SWNOVELS Chapter 24
Chapter 24
He had a hunch that the woman at the engagement party was Allison but now how could it possibly be?
This woman had approached him with a purpose and a plan. She hadn't shown up for the elective class for two weeks, but appeared on the day he gave the lecture. It was the same at the Flanagan family's house, continuously drawing his attention. But who would've thought she would turn out to be a loose and vain kind of person
Even though his drink was spiked, he could still recall bits and pieces. Last night, he wasn't out of control. Instead, after touching her body, he made an uncontrollable choice.
Thinking of this, Lucian suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze cold and profound. He reached out, abruptly pushing the documents in front of him. His slender fingers clenched, and his fist hit the table, making a dull sound.
He had really misjudged Allison!
Allison had been resting at home for a whole morning before she recovered. After lunch, she was called over by Margo.
As soon as she stepped into the villa, she was confronted by Margo. Seeing her, Margo immediately asked, "Allison, where were you last night?"
In the midst of their conversation, Margo noticed a love bite on Allison's fair neck, immediately seizing it like evidence. "Oh my, did you go fooling around with some riff-raff? I knew you weren't as pure as you seemed. Don't forget, you're using the identity of the young
lady. If Mr. Lindberg finds out you've been up to no good, wait and see how the lady punishes you!"
"Is that so? Guess you'll have to keep my secret then. Allison spoke, her voice gentle, but the look in her eyes was cold.
Margo was stunned that Allison dared to talk back to her.
Allison laughed and said, "You know I'm borrowing the young lady's identity. If someone finds out, the young lady's reputation will be damaged."
"You..." Margo was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't deny that Allison was right.
In the end, she could only huff and instruct her, "Carter invited you to their house for dinner, get ready."
Allison's breath hitched.
She had to face that man again so soon? But she wasn't ready yet!
"What are you waiting for? Go!" Margo threw a set of Penelope's clothes at her.
After Allison left, Margo went to the small garden and told Leah about her discovery. "Madam, Allison went out with a man last night and didn't come back all night. I just scolded her a bit, but she dared to threaten me with the young lady's reputation."
"Oh?" Leah furrowed her brows.
She didn't like Allison, but Allison always seemed so docile and not the type to do such things.
Margo went on to embellish the story, "It's true, I saw love bites all over her. Who knows what type of man she was with?"
Leah Flanagan-Eaden huffed, "A maid's daughter is always lowly!"
Just like her shameless mother!
Otherwise, how could Christopher be fooled by that woman?
Twenty-three years ago, Grace shamelessly tried to latch onto Christopher; thankfully, she found out early.
She glanced at Margo, "Tell the hospital not to give Grace the good medicine, as long as she's alive. It's a waste to use expensive medication every day"
"I understand, but what about the master?"
"Just be careful not to let him find out." Leah didn't care about this. Even if he found out, so what?
She was just an ordinary maid.
This time, the Lindberg family's invitation was very formal. It was Penelope's first time visiting a family like the Lindbergs. Even though Leah Flanagan-Eaden didn't want Allison to replace Penelope, she didn't dare be careless. The clothes prepared for Allison fit perfectly but were totally Penelope's style.
Allison put on heavy makeup again, covering the love bite on her neck with a thick concealer, and then she wore the agate necklace Daisy gave her for her birthday.
The necklace had a warm luster, and it felt cool when she wore it. The string was a bit long, so after she put it on, it went directly into the top of her dress.
Before leaving. Allison took a deep breath.
She had to face him, even if he despised her
