Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 46

This psycho’s gonna kill me!
“Little brother, you are knocking on death’s door and you didn’t hear it creak open?”

Keith scoffed as he removed his foot from her. He faced her squarely, now annoyed at this kid’s interference.

“Kid, I warned you!” he hissed. “Don’t blame me if you get hurt — ack!”

Before Keith could even bark at her, he accidentally bit his tongue as her nunchaku landed on the back of his thigh. The rest of the boys flinched when they heard this painful sound echo in their ears.

“Ah!!” Keith stumbled back as he felt his entire leg went numb. But before he could recover, he saw a large figure leap to him viciously.

As a black belter, Keith intuitively fought back. But alas, Penny was agile, despite her size. Her nunchaku hit his torso and legs precisely, hitting him in places that others wouldn’t easily see. And also places that would hurt but wouldn’t kill him.

“Keith…” the other boy took a step back, watching this one-sided fight unfold with wide eyes.

Slater remained frozen in the cubicle, watching the little figure force Keith to his knees. He didn’t know if he was amused or scared of Penny. It was like watching a preview of his own fate if he pushed Penny to her limits.

Slater’s train of thoughts halted when James crawled his way to the cubicle, finding shelter in there. He glanced at James, and with just one glance, he knew this guy was dead traumatized!

“Ahh!!!” Keith slid on the floor as her nunchaku wrapped around his ankle, pulling him down. He didn’t even know which part of his body hurt, as he was now overwhelmed with fear.

Watching the large yet small figure approaching him, Keith crawled back.

“Help…!” he panicked, looking up at his friend, who was squeezing himself into the corner of the restroom. “What are you doing? This psycho’s gonna kill me!”

The friend snapped back to his senses and was about to step in to help, but froze when Penny’s eyes landed on him. He ended up shrinking back in the corner, his body almost fusing with the tiled wall.

‘I’m not here…’

Seeing his friend’s cowardly reaction, Keith turned to the cubicle where Slater and James were hiding. Just as he opened his mouth, James instinctively shut the cubicle.

James wanted nothing to do with this! He tried to stop him but he didn’t listen! Keith put this upon himself!

Even so, James and Slater instinctively looked down the gap under the cubicle to check.

Having no backup anymore, Keith felt his body freeze when a hand grabbed his shoulder. Penny turned him around so he was facing her. She then grabbed his collar.

“You — you!” Keith stuttered. “Do — do you know who — who I am?!”

Penny blinked ever so slowly, making Keith even more terrified.

“Let — let me go now or you’ll be in real tro — trouble —”

SLAP!

Keith’s aghast face was tossed to the side as his entire face numbed in an instant. The people present even winced just by hearing the sound.

“Real trouble?” Penny mumbled emotionlessly. “You said it yourself, little brother. The worst that can happen to us is expulsion, and it’s not like this is the only school in the country.”

The corner of her lips curled up while her eyes lit up. “Meaning, I can kill you and I won’t get jail time, right?”

Keith’s breath hitched as he looked at her in horror. “Our family —”

But before he could even say anything to save himself, another slap landed on his cheek. Another slap quickly followed on the other side of his face.

“Kid —”

SLAP!

“Stop!”

SLAP!

After countless slaps that landed on his cheek to the point that they looked swollen, Keith’s spirit was already broken. His expression was aghast and dead as he looked back at her.

“I was wrong,” he blurted out under his breath, this time relieved that Penny’s hand stopped midair. Thinking he finally found the right method to make her stop, Keith continued. “I was wrong and I’m sorry!”

“You now learned how to talk?”

He quickly crawled back and kowtowed, accidentally hitting his forehead. “I was wrong, and I overestimated myself! I’m stupid! Knocking on death’s door and I’m also deaf for not hearing the door creak open! Please forgive me!”

Keith just rattled on and on, saying anything she might want to hear to appease her. Now that the beating stopped, he could feel his entire body being sore and in pain. Just a thought of another pian from her nunchaku or those gigantic fat hands on him scared him out of his wits.

“Don’t apologize to me.” Penny’s voice was cold and unmoved. “I’m not the one you hurt.”

Hearing this, Keith quickly turned to the cubicle and bowed on the floor. “Slater, I apologize for everything I did! I’m stupid and terrible for doing all those things to you! Please forgive me!”

The cubicle slowly opened as Slater and James looked at Keith with mixed feelings. Slater didn’t answer, though. He was too speechless at this situation because never in his wild imagination had he ever imagined Keith apologizing, let alone kowtowing!

“Atlas Bennet never aspired to be in the special top section. He buries himself in his studies just so he can tell himself he did his best. Hugo is a school star player because of his skills and talents, yet he worked hard ten times more than anybody else to win every game,” Penny remarked quietly. “Haines Bennet… is the most patient and considerate man who returns grievances with virtue.”

Her face turned sour as she added, “And Slater Bennet might’ve been a coward for not speaking up, but he’s also brave enough to come to this place every single day, despite knowing the horrors you guys will put him through because he’s stupid and think he can resolve this on his own.”

“The Bennets aren’t perfect and they might be often wrong in some ways, but they were also honest people who did everything with a clear conscience. If there’s anyone who has any right to criticize them, that is me, not you or anyone else, but me!” Penny huffed, barely containing her anger at these bullies.

“Get out before I bury you in this very place.”

As soon as Keith heard those words, he didn’t waste a breath and scrambled his way out of the restroom. His other friend flinched when Penny looked at him.

“What are you waiting for?”

The other boy briskly fled for his life.

Once the door closed, Penny shifted her eyes to the two boys in the cubicle. She let out a shallow breath, guessing that James also wanted to flee but was too scared to do so.

“Just stay if you can’t come out, but don’t make me remember your existence,” she told James before shifting her eyes to Slater. “What are you still doing there? Get out and change. You look like a mess.”
