Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Priorities~

SLAP!

Just as Nina’s hand touched Penny’s leg, a hand aggressively slapped her hand away. Nina froze in surprise and everyone in the room.

Slowly, everyone lifted their eyes to the person who slapped Nina’s hand away. Much to everyone’s surprise, the person who swatted Nina’s hand wasn’t the person everyone expected. Even Penny was stupefied.

"Third Brother... why did you... did Penny tell you something?" Nina’s meek voice echoed.

Most of the time, Slater would carry an incredulous and clueless look. Now, he was glaring at her as if he were looking at his most hated nemesis.

"Penny didn’t need to tell me anything because I just know what you did." Slater balled his hands into a tight fist, his heart thudded against his chest. "Nina, do you think begging will help? Dad already decided and begging only looks like you’re challenging him. Weren’t we taught about begging?"

It was why, even when Slater was being bullied, he never begged his bullies. At least, he would still try to talk back, even if he knew he would just get beaten up. But from what he heard from Hugo, Slater couldn’t see Nina the same way.

"Dad, I want to visit Grandma and Grandpa next week." Slater faced his father innocently. "I’m taking Penny with me. Can Nina stay in the Cortez Household next week?"

"Third brother!"

"Nina, just accept what everyone already accepted," this time, Atlas spoke up coldly. "If what you said earlier is true, then you should do it now. After all, before, you didn’t know that you and Penny were swapped. So, you lived your life as a Bennet lavishly. But now that you know the truth, you should do what you said previously to make amends."

Penny’s eyes widened even more. Without thinking, she quickly extended her short limbs to cover Atlas and Slater’s mouths. Good thing they were sandwiching her.

Didn’t they say they’d bury Ray alive?! Why were they burying Nina too!? They should do it not in front of her!

"Ha ha!" she laughed nervously. "I’m... sorry. Just checking their temperatures, but I have short arms. Can’t reach their foreheads. Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Hugo pressed his lips to hold back his laughter. ’My sister is silly sometimes.’

Slater and Atlas frowned, but they didn’t bother taking her little hands from their mouths.

"Boys, that is not nice." Despite her confusion about her sons’ remarks, Allison shook her head. "Nina was in the wrong this time, but please, do understand her."

"We’re trying, that’s why we’re only saying this," Hugo, whose mouth was free, spoke calmly and politely. "We’re just reminding Nina that we learned that begging and throwing tantrums won’t gonna change the situation. If anything, it’ll only make things worse. Isn’t that right, Mom?"

Allison was rendered speechless because that was true. They never let their children get whatever they want, even if they throw a tantrum. Although that was mostly applied to Slater when they were young.

Charles glanced at his son and understood they were all united. Although he was curious about what made Slater get this angry at Nina.

"Nina, your brothers are right." Charles nodded. "Moreover, we’re not abandoning you. Mom and I will still see you and we’ll still support you with the best we can."

It was best if Charles was prepared for it. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
