Chapter 406


    The first possibility was an internal dispute within the Lindberg family. The second possibility was that


    Penelope herself didn’t want a child. Zachary could tell that Carter and Lucian had also realized this, as


    the three of them exchanged silent nces.


    Carter asked, “How is Penelope doing now?”


    Lucian replied, “She hasn’t woken up yet.”


    Carter said, “When she wakes up, we must thank her properly.”


    It waste at night, and Carter needed rest, so Zachary and Lucian left the study. On the way, Zachary


    nced at Lucian and asked, “Lucian, what are you thinking?”


    Lucian slowly clenched his fists and said, “Dad, I don’t intend to marry Penelope.”


    Zachary asked, “Is it because of that woman named Allison?”


    Lucian didn’t answer that question and instead said, “Dad, it’ste at night. You should go back and


    rest.”


    Zachary said, “The public opinion is not in your favor right now.” He looked at Lucian’s back and


    continued, “Although these opinions won’t have a significant impact on the Lindberg Corporation, they


    will affect you. Lindberg Corporation has been running well under your leadership. The pressure from


    public opinion is not friendly to you.”


    The Lindberg family was filled withplex emotions and conflicting interests, and people were paying


    attention everywhere. Lucian was well aware of that.


    “Dad, I understand.” Lucian said.


    Zachary nodded in agreement, “That’s good, Lucian. Even if you like that woman, you should marry


    Penelope first.”


    The man’s fingers tightened, and his voice became tense, “I will.”


    Zachary’s gaze became sharp, “Do you think this ident is rted to the nagan family?”


    It was evident that Penelope was the biggest victim of this ident, but she was also the biggest


    beneficiary.


    Having been in the business world for many years, Zachary could discern that. He had never really


    paid attention to the nagan family before. The Lindberg family was powerful and considered the


    when his son said he wanted to marry Penelope.

    Lucian said, “Under this pressure, if I don’t marry her, Lindberg Corporation might temporarily turn


    away from me. George is cunning, and he would be the beneficiary. But if I marry her, the beneficiary


    would be the nagan family.” The man’s voice paused, and his gaze became dark, “I’m more inclined


    to think it was the nagan family’s doing.”


    Zachary furrowed his brows, “But why would they do that? What does the nagan family gain from


    losing the child?”


    “Dad, you’re right to ask. Why would she do this?” The man said, “Perhaps, the child she’s carrying


    isn’t mine.”


    Zachary was shocked, “What are you saying? Lucian, didn’t you say she saved you?”


    “She did save me, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the child she’s carrying is mine. I’ve had doubts


    about it all along and I’ve been waiting for the DNA test after she gives birth. Unexpectedly, something


    like this happened. I carefully reviewed the surveince footage before the incident, and the position


    where the chandelier fell happened to be where mother was passing by.” Lucian said.


    Lucian pursed his lips slightly, “Dad, how is that possible? How did the person behind this urately


    determine mother’s position? There was no room for error. If mother had avoided the chandelier when


    she turned back, would this ident have happened? But what


    I saw…”


    The man’s voice paused for a moment, “What I saw was that when she turned back, Penelope was


    holding mother’s hand. Because Penelope is pregnant, other usually amodates her.”


    Zachary asked, Have you told Grandfather about your findings?”


    Lucian shook his head, “No.”


    Zachary nodded, “Hmm, don’t say anything for now. Announce your wedding with Penelope at the


    shareholders’ meeting on Saturday to suppress those opposing voices.”


    “Okay.” Lucian only responded softly. He left the Lindberg family, got into his car, and didn’t spend the


    night there. Instead, he drove straight back to Magnolia Gardens.


    Back home.


    Lucky ran over, and the man bent down to take out dog food from the storage room. After Lucky


    finished eating, it ran around with a futball. It ran to Lucian’s side, and when the man reached out to


    throw the ball, he suddenly stopped. Lucian realized that he had started missing her.
