Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Little brother, you are knocking on death’s door and you didn’t hear it creak open?

In her first life, it was too late when the school and the Bennet couple found out their son was getting bullied. They found out about it when Hugo saw Slater’s bruises, but just like Slater asked Penny, he begged not to tell their parents.

Although Hugo didn’t tell his parents, he barged into Slater’s class and beat Slater’s bullies in the teacher’s presence. He beat the bullies so badly all of them ended up on the hospital bed. Things went so out of control that Hugo was expelled. Fortunately, Hugo still got into the military despite his bad record. However, after that incident where Penny was imprisoned, that story would be dug up again.

Slater also had to change schools while the bullies only got suspended. The Bennets chose to take their children out of the school because it was a traumatic place for Slater. However, the Bennet couple still sued the school. Even so, it was futile. The damages were already done.

Not in this lifetime, though.

"If I kill you today... I won’t get jail time too, right?"

Keith and the other boy furrowed their brows while their lookout looked back at her in terror.

"Who is this little thing here?" Keith asked.

"Keith!" the one on the floor grabbed Keith’s ankle. "Do — don’t pick a fight with her! It — it’ll be dangerous!"

"Dangerous?" Keith frowned and kicked his friend’s hand away. He shifted his eyes to the little girl and smirked. "I don’t fight with kids. Go away from here. Tss. This is a boy’s restroom, go."

"A fight?" Penny blinked adorably as she tilted her head to the side. "This is not a fight, little brother. This is going to be called discipline."

"Discipline?" Keith burst out in laughter. "You want to discipline us? You? You look like you just stopped drinking milk from the bottle!"

Penny nodded and Keith laughed even louder. The other boy also forced a laugh while the other one on the floor shook his head vigorously.

’Is there some big guy outside?’ the other boy wondered. ’There’s no way this little girl is the one who tossed him in, right?’

Meanwhile, Slater, who was still in the cubicle, froze as soon as he heard that familiar voice.

’Is that Penny?’ his entire body stiffened, unsure whether to feel shameful to be seen in this state or terrified that because of him, she would be in trouble!

Slater initially denied it was Penny, telling himself they only sounded the same. But when he took a peek, his eyes dilated.

"Penny?" he blurted out, earning everyone’s attention back to him.

"You know this little kid?" Keith hissed. "What? Did you ask for her help? Involving a little kid... Is that how pathetic you are?!"

Keith angrily kicked Slater back inside the cubicle, making their already-beaten lookout gasp in horror.

’Why did he... block the kick?’

"Keith..." James clasped his stomach, forcing himself to look up at Keith. "Don’t. Stop." — that little sister was downright diabolical!

’They...’ His heart shook in fear. ’They were friends. How can he beat his own friends...’
