"Are you truly Miss Penny’s mother?" Willy asked staring at the woman. With the way she was confidently badmouthing their new mistress, they doubted she was her mother afterall.
Maybe she’s only aquainted to Penny, but no one dared speak bad of their new mistress, not even the devil would dare. It’s time they put this woman in her place.
The thought of their master finds out his new wife is being insulted made them shiver. They had no told Osvaldo about his marriage and when he found the girl he had threatened to cut off their tongue, but they had no idea why he didn’t do it.
Maybe he forgot. Or maybe, he likes the girl after all. This was truly a miracle.
Penny is like an experiment they didn’t think would work and she did.
"Who are you to question me?" Maybelline scoffed, folding her arms like a rich lady with too much time and too little class. "Telling a mother who she is. What nonsense!"
She looked like one of those spoiled women who thought the world revolved around them, especially now that she believed she had ties to the Adkins family.
"It seems you don’t know the rules of this mansion, Mrs. Maybelline. Let us educate you," Treadwell said calmly.
"We don’t care if Mrs. Adkins is a product of rape," Timothy added, voice steady.
"Or the devil," Treadwell echoed.
"Or Lucifer, a cockroach, a ghost—call her what you want," Willy said. "But in this house, you will give her the respect she deserves."
"Respect?" May spat the word like it was poison.
"And who are you to tell me what to do?" she snapped, her voice rising. "Don’t forget, you’re all hired help. You work for us. You don’t get to tell me how to treat my child!" She shouted, ignoring the quiet tug at her sleeve from Abby beside her.
But these weren’t ordinary staff. These men were the Adkins’ personal lawyers, the richest and most feared in the world. They were Osvaldo’s voice. And now, Penny was Osvaldo’s wife. Their power extended to her.
"Daughter?" Penny’s voice sounded from behind and everyone turned to look at her, as well as Hughes and the two maids who escorted her.
Her steps were slow and precise, the front of her dress swaying with each movement. Her blonde hair was tied to a ponytail, in her hands was the worn out purse she always carry around.
Both Abby and Maybelline frowned at the sight of her.
They still felt resentment after everything that happened the night before. Penny stood there and watched her husband humiliate them before her maids and the guest still lurking around.
Gossip had already began spreading around and Abby have received a few calls asking what was happening. The news about her smelling like urine was already on everyone lips.
After hosting such an event, she had embarrassed herself before people.
Penny stared at both women, but didn’t bother greeting them. Who would believe one day, the same mouth that once called her useless and unwanted would turn to say proudly that she was her mother.
She smiled.
She would have been in the lab figuring out how to heal Osvaldo’s madness, but Hughes had told her about them not knowing how to shop.
The world had changed alot from 15years ago and she doubts she’d be able to know where the market or mall is located anymore. So, she decided to ask Penny for help.
