max complained, roaring at Lily, who just laughed in return.

James and Allen, on the other hand, simply enjoyed their drinks while watching the fireworks with smiles. Although they weren’t the type to enjoy such things, somehow, watching these fireworks felt magical. They were so beautiful, truly worthy of being a surprise prepared by Penny and Zoren.

"I forgot the last time I watched a fireworks display," Allen murmured, mesmerized by the sparkles in the sky. "Wow..."

James rocked his head and smiled as well, his eyes glued to the sky. "Even on New Year’s, I don’t check. But I guess... I’ll start looking forward to it."

When those words were said, Allen and James looked at each other and laughed. They clinked glasses and chugged down their drinks.

As for Finn, he just stared at the sky absentmindedly. His mind drifted elsewhere, thinking about Penny and the others’ safety. Since they hadn’t returned, Butler Lee had served everyone drinks to enjoy while waiting in the garden around the firepit.

It was more like they continued their bonfire, but with a more intricate furnace in a fancy castle.

One drink turned into two, and before they knew it, they had drunk more and more. Which explained why Lily was doubling down on her craziness.

’They have no idea what’s going on,’ Finn thought, listening to Lily’s laughter, Max’s complaints, and everyone else’s awe. After a moment, Lily looked up and smiled gracefully. Even Max, who had been fighting her a lot today, looked up to watch the beautiful show in the sky.

’They really... have no idea,’ he thought, only to feel a warm hand slip into his. Finn turned to see Nina standing beside him.

Nina squeezed his hand and smiled. "They’re going to be fine," she said reassuringly. "I know because they’re my siblings. And since they’re my family, I’m certain they wouldn’t want you to miss out on this beauty just because of them."
