Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1217

Chapter 1217: Do it, or I’ll kill him!

[PRESENT TIME]

Grace leaned back, her leg resting over the other, and her foot swinging to and fro under the table. She crossed her arms, her face showing faint confusion.

"I get it," Grace nodded in understanding, eyes on the woman across from her in the café. "You, in a drunken state, hijacked your plane home. But it turns out the plane was already hijacked?"

Penny nodded while sipping her juice. "That’s right."

"No one was hurt. Fortunately, Benjamin took his sleeping pills and slept like a baby. Slater, on the other hand, fell asleep as well because he barely got any rest before your flight. Your other brothers and your husband were fine even after confronting these bad guys, which you managed to tie up throughout the plane ride."

"Uh-huh." Penny rocked her head, still sipping her juice. "That’s right."

"If so, why do you all look like you’ve been through a war when you landed?" Grace asked, still confused about this detail. Although Grace was not there to witness them, she heard about it from Yugi. How Yugi got wind of that detail was something Grace was unsure of, but that was the reason Grace and Penny had met in the café near the Prime Group office.

"Well." This time, Penny placed her juice down and leaned back. Slowly, she gazed up, recalling what had happened.

"Why did you knock him out?" Hugo asked in disbelief. "Since he’s awake, questioning him is the next part."

Penny’s face contorted as she waved a hand in front of her. "Oh, gee! I forgot about that."

"Penny," this time, Zoren called her in a mild yet authoritative tone.

"We’re fine," she said, rolling her eyes. "No one’s hurt. Atlas found the cabin crew, right?"

Atlas nodded. "They were still trying to recompose themselves in the other cabin."

"Then, Slater and Benjamin were also fine!" she continued, casting Hugo a knowing look. "We’re all fine, so why do we need to question them? The police can do that once we land, right?"

"..." All three men just stared at her, rendered speechless by her logic. They knew these guys would be questioned, but this flight was a sixteen-hour flight. Wasn’t it better if they figured out what else these people were up to?

"Chill, chill." Penny laughed and waved her hand dismissively. "These guys are already contained. So, let’s just treat this flight as—"

Before she could finish, Penny grabbed the seat near her at the sudden turbulence.

"What the—" she halted, looking up, holding on to the seat to keep herself from falling.

"What’s going on?" Atlas asked with concern.

"Just probably turbulence," said Hugo, keeping himself still with his body on the seat near him. "I’ll go check and maybe assist the captain. He might need help."
