The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 742

But even though Lucian had mistaken her for Allison, he didn't touch her. Instead, he just passed out drunk, which kinda ticked her off.

If Epic Entertainment hadn't pulled the plug on her new show, she wouldn't have resorted to this scheme. She had intended to get rid of the baby.

Her guilt was spotted by Leah.

Leah knew her daughter well.

Seeing Penelope so flustered, Leah sensed there was trouble brewing.

Could it be that the baby Penelope was carrying wasn't Lucian's?

Leah's heart skipped a beat.

Penelope hadn't consulted her about the pregnancy before, and it was a close call even then.

Now...

Christopher and Leah truly believed she was pregnant with Lucian's child. Christopher, in a grand gesture, even gave Penelope a million-dollar credit card to splurge on anything her heart desired, anticipating her becoming the young matriarch of the Lindberg family.

Leah gritted her teeth at the thought, yet her face remained composed. "It's nothing short of a miracle that Penelope conceived this child, especially after her injury last year. She's been taking herbal remedies every day since, such hardship she's endured. Heaven must have taken pity on Penelope, finally granting her this blessing."

Her voice trembled as if she were on the verge of tears.

Miranda quickly offered comfort.

The Lindbergs, reminded of Penelope's miscarriage the year before, recalled how she got injured trying to save Miranda from a falling chandelier, losing her child and needing six months to recuperate.

The Lindbergs indeed felt indebted to Penelope.
