Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Shhh!

"Hello, Second Brother. Is he... is he alive?" _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

Just as that question left her mouth, the man beneath Hugo reached up and grabbed Hugo’s collar, launching a powerful headbutt. Penny winced at the sound of their skulls crashing together. The man pushed Hugo off and then crawled away.

"Well..." Penny let out an awkward chuckle. "I guess he’s alive."

"Ugh..." Hugo touched his forehead in pain, but the pain wasn’t enough to stop him. He quickly leaped to grab the man again, determined to finish the job.

Meanwhile, Zoren kept his eyes on the two men wrestling and fighting. "Penny, what am I looking at?" he asked, turning his gaze back to Penny.

"Nothing," she smiled at him. "It’s nothing. We are seeing nothing."

"Oh." He nodded. "I’m blind. How can I see anything?"

"Hehe." Penny chuckled and peeked at her brother. She flinched a little as Hugo’s fist kept hitting the man’s face to the point she started feeling sorry for the other guy. "Second Brother, I think... I think that’s enough."

But her voice was simply carried away by the wind.

"We should go," she whispered, looking down at Zoren again. "Once my Second Brother is finished with him, you’re next."

"Oh." Zoren nodded. "Let’s go."

Just as they agreed and were about to get up, the sound of a speeding car reached her sharp ears. Penny quickly grabbed Zoren’s shoulders and pinned him down, taking him by surprise. She lowered his head to his chest before yelling.

"Second Brother!"

When Hugo turned his head and saw his sister almost on top of a man, his eyes blazed. "You’re next."

’Shit!’ she cursed in her heart, but this wasn’t the time. "Hide!"

"Huh?"

"Hide!"

Hugo tilted his head to the side. "Why?"

"A car is coming!"

Hugo blinked indifferently. "So?"

Even if there was an oncoming car, it wasn’t likely to stop if they saw two men fighting. Who would want to get between two men fighting at this time of night?

"It’s First Brother!" she yelled, and just like that, Hugo landed another punch on the man and ducked.

VROOOM!

They all held their breath for reasons unknown, listening to the car drive past the street where they were hiding. Just from the sound alone, Penny, Zoren, and Hugo knew that the car was driving so fast it was impossible for the driver to see them.

Atlas seemed like he was in a race, after all.

However...

Screech!

Their breaths hitched upon hearing the tires screech and the pungent smell of burnt rubber filling their nostrils.

"Why did he stop?" Hugo looked at Penny, wide-eyed. "Did he see you?"

SCREEECH!

’His heart is beating so fast,’ she thought, her attention completely diverted to counting his heartbeats per second. Deep lines appeared between her brows as she realized his heart was beating abnormally. Gazing up at him, a look of worry brimmed in her eyes.
