Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Keep playing the game

Zoren stood outside the residence, watching the rear lights of her car fade into the distance. He raised a hand to wave but only held it up slightly. Another deep exhale escaped him as he watched her car move further away.

"I should’ve asked her to stay over," he whispered. "I had no qualms having a housemate."

With how big the house was, another person wouldn’t make it feel cramped. However, despite his selfish thoughts and desires, he knew Penny had a close relationship with her family.

"I guess... she managed to mend things with her family," he muttered, remembering that Penny had always had reservations about them. But now, it seemed her family was taking good care of her, and she was taking care of them.

"I’m happy for her," he whispered, watching as the car disappeared from his blurry line of sight.

Minutes had passed since she left, but Zoren stayed in the same spot. When he finally decided to rest, Angel, the bodyguard, approached him.

"Sir," Angel called, watching Zoren turn toward him. "About that woman in the guest house?"

Zoren cocked his head back. "Take her to the garden. I’d like to have a word with her."

"Yes, sir." Angel lowered his head. "I’ll take her right away."

Casually seated on the garden’s outdoor patio with Renny at his side and Chunchun on his lap, Zoren noticed a few figures approaching. It was the bodyguard and Patricia, who looked like a hostage.

Zoren waved a hand dismissively, prompting Angel and the other two bodyguards to step aside. Patricia glanced at them with shaky eyes, but when she felt Zoren’s sharp gaze on her, her breath hitched.

Slowly, she faced him, her stomach twisting. Before she knew it, Patricia collapsed to her knees, her body hitting the grass.

"Mr. Pierson," she said, her lips pale and quivering as she rubbed her palms together. His black panther lay beside him, which he casually petted. She feared he might order the animal to attack. "Please, don’t hurt me. I didn’t mean to deceive you! I was just tricked!"

"You were tricked?" Zoren tilted his head. "Tricked into tricking me?"

"Mr. Pierson, I swear to God, I didn’t want to do it!" She shook her head frantically. "I was blinded! Please, please, please. I won’t say a word about this. I promise! No one will know. Please, let me off this time."

"Miss Miller, what do you think I’m going to do to you?" he asked with plain curiosity, and shock spread across Patricia’s face.

She pressed her quivering lips together, her heart sinking. "You’re going to kill me."

Zoren gazed down at her, his eyes devoid of sympathy. ’She’s lucky I saw through her,’ he thought.
