Chapter 268

He sighed deeply and said, “Leah, I’ll explain this to you later, but this necklace is indeed Allison’s. Let Penelope give it back to her.”

Penelope was adamant. “Mom, this is my keepsake from Lucian. It’s the engagement token he gave me when we were together. How could Allison have dad siding with her like this?”

Naturally, Leah backed her daughter, “Christopher, what’s your deal?” She pointed at him, “Are you dead set on helping Allison today? As long as I’m here, this necklace belongs to Penelope and no one can take it away! Christopher, if you dare, divorce me!”

Faced with such a threat, Christopher’s expression turned serious. He looked at Leah and asked, “Are you serious?”

Leah wasn’t really serious. It was just a spur–of–the–moment thing. If they really divorced, wouldn’t that cheap woman Grace benefit?

At this moment, she looked at Christopher, her eyes suddenly reddened, “How could you speak to me like this? If I nod, would you divorce me immediately? Have you been wanting to do this? Do you want to divorce me and then bring Grace back?”

“Leah, didn’t you bring this up?” Christopher felt somewhat drained. He couldn’t stand Leah and Penelope’s tantrums anymore. He wished for a peaceful family life. Leah’s past tantrums were tolerable. But today, after seeing this necklace, old memories suddenly resurfaced, making him feel uncomfortable.

After watching this drama unfold for a while, Allison chuckled and clapped her hands, “Done with your drama? You guys are quite entertaining, talking about divorce over a necklace.”

“Allison?” Leah seemed to only notice Allison then, pointing at her. All her rage seemed to have found an outlet, You’d better listen to me, and stay away from me, or else…”

“Or else what? Threaten me with my mother?” Allison’s expression was cold, but she wore a smile. She walked up to Leah, “Leah, are you saying, if I don’t obey, you’ll stop supplying medication to my mother and let her die in the madhouse?”

She crossed her arms and sneered.

Christopher looked at Allison, taken aback, “What did you say? Stop the medication? Madhouse?”

Leah’s face changed. She seemed to snap back to reality and hurriedly blocked Christopher, “Christopher, don’t listen to this bitch’s nonsense!”

Christopher looked at Leah with a serious expression. He pushed Leah aside and looked at Allison, “Tell me clearly, what happened to your mother?”

Hadn’t Grace undergone surgery?

He’d been wanting to talk to Grace but couldn’t find her, and his assistant couldn’t locate her either. He thought Grace was hidden by Allison.

“Christopher, what’s this act you’re putting on? Trying to look like you care about my mother? In your heart, you probably wish both she and I could disappear. Then the fact that my father died for you wouldn’t be revealed, right?” Allison said.

“Allison, I’ve always felt guilty about that incident. I’ve always wanted to find your mother to have a proper talk, but I’ve never been able to. It’s not what you think. I really feel sorry for your family”

Christopher’s expression was sincere. He really felt sorry for Grace, for the Zimmer family.

Allison frowned slightly, not understanding what Christopher was doing in front of her.

She glanced at Leah and said to Christopher, “You should ask your wife and daughter where my mother is. Your whole family is cunning. Because of you, my father and brother Ricky died in a car accident. Because of Leah and Penelope, my mother suffers every day.”

Christopher looked at Leah with cold eyes, ‘Leah, where’s Grace?”
