PAMPERED

94 Straight from the pits of hell

Thursday rolled in once more without a hitch. Penny started her day normally, but for some reason, she couldn’t help but notice everyone in the Bennet Mansion was strange.

Everyone felt like they were being overly nice to her. It wasn’t like they weren’t nice to Penny, but their niceness had this distinct feeling that Penny couldn’t ignore.

She asked Butler Jen, but Butler Jen just said, “It was a good day”

And so Penny didn’t dwell on it and went into their school van.

On their way to their school, Penny sat frozen in her seat.

‘Why do I feel like I’m in danger? she wondered as she discreetly looked at her brothers. When she did, Slater was looking away while Atlas was reading a book. Hugo, on the other hand, was just staring at the window.

‘Did I imagine it?‘ she asked herself. I thought they were looking at me.”

Penny shrugged and set her eyes on the window again. She was thinking about James‘ report this morning. James had become an early bird in school and was one of the very first students who arrived an hour before class.

‘He said there didn’t seem any plans for today, or at least, nothing is happening in my classroom,” she thought, a little doubtful that James was messing with her. It’s only a day since this prank started. They couldn’t just give up after a day…”

Penny’s thoughts trailed off as she felt this intense gaze from her back and side. She quickly. turned her head, but her brothers were minding their own business.

‘Oh, my god.’Penny felt horrified as she looked away. Am I being haunted? I feel like evil spirits are targeting me!‘ a

While Penny was jumping to the conclusion she was being a little paranoid, her brothers slowly shifted their intense gaze back to her. In their minds, they were giving her attention and time.

Was this enough?

Penny shrunk in her seat as she tried to ignore the intense gaze on her. She would glance at her brother from time to time, but she would catch them either doing something else or smiling at

her.

“Penny, are you okay?” Lily couldn’t help but ask, seeing that Penny’s expression had been complicated since arriving early this morning.

Ginnie also couldn’t hide her worry as they looked at Penny, who was walking in the middle of them.

Currently, it was lunchtime and the three girls decided to go to the garden. But since they were trying to avoid any more pranks, they took another route, which was to the side of the school.

“Hmm. Something wrong,” Penny mumbled, still deep in thought. “Everything’s weird.”

“Are you saying it’s weird that Ray’s fans stopped harassing you?” Ginnie blurted out meekly. “How is it weird? They probably gave up.”

Lilly nodded. “That’s right. Even I felt very exhausted for them yesterday. It’ll take another day for them to recharge.”

“No, aside from that, everyone this morning is weird. Penny shook her head as she snapped her eyes up at the girls. “I feel like everyone is being extra nice to me today. I don’t know why.”

“I think I know” Lily perked up. “It’s because the sign–up for Penny’s fan club is longer than expected, so that’s probably explained it.

“Fans club?” Penny scrunched up her nose. “Stop joking, Lily. Also, I’m not talking about the school, but the people in our house –”

Pe abruptly stopped when all her senses rang. Without thinking, Penny pushed Lily away,

subsequently making Lily fall to the ground.

“Ah!” Lily winced as she fell back on her bottom. “Ouch, ouch… Penny, why would you…

Lily trailed off when she noticed a broken flower pot where she had originally stood. Ginnie also trembled when her eyes fell on the flowerpot.

“What…” Ginnie started to stutter again, wide–eyed. ‘How…”

If Penny didn’t push Lily on time, they could already imagine what would’ve happened to Lily. The three girls intuitively gazed up at where the flower pot fell, only to see a person’s shadow leaving the rooftop.

“This is too much…” Ginnie muttered as she rushed to help Lily. “Lily, are you okay?”

Lily’s entire body was shaking and when she looked up at Ginnie, her complexion was pale. She couldn’t even feel the pain on her bottom anymore because her knees felt as soft as tofu. If that flower pot fell directly on her, she could’ve died!

This was an attempted murder!

“They… that’s cruel,” Lily forced out a breath. “Or is this an accident?”

They slowly moved their gaze to Penny, watching her walk over to another direction and pick up something. For the first time, they saw the usually bright face of Penny darken. It scared Lily even more than the attempted murder just now.

“Pe Penny?” Ginnie called, sensing this dark, diabolical aura seeping out of Penny’s back.

Lily even forced a smile just to calm down Penny. “Penny, I- I’m okay! It’s okay! I’m not hurt.”

Penny didn’t answer and simply gazed at the small badge that had Ray’s face on it. This design was something Ray’s fans wore. After all, his fans were so die–hard they had keychains, stickers, and other stuff that had his face on it. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Now, they crossed the line,” Penny hissed as she clasped the badge tightly. She took a deep breath and faced her friends. “Ginnie, take Lily to the infirmary first. You two drink some water to calm down.”

After saying her piece, Penny took a step away to settle some matters. But before she could leave, Ginnie exclaimed.

“Penny, how about you?” Ginni blurted out in worry. “Where are you going?”

Penny glanced over her shoulder and coldly said, “Settle this once and for all,” and then marched away. 1

Confused, Ginnie and Lily looked at each other before they set their eyes back on Penny’s back. They couldn’t help but gulp while staring at Penny’s figure. The sight of her unlocked another thing they knew about Penny; this girl was bigger than anyone when angry!

For some reason, they felt like even though Lily escaped this omen, another dangerous one rose straight from the pits of hell.

thanks for the 14k unlocks
