"What have you done Penelope? You have killed them." Abby accused Penny imdiately. She had expected walking in here to Penny being ruined to no return, not her killing the two servants she sent after her.
What the hell is going on? This is not how she had planned her morning. Penny should be ruined in bed and be shad for being a whore. Osvaldo should not be seated beside her, they should not be together.
Abby panicked imdiately, she had just told a huge lie about Penny, and this was not a good look on her image. Especially before the Adkin’s lawyers.
While she panicked, standing next to his wife, Chris smiled stylishly. Seeing that Penny was still untouched relieved him. Here he thought she was ruined. He couldn’t believe he was already disgusted by her without actually finding out the truth.
He felt ashad of himself. But he didn’t think too much. This was the ga of life. One doesn’t have to think with their heart but their heads. If he thinks with his heart even for a mont, then he would be ruined.
That is what his mother always told him while growing up.
"Unfortunately, I did nothing to them," Penny said boldly. If what Osvaldo said was true, then Abby and her family had really set her up this ti.
What if Osvaldo was not with her?
These n would have had their way with her. They would have ruined her. Penny couldn’t believe she scolded Osvaldo who had only tried to protect her. Osvaldo was right, these n deserve nothing but death for what they did to her.
"This is a sacred house Penny, how can you kill people in here?" Ariana spoke out glaring at her sister. She too could not believe her effort to steal Penny’s position as Lady Adkins was now in vain.
Their servants have failed to ruin Penny, and worse of all, Osvaldo was with her. How will the lawyers believe them now?
"I’m not speaking gibberish, Ariana." Penny said. "Those n are lucky I didn’t deal with them myself. If I had, no one would’ve found their bodies."
She was done being kind. Every chance she gave them had only led to betrayal. Now, they would learn who they were really dealing with.
"What really happened, Miss Penny?" Timothy asked, brows drawn together. He felt like a fool. Again. He had believed Abby. He had let this circus continue for too long.
They were all fed up by the unnecessary drama and fight all the ti. The one with the golden contract is ant to be the most respected one, but they had no idea why their new lady Adkins wanted to hide that. She was Osvaldo’s wife for crying out loud.
The richest woman in all of Owlsgrave, yet wants to hide that identity.
"Why are you not in the Penthouse?" Willy asked.
"Because my mother-in-law wanted to try sothing new," Penny replied coolly. "She wanted to replace ."
The lawyers exchanged uneasy glances. No one ssed with an Adkins like this and got away with it.
"You haven’t signed the golden contract yet, Penny. Which ans you can still be replaced," Ariana said, trying to sound in control.
"Really?" Penny raised an eyebrow, amused.
"Yes, really," Abby added quickly. "Especially after you murdered those n. That disqualifies you, legally and morally."
When all else failed, she’d hoped murder would be the final nail in Penny’s coffin. No one would accept a murderer into their family.
"We won’t let you drag our family na through the mud," Abby said, her tone vicious. "You don’t belong here, Penny. You’re not cultured enough to be an Adkins."
"And who made you the judge of that?" Timothy shot back.
"The rules are clear, Mr. Timothy. I survived the night," Ariana declared, stepping forward. "That makes the new wife."
Osvaldo’s jaw clenched. He had heard enough.
His fists curled tightly at his sides. He didn’t like the continuous argunt or the disrespect at his Penguin, it drove him crazy. He was slowly losing his sanity. He couldn’t believe how stupid the Adkins lawyers were. How dare they tolerate this, without locking these people up.
He fought to stay calm. He needed to stay calm. He couldn’t overthink now, he couldn’t get angry, even if he wanted to pounce on soone. Even if he wanted to rip people apart.
But he didn’t want to scare his Penguin again. She looked frightened at his work from before. The last thing he wants was to scare her away from him. To let her see the monster he was.
He has tried to hard to hide it this far. He couldn’t let her know yet.
He was mad, right? That’s the one thing he knew how to do very well.
He smiled.
"Why would we search for a new wife when our master is already married to one?" Timothy asked the girl.
Osvaldo suddenly turned to Ariana, a wild smile displaying on his face, showing his white teeth. Ariana glanced at the madman and suddenly, a certain unease settled in her chest.
She blinked many tis, staring at the others and then back at him, but he didn’t stop smiling. His gaze held her in place.
She realized this terrifying smile more than anything. It’s the sa smile he had last night when he had visited with blood dripping down his hair.
Her heart raced as she stared at him. She wanted to run but she couldn’t. She tried to ignore him, but she just couldn’t avoid those piercing gazes.
She knew she wasn’t tripping. She knew it wasn’t a dream. Penny and her mad husband had tried to kill her last night. They’re both crazy people.
"Did the sa rules also say to set up with servants? And instruct them to have their way with ?" Penny said and Abby’s lips twitched.
"What are you talking about?" Treadwell asked with a frown. Abby and her family had really crossed the line this ti.
