Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 631

Chapter 631: Something felt strange last night.

[Dear Me,

This is PROBABLY the last time you will hear from me. Sucks. Well, I don’t have anything else to say. You and I... we will never be better. We’ll never get better. It’ll always be like this. I’ll always be here within you, lingering, waiting for the moment to come out.

But I don’t want to come out.

I’ve seen my life, and it’s better with just one of us in it. Now that I say this, it sounds a little strange, doesn’t it? Anyway, I did pat you on the back. Good job, me. Congratulations on being happy, on this second life, and on being you.

Promise me that in this life, you’ll live a long life filled with happy memories with all the people who mattered and those who cared about you. I’m writing this because... you know why. I don’t want to be sentimental anymore. I’ve had a good life, a life I would never complain about.

Cherish it.

This life is something you prayed for. Do not forget that. So, don’t mishandle it.

**P.S.** Take care of MY husband. I am someone you don’t want to become, someone you tried not to be. If that’s the case, then take care of him and protect him at all costs because... the moment something bad happens to him, you’ll become me again. That I am certain of.

Always here,

Your demon.]

Penny couldn’t help but chuckle as she read the email she sent herself last night. Although she had an idea of this email even before she checked it, a lot had happened last night, and she almost forgot what was said here.

"I guess... we’re both happy now," she whispered to herself, smiling. "I’m glad."

Penny heaved a sigh of relief as she leaned back. She was all alone in the room because her parents and Haines had to go home. Slater drove them, promising they would be back before she knew it. As for Hugo, he dropped by that morning but still had to visit the station for updates. He was very hands-on with the matter.

Atlas stayed for a while and then stepped out to make a phone call. The same was true for Zoren. Although she was certain her husband and first brother weren’t out just to make a phone call, Penny was left alone to rest.

"I’m not better," she whispered to herself, lifting her eyes to the ceiling. "I know that she’s always going to be there."

But she also knew that it wouldn’t be the same anymore. Now, Penny didn’t have to drink just to appease her other self.

"Though last night..." Penny touched her cheek, hissing. "I’m... surprisingly still used to it."

What she meant was that even with a rebirth, her body seemed to be used to being hit. Penny had never had a fight like last night in this lifetime. She had sparring matches with Angel and sometimes with Hugo, but all of those were conducted under certain rules and conditions.

Last night was just a brawl.

"Well." She smiled and shrugged. "I guess I can now go back to my normal life."

Penny nodded in satisfaction before her smile faded a little. Staring at the ceiling, she thought about the things she remembered during the hypnosis session she had yesterday.

"That guy..." she trailed off as the door suddenly slid open. Curious about who had come back, Penny slowly peeled her back from the headboard the moment she saw Grace walking in.

"It’s okay, Penny. Keep resting. I’m just checking on you and bringing in some updates," Grace casually remarked as she approached the bed, stopping at the side to study Penny’s face. After a few seconds, she heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Goodness. I was so scared last night, but it seems you’re okay," she mused, closing her eyes as she took another deep sigh of relief. "I was here last night, but your family was already here, so I didn’t want to interrupt."

"How’s Ginnie, Nina, and Lily?"

Grace arched a brow. "It’s Zoren Pierson’s doing."

Penny didn’t answer as she stared into Grace’s observant eyes. After a while, she smiled and nodded.

"I knew he’d do something like this. But I also know these aren’t just false allegations," she replied calmly. "Am I wrong?"

"No, you’re right." Grace scrunched up her nose but was pleased that Penny seemed to know the man she married. "Well, anyway, he deserves it too. From what I heard, the owner and Lily’s ex are friends. It’s why no one on the staff stepped in; they received a memo."

Grace folded her arms underneath her chest. "It’s why the staff will be held as witnesses to this."

"I see." Penny nodded in satisfaction. "I guess everything’s already settled, and I don’t have anything else to do."

"Well, yes. I’m simply updating you."

Penny furrowed her brows. "Then why do you look like that?"

"Huh?"

"What else are you thinking about?"

"Well..." Grace hummed as she tilted her head to the side. "Something felt strange last night."

"What was strange?"

Grace snapped her eyes to Penny as she said, "I thought I saw Finn Davis, Nina’s fiancé, last night. But upon checking the CCTV footage as part of the evidence gathering, I didn’t see him."
