Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 845

Chapter 845: If I don’t, I’ll make sure he knows I can.

Who are you?

What do you want?

Why... me?

These were the few questions Penny had for Jonathan when she confirmed his existence. The moment she realized Jonathan Pierson wasn’t just an alias, more questions began popping into her head every time she thought of him.

Why was he there on her execution day? Why did he want to see her end?

At first, Penny thought the attack on their family was all there was. But as things slowly unraveled, piece by piece, more questions filled her mind. Unfortunately, only a few were answered, leaving her with lingering doubts.

"Jonathan Pierson," she whispered, seated on the couch, surrounded by gifts from the Pierson family. In her hand was an open box with a small belt inside.

Just gazing at it made her remember the last day of her previous life. Back then, Penny had already given up, simply going with the flow. She felt as if all the vigor and determination she’d had during her incarceration vanished into thin air.

But she could still remember how her body fell into that chair. The grip of the officer as they pinned her arms to the armrests, strapping them with those little belts. The deep breaths against her sides, her heart pounding, and how her spirit slowly died before her body.

"Did he... succeed?" Another whisper slipped from her lips, unsure of what happened after her death. "What happened after that?"

Finn had told her that he was able to live even after Penny’s death. Until that point, Penny had believed the world stopped when she died. But since learning that people still lived afterward, she found herself wondering about so many things. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

One of those things was whether Jonathan had succeeded... or not.

"If I’m going to trust my gut, I’d say..." She trailed off, her eyes fixed on the little gift that filled her with so much... hatred. "... he failed, didn’t he?"

Because if Jonathan had succeeded in their previous life, he wouldn’t be changing his life the way everyone who remembered their past lives did. Just like Penny and Finn, who were simply trying to survive and save those they felt they needed to — themselves, included — Jonathan didn’t live as William’s son, nor did he live as a Pierson. If anything, he had lived all this time as someone else’s son, only to return now, claiming to be Zoren’s half-brother.

He was changing his life, just like Penny and Finn.

Zoren had told her about this the same night of the family gathering. It wasn’t as if this matter had ever slipped Penny’s mind. It always lingered at the back of her head, even if there was so much happening in her life at the moment.

And moments like this, when she had to sit by herself and reflect on the past and present, still gave her a headache.

"Finn should wake up," she whispered to herself. "He’s the only one involved with the Piersons who remembers his past life."

After all, Penny knew the Pierson family, but her knowledge of them was minimal.

All she knew was that Nina’s husband in the past had been Jonathan Pierson.

"I wonder if the attacks on Finn have something to do with his relationship with Nina?" she murmured. "The odds are low, but it could be an additional reason — jealousy?"

Knock Knock.
