The Adkins main mansion was alive again as maids moved around as always, keeping things back in order, especially after the huge celebration last night.
The celebration had been about Chris and Ariana, hosting more than 100 elite guests at their mansion. It’s unfortunate that Ariana couldn’t be at the party. She was busy serving her punishment in the dungeon.
Over in the dining room, the rectangular table was filled with different dishes to its brim. Abby and May still had their grim expression.
It seems they have both woken up by the wrong side of the bed today. Even if both women had spent hours bathing through the night, they still felt dirty.
The stench of Osvaldo’s urine and the salty taste of it was still imprinted in their heads. He had spilled everything on them, smiling as he did it as if he enjoyed it.
Of course, he enjoyed it.
He did it before the maids in the mansion, everyone laughed at them. Abby clenched her hands into a fist. She’d never let this slide, Penelope must pay for this.
"Good morning Mother, Aunt May. How was your night?" Chris pegged his mother’s cheek and walked over to his seat.
"Good morning Father, Uncle David." He greeted both his father and father-in-law. Both men looked normal, compared to the women.
"Good morning Chris," David responded.
"What’s so good about this morning David?" Maybelline cried out like a wronged child. She’s the same as her daughter. Sweet and innocent facade, behind a demon.
"Nothing about this morning or today would be fine if Penny doesn’t leave the Adkins family for good," May added. She still stands by her words and she would make sure the Adkins kick Penny out.
"It’s not as easy as it seems Aunt May," Chris said.
"Osvaldo is already fond of Penelope. You know how hard it was Mother to find him a wife." Chris said calmly, adding butter to his bread as he took a bite.
"We hired her to tame your brother Chris. But it’s clear she cannot do her job. What’s the point of keeping her?"Abby said this time. Rather than helping them in that situation, Penny had just watched the madman mess with them.
"May is right Chris. The earlier we get Penny out the better for us all." Abby said. She had seen it herself last night. The only reason the madman attacked them was because of Penny. She used him to attack them last night.
Abby was scared she might get more powerful and use Osvaldo as a weapon to chase them all out if they let her stay longer.
Ariana was right, Penny never should have been trusted.
"You promised me she would be easy to tame Chris. Now she seems so impossible." Abby added.
"Why don’t we invite her over and set things straight to her? We’ll put her in her place and make her understand how things are." Chris suggested.
Penny isn’t one to refuse anything they say. She’s easy to manipulate and control. Though recently, she has changed a lot, and Chris knew why.
"We’re not doing that Chris. That girl needs to be taught more lessons than just being talked to. Not after what she did." Abby said.
