Chapter 342


    “Moms got a stash of 20 grand, should be enough to keep us afloat. Grace said, pulling a bank card


    from her pocket and handing it to Allison.


    Allison looked at the card. She recognized it. The money on it was supposed to be for her dad and


    brother’s living expenses. Despite Grace being seriously ill and hospitalized, she never thought of


    touching this fund. But why was she bringing it up now?


    Was there something mare pressing than her illness?


    “Mom, what’s going on?” Allison watched Grace’s expression, her radar up, “Did Christopher and Leah


    threaten you? Was it them?”


    Grace shook her head. ‘No, they didn’te to me. I just want to get out of here. Allie. Didn’t you say


    you wanted to leave Northfield with me?”


    “Mom, I have a stable job now, and my monthly ie is enough to support you. Plus, I’m graduating


    next year. If we leave Northfield now, I’ll have to find a new job in a new city and who knows if the pay


    will be as good. I do want to leave, but we need to be realistic.” Allison said.


    That night, Allisony on her bed, mulling over Grace’s odd behavior.


    She sat up. Could it really be that Christopher or Leah had threatened her mother? The nagan


    family was such a pain in the ass! Her mother and she had already backed down so many times! They


    actually had the audacity to force them out of Northfield! Was Leah so afraid of Penelope’s secret


    happened. Then why were they still threatening her mother? And Leah, even threatened Sarah to fire


    her!


    Allison found it all a bitughable. Her staying in Northfield was that big of a threat to Leah and


    Penelope? Was all this fuss really necessary?


    Initially, Allison did want to save enough money to leave this ce with her mother and settle down in a


    quiet, beautiful city for the rest of their lives.


    But now, Allison had changed her mind. She was determined to hold her own in this city and make sure


    Penelope and Leah paid their dues!


    As long as Penelope and Leah stopped bothering her and her mother, she would keep the hotel’s

    secret. But if they hurt her and her mother again, she would fight back!


    Opportunities were indeed in her own hands.


    Unable to sleep, Allison opened her drawer, eyed a business card of Gavin’s. She then picked up her


    phone, searched for his number in WhatsApp, and added him as a contact


    If there was a chance for promotion, she was game.


    The next morning, Allison opened her eyes, took a shower, and tossed her dirty clothes into the


    washing machine. Suddenly, she found a man’s watch in her pocket, the one Lucian had left behind.


    When did he put it in her clothes?


    Allison put the watch away and loaded the washing machine with her dirty clothes. She walked into the


    living room and didn’t see Grace. She then went to the kitchen and found a note Grace had left on the


    dining table. [Allie, I made breakfast for you. Eat when you wake up. I’ve gone out]


    Allison frowned. Lately, Grace seemed to be going out often in the morning.


    She opened the fridge and saw it was packed with food. There were enough fruits and vegetables to


    She picked up her phone and dialed Grace.


    “Allie, are you awake?” Grace asked.


    “Mom, where are you?” Allison said.


    I’m at the Cherry Lane market Grace added from the other end of the line. The vegetables here are


    cheap, and the meat is fresh.”


    At that moment, Grace was standing in front of a skyscraper with a pot of soup. She looked up at the


    towering buildingbeled Epic Entertainment”, amazed by the sight, and walked in.
