Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 733

Chapter 733: He’s not the one I need.

Meanwhile...

"Sven Bennet was caught, and as expected, he didn’t say anything other than admitting to the crime." A man whispered into another man’s ear before straightening up politely.

The man he reported to nodded thoughtfully. "Is that so?"

"Will it be alright, Master?" the first man asked, a bit worried. "Or should I send someone to silence him behind bars?"

"There’s no need for that," replied the boss, smirking. "I’ve always known Sven Bennet wouldn’t last. He’s not the one I need."

The first man gazed at his boss, then lowered his head respectfully. "Is that so?"

The boss smirked again, swirling the glass of rum in his hand. "Poor little Sven. Send him my regards. I’d like to thank him for his... services."

"Yes, sir." _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"And that man... reward him for his help. If it weren’t for his dashcam footage, none of this would have happened. Tell him I appreciate his cooperation — and that I don’t want to see him again."

"Yes, sir."

With that, the first man lowered his head and walked away quietly to carry out the orders. Left alone in the room, the boss’s lips curled into a sinister smirk.

"Atlas Bennet... and surprisingly, Slater Bennet is up to something strange," he murmured, bringing his glass of rum to his mouth. He savored a mouthful, swishing it before swallowing.

Knock knock.

A knock on the door was followed by a slight creak as it opened.

"Darling?" Peeking her head in, Cassandra scanned the room. When her gaze fell upon the man seated in the wingback chair, her lips stretched into a wide smile. She stepped inside, practically skipping, and settled herself on his lap.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she fluttered her eyelashes playfully. "Jo, wouldn’t you come to see me if I didn’t visit you? I’m a little disappointed."

Jonathan squinted slightly, smiling as he looked at her. "I’m sorry. Things have been... a bit much for me lately."

"Aww," Cassandra pouted with a smile. "It’s okay; I understand. Do you need any help? You know I can always help you if you need it, right?"

"Hmm... I know, but not at the moment." Jonathan smiled. "Cassy, I heard about your ex..."

He trailed off when she suddenly poked his chest. "What?" he asked, seeing the playful look on her face.

"Are you jealous?" she teased. "Is that why you haven’t texted me since I mentioned I was worried about Finn?"

"Haha..." He let out a weak laugh, tilting his head slightly. "Was there no reason for me to be jealous?"

"Babe, I already told you, didn’t I?" Cassandra sighed softly, looking him in the eyes. "My engagement with Finn was arranged by our elders, but we’re just good friends now. There’s nothing you should worry about."

"Finn is a good friend of mine," she repeated reassuringly. "Besides, he was in an accident. Anyone who knew him would be worried. I heard it was bad enough that he was in a coma. I want to visit him, but my schedule’s been packed. However, if you’re reluctant and not comfortable with it, then I won’t visit him."
