Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1253

Chapter 1253: I’m claiming the first reward now.

Nina’s mother was alive?

Impossible.

But that was what Finn was telling Penny.

"Penny, I barely calmed her down," Finn added after his brief yet precise summary of tonight’s events. He glanced at the stairs to check if Nina had finished showering. After taking another breath, he refocused on the call.

"Did you find anything about it?"

"My men lost track of the suspicious woman who approached Nina," Penny replied with a heavy heart. "However, Finn, I don’t think it’s possible. She’s dead."

"I know. That’s what I told her." Finn ran his fingers through his hair again and sat down on the couch. "She also knew that. But... the woman seemed legit — that’s what Nina said."

Another deep sigh escaped him as his jaw tightened, thinking of other possible reasons for this situation. There was a moment of silence on the line before Penny spoke again.

"You think it’s part of his plan?" she wondered, stressing each word. "Jonathan."

"That’s the only person who could do this," Finn breathed out. "He knew her. She’s his... ex-wife. It must be his plan."

"..." Penny pressed her lips into a thin line and nodded. "We’re already looking into him, Finn. No harm will come to Nina."

"Penny, I’m putting everyone in your hands," he emphasized. "Please. I know it’s hard to do something without compromising anything right now. But we can’t let him have it his way all the time."

"Who says he’s having it his way all the time?"

This time, Finn didn’t answer.

"Finn, if that person gets his way, it’s because I allow him to," she said. "Patience. We’ve been fighting a patient fight, Finn. If he’s taunting us, it’s because he wants one of us to react. Don’t let him have it his way."

His mouth pressed into a thin line, and he rocked his head. Running his hands through his hair again, his shoulders relaxed a little, and he felt slightly at ease. Even so, he couldn’t help but notice that ever since he had embraced this relationship, he didn’t recognize himself anymore.

Back then, a little taunting wouldn’t make him flinch. If anything, he would find some entertainment in it. But now, even the slightest inconvenience had him calling Penny for help.

Was he really doing things correctly? _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}
