The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 14

Allison struggled to shake her head, but her hands and feet were tied up and immobilized, with a thick piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth.

Leah Flanagan-Eaden shockingly forbade any anesthesia, forcing her to bear the unbearable pain of branding.

It was the same location and the same scar. The moment the branding iron burned her skin, a searing pain like a thousand knives shot through her body.

The pain was so intense that she wanted to moan, but with her mouth gagged, all she could do was convulse in agony.

In the end, Allison saw nothing but darkness as the pain knocked her out.

The next morning, in the hospital.

Penelope woke up, took a look at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but scream, "Ah.."

Her reflection showed her body covered in red rashes, including her face, and it was unbearably itchy.

Leah Flanagan-Eaden rushed over to prevent her from scratching her face, "Penelope, these rashes are nothing; just use the medicine every day, and they will disappear soon."

Penelope was on the verge of losing it, "How soon is soon? Can it disappear today? How did I become like this?!"

"You have the nerve to ask!" Christopher scolded with a thunderous face, “The doctor said if you recover well, it would take a week; if not, a couple of weeks. Look at yourself! You’re the one who drank alcohol. You almost made us a laughing stock at the engagement party!”

How could the bride-to-be be absent due to an alcohol allergy from her own engagement party?!

How embarrassing!

Penelope covered her face and only then did she realize the time, "The engagement party! What's the date today? Where is Lucian?"

She began to panic. It wasn't easy for her to get this far.

Leah Flanagan-Eaden tried to soothe her, “You were unconscious, so your father and I decided to let Allison attend the engagement party in your place. After all, Allison looks similar to you; no one would notice with some makeup on.”
