Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 130

130 Ray’s numbered hours 

In the library, Penny glanced at Hugo and then at Atlas. What her brothers spewed toward their grandparents was rude, and they knew it. It was something they would never do in their first 

life

Seriously. Was I reborn? Or was I transported to a parallel world?Penny didn’t know the answer to this anymore

Her brothers were acting strangely

Though, I understand Second Brother for how he reacted,she thought, moving her observant eyes to Hugo. He is the type that when he doesn’t like something or someone, he stays away from it. So, everything that involves Nina, he’s prejudiced.” 

It was how he stayed away from Penny in their first life. Although he was more passive before

But First BrotherPenny slowly moved her eyes to Atlas, flinching a bit when she caught him staring

Penny, that’s a lie, isn’t it?he asked without beating around the bush

Huh?Deep lines appeared between her brows. Is he asking about what I said to Nina just now?” 

She didn’t have a problem telling him the truth, but before she could speak, Atlas continued

The notes. You didn’t lend her any notes yesterday, did you?” 

Ah?Penny blinked, taken aback

I saw her sneak into your room yesterday and when I asked what she was doing, she said you lend her your notes,” he explained. I find it suspicious since I don’t think you’re doing your 

notes.” 

First brother! I am a very diligent student!Penny gasped defensively

Atlas arched a brow. Do you do your notes?” 

” 

Penny’s silence was enough for an answer

See?Atlas shrugged. And even if you write notes, I don’t think Nina would understand.” 

How did you know that?” 

Atlas once again raised an eyebrow. We study together. Do you think I don’t notice things?” 

Oh.” Her lips formed an oshape, rendered speechless. I didn’t think you’d notice.” 

Not because I don’t say it, doesn’t mean I don’t see or notice things. Moreover, Hugo was angry with her for a reason. I’m trying to understand where his displeasure is coming from,” he expressed. Penny, tell me the truth. What is she looking for in your room?” 

This time, Penny kept a tight lip

You can’t tell me?he asked, and she simply slid her eyes to the corner

How could she tell him? Penny already decided on what to do about the broken keychain. It was best that the news wouldn’t come from her

Even if you give me that patient look, I’m not going to say anything!she told herself, seeing that her first and second brothers were patiently waiting for her answer

Do youreally not trust us?After the prolonged silence, Atlas spoke once more: This time, his voice was laced with bitterness

He knew Penny hadn’t fully opened her heart to them, and Atlas couldn’t fault her. They were the first who couldn’t accept the existence of another sister. Hence, they treated her indifferently when she arrived at the mansion

If only he could turn back time… 

It’s okay, Penny Hugo offered her a smile while nodding. Trust is earned, and we haven’t done. anything to earn that trust. So, it’s okay. We understand.” 

He paused and smacked his lips. Though I want to know one thing, Penny. Is she giving you a hard time in school?” 

That depends

Nina once made Penny’s school life a living hell. Even with their real status revealed, it only Ignited more comparisons between the realdaughter and the supposeddaughter

Penny observed her brothers, who had been, somehow, redeeming themselves. They might not know this, but because she knew their personality very well, she was aware they weretrying

Trying… 

Can Lreally trust you?she asked quietly, watching them raise their brows as if they finally had seen a faint sliver of hope peeking through the gray clouds

A part of her screamed not to trust them; that she shouldn’t soften up just because she could. see them trying. She wanted to listen to this side of her. After all, she lived an entire lifetime and a half and throughout that life, they never took her side

At least, they never showed it, or perhaps she hadn’t seen it

The other part of her urged her to take a leap of faith to see where this would take her. She wouldn’t know if this life would be the same if she held on to the past. Jessa changed, and the twins changed. Perhaps, in a way, she unknowingly did something to change how they see her. as well

Her lips pressed into a thin line before they parted. She’ll be expelledfor trying to kill

someone.” 

The brothers furrowed their brows. They were expecting the worst, but their imagination didn’t reach this far

And by someoneyou mean?Hugo trailed off as he slowly balled his hands into a tight fist

You?”
