Chapter 1640: What’s wrong now?
"Don’t worry. I’m not talking to my sister, but my contact. What I’m saying is the CEO of Prime Group—the only place that can protect you two at this point."
Cassandra and Kiara furrowed their brows as they exchanged a brief look before setting their eyes back on the siblings.
"And if there’s one thing I know about her, it’s that... she rarely says no to money." Hugo flashed Penny a bright smile. "Right?"
Penny deadpanned. "What makes you think this isn’t one of those rare times?"
"Because I’m giving a third of my salary until I make sure they’re not in danger anymore?"
"..." Penny was unhappy, and it showed on her face.
’I don’t like Cassandra, but not to the point I want her to get locked up for a crime I’m sure she didn’t commit,’ she thought, massaging her temple. ’And I’m not even tempted by Second Brother’s offer.’
Another huff escaped her, and she snapped her eyes up at Hugo. "Second Brother, come with me."
"I’m not getting beaten up privately," Hugo remarked but still pushed himself up.
Before they left, Penny looked back at Kiara and Cassandra.
"There are rooms at the end of that wing," Penny pointed in the opposite direction from the ladies. "Stay there tonight. I’ll have to think about Second Brother’s offer, and I don’t think you two will ever get sleep if I don’t stop you here. He will drag you to every house he knows."
Hugo grinned and nodded, as if what his sister said was a compliment.
