Chapter 583


    Allison rose to her feet. Her voice was tinged with incredulity. “So, you know the girl in the photo is


    Penelope. Why the hell are you still covering for her? It doesn’t affect me? If I release this video, it’s


    game over for Penelope. She won’t have aeback. No way to y the darling future Mrs. Lindberg,


    right? So isn’t everything you’re doing just for Penelope?”


    Lucian’s gaze narrowed as he watched her lose herposure. He called out firmly, “Allison!”


    She whipped out her phone and yed the video. The explicit, unfiltered scene of Penelope entangled


    with several men filled the screen, apanied by her moans.


    Lucian’s eyes narrowed further, and his hands turned into fists. “Allison, enough!”


    She stepped back, and let out a hollowugh. “So, you acknowledge this woman is Penelope. This


    scandalous woman is Penelope, but you’re still going to help her? Afraid I’ll post it online and ruin her


    reputation? Is that why you promised me a whole day, and took me out to have fun? In this way, you


    could convince me to cancel the press conference, to squash the video release?”


    Lucian understood that she was deeply mistaken about him, but he couldn’t exin the truth to Allison


    right now. His feelings for Penelope had long since turned cold; she had deceived him for too long and


    even framed Allison, causing him to misunderstand her.


    But Penelope... She had once saved his life. And his mother’s.


    His mother, Miranda, had been suffering from a chronic illness these past few days. If she saw the


    video, it might worsen her condition. Moreover, with an engagement binding him to Penelope, any


    damage to her reputation would also harm the Lindberg Corporation. If that happened, George might


    seize the opportunity, and the struggle for control of the corporation would be thrown into turmoil.


    He owed Penelope for saving him and his mother. That debt would be repaid. After that, he’d find a


    way to break off the engagement.


    The only woman he wanted to marry was Allison, the woman standing before him.


    “Allison, I’ll exin everything to youter,” Lucian reassured her. “I know you don’t understand right


    now, but I hope you can trust me.” He had already managed to quell the online gossip; nobody was


    talking about Allison anymore. In half a year, theizens would likely forget it, and with good work,


    Allison’s reputation would recover.


    After a long moment of silence, Allison said, “I need to use the restroom.” After saying that, she turned

    and made her way to thedies’ room.


    Inside the restaurant, Lucian clenched his fists. Without a perfect n, he could only hope to


    temporarily cate Allison. Once he broke off the engagement with Penelope, he could vow to give


    Allison the grandest, mostvish wedding.


    ...


    She had endured days of public scrutiny and countless insults, but even though she had the evidence


    to prove her innocence, she was now expected to discard it. They all protected Penelope, even


    knowing her promiscuous ways. Updated at Drаmanovels


    The suffocating sensation crept over her. And yet, Allison didn’t lift her head.
