The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 211

Penelope put on a show of being wronged, saying, "Allison, you've totally got me wrong. It was Nathalie who asked all those questions. She was the one who suggested the game." She didn't dare offend Allison openly. Ever since Leah Flanagan-Eaden's medication swap was discovered by Allison, Allison had become a loose cannon.

The old Allison would never dare talk to Penelope like this.

Penelope decided to play weak first, then slowly find Allison's weak spots.

"Allison, we grew up together. Sure, we've had our share of fights, but remember when I gave you twenty grand to help Grace Zimmer-Kane? You needed the money; I wanted to marry Lucian. It was a win-win, right? If you have a thing for Jason, I don't mind; we're not at odds." Seeing Allison leaning against the railing in silence, she continued to soothe, "Once I'm married to Lucian, I'll help you reunite with your mom; how about that?"

Allison slowly lifted her eyes.

Penelope went on, "Your mom is now on the best medication. She's doing well; she's awake."

Penelope knew Grace was Allison's Achilles heel. Seeing Allison's emotions waver, she immediately continued, "Allison, as long as I marry into the Lindbergh family, your mother will be safe. Once I become Lucian's wife, I'll give you and Grace a chunk of change to get you two out of here. How about that?"

Allison looked at Penelope. She didn't trust her, but she didn't want to piss her off either. She and Adrian would find a way to save her mother. Allison leaned against the railing. The sea breeze on her hot face was soothing. She closed her eyes and said nothing.

Seeing Allison silent, Penelope called out, "Hey!"
