Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1149

Chapter 1149: Dove and Doreen

At the same time, on the boat heading to Pierson Island, Finn rose from his spot to approach the captain.

"Can we get there a little faster?" Finn asked the person in charge. "We really need to get there quickly."

The captain sighed. "But, sir, we’re already at the fastest speed we can go."

"Then how long will it take to get there?"

"About ten to fifteen minutes."

"Fifteen minutes..." Finn shook his head, forcing a smile. "Alright, but if we can get there faster, I’d really appreciate it."

"I’ll do my best, sir."

With that, the captain refocused on his duties as Finn walked back a little. Finn’s eyes remained on the man, sighing heavily.

Fifteen minutes wasn’t that long, but considering the situation, he was growing increasingly worried.

’Of all the times for them to get in trouble...’ He clenched his teeth, bitterly swallowing a reality that only a few knew about. While the group tried to enjoy the boat ride, Finn’s anxiety continued to grow.

Penny hadn’t given him all the details. All he knew were a few keywords: abduction, syndicate, and rescue. Even so, those were enough to raise an alarm. Finn was still grateful that, even though he had briefly given Nina some details, she hadn’t panicked. Instead, she was helping him distract everyone.

Finn massaged his forehead as he stayed on the deck. He gripped the railing, glancing at the waters around them. Although he couldn’t see anything in the darkness, looking at something else might distract him, even if just for a moment.

’They better stay safe,’ he thought to himself, gripping the railing tightly. ’Otherwise, everything in Anteca will fall apart. We have other problems to resolve, and this shouldn’t be one of them.’

"Hello there!" The man in charge of the facility greeted Zoren and Penny as they entered his office. His mouth stretched wide into a smile, matching the openness of his arms. "Welcome, welcome! Please, come into my humble office."

Penny studied the man in the red polo shirt and long trousers. She glanced over her shoulder before feeling a tug on her hand, allowing Zoren to lead her into the office.

"Take a seat," the man offered as they settled down. He sat on the only new furniture in the office, a wing chair, still wearing a wide smile. "Get the owner of the castle and his beautiful companion some drinks. I don’t have tea or anything fancy. Would a soda suffice?"

Zoren nodded. "Anything is fine. Thank you."

"Alright then." The man snapped his attention to the soldiers by the door, nodding at them. When they left and closed the door, he focused back on the couple. However, instead of eyeing Zoren, his gaze lingered more on Penny.

’What a stunning lady.’

"Your eyes..." Zoren remarked quietly, observing the man as he shifted his attention to him. "She’s my wife and the real owner of that island."

’So dreamy...’ was what crossed her mind as she smiled. "It’s not every day my husband is harsh with his words. As you can see, he’s a little overprotective of me. So, I hope you understand that we came here with a clear conscience and purpose. As long as you don’t cross his bottom line, things won’t be a problem."

"..." Zoren slid his eyes to his wife. ’Didn’t we agree that I’d introduce myself as William? So, if this man wants revenge, he’d go after William Pierson?’
