Chapter 280
The Billionaire’s Maid Bride
She planned on blowing up at Grace, but then she realized they were in public. With spectators all around, she clenched her teeth and snapped, âWhatâs it to you!â
The crew was trying to reach a doctor, but there wasnât one immediately available.
Grace knew some first aid for sprains, so she quickly massaged Penelopeâs ankle. Penelope yelped, but then she noticed that her ankle hurt a lot less.
Grace said, âGet some ice for Ms. Flanagan to put on.â
She looked at Penelope with concern, âMs. Flanagan, you okay?â
Penelope had injured her ankle and needed to rest, so she invited Grace to join her in her trailer.
Her parents were still squabbling because of his woman. And if it werenât for Allison, she might still be in a mental institution But Grace was happy to have some alone time with Penelope. She hadnât seen her in a long time, and seeing her made her happy.
âMs. Flanagan, youâre several months pregnant, why are you still shooting? How are you feeling?â She asked repeatedly While lying in the hospital, Grace had thought that if she were to die, sheâd really want to see Penelope one more time.
Now in the trailer, with no one around, Penelope stood up and slapped Grace across the face, Its all your fault, you and Allison. My parents are still fighting because of you. Youâre stirring up my parentsâ
relationship, why donât you just die. Why didnât you dle in that mental hospital? Whats the point of someone like you living? My mom was right, you re shameless, seducing my father. And with a mother like you, itâs no surprise Allison turned out the way she did. She even tried to seduce my fiancé! You and your daughter, living off my family, youâre all traitors!â
âEnough Penelope, cool it. Keep it down. Donât want people outside to hear Her manager hurried over to intervene.
Grace stepped back. Penelopeâs words were hurtful. How could she talk to her like that?
It took her a while to respond, âHow is that possible? Ms. Flanagan, what are you talking about? How could my Allie ever seduce your fiance, thatâs not right.â
Penelope glanced out the window and had Charlie draw the curtains. She looked at Grace, who was still smiling, and scoffed, âWith a mother like you, itâs no wonder your daughter turned out the way she did. Youâre both trash!â
Grace shook her head, âNo, no, Ms. Flanagan. You canât insult Allison like that.â
âWho do you think you are, a servant of the Flanagan family. How dare you talk to me like that. Allison is taking advantage of me being pregnant and not being able to stay with Lucian. She, a lowly servant, trying to seduce Mr. Lindberg. You better keep your daughter in check. Or Iâll make sure both of you disappear from Northfield Penelope said.
âOkay, okay, Penelope. Donât get worked up, youâre pregnant. Charlie immediately tried to soothe Penelope and had her sit down to rest. Penelope felt the pain in her ankle and frowned at Grace, âJust my luck.â
Graceâs face, already pale, turned even more so. Seeing Penelope uncomfortable, she felt a pang in her heart and tried to check on her ankle, but Penelope pushed her away. What are you doing? You could be carrying some virus or bacteria, donât get me sick!â
âMs. Flanagan, I just wanted to check on your sprain. Donât move, you need to ice it.â Grace said.
Charlie looked at Grace, âMaâam, maybe you should leave for now. Donât upset Penelope anymoreâ
Grace, with her head full of gray hair, looked at Penelope. Her eyes were filled with concern and worry.
But all she did was sigh, then she turned and left.
Charlie watched her stooped figure walk away and said to Penelope, âMs. Flanagan, I think she really cares about you.â
Penelope took out a bottle of nail polish from her makeup bag, a shimmering light pink, âReally?â
Charlie looked at Penelopeâs nonchalant demeanor, she found it strange. That woman really did seem to care a lot about Penelope. This didnât seem like Just a normal employeeâemployer relationship.
