The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 662

It was a video clip that could bring down empires.

Allison knew right away that the grainy footage was from the Flanagan family's private underground garage. A black BMW was shaking violently, clearly harboring some scandalous activity inside. Two people were obviously tangled up in a passionate moment.

Charlie handed her a pair of earbuds.

Allison put them in, straining to hear the hushed voices of a man and a woman. Turning up the volume, their whispers became crystal clear.

The video fast-forwarded a few seconds, and soon a woman emerged from the car, settling herself gracefully into a wheelchair parked beside it. The camera caught her face—it was Penelope. Then it panned to the man—it was Pete.

Charlie pulled the earbuds back, his voice low and serious. "Allison, make me the vice president of Epic Entertainment, and this master copy is yours. Penelope's secret rendezvous with the Lindberg family butler's son—do you think they'd accept her as a daughter-in-law? Would Lucian still marry her?"

This was the ticking time bomb Penelope carried unknowingly.

This was why Charlie hesitated to form any deep partnership. If Penelope's secret meetings with Pete were this easy to catch, it was only a matter of time before someone else did. Once exposed, Penelope would be done for in the Lindberg family's eyes.

And if Allison rose through the ranks on Penelope's recommendation, she might be dragged down too.

After considering her options, it was clear—Allison was the safer bet.

Allison hadn’t expected Charlie to be holding such a powerful "bomb."

"I can help you, but I can’t promise success. Keep that video for now. Whether you become vice president is up to your own efforts."
