Chapter 4: THROWN OUT
After three days locked in the Willard mansion without a drop of water or a bite to eat, Penny was finally thrown out.
David Willard stood on the marble steps, arms crossed as two servants dumped her bags onto the wet ground.
"What you did was out of line, Penelope. I can't have a girl like you embarrassing our family," he said coldly.
He had never seen her as a daughter. If it weren't for her mother, he would've thrown her out long ago. In fact, this time, it was Maybelline's idea to kick her out.
"You already humiliate us just by existing. Now you want to add stupidity on top of that?" David snapped. "You're married, aren't you? Go find your husband. Even if he kicks you out, don't bother crawling back."
He didn't look at her again. He turned and walked inside.
Penny didn't flinch. She had already cried too much to cry again.
Penny barely blinked before Maybelline's voice cut through. "Look at you, Penelope. You dared to humiliate Ariana on her special night. This is what you get." Penny stared at her in silence.
They all knew the truth. Ariana stole her fiancé. Ariana humiliated her in front of everyone. But as always, Maybelline would side with her.
You're my mother too. Ariana is not your only child. Can't you just have a little empathy, just this once?" She had done every DNA test possible, praying Maybelline wasn't her real mother. But fate had been cruel, Maybelline was her biological mother
Maybelline scoffed. "Mother? Empathy? What do you have to offer, Penny, besides your weight and your empty head?" She started, completely out of line.
