章 25: She got lucky!

In the Cortez Household, Yugi and Yuri eagerly leaned forward after Jessa sent a message to Penny's parents. 

"Mom, did they agree?" Yugi asked anxiously. "What did they say?"

Yuri didn't say anything, but her eyes carried a look of anticipation. 

Jessa glossed her eyes over her children and crossed her arms. She leaned back on the couch in their living room and smirked.

"They said they will meet me first."

The two children looked at each other, unsure if that was a good thing. 

"Don't worry, kids. Your mother got this," Jessa reassured, her cunningness flickering in her eyes.

When Penny left the household, even Jessa felt like the house was a little empty and bigger. Penny was the family's savior. Initially, Jessa thought Penny was better off with her real family. Even so, she was curious about what sort of family the Bennets were, so she did some digging, and she gradually realized that the Bennet family was filthy rich!
