For next week’s family feast, Penelope was supposed to wear this necklace, and she was sweating
bullets about getting caught by others. So, she went to Allison’s former pad, only to find it deserted with
almost all belongings gone.
Just in time, Margo found out about Allison’s current crib
“Ms. Flanagan, Allison’s shacked up at the Blue Mountain Estate now.”
“Blue Mountain Estate?” After a quick Google, Penelope found out it was a mid-range apartment
complex. She couldn’t believe Allison could afford such a place.
Margo chimed in, “Maybe Mr. Brummett’s helping her out. She’s got him wrapped around her finger,
and she’s trying to do the same with Mr. Lindberg. She’s playing Mr. Brummett while stirring up trouble
between you and Mr. Lindberg”

Two minutes later, in the bedroom
With her head bowed, Linda muttered, “Ms. Flanagan, I don’t know squat.”
“In the Flanagan family, you and Allison are thick as thieves. I haven’t even asked yet, and you’re
claiming ignorance? Did you ever hear Allison mention anything about the necklace?”
“The necklace.” Linda mused, “Nope”
“Are you sure? Think hard, Linda.” Seeing Linda’s puzzled face, Penelope handed her a pen and a
stack of paper from her purse, “Really sure you’ve never heard of it?”
“Well, I might have seen on agate necklace when I borrowed her laptop at her place once
“Agate?” Penelope asked anxiously, “What was it like? Give me the deets!”
“Just a basic agate necklace”
Seeing that she couldn’t squeeze any more info, Penelope dismissed Linda. But as Linda was about to
step out, Penelope stopped her, handing her a brand-new Chanel bag from the couch. Linda was taken
aback.
She was a maid and had never experienced such luxury
Penelope chuckled, ‘Linda, you’re a servant of the Flanagan family, consider this bag a gift”
Linda stuttered, waving her hands about, but the greed in her eyes gave her away. “This L
Margo stepped in, “Take it, Linda. It’s a gift from Ms. Flanagan. Just remember to tell the truth if she
asks you anything in the future.”
Linda got the message, clutching the bag, her heart racing. As she held the luxury bag, she couldn’t
help but marvel at its quality. It was her first time owning something so lavish.
“Ms. Flanagan, actually…
Biting her lip, Linda didn’t want to rat out Allison, but money talked and everything else walked. Plus,
she had always been a little green-eyed monster where Allison was concerned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ms. Flanagan, I once saw Allison and Mr. Lindberg on the balcony. The door was closed, and I didn’t
know what they were doing. When Allison came out, her face was flushed, and Mr. Lindberg’s lip was
busted.”
That said it all, and Penelope’s face turned pale.
“When was this?”
“That was two months ago when Lucian and Carter visited the Lindberg family.”
That was water under the bridge.
“Damn it!” Unable to control her rage. Penelope hurled her mug to the floor. Linda jumped back in fear.
Margo told Linda to take a hike, then helped Penelope sit down, “Ms. Flanagan, you gotta keep your
cool. Think about the bun in the oven.”
Mentioning the baby only made Penelope more furious. If the baby was Lucian’s, she would be fine,
but the truth was far from it.
In five months, if Lucian hadn’t agreed to marry her by then and the baby was born not to be his
through a DNA test, she would be out of luck.
‘Margo, you’re gonna accompany me to Blue Mountain Estate tomorrow. III get that necklace back by
hook or by crook.”
