The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 564

Allison’s lips quivered. “What, you don’t believe me?”

Grace, lost in a daze, replied, “How could it be Penelope? Allie, Mom knows this has taken a toll on you, and I know you’re hurt and tired, but you can’t just say that it was Penelope?”

Allison suddenly burst into a fit of laughter. The more she laughed, the more it hurt.

This was Grace, her mother!

She had given everything to her mother, but now, Grace looked at her in disbelief. That accusing gaze seemed to mean she had lied. It truly stung Allison’s eyes.

A sharp pain hit Allison right in the chest. Gradually, the pain turned numb. She was laughing so hard, and the tears were on the brink.

Lucian didn’t believe her, and there stood her mother, uttering apologies, yet not believing her daughter. In their eyes, Penelope was the delicate princess, but she was just the dirt beneath their feet. She deserved to be scorned, to be trampled on.

For the first time, Allison realized Grace, too, was capable of such deceit. Her mouth was full of apologies and love, but the moment she heard the woman in the picture was Penelope, she started to deny it outright.

Grace’s face was a canvas of complex emotions. “How could it be Penelope? She’s not short on cash. Allie, Mom knows you’re suffering and you’ve sacrificed so much for my illness, but what does that have to do with Penelope?”

Allison asked softly, “You don’t believe me?”

Grace was silent for several seconds.

Allison chuckled, “Because in your heart, you think the woman in the photo was me.”

“I... That’s not it, Allie. I know you and Penelope look alike, but Penelope has no reason to... She doesn’t lack money, so there’s no need for her to hang out with a bunch of tattooed thugs. It’s not that Mom doesn’t believe you.”
