That would be the most awkward thing to say, knowing he has Grandpa Darlington, Hughes, and Barnaby.


    Penny wished to be in theb again. One week away was really stressful, and right now, her uncle wants to watch her every move.


    She should be practicing more madness drugs on Osvaldo. Though she’s sent a few samples to herb for experimentation, they have yet to respond to her. It seems even her best workers are unable to find the cure for it.


    She still stands by her words, that no one can find the actual cure for madness. But she has to try.


    Osvaldo had helped her lose her excess weight in no time. Something she thought to be impossible for years. He had helped her wipe her tears, and she must help him with his.


    She knew he hadn’t meant to hurt that man. She could see it in his eyes that day. He was terrified at what he did too.


    She must find the cure for him. She must help Osvaldo in any way she can. She could speak to Darlington and tell him her new ideas and they could work together. It’s not like she would be staying in the Adkins mansion.


    Penny nodded at her thoughts.


    It’s been a week already, Osvaldo should be fine by now. She doesn’t need to see him to be able to help him. He has helped her a lot, so she couldn’t abandon him.


    Penny was about to get out of bed when her cellphone beeped. She turned it on and read through the message with a smile.


    "Someone by the name Ariana Wird had bought her way into your apprenticeship program. Her family paid a good sum which cam help repair a few damaged items here. Should we let her through for the sake of that?" Penny frowned at the message.


    Why wasn’t she told about the damaged items?


    She dialed a number immediately.


    "Hello, boss." A male voice sounded from the other end.


    "How much do you need to rece the damaged items?" She asked.


    "Huh?" He asked shocked at her question. Why was she asking about the cost like she had the money to pay? Everyone knows Penny is almost broke and the only time she gets money is when she sells a few drugs.


    But the damaged items in theb coat cost a fortune. It’s the reason they haven’t been able to tell her. Because they knew, just selling drugs wouldn’t be able to do anything for them.


    "Are you dead?" Penny asked.


    "No... No boss, I’m just a little shocked by your question." He said.


    "It’s just that a costs a fortune to rece those items." He said.


    "How much is it?" Penny asked and he wondered whether to tell her about it or not. It’s not like she can afford it anyway. That is why they need the money from the new student.


    One couldn’t always be upright, there are times you have to be selfish too.


    "Every item that has been broken could amount to 50milliom boss. That is why I suggest we ept..."


    "I’ll send the money to you right now. I don’t want to hear a word about this anymore. And also, whenever there is an issue, learn to tell her first before making any decision." Penny hung up.


    For a moment, herd worker just stared at his cellphone in disbelief. Since when did their boss Penny have such money?


    A girl who has gone extinct because of her robust size.


    "Did she agree Mason?" A girl in there asked and he turned to look at her, mouth still hanging open from shock.


    "No." He managed. "She said she’d send the money instead."


    "Where will she get such money from?" Another person asked. "We barely make a thousand bucks from the drugs we sell. So how the hell does she want to cough out 50million?" He asked.


    "Miss Penny’s pride is just hurt and she doesn’t want to say it." Pauline was the one to speak this time. She had been the one to tell them about the news.


    After being convinced by Shakedown after the humiliation she got, she was finally here to tell Penny that their lives could each change.


    "You’re right. But what’s the use of protecting your pride when you have nothing?" Another person said.


    "Plus the people we’re dealing with are the most powerful people in all of Owlsgrave. If the boss uses this opportunity very well, she would make more from them."


    "You’re right. Talk some sense into her Mason. Let her see sense in it."


    While they all have their piece, Manson’s phone bleeped and his eyes got even wider.


    "What is it Mansion? They all watched his breathing in rasped.


    "Fif... Fif... Fifty million." Mason said unable to believe his eyes.


    "Fifty million, what are you talking about?" Another person walked over to check his phone and her eyes turned wide too.


    "It’s true. Miss Penny just sent in 50million."


    Murmurs rippled amongst them as they all wondered how. The penny they each knew was a poor girl, even though she was from a good family. How did shee up with such an amount?


    Did she steal it?


    "Are you guys done talking down on our boss?" A girl asked from the side. She had sat quietly watching them all day their piece about someone they knew nothing about.


    "What are you on about now?" Someone asked.


    Aliyah threw a paper on the table and Manson went ahead to pick it up. His eyes widened again at what he saw. At this point, his eyes might fall out from shock.


    "What is it Mansion?"


    "This looks like Miss Penny." He said.


    "It is her. She’s slimmed down now and it turns out she’s the daughter of Xavier Bloodsworth. An introduction party was heldst week. Everyone in Owlsgrave knows about this, howe you guys don’t?"
