Chapter 4
“Why aren’t you wearing a mask!”
Penelope shouted angrily at Allison. She couldn’t stand the sight of her lowly servant having a face similar to hers. She wished she could rip Allison’s face apart!–
Allison clenched her fists tightly, her hands trembling slightly, but in the end, she let go.
She was relieved that the butler didn’t find out about it. Otherwise, both she and her mother would be kicked out of the Flanagan family, and her mother’s illness would become incurable.
“If I see you again, I swear I’ll scratch your face!” Penelope threatened fiercely. It was infuriating that Allison, a servant who didn’t even care about her skin, had a more delicate face than hers, despite her using expensive skincare products every day!
And Allison was also the woman who spent the night with Lucian! This lowly creature was a curse!
Penelope glared at Allison. Her eyes were filled with disgust, like a snake wanting to devour her.
Suddenly, Penelope’s phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, her face immediately softened. As she answered the phone, she walked upstairs, her voice sweet, “Lucian, I’m still awake…”
Only then did Allison breathe a sigh of relief. She quickly fled home. Was Lucian’s call a lifeline indirectly saving her? Otherwise, Penelope would continue ranting at her. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Allison’s phone rang out of the blue. It was her good friend Daisy.
“Allison, why did you take so long to answer your phone? I’ve been calling you several times.”
She took a deep breath and replied softly, “Sorry, didn’t hear it. What’s up?”
“Your birthday is the day after tomorrow! Let’s skip class and have fun. You must have a joyful birthday. It’s only once a year!”
Allison laughed. She had almost forgotten about her birthday due to caring for her mother. It was heartwarming that Daisy remembered.
“Daisy, thank you.”
“No need to thank me, I’ve prepared a gift for you.”
A gift?
Allison was touched. In this world, only her mother and Daisy remembered her birthday.
After chatting with Daisy for a while, she hung up the phone, rummaged through her bag, and found an agate necklace. She paused.
The necklace was flawless, with a cloud carving on the agate. It was understated yet luxurious.
When did Daisy slip it in? She didn’t notice at all. Allison hesitated for a moment, then texted Daisy. [I found the gift. I love it. Thank you, Daisy.]
After putting down her phone, Allison hung the necklace around her neck. She didn’t know much about jewelry, but the agate on the necklace was clean and had no impurities.
It must have been expensive..
After thinking for a while, she tucked the necklace into her clothes, feeling much safer. The agate had a warm and smooth touch. She loved it.
The next day, after the morning classes at Willowbrook College, Allison rushed out of school.
The Lindbergs were coming for lunch, and Margo had warned her in a weird tone not to be late, or she and her mother would be kicked out of the Flanagan family.
As soon as she stepped out of the school gate, a red sports car screeched to a halt next to her.
