Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577: Nonsense death

"That’s enough digging. Time to bury the hatchet. Go, lie down."

For some reason, Zoren, Angel, and Mark weren’t surprised to hear that. However, the diligent Nathaniel seemed to still be shocked, even when he already knew this pit was for him.

Nathaniel gasped, hugging the shovel and then going down on his knees. He kept his head up to look at the emotionless expression in her eyes.

"Madam—young madam! Miss Penelope! Please don’t do this to me!" he begged. "I haven’t done anything to you! Even if I did, I didn’t mean it! I’m sorry, okay?! Please! Can we talk about this?"

"You... haven’t done anything to me?" she repeated under her breath, almost laughing at his pleas. "You didn’t... mean it?"

Sorry? Was it that simple for him to say that after everything she had gone through?

Penny let out another wave of chuckles, staring at the man begging for his life.

"What a ridiculous sight," she murmured. "What a ridiculous and confusing night."

The only thing that wasn’t confusing at all was the anger swelling in her heart as she looked at this man. Penny kicked some of the dirt near her into the pit.

"Miss—urgh!" Nathaniel stuck his tongue out as some dirt went into his mouth. He wiped it with his dirty shirt, but the ground kept falling on him.

"Ugh! Wait—wait!" He irritably yapped, flinging his arms around. "Wait—argh! Are you out of your mind?!"

Penny stopped kicking the mountain of earth on her side, only to resume again without a word.

"Argh! Wait!" Nathaniel kept flinging his arms, yelling as more dirt got into them. "Stop—please! I was wrong—whatever I did! Please! Wait!"

As Penny kept kicking the ground and Nathaniel continued screaming, Zoren kept his eyes on his wife. Mark and Angel, on the other hand, looked at each other before simultaneously setting their eyes on her figure.

"Is she really... going to bury him?" Mark inquired quietly, while Angel shrugged. The latter studied the mood Penny was giving off, but because of the lack of light, all he could see was the shadow cast upon her face.

"I’m not sure," Angel whispered back, his eyes swirling with worry. "But what I’m sure of is that... I’ve never seen her so... hurt."

Mark slowly peeled his eyes from Penny to Angel, only to see the worry creeping onto Angel’s face. Mark didn’t understand it because, in his eyes, Penny just appeared crazy. But then again, Mark never served Penny and barely spent time with her.

He didn’t know her, unlike how Angel knew her.

"Boss—" Angel took a step after a while to stop her, but halted when Zoren approached her. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Stopping her was the right thing to do. However, a part of him felt like it wasn’t fair. Hence, he wondered to himself: what exactly wasn’t fair?
