Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 1215

Chapter 1215: That’s Hugo for you!
Zoren and Hugo might have proven they could fend for themselves, but that wasn’t enough to lessen Penny’s and Atlas’s worry. For a moment, these people were definitely a step ahead of them. If not for Penny going crazy and hijacking the plane, they wouldn’t know that they were headed in a different direction.

But their worries, however, didn’t last long.

Rushing back to the section where Hugo and Zoren were asleep, Penny and Atlas walked into a cabin with a few bodies lying unconscious in the aisle.

“Oh.” Penny blinked, snapping her eyes to Hugo, who was seated, massaging his nape, and Zoren standing at the other end. Seeing that the two of them were fine, she grinned and turned to Atlas. “See? I told you we didn’t need to hurry! They’re fine!”

“When did you say that?” Atlas returned flatly, thinking about how she almost left him because she had grown impatient earlier. However, he didn’t dwell on it and set his eyes on the two. His gaze lingered on the unconscious cabin crew, then back at Hugo and Zoren. “What happened here?”

Before they could answer, Atlas pointed a finger at Penny. “No time for your vicious comments today.”

Penny zipped her mouth. Atlas was truly amazing at times, she thought. How did he know she was about to comment on that?

“I don’t know,” Hugo shook his head, still massaging his nape before straightening his back. “To be honest.”

“You just started throwing fists without knowing?” Atlas returned, only to hear the cheerful Penny at his side.

“That’s Hugo for you! He starts throwing fists even if he doesn’t know the reason! They wouldn’t call him crazy for nothing!”

“You were drunk,” Zoren muttered as he walked over some people to approach them. “I don’t know what happened here either. All I know is that they woke me up, and… pissed me off.”

“Of course! Anyone would be pissed if they disturbed their nap!” Penny jumped ahead and stopped in front of Zoren. Her eyes quickly scanned him, bobbing her head up and down as she examined him. When she was certain that he was fine, her lips stretched from ear to ear.

“Good job, husband.” She tapped his shoulder as if to emphasize a job well done. “Anyway, who here pissed you off? I’ll kick him to wake him up and another one to knock him unconscious.”

“Tempting, but are you okay?” Zoren narrowed his eyes, touching her cheek with the back of his hand. When he saw that the mark on her cheek was just dirt, he held her gaze again. “Your injury, how was it?”

“It’s fine.” Penny nodded at him reassuringly. “Just don’t press it, but it’s fine. Told you it’s not that deep.”

“Anyway, what the hell is going on here?” Hugo rose to his feet, shaking his head as if that would keep him awake. “Damn. I knew something was wrong with my beer.”

“If you noticed, why didn’t you say anything? And why did you keep drinking it?”

“Because it was cold,” Hugo shrugged indifferently. “There’s just something about cold beer. I didn’t say it tasted bad, but rather, weird.”

“I agree.” Penny nodded, making Atlas sigh at their responses.

“At least no one’s hurt… I think,” Atlas sighed in relief, darting his eyes on them with a sharp look. “Anyway, from what Penny got from her interrogation in the cockpit, it seems this plane has been hijacked.”

“Hijacked?” Hugo arched a brow while Zoren frowned.

“This is a private plane, and the crew has been flying with the Piersons for years,” Zoren said. “They wouldn’t hijack this plane.”

“The thing is, these guys aren’t the real crew that flies the Piersons.” Penny smacked her lips, fluttering her eyes unseriously at her husband. “The guys you just beat up are people who took the original crew hostage somewhere on this craft, and the people who were abducting us, basically.”

“Uh, god…” Hugo pinched the bridge of his nose in distress. “Two nights ago, we were in this syndicate hive. And now, we’re here. What a trip!”

At this point, Hugo couldn’t help but wonder if trips were supposed to be so tiring.

“So?” Hugo snapped his eyes up at them. “There’s no pilot here now? You said we were doing a detour earlier.”

“Yep.” Penny nodded. “Don’t worry. You don’t have to pilot this. The original captain’s got it under control.”

“Are you sure he’s the captain?”

“His ID says so.” She nodded again. “Anyway, I think we need to find the cabin crew, strip these guys, tie them outside, and bring them along that way.”

“We’re not tying them outside this craft,” Atlas shot her a look. “But we need to find the crew first, after tying these guys.”

“Why are you in the cockpit?” Since the next plan was obvious, Zoren couldn’t help but ask. When he did, Hugo raised his brows and darted his eyes between Penny and Atlas.

“…” For a moment, Atlas and Penny didn’t answer. She just smiled at Zoren and lied, “I’m teaching Atlas how to fly a craft.”

But knowing she was drunk and the drunk Penny had no qualms about resorting to deception, Zoren arched a brow.

“Fine, fine! I’m not teaching Atlas how to fly a plane, but I’m teaching him a lesson, okay? I’m not lying.” She threw her hands up. “By the way, I also didn’t try to crash this plane with you in it. I mean, how could I do that when my baby boo-boo is here?”

Penny fluttered her eyelashes coquettishly, making sure not to make Zoren sad. It wasn’t like she was lying. She hadn’t planned to crash the plane. She was simply messing with Atlas because she couldn’t kill him either.

“I’m staying out of prison, darling,” she whispered when all she got from Zoren was a quiet stare, leaning toward him with her hand placed on the corner of her mouth. “I’m staying out of prison and staying out of becoming a divorcee. You’ve got to believe me, husband. Your legal wife cannot live without you.”

Atlas and Hugo shook their heads, reading her like an open book.

“I’ll check Slater and Benjamin first,” said Hugo.

Atlas nodded. “I’ll find the cabin crew.”

“What about us?” Penny hummed.

Hugo and Atlas looked at each other before their eyes fell on their sister again. “You tie these guys up,” said Hugo with a smile. “That might tire you out a bit, so you can sleep for a bit.”
