Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1284

Chapter 1284: What made Renren want to forget everything?

[Short Flashback]

Finn stared at Nina lying on the bed, thinking about his next course of action. Saving Nina was not part of the plan, and he knew Zoren was unhappy about it. Thanks to his long affiliation with Zoren, the latter was letting him do what he wanted.

Still, Finn had no idea what he was going to do at the moment.

Lost in thought, Finn heard the door slide open behind him. Still seated, Finn was about to get up, assuming it was a nurse. However, just before he could, he saw the person’s reflection in the window. He froze on the spot before he felt a cold metal press against the back of his head.

"Hah..." Finn breathed out, only having one thing in mind. ’Zoren was right.’

The corner of his mouth curled up as his eyes landed on the woman lying on the bed. "It’s nice to see you, Slater Bennet."

BANG!

*******

[PRESENT TIME]

"Third Brother, are you the one who killed Finn Davis?"

Penny and Slater held each other’s gaze as the silence thickened. Even before he could answer, Penny’s heart already knew the truth. The quiet surprise in his eyes and the way his indifferent expression slowly shifted were a giveaway.

All this time, Penny assumed the person who had taken Finn’s life was Hugo. After all, Hugo was the most capable of doing that among her brothers. Not that she was saying Hugo was a cruel man, but he had held a gun before any of them. So, if anyone was capable of taking a life, it would be Hugo.

But now Penny wasn’t so sure anymore.

"How..." Slater trailed off, wondering if he had slipped up. After a second, he realized that wasn’t the case. Slater had been careful not to mention any names except Mint, because it was necessary. Although he had told them he had to take down a few people along the way, he didn’t name any of them.

Finn had been in the way, so... someone had to get rid of him.

"He remembers?" Slater blurted out in disbelief. Otherwise, there was no reason Penny would know that Finn was dead. They didn’t know each other, after all. "The informant you were talking about... is him?"

"Third Brother—" Penny stopped when Slater walked toward her.

He stopped in front of her and clasped her shoulder. "Penny, if he remembers, he can’t marry Nina."

"..."

"What makes you think he’s marrying her because of love, and not because he has ulterior motives?" His grip on her shoulder tightened, his shoulder trembling as his eyes widened. Slater shook his head slightly, keeping his gaze on her. "If he remembers, then..."

Slater paused, his eyes unblinking as he gazed down. "Nina’s going to be in trouble... because of me?"
