SLAP!

Just as Nina's hand touched Penny's leg, a hand aggressively slapped her hand away. Nina froze in surprise and everyone in the room.

Slowly, everyone lifted their eyes to the person who slapped Nina's hand away. Much to everyone's surprise, the person who swatted Nina's hand wasn't the person everyone expected. Even Penny was stupefied. 

"Third Brother… why did you… did Penny tell you something?" Nina's meek voice echoed.

Most of the time, Slater would carry an incredulous and clueless look. Now, he was glaring at her as if he were looking at his most hated nemesis. 

"Penny didn't need to tell me anything because I just know what you did." Slater balled his hands into a tight fist, his heart thudded against his chest. "Nina, do you think begging will help? Dad already decided and begging only looks like you're challenging him. Weren't we taught about begging?"
