Chapter 148

Leah squinted her eyes slightly and said. “That Randal quy Margo introduced you to seemed pretty cool. Theard you guys already met, but nothing’s been set in stone. How about this: go out with him, if it works out, give dating a shot Look at your mom’s condition, getting hitched sooner would be a relief.”

Allison’s hands clenched tightly at her sides. She didn’t expect Leah to be waiting for her here.

With a sarcastic chuckle, she said, “So, this is your game, Leah”

Margo chimed in, “Allison, that’s no way to speak! Mrs. Eden is your elder, and you’re calling her by her first name? She’s trying to set you up with a boyfriend, and you’re not even thankful. Your mom is getting her treatment because of Mrs. Eden’s funding, you’re acting so ungrateful. The Flanagan family really mised an ingratel Living under someone’s roof meant she had to play by their rules, especially when her mom was sick in bed.

She clenched her fists, took a deep breath to calm herself, and said, “Understood, Mrs. Eden.*

Seeing Allison nod, Leah smiled and said, “That’s more like it. Get to know Randal a bit more and tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you to see your mom”

Allison stiffened.

“Thank you, Mrs. Eden” She gritted her teeth and forced out the words.

As Allison left the study and headed downstairs, she ran into Natalie Bruno and a few of her friends coming up. They were here to see Penelope, and upon seeing Allison, Natalie mocked, “Oh look, it’s the Flanagan family’s maid Fetch us some water”

Natalie pushed open Penelope’s door and said, “Penelope, I heard you’re going to Pearl Island with Lucian next week. It’s a new hot spot this year, Lucian sure treats you well”

Penelope, busy packing for their trip, paused to flaunt her barely noticeable baby bump. After all, she was carrying a Lindbergh baby.

With this baby, she was set to be the future lady of the Lindbergh family “As his fiancé, of course he treats me well.” Penelope smirked and said, “I talk to Lucian about sending you guys an invite. We can vacation together.”

Natalie and the others immediately flocked to her.

“Penelope, is that a limited edition bag?”

“I think there were only 800 of those bags made worldwide. Even the rich couldn’t afford it.”

Penelope preened, “Of course”

Natalie and her friends were clearly envious.

Sure, Natalie was well–off, but even she couldn’t afford such an exclusive bag. It represented more than just wealth; it was a mark of prestige.

For top–notch families like the Lindberghs, buying such a limited–edition bag was a piece of cake.

-Natalie, looking at Penelope’s bedroom, could tell the stark difference between the Flanagans and the Brunos financial status.

The Bruno family also ran a publicly traded company, but Penelope was the lucky one, carrying a Lindbergh heir.

Once the baby is born, she will instantly become the Lindbergh’s daughter–in–law.

Natalie was green with envy.

Being the wife of Lindbergh, not to mention the handsome and outstanding Lucian, was enough to make the socialites of Northfield jealous.

Just then, a knock came at the door.

Allison walked in carrying a tray of coffee. She placed the tray on the coffee table with pastries and coffee and said, ‘Enjoy, ladies.”
