Chapter 76


    Grace’s words left Allison’s heart in shambles.


    This only hardened her resolve to get Grace outta here ASAP


    Meanwhile, Penelope was pulling out all the stops to win over Lucian.


    Once she got the “fiance”bel, everyone started to kiss her ass. She was loving the envy filled res


    that came her way


    So, she had to be the legit Mrs. Lindberg pronto


    In a luxury brand store at a mall. Penelope’s friend picked up a dress, sucking up to her, “Penelope,


    this dress would look stunning on you. It’s perfect for yourplexion


    and style.”


    Penelope gave it a once–over, thought it was decent, “I take this one. Then she pointed at a few more,


    “And this one, this one, and these two


    The salesdy asked, “Ms. nagan, you’re taking all of them?”


    Penelope felt a bit uneasy inside. She was always on a budget, usually only able to afford one piece,


    but today, in front of her friends, she forced a yes, “Of course”


    She expected a scolding from Christopher when she got home, but who cares, she’s engaged to


    Lucian, soon to be his wife.


    The salesdy immediately started packing with a big grin on her face


    After shopping and getting a hair treatment in the afternoon, Penelope headed to Juniper Ridge


    She also bought a bunch of gifts for Lucian


    Penelope told Holly. “I’ve bought a few items for Mr. Lindberg. Put them in his closet.”


    Holly promptly responded, “Sure thing”


    Just as she started to walk upstairs, Penelope changed her mind, “Never mind, I’ll do it myself


    Holly assured her, “Hell love whatever you picked out.”


    Penelope couldn’t help but smile.


    Men’s closets are typically neater than women’s, Lucian’s suits were arranged by shades, with white


    shirts and ck shirts at opposite ends. Penelope added the clothes she picked out, saw a forest green


    tie of his, and checked the brand.


    A no–name brand mixed with the ties worth thousands? This was just a few hundred bucks worth of


    junk.


    After arranging everything, she nodded in satisfaction


    Lucian would definitely love it.


    Lucian got home that night, nced at his closet, furrowed his brows, immediately called Holly over,


    “Who’s been in my closet today?”

    Holly replied, “It was Ms nagan.”


    Lucian frowned, “What did she want?”


    “Ms. nagan bought you a few clothes.” Holly knew about Lucian’s habits, the housekeepers were


    always careful when cleaning his closet, but there was no reason for her to stop Penelope, his fiancé


    Lucian asked, “Did you see my forest green tie?”


    Holly was taken aback. “No”


    She knew that tie, Mr. Lindberg wore it many times. It was a gift from Ms. nagan


    Just then, Penelope called.


    ‘Lucian, I got you a shirt yesterday, try it on.”


    He didn’t bother with the shirt she bought, he could tell it was a bit too small just by looking at it.


    “Penelope, did you see my forest green tie in the drawer?”


    “Forest green tie?” Penelope remembered, wasn’t that the one she threw away?


    She didn’t quite get his point, but by the way he asked, she dared not answer correctly. “No, what


    happened to the lie?”


    Lucian’s brows furrowed, his eyes colder, ‘You didn’t touch it?”


    Hearing his tone turn cold, Penelope was at a loss. She didn’t understand why his mood would change


    so suddenly.


    Did she say something wrong?


    Penelope was confused, what’s the big deal with the lie?


    It’s just a dirt cheap tie, right?
