Chapter 466
Leah had turned her backpack inside out, but it ended up a bust.
Allison saw Penelope pawn off Leah’s bracelet and then passed the bucks she got to her boyfriend.
Yep, Penelope started dating as early as junior high, with a carousel of boys spinning around her.
Growing up, not a single day in the Flanagan family was a walk in the park for Allison. Her biggest wish
was to escape with her mom, but then her mom fell ill, and her biggest wish turned into getting her
mom back on her feet.
She would give up everything if only her mom’s health could take a turn for the better. To pay for her
mom’s surgery, Allison sold her virginity. To get her mom a new kidney, Allison had to play Penelope’s
stand-in, which ended up in a miscarriage.
However, today, the penny dropped. Turned out Grace wasn’t her real mom. Leah was! And Grace was
the one who had wrecked her life!
How could she get her head around that?
“Patty, do you believe in fate?”
Patty looked at Allison, whose eyes seemed to have lost their spark. She had no idea what Allison had
been through. “Allison, do you know my story? When I first started working, I was a greenhorn. I was
pushed around, bullied, and framed. I never believed in fate from a young age, I only believed that fate
was in my own hands Only I could change my destiny.”
She took Allison’s hand tightly. “Allison, I don’t know what you’ve been through, but I want to tell you,
never throw in the towel, no matter what. If life’s giving you lemons, you have to fight harder, and hold
on to what’s yours. Don’t let those who once looked down on you step on you.”
There seemed to be a glimmer in Allison’s eyes. That glimmer slowly grew, warming and brightening
like the rising sun.
Half an hour later, Lucian arrived at Blue Mountain Estate.
Patty opened the door, seeing Lucian up close for the first time. Her eyes met his icy gaze. She saw his NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
handsome and deep features, but in the next second, Patty looked away. She didn’t dare look at this
man again, her heart racing.
L
This man had a strong aura that made her out of breath. He was as cold as a block of ice.
Lucian didn’t look at her and walked into the living room.
Patty patted her chest and let out a sigh. Lucian was even colder than he was described in the reports,
but also more handsome. His looks were top-notch. If he went into showbiz, he would outshine
everyone instantly.
Even if she just sneaked a peek, she couldn’t forget his facial features. But he seemed too standoffish.
You could say Lucian was a legend in the financial world of Northfield. Getting to meet such a person
up close, Patty felt like she hit the jackpot.
Lucian walked into the living room, and a strong smell of alcohol hit him. He frowned, remembering that
Allison rarely drank, let alone getting plastered like this.
He pursed his lips, walked over to Allison, knelt down on one knee, and gently caressed her face.
“Allison.”
Allison was a bit taken aback; she seemed to hear Lucian’s voice.
