The rules were simple. Even if the most dazzling treasures in the world were placed before Penny... even if they were worth enough to buy a kingdom... even if they were one of a kind...

If Osvaldo’s little penguin didn’t like them, the search for "the perfect gift" would start again from the beginning and the families’ children would bear the brunt of that failure.

Osvaldo would torture them harder than before.

They couldn’t afford that risk. That’s why each family had gone to absurd lengths, scouring the world for what they believed to be the most luxurious and precious gifts to place at Penny’s feet.

None of them knew that the young woman standing there in her plain white dress, looking like an angel, her hair soft as the clouds above, wasn’t at all dazzled by gold or pearls.

In truth, Penny would have treasured a tiny bunny in her arms far more than any diamond necklace. She would have lit up for a jar of rare flower honey, a delicate glass bottle for her lab, or a clean, sharp syringe for her experiments. ššš—æš—²šžšš š•–š›š—»š—¼šÆš•–šš•.ššŒš—¼š—ŗ

Pearls? Jewels? Those could stay locked in someone else’s vault.

If they wanted to make her truly happy, they could take the money and feed the hungry children on the streets. They could help the sick, shelter the homeless. Drugs are really expensive these days especially for those helpless children. That would be a gift worth smiling for.

"The rules are the rules," Timothy’s voice cut through the air, polite but unyielding. He could see the nervous looks on their faces.

"As my master instructed, the gifts will only be accepted if our mistress accepts them." he gestured his hands towards Penny.

All eyes shifted to the tall, shadowed figure, the master of the Adkins mansion. And the heir to the entire Adkins wealth.

He had barely spoken since they had arrived, yet the weight of his presence filled the yard like an unseen crown. He didn’t need to speak for his presence to be felt.

Osvaldo’s golden eyes followed the gifts before him. Though they couldn’t see his face, but his eyes could see the gifts they had brought and they looked worthy for his penguin.

All he wants is for her to be respected and treated like a queen. Like his queen.

His wife, the new madam of the Adkins empire cannot be messed with.

While the others feared Osvaldo and didn’t dare speak, Abby and Maybelline stared at the man like a sacrificial lamb. Even if they both were terrified after their experiences with him, they still wanted him gone.

To Abby, it was either him or her son. And she cannot let her Chris die. All she needs is a maid or servant to pass the drugs to.

"If she doesn’t accept them, then I’m afraid you all will have to start your search again." Timothy announced.

Osvaldo was playing a game with kings and mighty men like they are puppets.

Maybelline stared at the man they claim had given instructions. A man that can barely form a straight sentence. How can he give all of those commands?

"How can..." Maybelline began, her voice rising, but Abby’s discreet pinch silenced her. Speaking out of turn against Osvaldo would be like setting fire to her own roof.

"Mrs Willard, do you have any questions?" Willy asked to see her shake her head. Abby was right, she couldn’t cause more trouble for Ariana. Not when she’s not out yet.

"Mrs. Adkins, do you like any of the gifts?" Timothy turned to Penny who bit on her lower lips.

Immediately, silks shimmered, gold gleamed, gemstones caught the light as the families angled their offerings toward her. Everyone wanted their gifts to be accepted.

David Willard stared at his once step daughter and shook his head. He never knew one day, he would kneel before like this, presenting gifts of offerings because of the kind of power she now holds.

They all thought her marriage to Osvaldo would be punishment, but it had backfired now.

Maybelline eyed her daughter stylishly, even the devil himself, she thought, could refuse such beauty.

Her lips curled in triumph. This was exactly what Penny wanted, her greedy little moment in the spotlight, surrounded by glitter and envy.

This attention-seeker!
