Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533: The truth will set you free

When Nina came home, she tried not to dwell on what had been bothering her all day. But just when she thought she had successfully pushed it aside, she paused while applying her moisturizer.

Seated in front of her small vanity, Nina bit her lip.

"Ugh!" she groaned, finally reaching for her phone. She quickly called someone who could help her.

The call rang a few times before being answered.

"Hey, Nina!" came Yuri’s soft voice on the other end. "How are you?"

"Hi, Yuri. I’m doing great, thanks! How about you?"

"I’m fine," Yuri hummed. "Just a lot of work with exam week coming up, but everything’s alright."

"Oh..." Nina nodded, pursing her lips.

Yuri, sensing something, raised her brows. "Is everything okay, Nina? Why did you call?"

"Well... is this a good time? If you’re busy, you can just get back to it."

"Nina, even if I’m busy, I always make time for you," Yuri said warmly, her words comforting Nina. "What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you broke up with Finn?"

"What? No! Finn and I are fine."

"Did you two have a fight?"

"No," Nina let out a small, defeated laugh, still hesitant to bring up what was troubling her. "We didn’t fight. Since when did we fight? Finn isn’t like that to argue and I don’t like arguing as well."

"Then why do you sound so reluctant to talk?"

"Well..." Nina massaged the back of her neck, trying to find the right words to say. "I think... my friend... is being cheated on."

"Huh?" Yuri furrowed her brows. "Wait, you have a friend?"

Nina frowned. "Yuri, why are you being mean? Of course, I have friends!"

"Haha, just kidding." _{freēwēbnovel.com}

"Anyway, here’s the thing," Nina said, clearing her throat. "This friend of mine is married to this guy..."

"Okay?"

"And I know someone else who keeps talking about being in a relationship with my friend’s husband," Nina explained, keeping the identities vague.

Yuri tilted her head. "What do you mean?"

Nina sighed. ’No, I called because I know you’d feel the same way if I told you this friend is Penny,’ she thought, but kept the information to herself. She didn’t want to burden Yuri, who already had a lot on her plate.

Nina chuckled, her expression softening. "You say that, but you miss him."

"I don’t miss him," Yuri pouted. "That brat."

"Yes, you do. Anyway, thanks for listening to me."

"You’re welcome," Yuri replied gently. "Nina, if this friend of yours is that important to you, make sure you plan carefully. Remember, if she’s your friend, even though the truth might hurt her, it’s better than watching her get deceived."

"Mhm." Nina nodded, understanding. "The truth will set you free, right?"

That phrase was Nina’s motto in life. After all, the truth had set Nina free when she was caged in her own delusions. Letting things go, accepting the truth, and embracing it made her the person she was.

The truth saved Nina. Although it was a painful journey, looking back, she was thankful for the pain. If this saved her, she was hopeful it would also save Penny.

"Exactly."

They lingered on the line a little longer, smiling. After another moment, they said their goodbyes and wished each other goodnight. As soon as Nina put down her phone, she let out another deep breath.

"Yuri’s right. I need receipts — proof of his infidelity," Nina said to herself, her resolve strengthening. "If it comes to that, I’ll just be there for Penny. I won’t let anyone hurt her — especially not Patricia Miller."

Nina had her reasons for tolerating Patricia and Mrs. Miller, even though the past was already behind her. However, she wouldn’t let them bring their wickedness into her family’s life.

With that thought, Nina embraced this mission fully, determined to protect her sister.
