Chapter 1190: I remember, Penny.
[FLASHBACK]
The sound of glass shattering echoed in Penny’s ears like a clap of thunder. However, that wasn’t what terrified her. It wasn’t the sound itself, but rather what would come after it.
"What do you think you’re doing?!" Slater’s voice erupted in the room, filled with rage. His burning gaze flickered between his sister across the room and the shattered figurine on the floor. Clenching his teeth, he marched toward her.
"I—I’m sorry, Third—"
"Shut up!" Slater yelled, making her flinch. "I’ve told you so many times not to come into my room! And now, you’re apologizing for breaking my stuff? Why don’t you ever listen?!"
In a state of panic, Penny stuttered, "But—but—I didn’t mean—Nina said—"
"I said shut up! I don’t care what Nina said!" he hissed, his fists balling tightly. "All I care about is what I said, and you clearly don’t listen!"
"Third Brother, I’ll fix it!" Penny didn’t hesitate and bent down to pick up the broken pieces. But in her rush, she cut her finger. "Ouch."
Instead of worrying about her injury, it only made him angrier.
"I said get out!" Slater’s voice boomed, making her flinch again. She looked up at him with shaky eyes. "Look what you’ve done! Not only is it broken, but now it’s dirty too!"
Penny froze, her heart sinking at the growing rage in his eyes. "Third Brother..."
Slater pointed at the door, his chest heaving. "Out. And don’t ever show your face to me again."
