The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 7

"Ahh--" Kamilla suddenly let out a yelp.

Allison bit her lip, desperately trying to steady the soup bowl. Most of the hot soup splashed onto her own wrist.

She couldn't help but gasp.

Margo immediately jumped in, yelling at Allison, "Allison! What good are you? What if you burned Miss Kamilla? Can you afford that?!"

Then, Kamilla said, "I'm okay."

She wasn't burned much, just a bit of soup on her clothes. Her scream was more of a reflex. Meanwhile, Allison's injury was obviously more severe, her hand was already turning red.

Seeing that Kamilla wasn't angry, Margo seized the opportunity and said, "Miss, you might not know, but this maid often slacks off and messes things up! Last time she nearly burned Mr. Lindberg!"

"What?" Penelope exclaimed in surprise. Allison actually appeared in front of Lucian behind her back?!

Then, she slapped Allison across the face and scolded, "Allison, we kept you here out of pity, and you repay us like this! If you really hurt Lucian and Kamilla, even your life wouldn't be enough compensation! I think you did this on purpose!"

The room fell silent, no one expected Penelope to act out. Allison could only feel the burning pain on her cheek, but she couldn't fight back.

A tear fell on her reddened hand, burning like fire.

The next second, a figure stepped in front of her, Jason looked at Penelope coldly, "Enough. It was just an accident, Ms. Flanagan, you're overreacting."

"Penelope was just worried about Kamilla, she acted without thinking."

Leah's words brought Penelope back to reality, she nodded repeatedly, "I was too anxious. As long as Kamilla is okay, that's all that matters."

Kamilla scoffed. Was she being used as a pawn? Did this Penelope think she was stupid?
