Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Betrayal

"Call her sister now, but have other plans later? Oh, Hugo Bennet. I see I got a rival in a few years."

The veins in Hugo’s forehead protruded at the malicious remarks this guy had uttered. "You do have a death wish —"

"What’s going on in here?"

Suddenly, Hugo and Ray froze at the elderly voice that reached their ears. When they turned, they saw one of the senior teachers standing several feet away.

"Ahh." Ray smiled happily and said, "Nothing, teacher. Hugo is just helping me fix my collar."

The teacher frowned. "Ray, do you think I don’t see what’s happening here?"

"I’m warning you." Hugo peeled his eyes from the teacher to Ray. "Stir more trouble, and you’d regret it."

After saying his piece, he released him and walked away.

"Hugo Bennet!" the teacher called, but Hugo didn’t stop. "Tsk. Hugo."

"Teacher, it’s alright. It was my fault anyway, so Hugo is a little pissed," Ray appeared in front of the teacher amicably. "Don’t worry. Everything’s settled now."

The teacher’s frown remained despite Ray’s explanation. "Ray, I heard what happened. Stop causing trouble to other students."

"Yes, yes~"

The teacher scolded Ray for a good two minutes, lecturing him about the importance of being a part of the star student section. He eventually forgot about Hugo because Hugo was a good kid, and for him to react like that, he knew Ray poked the bear.

After the scolding, Ray felt exhausted and simply wanted to take a nap. But still, he went to the headmaster’s office.

Knock Knock

After a knock, he carefully peeked through the gap in case a book would come flying to him. But much to his surprise, the headmaster was seated behind the desk with a grim expression. Opening the door wider, there were more people inside than expected.

One of the people he knew inside was the fans Ray got kicked out.

"Uh... I’m late, huh?" he frowned deeply, knowing stepping in would put him in a tricky situation.

Despite his reluctance, he still knocked louder once and stepped in.

When Penny returned to the classroom, the class hadn’t started yet. Or rather, the teacher only gave them something to work on. Hence, Penny snuck into the classroom before it was too late.

"Penny!" Lily called quietly, making Penny turn to her. She looked around first and rose from her seat, hurrying to Penny’s desk. "Did you hear?"

Penny tilted her head. "Hear, what?"

"Who the culprit is."

’That was quick,’ she thought.
