The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 424

Grace said to Allison, "I was wondering why you've been coming home so early lately, and it turns out you've changed jobs. That gig at Red Jack Club was a real grind, with you working the graveyard shift and all. Heading into acting, now that's a smart move. Just take it easy, don't rush it. You're a pretty thing. With some hard work, you'll surely make a name for yourself."

Allison, arm in arm with Grace, rested her head on Grace's shoulder, "Mom, once I start earning, I'll get us a bigger place. We'll get regular health check-ups and I'll buy you the best medicine. You'll be as fit as a fiddle. I hope you could always be with me."

"Silly girl, I can't always be with you. I need my alone time too."

Cathy's film-making style was deeply artistic and her shots were visually stunning without being vapid. She had a knack for nailing the rhythm of the storyline. Her coming-of-age films were guaranteed to rake in at least seven to eight hundred million in box office.

No wonder Lucian asked her why she turned down the lead role for a supporting one. A go-getting man like Lucian must be miffed by her refusal.

Allison was actually a big fan of Cathy's films. Just last year, she went to see her film Forward with Daisy.

Grace excused herself to the restroom. Her phone, left on the sofa, rang and the screen lit up.

Allison glanced at the screen and saw that Grace was reading news about Penelope. Her heart sank. Sometimes, she just couldn't comprehend why Grace was so attached to Penelope.

As a child, Grace was always kind to Penelope. Whenever Leah scolded Penelope, Grace would secretly comfort her and would even share her favorite chocolates with her, as if Penelope was Grace's own daughter.

This wasn’t the first time she thought this way. The first time she had this thought, it took her by surprise, but now...

Grace returned and sat down next to Allison.

Allison lowered her head and murmured, "Penelope has woken up."

A look of delight crossed Grace's face, "Really?"
