Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415: Just what did this guy do?

"Why are you interested in him, by the way?"

"Just... because," Penny cleared her throat. "Uncle Wild, did you get anything else? Like information about his clients, where he works, and what scam he was running before he disappeared?"

"Yes, thankfully. I sent it to you," Wild replied. "Penny, how’s that brat Angel, by the way?"

"Your nephew is doing okay. I deployed him to the Piersons."

Wild’s face soured. "Tell me, seriously. Why did you deploy your best men to someone else? Do you have a death wish?"

"Uncle, I’m not in danger, so I don’t need my security at the moment," she smiled. "Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Anyway, I gotta go. I’ll check the files and—"

Penny ended the call before she could even finish her goodbye, sensing that Wild wouldn’t let her off so easily.

"He’s not always the easiest person to say goodbye to," she whispered, recalling how Wild had clung to her hand carry when she and Haines left for Anteca. Phone calls were no different.

Her phone rang again after a moment, but Penny simply put it on silent mode before hiding it in her drawer. She then faced her monitor, checking the files Wild had sent her. When she saw the picture of the smiley face on the wall, she paused.

"The specters," she whispered. "Why did they target Nathaniel in this lifetime?"

The Phantom Circle wasn’t a full-blown crime group, nor were they part of any government entity. They were more of a vigilante group — an elite vigilante group. What made them so frightening wasn’t their mysterious actions, but the fact that they weren’t afraid to take on anyone.

If Penny based everything on her previous life, Nathaniel should be approaching her anytime soon. Or rather, someone from the Bennet family. After all, this guy had no issues with the Phantom Circle in their previous life.

Nathaniel had lived a free life before the Bennet family’s downfall, and she assumed even after.

"What changed?" she whispered, backtracking everything she had done in the past twelve years. "I wasn’t associated with him, so he should’ve followed his usual way of life."

To be fair, Penny wasn’t even sure if the Phantom Circle existed in her previous life. She simply assumed it did.

"Just what did this guy do?" she muttered again, checking the rest of the files Wild had sent her.

She skimmed through Nathaniel’s bank details. A large sum of money had been deposited into his account around the same time Patricia had approached Zoren.

"That scam," she snickered. "She only paid him a small portion of what he was getting. I can’t believe Patricia didn’t ask for more."

But then again, Nathaniel had a knack for persuading people. Compared to the money Nathaniel and Patricia had received, it was nothing compared to what Patricia would get if she married Zoren.

"Now that I think about it..." she paused, her eyes narrowing. "Didn’t Benjamin tell me that Renren actually planned to marry Patricia just so he wouldn’t burden me anymore?"

Her lips curved downward. "What was going on in his mind back then?"

Penny shook her head, throwing that thought to the back of her mind to ask Zoren about later. For now, she focused on the files Wild had sent her, hoping something new would stand out. But alas, everything was clean.

"Nathaniel didn’t leave any traces behind with his client. His data protected the client from being tracked..." she murmured. "I kinda want to hire him."

Despite the anger she held for him, she couldn’t deny Nathaniel was a genius at his work. Even Prime Group would need time to crack down on Nathaniel’s client, who was also targeting Zoren.
