Chapter 89
Hey DaoistnrKflM, thanks for the gift. I love you. (๑ ๑ p>
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 p>
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 p>
“The only thing you know how to do is attract a mentally ill patient just like you p>
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 p>
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.
“I’ll go get it.” She said calmly and started walking away. Her slippers soft against the floor as she headed for the lab.
From another part of the lounge, Osvaldo stood at a corner fuming at Ariana’s words. This little brat. How dare she insult his Penguin like this?
And how dare his Penguin be quiet about it? He would have to teach her how to bad mouth the stupid langing thing with a big wide mouth.
Right now, he had a fool to medd with. Not only had this annoying brat disrupted his sweet breakfast with his Penguin, but she had also insulted his Penguin.
When will these people learn his Penguin was far from being ugly? Only he is allowed to bully her however he likes, no one else has that right.
Ariana’s cup was finally full, Osvaldo couldn’t stand her anymore.
He chuckled deeply, an amused laugh escaping his throat as he thought of the things he would do to her.
He ruffled his hair the long black thick strands falling to his shoulder. He took out his shoes and started towards Ariana, his robe loosely hanging on his shoulder, displaying his chiseled chest.
His eyes… those golden eyes were glowing with something wild.
Even while mad, Osvaldo still looked heavenly.
“Pretty.” He walked straight toward her eyes on her like a predator circling the cage. Ariana panicked at she saw him, her heart racing wildly.
She had not expected to see the madman today. She wanted to scream, but she held herself.
Wait! Did he just call her pretty?
Did the madman just call her pretty? Does this mean she had a chance to with him? With his wealth?
Ariana smiled, tucking her hair to the side, smiling. Even the madman knew she was pretty. But Osvaldo only laughed in his mind.
What a fool! He thought staring at the girl. She wanted everything her sister had yet here she was moments ago badmouthing Penny like he was some disease.
“Pretty.” He said again with a smile.
“I know I’m pretty madman if only I had found you first.” Ariana smiled. “But it’s not too late you know. All I have to do is kick the useless Penny out.” She muttered staring at him.
“You prefer me to my sister don’t you?” Ari asked but Osvaldo suddenly bent on his knee, crawling to the girl standing in the lounge like he was a little animal eating to be hugged or kissed.
Ariana didn’t run away, she stood there smiling from ear to ear ready to receive him. She couldn’t wait for Penny to come see how the madman loved her and preferred her instead.
She would show Penny that she can also take the madman without even trying.
When Osvaldo reached her feet, Ariana bent down to pat his hair, but his next move made her pause.
BLAACCH!
“Eww Ariana blurted out.
