Chapter 422


    Kami looked at the woman standing beside Lucian and tentatively called out, “Allison?”


    Allison shed a gentle smile, her hand still linked with Lucian’s arm. She stood right next to him,


    exuding an air of elegance.


    Her eyes squinted into thin lines, “Ms. Zimmer, what a coincidence.”


    Kami didn’t have any particr feelings towards Allison, but she found it odd. Wasn’t Allison the maid


    of the nagan family? Why was she with her brother all of a sudden? Something felt off.


    “Lucian, it’s my friend’s birthday today. I didn’t expect you to be here. Let’s celebrate together.”


    Ronald chimed in, “Yeah, Luca, let’s grab a bite together.”


    Lucian turned to Allison, seeking her opinion. At this mornent, all eyes in the room were on Allison.


    Everyone was surprised, making wild guesses. After all, Penelope was still in the hospital, yet Lucian


    was dining with a woman who looked so much like Penelope, which was bound to stir up rumors. But


    nobody dared to ask directly.


    Allison responded, “Sure.”


    Kami was currently studying in the Arts department at Northfield College. Ronald was also her


    ssmate,ing from a well-off family, his grandfather being a renowned general.


    Most of the attendees at Ronald’s birthday were his ssmates from wealthy families.


    Strictly speaking, one couldn’t afford the Arts department at Northfield College without financial power.


    It was a major that drained the wallet.


    The waiterbined four tables together. The restaurant was quite popr in Northfield recently, with


    a nice décor and a soothing countryside style. The small hall on the second floor was even more


    elegant, with four rectangr wooden tablesbined, providing ample space, almost filled to the


    brim.


    “It’s my birthday today. Please order whatever you want. A few dishes here are really good, and I’ve


    ordered them already. See if there’s anything else you fancy?”


    The waiter stood by, smiling as he introduced the menu. Allison took the menu, which already had


    several dishes selected. She nced at it. The main courses were pretty much covered, ‘Let’s get


    some more drinks.”


    Lucian’s phone rang, he stood up to take the call.


    Allison looked at the menu, picked another home-style dish, then handed the menu to the person next


    to her.


    “Allison, after dinner, we’re nning to hit the karaoke, are you and Lucaing?” Suddenly, a clear


    male voice rose.


    Allison looked up at Ronald sitting across from her, “No, I’ve got stuff to do. Happy birthday, have fun.”


    Allison had rushed out today, still wearing the costume from the set, a light blue knitted cardigan with a


    white shirt underneath.


    She was dressed in a fresh and gentle style, her smile curved like a crescent moon, her voice soft, and


    her appearance refined with a calm demeanor. Ronald blushed a bit and asked, “What about Luca?”


    “You can ask him when he gets back.” Allison couldn’t make decisions for this man.


    Kami held her utensils, “Allison, how did you meet my brother?”


    “Just a coincidence.”


    Kami didn’t buy it. There was no such thing as coincidence.

    Allison’s phone rang. She nced at it, it was Grace calling. She stood up, took her phone, and left the


    room. After she left, the room filled with chatter.


    “Kami, who is this Allison? She looks a bit like Penelope…”


    “Yeah, howe she’s with Luca?”


    “You’re all asking me. How would I know?” Kami smiled, “Ask my brother when he gets back.”


    “We wouldn’t dare ask Luca. Just one look from him, and I’d be scared out of my wits.”


    Kami, “Now you know how you’ve been bullying me.”


    She rested her chin on her hand, staring at the food in the bowl. She was also curious about how her


    brother ended up with this woman.


    Just a coincidence?
