The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 260

Penelope rocked up to the Blue Mountain Estate the next day.

She parked her car at the entrance, and then followed the address Linda had given her, walking into the estate.

As she stepped out of the elevator, Penelope knocked on the door, but Allison wasn't home. Just at that moment, the door across the hall swung open, and her neighbor gave her a look, asking, "Ms. Zimmer, did you leave your keys at home or something?"

Penelope and Margo jumped, looking like they'd been caught with their pants down. Margo was quick on her feet, rolling her eyes and saying, "Ah, yeah, left my keys at home."

After the neighbor went back inside, Margo turned to Penelope, "Ms. Flanagan, Allison isn't home, and knocking is useless. Calling a locksmith is too obvious. You and Allison look somewhat alike, so you could try getting a spare key from the property management."

Penelope didn't usually like being compared to Allison, but at this moment, she chuckled, "Margo, you're pretty sharp."

Penelope went to the property management, saying she forgot her keys and needed the spare. Sure enough, the staff didn't bat an eyelid and handed her the spare key. With the key in hand, Penelope opened Allison's front door.

She told Margo to wait outside while she stepped in to have a look around. The living room was nicely decorated; it seemed Allison and Jason were indeed close.

She entered the bedroom and started rummaging for a necklace Miranda had mentioned. Even though Allison wasn't into jewelry, because she was tight with Daisy whose family were in the jewelry business, Daisy would often gift her pieces.

She found a few necklaces, but none were the one she was looking for. She was in search of an agate necklace.

She pulled open Allison's bedside drawer, and there it was…

Bingo! Penelope found an agate necklace!

A grin spread across her face as she quickly snatched up the necklace and carefully put everything back as it was, then slipped out of Allison's place.

"Margo, return the key to the property office." Penelope said.
