章 40: Tomorrow’s gonna be their doomsday!

"Apologize to Second Brother. You owe him that and he deserves it."

Slater furrowed his brows. For a moment, he thought she would ask him to be a slave or take his chocolates. This was not something he expected.

He pressed his lips and nodded. "Fine. I'll do it."

"Good." Penny waved dismissively and signaled him to step aside. 

Slater quickly got her message and jumped away. He watched Penny stride off without looking back. 

"I think I'm safe… for now," he whispered, heaving a sigh of relief at convincing Penny to not tell their parents. "Wait… I only told her not to tell Mom and Dad, but I didn't tell her she can't tell others!"

Slater panicked and was about to run after her to clarify it. However, with the dirty laundry in his hand, he hesitated. 

"She's not that slow not to understand that I didn't want her to tell anyone, right?"
