The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 12

Allison acted as cool as a cucumber, and she didn't even dare lay her eyes on Jason.

At this point, Lucian went up to her, dipped his head slightly and introduced her to his family, "Penelope, this is my aunt, Cora Lindberg-Hamilton."

Allison greeted her in a slightly raspy voice, "Hello, Auntie."

She intentionally lowered her voice. Although she couldn't perfectly imitate Penelope's voice, it could pass in this noisy environment.

Allison had heard of Cora Lindberg-Hamilton from Christopher. She was a tough cookie who knew all the right moves. Her husband, Mr. Brummett, had been under the weather and resting while she single-handedly ran the company with flying colors. She was sharp as a tack.

Allison's careful demeanor made Cora Lindberg-Hamilton think that this 'Penelope' was very polite and obedient.

She nodded approvingly and said, "Mmm, Lucian, since you've popped the question, you better treat Penelope right."

"Got it." Lucian wrapped his arm around 'Penelope's' waist, took a swig of his drink, then said to Allison while looking at Jason, "This is my cousin Jason; you've met before."

Allison felt like her heart leaped into her throat when she heard this name.

She slowly exhaled, one hand holding a wine glass, the other hanging by her side, clenching tightly.

She didn't say a word, which Lucian thought was due to the unpleasant dinner they had last time. He figured Penelope was still holding a grudge, so he didn't make a fuss about it.

Meanwhile, Jason, with a glint in his eye, raised his glass, "Congrats, ... Penelope."

The drawn-out tone made Allison shudder involuntarily, which made her spill her wine all over her dress.

"Sorry!" Her face turned a shade paler; she quickly put down her glass and apologized, "I need to step out for a bit."

Then she bolted back to the dressing room without a second thought.

Lucian frowned slightly and sent a warning look to Jason, but Jason just shrugged innocently, "Lucian, I didn't do anything." But his bride, Penelope, was acting pretty fishy today.
