Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1666

Chapter 1666: The anxiety

Meanwhile, in a hotel right in the main city...

Hayley, Patricia, and Theo sat around the huge living area of the penthouse where Penny’s men had assisted them the night before. The three of them sat on the couch, staring into nothingness with blank eyes.

Did they sleep the whole night?

To be fair, they had no idea.

Maybe they did nap, but their mental exhaustion was still present.

They couldn’t even eat or drink coffee as they found themselves sitting on the couch. The memories of the night before filled their minds, as if everything was replaying in their heads on a loop.

"Never mind marriage," Hayley whispered, her complexion pale, but the bags under her eyes darker than they should be. It was the same for the Miller siblings. "Miss Penny is right. I need therapy or counseling. Maybe an electric shock to my brain to erase that memory from last night."

The Miller siblings rocked their heads, their dry lips like a desert.

"Do you... do you think... she died?" Patricia blurted out, her brows rising as she sensed two pairs of eyes on her.

When she looked up, she almost jolted at the blank look from Hayley and Theo. If she had more energy, she would’ve jumped from her seat. However, she didn’t have that much energy, despite the horrifying blank looks dominating both Hayley’s and Theo’s faces.

"I’m just wondering..." Patricia whispered, the corner of her eyes reddening. "I don’t want to be — huhu! Mommy, what do I do?!"

In the end, she buried her face in her palms and wept. Calling out her mother, Patricia could feel she was on the brink of snapping.

"I don’t want to become a murderer!" she whimpered. "I’m so scared!"

Theo’s eyes softened as he reached out to stroke her back. "Patricia, that’s not going to happen."

"How are you so sure?!" Patricia intoned, looking up at him, tears streaming down her face. "Penny said she’d be here first thing in the morning, but it’s almost lunch! Who knows?! Maybe she’s preparing the funeral or something!"

"No —" Hayley covered her ears and shook her head. "I don’t want to hear it — shut up, Patricia! Stop! Just stop talking!"

As Hayley started to freak out, screaming to muffle Patricia’s cries, the latter doubled down and freaked out even more.

Theo, who was seated between them, panicked.

"Patricia — Hay —" his voice stopped in his throat, leaving him opening and closing his mouth. However, he couldn’t think of how to calm both ladies when he was starting to panic himself.

What happened last night was traumatizing. However, the thought of the maid passing away because of what happened filled their hearts with nothing but dread.

"Patricia..." Theo called out, patting her back, then turned to Hayley. "Hayley, let’s not—"

Before he could finish his words, they heard the entrance fly open. Theo flinched as he instinctively looked at the door. Patricia and Hayley also stopped, twisting their necks with one swift motion as all the alarm bells in their heads rang.

It could be the police, after all.

However, the second they saw who was walking in, Patricia’s face sagged while Hayley’s tears flowed even more.

"Penny!" Patricia jumped up and, without thinking, rushed to where Penny stood.

Penny took a step back as she raised a hand. However, she was a second slower because Patricia had already jumped on her.

"Penny!!!" Patricia cried out loud, hugging her like a bear. "What do I do?! I don’t want to go to jail! I have so much potential — I’m still so young!"
