CHAPTER 113: A JEALOUS SISTER

Hey Rosiielove thanks for the gift babe. This Chapter is for you. (⁠づ⁠￣⁠ ⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠づ

Penny was never truly ugly.

But the world, with its harsh and narrow beauty standards, made her feel that way. Because she was plus-size, people around her treated her as if she didn’t belong, like her worth depended on her waistline.

To them, beauty meant thinness, and anything outside that box was ridiculed or ignored.

Greg stared at Penny differently right now.

"I’m so happy we’re fine now Father and Mother. Please come inside for some tea, I’m sure Mr Osvaldo will be excited to see you." Both people shook their heads immediately.

"No, no. You don’t have to worry dear, we’re fine here. Thank you for your gift." Greg said calmly. They didn’t need the madman’s curse.

"Are you sure? I can make tea for you." Penny asked so innocently, her blue eyes going wide a little as she blinked them.

"No. It’s fine dear. Maybe some other time." Greg said calmly and Penny nodded.

"Alright, if you say so. I’ll send some cookies over, make sure you eat it." Penny said and both people nodded. She watched Abby drag her husband who couldn’t take his eyes off her for some reason.

Penny bent her head to the side, wondering what was happening. Why was Greg staring at her like a lost dog? She hasn’t changed a bit from before...

While Penny stood there, someone stood in the shadows of the mansion watching her keenly. A familiar blue eyes burned with jealousy as she stared at her sister.

Even from afar, Ariana could see how much her sister was glowing. Penny had lost so much weight in just a few days and Ariana wondered how.

Penny’s ugliness has been her only hope, if she was losing it now, what the hell is she supposed to do?

Ariana gritted her teeth as she watched her. She thought her mother had reassured her countless times Penny would never be able to lose weight ever. That meant Penny would be ugly forever.

Her mother had made sure to ruin her life, so what the hell was happening?

And why is Greg suddenly acting so nice to her?

Penny’s was back to steal her shine again without moving a finger. Ariana’s eyes moistened as she stared at her.

She’ll never allow it. She’ll never allow Penny to get more beautiful than she is. She’ll have to do something about this. Ariana clenched her hands into a fist as she watched Penny walk away. Her manicured nails dug into her palm drawing blood but she cares less.

She took out her cell phone and made a call immediately.

"Ari dear is everything alright?" Maybelline’s worried voice sounded.

"You lied mother." Ariana suddenly said.

"Lied?" May asked. "What will I love about dear?" She continued.

"Penny. You said she’ll never be beautiful again. You said she’ll never be as beautiful as I am. You promised me." Ariana cried out.

"Ari, what are you talking about? Penny is never going to be more beautiful than you are. I made sure of that. Why are you so upset right now?" May asked.

"Because she’s beautiful now. She’s turning beautiful mother." She hung up before May could even respond. She doesn’t need her mother anymore, she’ll take matters into her own hands.

When Penny stepped back inside the penthouse she was greeted by Darlington who stood by the door.

He trusted his granddaughter-in-law when she said she would handle the situation, but he needed to be extra careful too. The Petersons were cunning people, they would do anything for money and power.

"Did they do anything to you granddaughter?" Darlington asked worriedly as he held her hands to check her out and Penny shook her head amused. It’s been a while since anyone has genuinely cared for her like this.

"I’m fine grandpa." Penny laughed and Darlington sighed in relief. His hands settled on his chest as he tried to calm down.

"You should be careful of those people. They’re bad news." He said.

"Of course I’m careful. Don’t worry, nothing bad is happening to me." Penny assured him.

"Bad. What bad are you talking about?" Osvaldo’s deep voice sounded again, and Penny’s eyes quickly shifted to him. She wanted to jump on him, excited that he was finally back, but she held herself.

She couldn’t forget their relationship was all a sham. She shouldn’t get attached if she would not last long here.

"You’re back?" Grandpa Darlington asked elated. He would never get used to his grandson’s on-and-off madness but he was glad Osvaldo could live normally even if it’s for a short while.

"Since you’re here, Penny and I mixed a little antidote you should try." Darlington was speaking, but Osvaldo’s eyes were on his Penguin.

Penny on the other hand avoided his gaze like plaque. She stared at every other thing except the man standing just across the room. She had no idea why she was suddenly so embarrassed by his stare.

Does this always happen when two people get intimate? But Osvaldo was never shy around her while she sucked his dick countless times?

Or does it happen to just girls?

"Come, Osvaldo, let’s get started." Darlington started walking away and so did Penny and the madman who couldn’t take his eyes off his penguin.

He was staring because the sight of her made him feel weird in his heart. The weird feeling was scary in a way.

Why was he suddenly feeling that way?

"You had one job to do Greg, one job!" Abby yelled as she stepped inside the mansion with Greg.

"What did you want me to do? We were there to make peace not bring more problems." Greg tried to defend himself.

"Well, look at what your peace has brought us. We’ve been reduced to nothing." Abby started.

"How do we host Chris’s wedding now? We’ll be a laughing stock before the guest." Abby barked.

"We’ll take it one step at a time Abby. We have to make her trust us before we can manipulate her." Greg tried to reason with her.

"Well, we don’t have time Greg. We need to kick her out for good."

"I think father is right mother." Ariana chimed in.
