Penny stared at Ariana without a word. If only she knew she wasn’t the one who had decorated the penthouse. She never even thought of it, since Hughes said their master was always so violent so they had to take everything away.
"Using things you’ve never had a chance to use before?" Ariana stared at the vase in a corner. She was the one interested in beauty things, home furniture, and decorative materials and knew these furniture weren’t cheap. They were of the highest material.
What she didn’t understand was how Penng knew about them.
Ari knew her mother hadn’t taught Penny the normal rich society etiquette. Penny had no social class, she didn’t know how to behave, nothing.
Unlike Ariana who had all of the skills of being the best wife, she had learned to dance, play instruments, and most importantly, attended classes that taught her how to please a man.
Penny didn’t attend any of those classes. She knew nothing. So Ariana was still wondering how her sister knew about all of this.
Ariana took a slow step forward, her heels clicking against the polished floor. She tossed her hair over her shoulder and smirked.
"It’s quite ironic Penny isn’t it?" She smiled. "Mother is suffering right now, yet here you are living lavishly." She added.
"Lavish?" Penny smiled.
"Don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m talking about!" Ariana snapped, her voice rising. "Just because you’re in charge of the Adkins money for now doesn’t mean you belong here. Don’t let this place fool you."
She pointed a finger at Penny, her nails painted blood red.
"You’re still nothing, Penelope. Nothing. I’m smarter than you. Prettier than you. More refined than you’ll ever be. I had to suffer for everything I knew, how to walk, how to talk, how to impress important people. While you? You’re just a lucky pest that crawled into this family."
"The only thing you know how to do is attract a mentally ill patient just like you."
Penny’s smile didn’t falter.
"Don’t tell me you’re so insecure about my life now Ariana that you bad mouth it a lot?" Penny laughed.
"You have nothing to be insecure about Penelope. You’re fat, married to a madman, ugly... Name them?" Ariana was the one to laugh this time.
"Enjoy the richest while you can Penelope, because very soon, they’ll be gone as quickly as they came." Penny nodded at her words.
Ariana clenched her jaw and glanced around one more time, trying to stop the jealousy clawing at her chest. The cushions. The chandelier. Even the fresh scent of roses in the air. It was all perfect, and none of it was hers.
She’ll never let Penny feel important, even if it was very obvious her sister’s life was now perfect.
Ariana wanted to scream her lungs out. This should be her life, why Penny?
"I didn’t come here to chat with you," Ariana finally snapped. "I wouldn’t waste my time talking to someone like you. I’m here to get my project. I have a deadline today. Unlike you, I actually have work to do."
Penny fought not to respond. She had a lot of things to say to her stupid sister, but she held herself back. What she had planned for Ariana was far greater than the stupid insults thrown at her.
