Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1297

Chapter 1297: Slap

SLAP!

The resounding slap echoed in everyone’s ears.

Nina gasped, covering her mouth in shock. Cassandra’s face was tossed to the side, her eyes dilating. For a moment, neither of them could process what had just happened. After all, Patricia had come in here, and without a word, assaulted Cassandra.

As for Patricia, her palm throbbed painfully, and she clasped it tightly.

Patricia had heard enough, and even if she was slow on most things, she was vile enough to recognize another evil force. This two-faced Cassandra... she was the cause of everything. After Nina betrayed Patricia, it wasn’t easy for her to trust anyone again. She had been bullied, though she had to admit she deserved some of it, having been a bully herself.

But when she opened her heart to these new people who had approached her, Patricia had believed things were starting to look up. Unfortunately, Theo suddenly begged their parents to let him transfer and study abroad instead. He threatened them, saying he would drop out of school rather than attend the Summit School of Excellence.

Theo got his way, and Patricia hated him for it. She believed he couldn’t handle the pressure of the Star Section anymore and would be humiliated if he was kicked out after just one semester. However, now she was going to learn that there was more into the story and that Cassandra had threatened her brother?

And those people she thought would be her friends, who had betrayed her even before her family’s crisis, were Cassandra’s minions all along? Though Patricia claimed those people weren’t her friends, it was really just her defense mechanism to shield herself from the pain of being hurt again and again by people she trusted.

"You—" Cassandra seethed, but the second she faced Patricia, the latter raised her hand again.

"Patricia!" At the same time, Nina jumped in between them, grabbing Patricia’s arm. "What are you doing?!"

Nina panted, her entire body shaking at the situation unfolding before her. In her mind, Patricia had just assaulted Cassandra by simply being with Nina. But alas, Patricia didn’t even glance at Nina, her eyes locked on Cassandra.

"You—what?" Patricia scoffed, her mouth twisting into a vile smirk. "My brother doesn’t hit women, no matter how terrible they are. However, he and I are different. I’ve been through enough scandals and ridicule that I don’t mind adding one more by dragging you out of here by your hair."

"Patricia!" Nina yelled, pulling Patricia’s hand down. "Aren’t you going too far?! No matter how you feel about me, you don’t have the right to hurt the people around me!"

Patricia hissed at Nina, then cast Cassandra a look. "You’re lucky I only slapped you once. But pull whatever trick you pulled again... and you’ll see that there’s someone crazier than you."

With that, Patricia snapped her eyes at Nina, then back at Cassandra.

"That slap was for my brother, and this one?" Patricia suddenly grabbed Nina’s arm and raised it slightly. "This one is for me."

The moment those words rolled off Patricia’s tongue, she forcibly dragged Nina with her.

"Pat—Patricia!" Nina pulled her arm free from Patricia, exerting more force before they could leave the private dining area. She rubbed her arm and gazed at Patricia. "This is going too far, Patricia."
