Chapter 87


    At this point, Carter stood up and said, “After all, this is your own family matter, it’s not our ce to butt


    in Lucian, we should go.”


    Hearing this, Christopher promptly got up to see them out, with Cora helping Carter leave the scene.


    As Lucian walked past Allison, he paused, his gaze falling on Allison’s face as if he wanted to say


    something But in the end, he kept his lips seated and just like that, they left the nagan family


    Once the Lindberg family had left, Penelope couldn’t hide her emotions any longer. She pointed at


    Allison and yelled, “You’re such a little bitch, stealing and then trying to me Margol


    “Shut it!” Christopher said, his face filled with rage. “Don’t bring this up again, I know Allison isn’t like


    that.”


    “Dad Penelope turned around angrily


    Lean quickly tried to calm her down ‘Okay, okay, you’re pregnant, don’t get worked up.” She then


    red at Christopher. “All you do is protect her, if the ring really was lost, how would you exin to the


    Lindberg family?


    Hearing this, Christopher’s face changed. He hesitated for a moment, then said to Allison who had


    been silent all along. “Allison, I know you’ve always been a good kid. Your mum is sick and needs


    money, if you’re having any trouble, remember to tell me.”


    Allison felt a bitter taste in her throat.


    Christopher saying these words clearly meant he didn’t trust her.


    In his eyes, she was someone who would steal for her sick mother.


    If even he thought so, others might think even worse…


    She swallowed down her difort and replied in a low voice, “I understand, Mr. nagan.”


    Meanwhile in the car on the way home.


    Carter suddenly asked the sitting Cora, “What’s your take on Penelope losing her ring?”


    J


    Cora was taken aback, not expecting Carter to bring this up, especially with Lucian not in the car.


    She pondered for a moment, then answered, “I think the maid was framed. Although the ring was found


    in her bag, judging from the reaction of the butler and the maid, I lean towards the butler setting her


    up.”


    She was a bit puzzled, “Dad, why are you suddenly interested in such trivial matters?”


    Carter, who had seen all sorts of people in business over the years, could see through things that she


    could.


    Carter just smiled, not answering her question but instead asked, “Who do you think Margo was acting


    on behalf aof?”


    Cora frowned, seemingly catching on to something, “Dad, do you suspect Penelope?”


    “I never doubt Lucian’s judgement. His choices have their reasons. Although they’re engaged and


    Penelope is carrying our family’s bloodline… as long as her character isn’t bad, asional


    capriciousness doesn’t matter”


    Upon hearing this, Cora finally understood.


    Carter wasn’t pleased with Penelope’s behavior today. With his wisdom and experience, he could see


    through others’ schemes at a nce.


    However…


    Cora sighed gently, “It’s just a youngster’s tantrum, Dad, don’t take it to heart.”


    Carter looked out the window, murmuring. “I’m just worried that Lucian is blinded by love…”


    Perhaps because they were busy with Carter’s birthday celebration, the women of the nagan family


    hadn’t got time to cause trouble for Allison.


    Allison was relieved to have some free time. While Lean’s attention was off her mother, she had to find


    her mother’s whereabouts ASAP


    The cake the bodyguard bought for herst time had a unique vor. After some searching, Allison
