Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Tiana the Guardian

When Nina cautiously headed to the second floor, she caught Allison and Jessa heading to the kitchen. Jessa still had this sharp look at Allison, but Allison maintained a gentle demeanor. From a bystander’s point of view, they were like an angel and the devil.

"Tss." Nina rolled her eyes and shook her head, thinking this was much better.

While everyone was busy ignoring her, she might as well take advantage of it. Nina hurried to Penny’s room with cautiousness, thinking she still had to be careful not to raise suspicion. Soon, she stood outside Penny’s bedroom.

Excitement quickly replaced the displeasure in her heart. Nina carefully opened the door, peeking her head in.

"Good. The frog isn’t here," she mumbled and stepped inside, closing the door behind her carefully.

Nina tip-toed her way in, heading to the bedside table first.

"What is this?" Nina picked out a small notebook and checked the contents. However, looking at the numbers and some drawings that looked more like a planning map, she furrowed her brows. "I don’t understand it."

She shook her head, telling herself it was nothing. She placed the notebook back and checked the other drawer. The second drawer only had some snacks in it.

"That glutton." Nina clicked her tongue and glanced at the bed. She inspected under the pillows just in case before she moved on. Nothing was there.

Scanning the room, Nina quickly went to the closet to check if Penny had hidden it there. Nina was looking at all the places where she would hide things. That keychain was important, so Penny should’ve hidden it securely.

Searching for something without turning things upside down was hard. Nina couldn’t leave evidence she was in here. Five minutes had gone by, but there was nothing in the closet aside from some notes underneath the pile of clothes.

"This is frustrating," she hissed. "Why do I have to look for it like a thief? This is my house." _{freēwebnovel.com}

Nina glared at the new dress hanging in the closet one last time. "She even got new clothes, tch." She shut the door out of frustration, turning around and her eyes immediately searched the room. When her gaze fell on the study desk, her eyes lit up.

"Right." She dashed toward the study desk, checking the drawers instantly.

The moment she pulled the first drawer open, she quickly saw this pink broken piece just lying around in the corner.

"That’s it." Her lips stretched, reaching out to pick it up.

For some reason, Nina felt like her movement slowed down as she held her breath. Now, no one would tie her up with the incident. Even if she couldn’t delete her account in the fans’ club, without this keychain, finding the real culprit would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.

However, inches before her hands reached the piece, something huge and dark landed on the back of her hand. The texture was weird, a combination of slight coldness, slimy, and smooth.

"Kyah!" Nina let out a short squeal as she retrieved her hand, her other hand clasping it. Her eyes shook, searching for the abomination that touched her hand. When her eyes fell on the rain frog on the desk that was looking up at her, Nina intuitively jumped away.

’I’ll be careful,’ Nina took a slow and careful step forward. ’That piece is much more important.’

Squeak!
