"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." At Xavier’s words, Maybelline walked next to her daughter, grabbing her hand gently.

"I am your mother do not ever forget that Penelope." Maybelline started.

"I’ve been the one raising you all alone all these years. I’ve been shamed, insulted all because of you." Penny tried to get her hands off her mother’s grip, but Maybelline held her tighter.

"You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this moment, my child. Daddy misses you so much." Penny could feel her brain about to explode.

What was her mother saying these things to her and why was Xavier staring at her like he was speaking to her? She was not his child.

Why would she be Xavier Bloodsworth’s daughter?

"No matter what happens tonight, do not forget the fact that you ruined my life and owe me a lot." May continued.

"Please everyone join me to celebrate the return of my daughter, Penelope Bloodsworth." Xavier gestured his hands toward the girl who just stole the show not too long ago.

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

"You must reject him. You cannot be with a man that ruined my life, Penelope."

Penny stood frozen at a spot. Her head spun at his words. What the hell is going on?

Was this man her father?

Was he really her father?

Her father was so wealthy, yet all these years she suffered?

"I’ll let everything you have done in the past slide and we can be family again, but you have to reject him before everyone tonight." Maybelline kept talking in her ears.

Everyone in the building stared at Penelope waiting for her to meet her father. They all admired her, the single ladies were waiting to befriend her.

It seems Xavier values his daughter so much, they could use that to their advantage. If Penny loves them, then they have a chance at marrying Xavier Bloodsworth.

Darlington who stood beside his granddaughter-in-law was shocked at the revelation. He knew Penny was more than meet the eyes. Not only is she so smart, she’s a Bloodsworth now.

"Come my child." He said with a smile. "You’re my child, Penelope, I’m sorry I hadn’t been there all along." Everyone was shocked at how softly the CEO of Bloodsworth’s enterprise spoke so softly for the first time.

This was the first time they were all seeing a different side of Xavier.

Penny took a step towards her father but Maybelline held her back. "No! You’re not going anywhere. I won’t allow it." She hissed.

Murmurs began again and Barry frowned. This woman was at it again. She has punished his brother for more than twenty years and now she wouldn’t let him be with his child.

"You can not go to a man that ruined my life, Penelope. Not after everything I’ve done for you." Penny pulled her hands from her mother’s grip forcefully.

Maybelline was ready to create a scene tonight to ruin the event of the night. People were already talking about Xavier and the Bloodsworth family.

"I can’t believe this." Someone muttered.

"He abandoned them for years only to be back now and he wants to take the child from her. How wicked." Another person exclaimed.

Maybelline smiled. Her plans were working perfectly. She was getting people’s support back again. She will ruin Xavier and his useless daughter’s life again.

Barry didn’t like where this was going. This ungrateful woman was bringing back old wounds that the Bloodsworth family had managed to hide from the media for years. She was ready to destroy their reputation tonight.

"If you go to him after everything he’s done Penny, you’re no longer my daughter." Penny laughed.

"As if I care." He responded to her mother.

"What an ungrateful child." Someone murmured.

"What do you expect? She’ll always pick her father because he’s richer, forgetting her mother’s years of pain." Another person said.

"Such a selfish girl." Another woman said. The insults kept flying around and Penny just smiled at them.

If only they knew the woman crying before then was nothing but a demon thrown from hell. She isn’t a mother, she’s a manipulative demon.

"I would only listen to you if you tell me when you’ve been a mother to me aside from the time you birth to me." Penny suddenly said and everyone paused to listen.

What is she saying this time? Did her mother not take good care of her after all these years?

"Name one instant where you have been a mother to me?" Penny asked again, and Maybelline’s lips twitched. Even the Petersons knew Maybelline hated her daughter and they had all justified her bad attitude because they felt she was in pain, but right now, they couldn’t tell anymore.

"Penny, how can you say that to mother? We both know she housed and clothed you for years." Ariana stepped in for her mother. She will never let Penny paint her mother as bad.

"You all seem to have an amnesia that up until this night I was known as the fat disgusting pig of the family," Penny said.

"Something you did to me."

"How dare you accuse me wrongly?" May shouted immediately. "How can I be blamed for the quantity of food you stuffed in your mouth?" Maybelline denied everything before everyone.

"If you want to go to your father fine! But don’t ever stand there and say I did nothing for you when I did."

Penny smiled at her mother’s denial and lifted her dress to her knees. "This scar!" She pointed at the huge scar on her knee.

"Was the scar I got when you pushed me off a cliff." Gasp rippled around the hall, even Xavier was shocked by it.

"There are so many things you’ve done that should not be said in public. You were never a mother to me. And don’t think I would stand here and defend you." She continued.

"Did you also forget stopped my education because you said I was useless and a shameful secret that should not be shown in public.

You’ve never acknowledged being my mother, so why are you desperate to be one now?" Maybelline had nothing to say. She couldn’t deny it.

"If you didn’t send Penelope to school, then what happened to the millions Mr Bloodsworth sends every week for her well-being?" Brown was the one who asked this time and another wave of chatter spread across the room...
