Abby would need to speak to thewyers. Since Osvaldo had shown no improvement whatsoever, Penny had no use in their mansion.


    "Mother, what going on?" Chris rushed to his mother’s side, nose twitching at the stench from both his mother and mother-inw.


    "Oh, Chris." Abby started dramatically. She couldn’t let the people around her know she had a hidden son, so she held her tongue. News flies, and that was something she was afraid of.


    The Adkin’s true heiring out in public was not something she wanted. They have stolen everything belonging to that madman and we’re not ready to let go yet.


    "Help your mother Chris. Penny, she’s a witch." Abby cried out stretching her hands for her son and he did help her up. In all her life, she has never run like she did today. Her legs were already too weak to move anymore.


    With gritted teeth, Chris turned to the people around. "Thank you for your concern and attendance. Please the party is over, you can leave now." He said politely, but the guest didn’t take it the right way.


    Most people felt like they were being disrespected by the Adkins heir. Just because they’re the richest family in the world doesn’t mean they are above everyone else. There’s something called respecting your elders.


    Status and wealth cannot always define that.


    "How rude." The women who couldn’t hold their tonguesshed out. They all discarded one after another murmuring insults as they left.


    "What happened to you two, you smell like urine." Chris helped Maybelline from the floor her legs vibrating as she stood.


    "It’s your brother, Chris," Abby said.


    "You never told me that man was that dangerous." May continued. He had made her apologize to Penny today, something she could never do. Not even in a million years. Maybelline had seen her life sh before her eyes today.


    She thought she would die by now.


    "I thought we have Penny to tame him?" That’s the reason Ariana was rotting in the dungeon. Because they all thought Penny was better since she could tame the madman.


    "So I thought till she unleashed him on us. Chris, Penny is using that madman as her weapon to fight us. Are you sure you were not wrong about her?" Chris frowned, and then he smiled.


    He could understand why Penny was doing this. It’s obvious she was still very much upset he had rejected her and married his sister instead. It’s not like it’s his fault anyway.


    It’s obvious Penny is still in love with him. He wouldn’t lie, he had liked her too when they were together until he learned she was not the adopted Adkins daughter. Chris knew he had to follow the rules, and it was simple.


    Seduce the Wird’s heiress. Make her fall in love with you and marry her off. When he found out Penny was not the Wird heiress, he had found another job for her. In other to keep her closer, he had married her off to his useless brother.

    "I’ll speak to her," Chris said. If only he could make her understand he didn’t mean to dump her that day. He just had to find another way to keep her close, and being married to his useless brother was the only way out.


    Literary, Chris was married to both women. He wouldn’t mind sharing himself, only that Penny would be his little secret. She’s the woman he loves that cannot be shown in public.


    He knew she wouldn’t mind. She has always been in the shadows all her life.


    "There’s nothing to talk about Chris. I want her gone, we’ll find someone else to do the job." May agreed immediately. She had told Abby this before, but her friend wouldn’t listen. Now look at what had happened to them.


    "Your mother is right Chris, listen to her. That girl is nothing but trouble to you and your family." May added.


    "We could find a different woman for your mad brother. Someone worthy enough, not that stupid pig." She added. Chris said nothing more. He knew both women were still upset about Osvaldo’s actions. He would let them cool off and maybe speak some sense into them by morning.


    But no matter what, he couldn’t lose Penny. He was done pretending like he didn’t like her. Like she was something disgusting. To him, Penny was more than her physical appearance. She was smart, funny and lovely.


    They have both connected in ways no one understood.


    He had insulted her because of his family. Not because he meant everything he said.


    "Let’s get you two cleaned first. We can talk about the rest tomorrow." Chris said as he led them inside the mansion.
