Chapter 92


    The next moment, Dr. Dn seemed to sense something. He quietly stood in front of her, blocking


    Lucian’s view.


    He grinned, “Allison and I are here on behalf of my parents to celebrate Carter’s birthday.”


    “Oh? Allison, is that you? I almost didn’t recognize you,” Penelope suddenly said, surprised.


    When faced with the puzzled looks around her, she casually exined, “Sorry, my bad. It’s just that I


    can’t believe that our housemaid could be Dr. Dn’s girlfriend.”


    Her voice was just right, loud enough for everyone who was paying attention to hear clearly.


    News that the nagan family’s maid was attending the birthday party spread quickly, and Allison took


    a deep breath.


    She knew Penelope would never miss a chance to shame her.


    She lowered her head and calmly addressed her as “Ms. nagan.”


    Cora, who hadn’t left yet, suddenly remembered that Allison was the nagan family’s falsely used


    maid. No wonder she seemed familiar.


    She looked at Allison, then at Penelope, her eyes full of scrutiny.


    “Dr. Dn is a valued guest of the Lindberg family,” Cora said, “So naturally, Dr. Dn’s girlfriend is


    too.“..


    Cora’s words were a p in the face for Penelope. Penelope’s face instantly turned pale, and she


    pursed her lips in resentment, her fingers tightly clenched.


    Allison didn’t expect Cora to speak up for her. However… girlfriend? The word seemed harder and


    harder to exin.


    Especially when the man’s cold gaze fell on her, making her ufortable.


    She whispered to Dr. Dn, “I’m a bit hungry. I want to get something to eat.”


    “Sure, I’ll go with you.”


    Just as Dr. Dn was about to take Allison to the buffet area, Lucian stopped him. “Hang on.”


    Allison tensed, the sound of the man’s approaching footsteps echoing in her ears.


    Lucian stopped in front of them, looking at her nervous state, he couldn’t help but smile. “Dr. Dn, can


    I have a word with you?”


    “Sure.” Dr. Dn gently patted Allison’s hand. “You go first. I’lle find youter.”


    Allison nodded, feeling the gaze on the back of her hand was so hot it was frightening. She practically


    ran off without lifting her


    head.


    Penelope watched her go, a cold smile ying at the corner of her mouth.

    A lowly maid, daring to show up here? Once she became Lucian’s wife, she would make Allison know


    her ce, in the garbage!


    Penelope’s gaze shifted to Kami, who was holding andscape painting as a gift for Carter.


    Her brow furrowed. Carter loved calligraphy and painting, and most of the people who came to


    celebrate his birthday brought famous works. Simr gifts would inevitably lead toparisons.


    But when she saw Kami’s painting, she realized it wasn’t as valuable as the one she had given.


    Just as she was starting to rx, she saw Carter, with a big smile on his face, gently tousling Kami’s


    hair and praising, “You’re so considerate, grandpa loves it.”


    Penelope watched it all, grinding her teeth in anger.


    The nagan family was not a prestigious one. Christopher’s smallpany only made tens of


    millions a year.


    Their investment this year had failed, and they had spent a lot of resources to find this famous work of


    calligraphy and painting, only to get a single affirmation from Carter.


    Why did Kami get Carter’s affection so easily?


    Filled with resentment, she was about to vent when she saw Kami, who had just been cooing with


    Carter, suddenly raise her head and smirk provocatively at her.


    Though angry, Penelope dared not confront Kami, the Lindberg family’s favorite. She had to swallow


    her dissatisfaction.


    Just then, there was amotion at the entrance of the banquet hall, and someone in the crowd said,


    “The Crane family is here.-


    Everyone’s eyes were glued to the scene.
