Abby and Maybelline ran through the yard, ignoring the few guests still around. Those people ran with them too and when they reached the front yard of the Adkins main mansion, they paused.
Abby’s hands were pressed to her knees as she tried to catch her breath. Maybelline fell on the floor, hands and legs apart from each other. Their body reeked with the smell of urine.
"What happened Mrs Adkins?" One man amongst the people that ran with them asked as they glanced behind.
They had all thought a monster was chasing them due to how both women ran, or the Adkins estate had been invaded by gunmen.
"I... It’s nothing." Abby said calmly, still trying to maintain a calm demeanor even if she was dying to breathe.
"W... Why are you stinking Mrs Adkin?" One woman covered her nose and the others followed, their faces twisted in disgust. They all started moving backwards one after another.
Abby smelled herself and almost puked. This is so embarrassing.
That stupid mad boy. He had peed on them tonight. He had reduced them to nothing. But that was not the most annoying part, the bitch Abby had hired to care and tame him stood there watching.
She even smiled as she watched Osvaldo humiliate them. Well since Penny cannot do what she’s hired for, it’s time she left.
Abby would need to speak to the lawyers. 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-in-law.
"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 heir coming 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 tongues lashed out. They all discarded one after another murmuring insults as they left.
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.
