When Penny reached the mall with Hughes, they stepped inside the big building. People were scattered around from one angle to another.

Bright lights poured from the high ceilings. Shiny tiles stretched across the floor like a river of stars. Everywhere they looked, there were glittering signs, polished glass, and quiet music playing in the background.

There were different sectors for different goods. The clothes sector, the food sector, and the bag sector. This was one of the biggest malls in all of Owlsgrave.

Hughes gasped, her mouth falling open. "This... this is a mall?" she whispered, blinking like a baby deer in headlights. It’s been more than 15 years since she’s left the Adkins mansion, so everything she saw looked so new.

The last time she was out here, there were no skyscrapers like she saw on the road. No tall buildings, just a few houses. Things really did change so fast.

Penny nodded at her words with a faint smile. "Yes. You’ll get used to it."

Hughes didn’t move. She looked around like she had just stepped into another world. "No mud... no shouting... no crowds pushing... Is this heaven?"

Penny chuckled. Hughes really did look like a cavewoman who’d stumbled into a crystal palace. Her simple clothes and big eyes made her stand out. Though now old, she still had her fair share of beauty.

If only her life had been less suffering she would have experienced the change of the town from a young age.

"Alright, let’s get started. We have a lot to shop for," Penny said in her calm, usual tone. She took the lead and walked toward one of the sectors filled with daily essentials.

Behind her, Hughes followed like a duckling, still amazed. The two maids who had escorted them trailed behind them quiet and watchful, along with the Adkin’s guards.

Since Penny is the new Miss Adkins, it’s only normal they protect their new miss as much as their master. She is the Madman’s chosen Bride after all.

Penny smiled as she walked through, last time she was here, she’d walked these halls with empty pockets and a heavy heart. That day, she couldn’t even afford a bottle of water. And even if her stepfather owned this place, she was never given the chance to get things for free like Ariana.

Now, she had a sleek black card resting in her worn-out purse.

The Adkin’s unlimited black card. She could shit on all the faces of the people that once disrespected her. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"You two, go to that section and get everything we would need. Meet me at the counter. Hughes come with me." Penny ordered her maids and they all did as asked.

Penny took Hughes to the clothes sector. Since the woman had been a good assistant to her, she thought it was right to get her knee clothes rather than them wearing the same torn clothes they were used to wearing.

Abby’s maids usually have a change of clothes and uniform, but never Osvaldo’s maids. They looked lower than the street beggars around.

"Miss Penny, why are we here?" Hughes asked staring at her young miss."

"To get us new outfit Hughes. Since you have been very good to me, I want to be good to you too." Penny said calmly and the older woman smiled.

"I will." Penny walked to the next section of the mall where her size was found. She had wanted to manage the clothes she had but they were really bad too.

Penny picked a few dresses, especially the one she had admired a few months back while she entered here.

"What are you doing here fatso?" Someone suddenly said from behind and both Hughes and Penny turned to look at her.

She’s Stacey one of Ariana’s best friends, Penny recognizes her from anywhere. She’s one of the people who have made her life a living hell.

Stacey is a daughter from a prominent family too. A bitchy girl who looks down on people, especially her.

In her hands were different shopping bags. She must have gone to the expensive section of the mall to get the latest designer bag as always.

"What are you doing here?" She asked but before Penny could respond, her guards stood right in front of her.

"Get away from our madam. You’re not allowed to come close to her." They announced.

"What are you talking about?" The girl scoffed staring at the gigantic-looking men.

"You don’t even have the money to pay for what you’ve bought yet you hired a bodyguard?" The girl asked and Penny almost laughed.

Are people just naturally dumb or was it something else? Why would she hire a guard if she doesn’t have the money to pay for what she’s ordered?
