Christopher was staring at Allison, gobsmacked. He turned to Penelope and said, “Penelope, hand
over the necklace.”
Clutching her necklace, Penelope refused, “No way, this is a gift from Lucian! Why should it go to
Allison! Dad, you’ve always favored Allison, ever since we were kids. She’s just a servant’s daughter,
why are you so good to her, paying for her education, giving her a place to live! Is it true what mom
said, that she’s your lovechild with Grace?”
“Slap!” Christopher slapped Penelope’s face
Penelope was stunned Allison frowned slightly, not understanding Christopher’s intentions. Besides,
Christopher actually hit Penelope, how amusing.

Snapping back to reality, Penelope cried in disbelief, “Dad, you hit me. Are you still thinking of Grace? I
hit the nail on the head, didn’t I. The rumors are
true!”
Christopher started to regret hitting his daughter. He sighed heavily, “Penelope, listen to yourself! Give
the necklace back to Allison!”
“No, it’s mine! It’s a gift from Lucian!” She planned to show it off to him this Saturday. This necklace
was their token of love, a token from Lucian. Without it, how would Miranda view her?
Christopher didn’t know how to explain to his daughter, “Penelope, the necklace really belongs to
Allison.*
Penelope didn’t care about any of that. She glared at Christopher, “It’s clearly mine! Dad, even you’re
siding with Allison to bully me! You even hit me!”
“Penelope!” Just then, Leah rushed back from outside. She saw Margo groaning on the floor with her
leg and Linda trembling in fear. She quickly ran upstairs. Penelope finally found someone to lean on
and ran to her.
“Mom, dad and Allison are ganging up on me!” She threw herself into Leahis arms.
Without a second thought, Leah defended her daughter, “Allison, who invited you to the Flanagan
family. You’re not welcome here!”
“I didn’t want to come here, just give me back the necklace. Allison said.
“What necklace? Leah looked at her daughter.
Penelope lifted her face, still marked with a slap, “Mom, it’s a token from Lucian, our token from when
we first got together. Allison stole it and wants to use it to threaten me. She’s trying to seduce Lucian!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvery woman in Northfield wants to marry into the Lindberg family, and Allison is no different. She
barged into our house today to steal it. Dad didn’t help me. He even hit me! Look mom, dad hit me!”
“You’re actually siding with this woman against our own daughter?” Leah was shocked at the sight of
the slap mark on Penelope’s face. She looked at Christopher, “Christopher, have you lost your mind?
This is our daughter!”
Christopher frowned at Leah’s arrival. He knew she’d cause trouble, but he insisted, “Penelope, give
the necklace to Allison, and we’ll put this to an end!”
Leah stepped in front of Penelope, “Christopher, you still have feelings for that woman Grace, don’t
you? You’re protecting her daughter, even hitting our own. Do you remember how difficult Penelope’s
birth was, it was a miracle we had her. You’re really breaking my heart.”
“Leah, you’ve got it all wrong” Christopher didn’t know what to say.
The necklace was a family heirloom from his mother, which he gave to Grace while they were together.
They were close to getting married back then. He gave the necklace to Grace the first time they slept
together, saying it was for their future child.
But how could he let Leah know about this? If she found out, wouldn’t she make a scene?
