Chapter 84

Penelope attempted to speak but was interrupted by Christopher "We'll discuss this later. Now, let's enjoy the meal"

She was a bit miffed, biting her lip, but for the sake of keeping her cool, she swallowed her resentment.

She looked up and saw Lucian looking elsewhere. His gaze was on Allison, who was walking out of the kitchen, seemingly making her exit through the back door. She felt a pang of frustration and clenched her fists tightly

Allison...

Even in her plain clothes and a mask covering half her face, she still managed to catch Lucian's attention.

She decided she wasn't going to let Allison off that easily!

Penelope gave Margo a silent nod

Noticing her cue, Margo nodded back and quickly headed towards the kitchen.....

Meanwhile, Allison had just finished the tasks Margo assigned to her. She planned to leave while the Lindbergs were eating to avoid another encounter with Lucian. But as soon as she got home, she heard Linda's urgent voice. "Allison, come quickly."

"What's going on?" asked Allison

"Margo wants us in the living room right away," Linda said.

Allison felt confused. In the living room? Wouldn't that mean facing the Lindbergs? Penelope wouldn't allow that, and why would Margo do this without instructions? Without much thought, she immediately followed Linda.

In the living room, everyone had finished their meal and was sitting on the couch. The atmosphere was a bit odd.

Penelope, with reddened eyes and a face full of anxiety and sorrow, asked, "I still had the ring this morning. How could it be gone all of a sudden?" She looked at Lucian, her eyes flickering. "Lucian, I'm sorry... Lucian squinted his eyes slightly but said nothing.

Cora quickly comforted, "You're pregnant now, don't get too worked up."

She gently patted Penelope's hand, "If you still had it this morning, it might be somewhere around the house. Let's see who was in charge of cleaning the room and if they found it."

Lean glared at Margo, "Who was in charge of cleaning Ms. Flanagan's room this morning?"

Margo replied, "Madam, I've already called the person who cleaned Ms. Flanagan's room this morning."

Christopher looked at Lean a bit displeased. This was a family matter, why make it so public? Especially with Carter present, it was like making a spectacle of themselves.

When Allison arrived, besides her and Linda, Wendy, who was responsible for cleaning the upstairs bedrooms, was also there

She heard Wendy's anxious voice, "I really didn't see it. I even checked carefully when I took out the trash this morning I didn't leave anything behind... Wait, Allison! Allison was the one who cleaned Ms. Flanagan's room this morning!"

Allison paused as Wendy's words drew everyone's gaze to her.

She looked up, her eyes meeting Lucian's. A few seconds later, his gaze slowly drifted away, as if their previous encounter on the balcony never happened.

Even the most naive Allison realized she was in trouble.

Margo walked up to her, her face stern, "Allison, the miss's engagement ring is missing. Did you take it?"

Take?

Allison frowned. Wasn't this indirectly accusing her of stealing the ring?

That ring was what Lucian gave her when they got engaged. The Lindbergs had it custom made for the engagement, very expensive Penelope had always treasured it. How could it suddenly be gone? Despite being puzzled, Allison calmly responded, "When I went to tidy up the bedroom, it was already cleaned. I didn't see the ring"

Margo's voice grew louder, "The only ones who went to the bedroom were you and Wendy. Now, the ring is missing. One of you two is definitely lying!"
