Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 659

Chapter 659: I’ll become a good person
Penny’s guilt for Mark and everyone else was real, so to appease them, she ordered them some food and promised she would behave. But even with that, she knew it wasn’t enough. So, she promised herself that she would treat them well and behave… for now.

“Goodness… I thought that once I came home, I could relax. I didn’t know I would be stricken with guilt.” Penny idled on the couch in the master bedroom, hiding there for some relaxation. “Gosh. I didn’t know Renren would send them to a volcano to find a mine.”

Laying on her back and gazing at the ceiling, her face soured at the thought. No wonder Zoren told her the damage had been done because his men seemed to have just come back from hell. Fortunately, none of them were harmed — aside from some serious burns.

“I guess… this is how the Pierson mentality is,” she mumbled, thinking that these types of punishments seemed normal for them. Even Zoren wouldn’t bat an eye when he was handing out consequences to his people.

“I wonder what he’s actually like to other people?” she whispered, her eyes swirling with curiosity. “I mean, I already saw how filial he was to his grandmother, but what about the rest of the family?”

It wasn’t like Penny wasn’t aware of how the other Pierson family members treated Zoren, as they would even orchestrate an accident to kill him. So, Penny was now curious about what kind of man her husband was to those trashy relatives.

“Well…” Penny shook her head and sat up, smiling. “Doesn’t matter. I’m sure I would fall in love with him all over again if I witnessed that.”

With that thought in mind, Penny stood up and was about to do some work when she noticed something from the window. Deep lines appeared between her brows as she approached the window to check what was happening.

The moment Penny stood in front of the window and saw what was going on outside, her face contorted. There, still digging in some parts of the garden, was Nathaniel.

“What in the world…?” she blurted out in disbelief. “Don’t tell me he’s been digging all this time?!”

******

In the garden, Nathaniel was already distraught. Ever since Penny asked him to dig his own grave, Mark might have made him rest in the guest house. However, that wasn’t the end of it. The next day, one of the guards came to him and handed him a shovel, only telling him one sentence:

“Continue digging.”

Thus, Nathaniel had no choice but to continue digging. When the first pit was already too deep, he was asked to dig some more in a different area. However, at one point, Nathaniel found Zoren’s men also digging their own graves — Zoren’s order.

But now, all of those guys seemed to have been forgiven, but not Nathaniel.

“Huhuhu!” Nathaniel wept, but he continued as the black panther and the white cat were just around the area, watching him. Peeking at Renny and Chunchun, his face crumpled as another tear brimmed from the corner of his eyes.

‘Were they trained to mentally torture people when they couldn’t use their teeth and claws?!’ he hysterically wept in his mind, catching Renny casually clawing the ground as if to show Nathaniel he was helping. Chunchun was the same, stroking the lawn and barely leaving her scratch marks.

If this wasn’t mental torture, then he didn’t know what was.

“My goodness…” Nathaniel breathed out. “Just what did I do to Miss Penny for her to hate me like this? Or no, how could I appease her? It’s been a full week, and her anger still hasn’t quelled!”

Little did he know, it wasn’t that Penny’s anger hadn’t quelled. It had already subsided that same night she asked him to dig his grave. He was asked to keep digging because Penny decided he wasn’t healthy for her mental health and temporarily erased his existence.

In other words, she forgot about him.

“This is torture! Terrible!” he grumbled while digging. “Why is my life this miserable?”

But then again, a part of him knew why his life was this shitty. He was a shitty person.

As Nathaniel kept digging and digging, breaking more sweat and burning more fat, he didn’t notice the figure standing near Renny and Chunchun. Penny crossed her arms, her pets nudging at her leg, her eyes on the hardworking Nathaniel.

“Poor guy,” she murmured, shaking her head a little. “I should’ve known this was the type of order Renren wouldn’t interfere with.”

Just like how Zoren kept Benjamin in the dark because Penny hadn’t told him that he was free to do so, he was letting this guy uproot the entire garden.

“This garden is expensive,” she muttered, shaking her head in disbelief. “Though… it’s quite a fun show to watch.”

Even though she already found peace in the fact that Nathaniel had no recollection of the past — of his betrayal — it didn’t mean she wasn’t having fun watching him suffer. With that thought in mind, Penny snapped her fingers at the nearest guard on standby.

Watching the man look at her, the side of her mouth stretched from ear to ear until her eyes were squinting. “Some snacks here, please.”

And just like that, Penny used her day to relax while watching Nathaniel uproot the garden. Meanwhile, Nathaniel continued with the labor until he finally noticed the group camping near him. When he turned, all he saw was Penny, Renny, and even Chunchun seated on their own lounge chairs under their big umbrellas with some refreshments and snacks to fill their stomachs.

“You can do it!” one of the guards cheered — Penny’s order — which was then followed by another bodyguard. “Keep digging! More energy!”

“You might find a diamond if you do!”

“Show you’re a man!”

Penny smirked as the bodyguards did a good job hyping up Nathaniel. The latter, however, just looked away and wept to himself.

“Surely, my life is miserable!” he gasped, looking up at the sky dramatically. “Oh, heavens, if you give me another chance, I’ll definitely become a good person!”
