"You don’t belong here Penny, if I were you, I would leave before I get disgraced," May said. She thought she could bully her daughter to leave like before. It has always worked.

Though recently, Penny was stubborn, but the girl has always pleased her. She had always done everything she’d asked.

Penny stared at her mother indifferently. "Why would I leave when I got invited?" She asked.

"I invited you, Penny. And right now I think that’s the biggest mistake of my life. Now leave before you embarrass us more."

"You..." Darlington wanted to speak but Oenny held his hands. She would not allow him to banter words with her foolish mother and sister.

"You think so highly of yourself Ariana. I got invited personally by Mr Xavier himself. Now leave." Penny said and turned away.

Maybelline gritted her teeth. She wanted to speak but then stopped when certain golden eyes shifted to her. Osvaldo hummed his melody as he watched them speak.

"I’m warning you to leave now Penny before I call the security on you. Don’t think because you’re slim now you will be accepted by society or the world. You’re still the fat ugly Penelope to me." Ariana’s burned with envy and jealousy as she stared at her sister.

Once again, Penny had outshined her tonight. She couldn’t accept this. Her friends and everyone she knew Admired Penny tonight.

"Maybelline." Someone called from behind and May turned to greet her with the sweetest smile. Ariana smiled too. The mother and daughter duo knew how to pretend so much. They were so alike.

"Wow, is she your child too?" Maybe frowned and was about to deny Penny like always but.

"Oh my goodness, you’re so beautiful, darling. You took after your mother. You did a good job raising her May." The woman added.

"Of course, this is Penelope, my first child daughter," May said calmly.

"Wow May, God has really blessed you with the most beautiful children. I can’t believe this is your child." Another person couldn’t control her tongue anymore.

"And she’s even more good-looking than Ariana." Another said and the praises kept coming one after another.

Ariana frowned at their praises. This couldn’t be her life. Since when was Penny ever more beautiful than she was?

Penny cannot be more beautiful. No! She’ll never let this slide. She must take her glory back.

While everyone praised them, Xavier finally had the opportunity to walk over to where his child was. Besides him was Barry, who couldn’t believe his elder brother had a daughter as beautiful as Penny.

"Maybelline," Xavier called but May ignored him completely, rolling her eyes.

"Mr Xavier." Ariana moved forward. "When are you going to introduce your daughter to everyone?" She asked sweetly hoping she could meet the new Bloodsworth’s heiress and befriend her.

She would never let Penny steal her shine this time.

"I’m about to do that right now," Xavier said and Ariana smiled.

She also wishes she was Xavier’s child too. Everyone wishes that, but that could only be a dream. Xavier glanced at Penelope, signaling his assistant to hand him the mic.

This would be the first time in his entire life, he is this close to his child. He now knows what she smells like and what she looks like from up close. He wanted to apologize to her for neglecting her all these years.

"Hello, Miss Penelope." Penny stared at the man her eyes as calm as the breaking of dawn.

"Mr Bloodsworth." She greeted me with a slight bow. Xavier’s eyes shifted to the man beside his daughter. The useless Adkin’s hair who played with her hair.

He still didn’t understand her relationship with these people but everything ended tonight. He would take his child from her pain, and protect her with everything he has.

His eyes moved further to the old man with silver hair who stood beside his grandson and Xavier raised a brow. The powerful Darlington Adkins was here in his party, yet he was acting so little and powerless.

This old man is very cunning. It’s the only way he has been able to accumulate so much wealth from his family. He wished Dewitt took after his father.

Dewitt, though a genius, he was stupid. He was too soft. They all looked up to him back then. Every young boy wanted to be Dewitt, wealth-wise.

He wanted to greet Darlington, but he let it go. If the old man was hiding, it was for a good reason.

Maybelline gritted her teeth at their exchange. No! She couldn’t accept this.

What about her Ariana?

It’s enough that Penny now owns the Adkin’s wealth. How can she own the Bloodsworth’s wealth too?

"No need to be formal. Not to worry, you’ll understand my statement soon." Ariana eyed her sister stylishly and then turned to the man again.

She must beat Penny to meet Xavier’s daughter. She would never let Penny steal that opportunity away from her too.

Penny has taken too much tonight. It was her turn to shine now.

Penny stared at Xavier wondering what he meant by his statement. Was he talking about the business deal he proposed?

She wondered what deal he meant. Did he want to partner with her because she was now an Adkins?

"Can I get your attention please?" Xavier said calmly, and everyone turned to look at him. It seems the moment they have all been waiting for has arrived.

"I invited you all especially to join me in celebrating the return of my daughter. The heiress of the Bloodsworth family. After so many years of waiting, I can finally be with my child again." He said calmly staring at Penny who stared at him in confusion.

If he was going to announce his child to the world, why the hell was he looking at her?

"I’ve missed you so much, my child. You don’t know how long Daddy has waited for this moment." He said, his eyes still on her.

Ariana who stood beside Penny stared at her sister and then at Xavier.

Was he talking about Penelope?

No! She shook her head. It’s impossible. Penny cannot be a Bloodsworth. Her mother told her Penny’s real father was dead.

"Please join me to celebrate the return of my daughter. Penelope Bloodsworth."
