Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1786

Chapter 1786: Penny’s plan

Shawn had expected Hugo to reach them first. After all, among the Bennet brothers, Hugo was more experienced in combat and more familiar with the battlefield. That’s why the plan to escape had included Hugo Bennet intervening in the chase.

And, as expected, Hugo came after them and almost foiled their plan. "Fortunately," Jonathan had foreseen this and prepared a plan to throw off Hugo. They succeeded in stopping Hugo, but not in ending him.

In other words, Hugo was truly someone everyone was prepared to stop at all costs.

Who would have thought there was another Bennet just as capable as Hugo when it came to these things?

Once Penny calmed Slater down, she yelled at Shawn to drag their hostage out. So, Shawn carried Brad and the two pilots to the shore. After that, the three of them just idled by the shore.

The island they landed on was small, quite a bit away from their original destination. Well, Penny and Shawn had already seen the hill they were planning to land on, but they turned back since they had arrived earlier than everyone else. Besides, it was also safer to stay around the island they planned to go to, but far enough to avoid attention.

"So, that’s what happened, huh?" Slater rocked his head. "You should warn Mint, if that’s what you think."

"Already did!" Penny raised her brows. "The phone’s dead, though. But I told her to inform the others about it, so they don’t get too worried."

Slater deadpanned as he lifted his eyes to think about it. "Penny, your faith in Mint is surprising. Do you really think she’d let everyone else know that you’ve contacted her?"

"Well, I hope she would. Otherwise, First Brother will get angry."

"You..." Slater shook his head. "Never mind."

He paused and shot Penny a look. "So, what’s the plan?"

"I’m still thinking about that," she hummed, looking back at him. "By the way, how did you get to us before everyone else?"

"Maybe because I went after you before anyone else?" Slater shrugged, arching a brow at her. When he glanced at Shawn and then back at Penny, he clicked his tongue. "I took a shortcut."

"Oh..." Penny’s mouth formed an "o" shape, nodding in understanding. "So, that’s why."

She grinned. "Well, isn’t that nice?"

"Focus, Penny." He peeled his eyes away from her. "It’s still a few minutes before we reach the meeting place. You told Mint to land on the other island and even wanted her to leak the information. What’s next?"

"Also, what if they get ambushed?" he added. "Everyone’s just going to be in trouble."

"True, but Shawn said it’s better that way."

"And you believe him?"

"Of course!" Penny smirked. "If not for him, this would’ve been a different situation. Besides, even if he is Jonathan’s soldier, his change of heart saved all of us from more trouble."

Slater frowned and shifted his eyes to Shawn. The latter lowered his head and didn’t meet his gaze.

"What are you going to do if he has another change of heart then?" Slater finally asked, locking eyes with Penny again. "He betrayed the guy he’d been following his entire life. What makes you think he won’t betray someone he’s barely known?"
