The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 575

Margo stopped her and wanted her to clean the floor.

She was mopping the floor with a mop. Upstairs, the unmistakable sounds of Tanner and Penelope

making out, filtered down. Penelope, the bold one since childhood, would bring guys home whenever

the adults were out, fearless of getting caught.

Back in high school, Tanner was Penelope’s boyfriend.

“The Ramsels always looked down their noses at the Flanagans for not having enough clout. They also

had conflicts with Leah before. Now, Leah can’t very well go crawling back to Mrs. Ramsel.”

“So that’s the scoop,” Emma murmured. Her voice was tinged with disbelief. “Penelope looks so

innocent, but she’s really quite the…” She suddenly stopped, because the next word was too vulgar to

voice. “But she isn’t worried about getting caught by Mr. and Mrs. Flanagan?”

“She’s always been careful. In high school, I walked in on her bringing Tanner and her bestie home a

couple of times. Her friend was her alibi. While they were upstairs, no servant – not even the

Flanagan’s maid Margo – could go up. I just happened to stumble upon them once.”

“I don’t get what Mr. Lindberg sees in her. He even has her as his fiancée,” Emma said under her

breath, with a hint of scorn in her voice.

Allison, who had been eating her pasta, paused. There was a wry smile playing on her lips.

“Because…” She started but seemed to rethink her words, shaking her head with a resigned chuckle.

“Emma, find me a hacker tomorrow. Someone who can cover their tracks. I need the rest of those

unblurred photos sent to Penelope’s email.”

“Got it.”

At 11 PM, Patty lay in bed, restless. She had spoken to Emma on the phone earlier, but something felt

off. There was a vague sense of unease she couldn’t quite pinpoint.

Sitting up, she grabbed her cell and dialed Paige. “Paige, when you called earlier, was anyone around

you?”

Paige, half-asleep from being roused by the call, took a moment to recollect. She had been in the

restroom at that time, unsure if anyone else had been in the next stall. She just wanted to report quickly

to Patty for some praise. Now, wide awake from Patty’s question, she didn’t want to disappoint. “No,

there was no one. I was in the restroom, all by myself,” she said, eager to reassure.

Patty exhaled in relief. “Good.” Paige did the same on her end.

“Keep an eye on Allison,” Patty instructed. “Report anything out of the ordinary.”

After hanging up, Patty felt she might be overthinking things.

Allison was not someone to cross lightly; she had Lucian backing her. Even though Allison was just his

mistress, Lucian treated her well. If she learned that Paige was planted to spy on her, it could create a

rift between them.

However, Patty held little regard for Allison. A woman who climbed the ladder through a sugar daddy

wasn’t worth her respect. No matter how much Lucian fancied Allison, she was just a mistress. Today

he might be smitten, but who could say he wouldn’t discard her the next?

Patty’s desire to control was strong. She wouldn’t tolerate any actress that didn’t follow her lead. She

had to have a firm grip on them.

This time, after Paige’s call, she didn’t rush to intervene with Hudson. Years at Epic Entertainment had

taught her exactly what kind of man Hudson was.
