Osvaldo groaned turning his head slightly to the door. He tried to remain calm even if the only thing on his mind right now was to kill whoever had disturbed his time.
"Miss Penny," Hughes yelled from outside the door. She had searched Penny’s room earlier to not see her only for the maids to say Penny had come this way. So Hughes had come to the lab to fetch her.
Barnaby had told her about the plan he overheard while reporting the news of the day to Abby and Greg. Though he had no idea which maid had sold their mistress out since they had sent a lot of maids to watch her that day.
"I... I have to get this."
Penny rose immediately, hurrying to the door. This was her cue to leave, at least God had saved her from the hands of the man now staring at her like a meal.
Penny opened the door gently, "Hughes." She called.
"Miss Penny you have to come with me now. Master Chris is here to see you. It’s urgent." Penny frowned. Why was that man back again?
What did he want from her this time?
Penny wrapped her jacket around her body, before stepping out with Hughes. She would see what Chris wanted and then send him away.
"I don’t know how accurate the table is, but Barnaby had told me Master Chris and his family are planning something against you tonight." Penny turned to look at Hughes.
"Something?" She asked.
"Yes, Miss Penny," Hughes said.
"They want to switch your positions tonight. If Miss Ariana gets to survive in here tonight, then she’d master Osvaldo a new wife." Penny chuckled.
"And how would she do that?"
"Then you should have told me," Penny said calmly as she followed her maid out of the halls. When they reached the lounge, she was greeted by Chris.
"What are you..."
"Come with me, Penny. Mother wants to speak to you." Chris said calmly. Since Penny was aware of the situation, she could reject his words, but she agreed. She wanted to see what they would do.
"Okay," Penny said and started walking with him. Hughes shook her head but her mistress didn’t listen to her. She had told Penny about their plans so that she wouldn’t go out with them. Hughes didn’t know what to do.
She had no idea why Abby and Greg were hellbent on taking Osvaldo’s properties.
The Adkins’ main mansion was a palace, its lounge glittering with the finest gold, crystal, and smug power. Abby sat on a velvet couch like a queen. Greg lounged beside her. Across the room sat Ariana, her eyes gleaming with a secret grin.
She was more than ready to take Penny’s position in the Adkin family. Once she’s achieved that, she would make sure Penny suffers for everything she’s done. If Penny thinks she’s in charge, well, she will see tonight.
"You asked for me, Mother," Penny said, steady and cold. Ignoring the other things around. She really wanted to know how they would impliment their plans.
She was curious to see how they would take her out.
Abby stared at the girl. When she first met Penny, she had thought the girl would be naive and easy to control as Chris had said, but it turns out she’s the opposite of it. She’s smarter than they all thought. And if they do nothing about it, this fat bitch might kick them out of the family for good.
