Chapter 308

Penelope Flanagan was all geared up to officially dive into the entertainment industry. Media companies had already cleared her path. Being known as the Lady of the Lindbergs and carrying the Lindberg family’s baby, folks in the industry warmly welcomed her. However, with less than four months before she gave birth, all plans were on hold until she delivered and got a good rest.

What was really eating her now was the baby in her belly.

Although the baby was super important, it was also a ticking time bomb. If she can’t pull the wool over the eyes of the Lindberg family, the secret will be out the moment she dropped the baby. By then, Lucian won’t let her off the hook In the past six months, Penelope realized what really grinded Lucian’s gears was deceit.

Rubbing her belly, she felt weighed down, even didn’t register Charlie talking to her. Although Charlie was just an agent, she’d got a ton of resources this time since her client was the future Mrs. Lindberg.

This link had shot her status through the roof. She currently had a mobile ad business opportunity “Penelope, we’ve scheduled the ad shooting this afternoon. The contract’s been reviewed, just need your signature.”

Though the mobile ad didn’t pay a heap, for Penelope, it was all about the increased exposure. Her ads would soon be plastered all over the country. This would really crank up her fame.

Penelope nodded, “Got it, you handle it.

“Don’t sweat it, Penelope.”

At night, Penelope went home, headed upstairs to Leah’s study “Mom, what do I do about the baby?”

Leah, practicing her calligraphy, glanced up. Looking at her frazzled daughter, she thought she was really wet behind the ears, “What’s the rush? You’re only six months pregnant. You still have three months”

“Mom, I can’t wait. I can’t actually have the baby”

“Well, it’s not out of the question.” Leah put down her pen.

Penelope came over, “Mom, you know, during my check-ups, Lucian’s people were with me. If it weren’t for Pete covering for me, I would ve been busted.”

Leah lightly tapped Penelope’s forehead, “What are you scared of, Penelope? Just keep calm and carry on as the future Mrs. Lindberg. If you can’t have the baby, then abort it. But now’s not the time”

“Mom, when is the right time? This baby’s like a ticking time bomb.”

“You’re saying, it’s Pete’s baby?” Leah squinted her eyes.

Penelope nodded, not hiding it from her. Now, the critical thing was to fix this issue. Three months will fly by.

Leah knew the Lindberg family’s butler David very well. Although he was just a butler, he was also Carter’s adopted son, but only an adopted son, nothing more.

“Don’t get your knickers in a twist, Penelope.”

How could Penelope not be in a tizzy? Seeing Leah’s calm demeanor, she gritted her teeth and said, “Mom-”

“Sweetie, I’m only looking out for your best interest. You’re all I have left. Your dad only has eyes for Grace. How could he remember me? Leah clenched her fists at the mention of this. Since the big blowout with Christopher Flanagan, he rarely came home. When he did, it’s only to pick up some documents. She once had someone tail Christopher, but ended up getting caught
