Just like Osvaldo had said, he left for his trip with his lawyers and was yet to return.

Penny on the other hand spent most of her time in the lab with Darlington and other times in her room responding to her teams messages as they prepared for the biggest science exhibition of the year.

Her name has already rang bells across the globe, and though the higher ups were yet to see her as a threat since she didn’t have an identity yet, her good work haven’t gone unnoticed either.

There were several talks about who she was already and how she would be of good use to their union.

Penny now lying on the bed stared at their phone screen like she was watching an interesting movie.

She has sent her father series of text that he hasn’t responded to yet. It’s obvious he was angry at her.

Maybe now is not the best time to meet him. She had lied to him that day. He has every right to be upset with her. But she hoped he wouldn’t stay mad for long.

She stared at her laptop, watching her team’s preparations for the big event. They had sent her a few videos of the event location and it looked so nice.

They had also informed her about Ariana and her attempt to bribe her and she has rejected every offer they made. Right now, the Peterson’s were threatening her with the Adkins wealth and Penny couldn’t help but laugh.

She couldn’t wait to shut them all up.

For years, everyone only saw her as the fat unimportant girl who does nothing but occupy space around.

In less than two weeks, the world would find out who Miss Pen really is in the biggest science event of the year. So many government officials will be present, including her mentor and many more.

And for the first time in a while... Penny was super excited.

Penny immediately brought out her cellphone and sent a text to her assistant.

"I love it." She clicked send and in less than a second, another message popped up.

"That is good news boss." The response came in quickly.

"I was beginning to think... Maybe you haven’t made up your mind about your apprentice since so many people passed the test." Another text came in and Penny read through it. She frowned slightly.

"What is this fool getting at?" She murmured starill staring at her screen.

"In my opinion, I think it would be nice if you picked Ariana Adkins. She’s going to bring so many opportunity for you, especially because she’s an Adkins. That alone is an advantage." Penny smiled at the text.

What Adkins was Ariana? She’s a Peterson, they aren’t even in the chart for prominent figures in the country.

"But her score is the lowest amongst the other student." Penny texted back. Why would she want a standing that barely know what She’s doing.

Every project Ariana has ever written was done by her, why would she want her?

Whoever was going to be her apprentice, needed to be the best. She couldn’t see herself working with someone who had no idea what they are doing.

"I... I don’t think that matters ma’am. Her family are offering hundreds of millions. That can help us." He tried to convince her.

"For the failing part, I heard she was under pressure, that is why she failed." Penny smacked her lips at his foolishness. This man is easily swayed by money. He should not be a part of her team at all.

"I don’t need their millions." Penny briefed. She was about to text more when the door to her bedroom opened and Hughes stepped in.

They had no idea how their miss Penny had survived the night with their master. Even Darlington had no idea since Penny had told him his solution did nothing. But she had survived.

Hughes stared at her new madam with wide eyes like she has been doing since they all stepped in.

"What is it Hughes?" Penny asked the older housekeeper.

"M... Miss Ariana is here to see you. It is true Miss Penny, she’s changed a lot." Penny smiled at her words. Now this was interesting.

She picked her cellphone and started walking away. When Penny reached the lounge, she was greeted by her very own sister, who looked completely different from how she used to be.

Ariana still had held her shoulders high staring at her sister. She felt so jealous. How can Penny look this beautiful while she was looking so ugly and unattractive?

The body she is carrying right now, belongs to Penny. Penny is the fat one.

Penny stood gracefully, wearing a soft smile on her lips, the kind that looked sweet, but cut deep.

"Ariana," Penny said gently, her voice like a feather floating on air.

Ariana’s jaw tightened.

Penny had gotten even more slender, it’s like she reduces every hour, but Ariana refused to ask her for help.

To her, Penny’s smile right now was mockery. Of course it was mockery. How dare she smile at her?

But in truth, Penny was simply observing. Admiring, even. She truly did think Ariana looked beautiful, just not in the way Ariana wanted to.

But of course she couldn’t say it to her yet. Ariana had been one of the pioneers of her insecurities and she would let her face everything she felt.

In her hands, and in the hands of others. Her baby sister, deserves a little punishment for being a wicked witch all these times.

"When did you change so much?" Penny asked, tilting her head slightly, her tone soft, almost innocent.

Ariana stepped forward, biting back the tears she didn’t know she had.

She hadn’t come just to talk. She had a plan.

"I brought this," Ariana snapped, thrusting a gold-trimmed card at her. "My engagement invitation."

Penny took it with both hands, still smiling.

"Congratulations," she whispered.

"You can save it for yourself and the madman Penny. I maybe fat now, but I’m more beautiful than you were and Chris is still by my side. It just goes to show how much he loves me instead." Ariana started.
