ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO A MAD BILLIONAIRE-Chapter 38: IT’S TOO LATE CHRISTIAN

The Adkins main mansion was alive again as maids moved around as always, keeping things back in order, especially after the huge celebration last night.

The celebration had been about Chris and Ariana, hosting more than 100 elite guests at their mansion. It’s unfortunate that Ariana couldn’t be at the party. She was busy serving her punishment in the dungeon.

Over in the dining room, the rectangular table was filled with different dishes to its brim. Abby and May still had their grim expression.

It seems they have both woken up by the wrong side of the bed today. Even if both women had spent hours bathing through the night, they still felt dirty.

The stench of Osvaldo’s urine and the salty taste of it was still imprinted in their heads. He had spilled everything on them, smiling as he did it as if he enjoyed it.

Of course, he enjoyed it.

He did it before the maids in the mansion, everyone laughed at them. Abby clenched her hands into a fist. She’d never let this slide, Penelope must pay for this.

"Good morning Mother, Aunt May. How was your night?" Chris pegged his mother’s cheek and walked over to his seat.

"Good morning Father, Uncle David." He greeted both his father and father-in-law. Both men looked normal, compared to the women.

"Good morning Chris," David responded.

"What’s so good about this morning David?" Maybelline cried out like a wronged child. She’s the same as her daughter. Sweet and innocent facade, behind a demon.

"Nothing about this morning or today would be fine if Penny doesn’t leave the Adkins family for good," May added. She still stands by her words and she would make sure the Adkins kick Penny out.

"It’s not as easy as it seems Aunt May," Chris said.

"Osvaldo is already fond of Penelope. You know how hard it was Mother to find him a wife." Chris said calmly, adding butter to his bread as he took a bite.

"We hired her to tame your brother Chris. But it’s clear she cannot do her job. What’s the point of keeping her?"Abby said this time. Rather than helping them in that situation, Penny had just watched the madman mess with them.

"May is right Chris. The earlier we get Penny out the better for us all." Abby said. She had seen it herself last night. The only reason the madman attacked them was because of Penny. She used him to attack them last night.

Abby was scared she might get more powerful and use Osvaldo as a weapon to chase them all out if they let her stay longer.

Ariana was right, Penny never should have been trusted.

"You promised me she would be easy to tame Chris. Now she seems so impossible." Abby added.

"Why don’t we invite her over and set things straight to her? We’ll put her in her place and make her understand how things are." Chris suggested.

Penny isn’t one to refuse anything they say. She’s easy to manipulate and control. Though recently, she has changed a lot, and Chris knew why.

"We’re not doing that Chris. That girl needs to be taught more lessons than just being talked to. Not after what she did." Abby said.

She would see to it that Penny is kicked out today once the Adkin’s Lawyers arrive.

She knew they were running out of time before it was public that they were broke, but they could endure just a little with Ariana’s dowry for the time being. But Penny must leave.

"I’ll go give Ariana food," Chris announced taking a portion as he stepped out of their mansion. He had no idea what Penny was thinking when she did what she did, but he knew he had to speak to her.

"What a lovely son-in-law. He cares so much about my Ariana." Maybelline remarked as she stared at her son-in-law.

"She’s my wife’s mother," Chris said calmly. "It’s my duty to care for her."

"They would make such a lovely couple," Gregory said and May nodded in agreement.

"Chris, I need a favor from you once you’re done tending to Ariana." Abby suddenly said and Chris had her listening ears.

"I want all the servants present when Osvaldo did what he did to pay. I think they forget soon who’s boss and had acted out." Abby said.

"Stop every supply of food from the penthouse for a week." She added. She had heard from Barnaby that Penny didn’t get the black card or even get to sign the golden letter because of her tantrums.

At first, Abby had been upset about it. But now, she was glad Penny didn’t get it. This way, it would be easier to kick her out of the Adkin family for good.

"Yes, Mother," Chris said calmly and started walking away.

"Abby, why do you even need to search for a wife for your mad son?" Maybelline turned to her newfound friend. She has been wondering herself why Abby would keep her mad son alive when she knew it would taint their image.

And why the hell was she looking for a wife for her mad son?

"Somethings are left unsaid." Abby smiled. "Let’s just say it’s the same reason you kept Penny even if she’s a shame to you." May scoffed at Abby’s words.

"Kept Penny?" May scoffed. "The only reason that fat pig is not dead is because I went about it the wrong way and before I figured out my mistake she was already grown," May said proudly like it was some achievement.

Since she couldn’t kill Penny, she finally decided to ruin her life. She made her too big. Penny got fat even without eating.

Chris who had overheard the conversation on his way out, frowned at May’s words. He knew Penny had been through some shit due to what she told him, but he never knew it was to this level.

What mother plans to kill their children no matter what?

It’s not like it’s her fault she was the product of the sin her stupid father committed.

Yes, Penny had told him everything about her existence. It’s pretty much the first thing she told him the first day they met. Chris could recall that day all over again.

He was on his normal quest of finding a wife when he found her. But she was different from the others.

"Take the food to Ariana, I’ll be there shortly." The maid bowed and started walking away, with the tray of food in her hands.

Chris turned to face the massive Penthouse at the far end of the estate. He took a deep breath and started walking towards it. He has missed Penny a lot and cannot longer endure it anymore.
