"Can’t you just stop Penny? Ariana has already apologized, can’t you let it go?" Chris said in defense of his fiance and Penny couldn’t help but chuckle. She hadn’t even said a thing yet he was getting so defensive.
"That’s enough," Abby said cutting them off. Then she turned to Penny.
"We’ll be hosting a dinner party tonight just for you Penny," Abby said sweetly and a certain girl at the table frowned.
Even if her grand wedding preparations were commencing, she was still so jealous the Adkins family was hosting a dinner on Penny’s behalf.
So what if she had survived a night at the madman’s house, it’s not like it was any huge achievement.
Who the hell does Penny think she is?
Ariana," Abby called lightly. "You’ll be escorting Penny for shopping later. Since you have such good taste, I want Penny to look as fashionable as you."
Ariana blinked, stunned at Abby’s words. Can things get any worse than this?
She hated Penny. But now she was supposed to play dress-up with her?
Ariana wanted to oppose it so badly, but she couldn’t. She had already done one bad thing right now, adding another would destroy her image before Abby and the entire Adkin’s, so she pinched Chris’s arm.
Chris cleared his throat immediately and then said. "Hosting a dinner. Isn’t that too much mother?" Chris asked but Abby waved it off.
"Nonsense. A dinner party is the best idea. Since we’re not hosting a wedding celebration for Penny." Abby said.
"Mother is right Chris." Ariana turned to her husband to put her delicate fingers on his hands. "Your brother has been locked in there since his birth. Since Penny can tame him, I think we should let the world see him now." Ariana said sweetly and then turned to Penny.
"Right big sis? You’re the only one that can tame him. You’ll make sure he doesn’t hurt anyone tonight right?" She asked.
She would never let Penny have any dinner party. Not while she’s around. Penny can never outshine her again.
"Ariana is right. If we want to host a dinner and finally show that madman, then we need to be sure she can tame him. Just because she survived through the night doesn’t mean she can tame him." Greg cut in.
He has been quiet until now. He didn’t like the fat girl, she was just too unattractive. When they asked for Osvaldo’s wife he had thought she would be manageable so that he too could have his way with her. It’s been so long since he’s been with any woman, especially since Abby’s illness.
Ariana was his daughter-in-law. Plus she’s his only son’s wife, he couldn’t imagine doing anything to her. But Osvaldo’s wife...
"Father is right Mother. There will be important guests in attendance at the party, we can’t let anyone get hurt because of that curse." Christian said.
"How can we be so sure the madman even likes her?" Ari asked glaring stylishly at her sister.
