Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 170

170 It’s a family matter

Please. Don’t hurt him.”“ 

Grace yelled once more, trying to stop her mother from begging for that goodfornothing father. Penny, on the other hand, could only watch this unfold in disbelief.

Anyone could tell that woman was beaten every second of her life by that man. Her bruises were enough to tell that the man never held back. If anything, it seemed he was slowly killing her. No one would be surprised if she ended up dead in his hands

And yet, now that someone was standing up for her, she was begging him not to hurt her abuser

What an irony

Penny slowly shifted her eyes to Grace, understanding why Grace told her in the past her mother left her. What Grace’s mother was doing wasn’t protecting Grace, but protecting that 

right now was already 

monster. The woman could’ve died or left, but what she was doin #ace, but protecting that 

abandoning her daughter

Ma’am, Hugo called sternly, but the woman clasped his leg even tighter

Please.the woman begged and shook her head. No more. Please, just go away. This is a family matter. Just leave us alone.” 

Hah!her husband snorted and looked at Hugo mockingly. See?! You brat! Acting like a hero – 

ou think you’re some sort of hero rescuing the day?!” 

He slowly got up once again, sneering. You brat. Since you liked butting into other people’s business, fine! I’ll show you what you get for that!” 

As soon as those words rolled out of his tongue, he lunged at Hugo once more

Second Brother!Penny instinctively got up to help her brother. Grace’s mother was holding Hugo’s leg and that coward of a man was trying to attack Hugo while he was trapped

But just as Penny got up, a figure suddenly flashed from the corner of her eyes. She stopped and turned her head, but the figure was not there anymore. After a second, she heard Grace’s father squeal

Ahh!the man found himself back on the ground, this time, with someone standing over him with his feet on his chest

hat do you think you’re going to do with my son? Charles’s face darkened, e como te fres 

the man’s hairy chest. His face twitched as he ground his teeth. From his expression, one 

might think he was ready to kill this man right then and there

Dad?Penny blurted out, her eyes dilating at the sight of her father. That figure was him? I didn’t know my father was so agile!” 

Hugo also glanced at his father, surprised. Dadhe called, a bit confused because this was the first time he had seen his father make such a terrifying face

170 It’s a family matter

Just then, everyone heard a short siren from the end of the alleylike route. Following that sound was Haines’s voice.. 

Penny! Hugo!Haines quickly squatted beside Penny, holding her shoulders and his eyes. scanning her from head to foot

Uncle Haines. Penny blinked, studying Haines’s pale complexion. Is everything alright?” 

Haines snapped his eyes at her and huffed. Goodness,” was all he could say as if a pipe was plucked out of his throat. Are you hurt?” 

No.She shook her head. Brother Hugo is with me to protect me,” 

Haines turned to Hugo. Hugo, are you okay?” 

Yes, Uncle Haines. Hugo glanced at his uncle before his eyes fell on the woman. Ma’am, are you okay?” 

Hugo quickly bent down when the woman loosened her grip and almost fainted. Thankfully, he was fast enough to catch her

I’mI’m okay.the woman forced a smile as she peeked at Hugo and repeated. I’m alright.” 

Mom!Grace jumped away to her mother’s side, holding the latter’s shoulders. A thin layer of tears coated her eyes, biting her bottom lips as she watched her mother fight to stay conscious

Seeing this, Charles and Haines got a grasp of the situation. Charles then glared daggers at the man underneath his foot. Around this time, the police officers already arrived and reached the situation

[District 10 Police Station

Like I said, it’s a family matter! These kids are just overreacting!the man explained in frustration. There’s no such thing as me hurting anyone! Was it already a crime to discipline my 

kid?!” 

Hugo’s jaw clenched as he listened to this nonsense. But when he opened his mouth, Charles clasped his shoulders. Looking at his father on his side, Charles shook his head mildly

ButHugo ground his teeth and looked down. His fist trembled in anger, knowing everything this man was saying was twisting the truth. It was shameless and cruel, and the police were still listening to him

Penny, on the other hand, watched this unfold right before her eyes from the sidelines. She shared Hugo’s sentiments, thinking this was nothing but crap. But then again, this was not the first time she was involved with the law

Penny!Just then, Allison’s voice was heard. When Penny looked at the entrance of the station, all she saw was Allison running toward her
