But she'd done everything absolutely everything Leah and Penelope asked her to She never intended to spill the beans, but Leah went behind her back and switched her mom's meds, resulting in her mom being in a coma now.
So why was she still putting up with their threats?
Penelope had never seen such a cold look in Allison's eyes, and it kind of freaked her out.
"What are you talking about? Your mom is fine! Allison, you promised me you couldn't let it slip. We paid for your mom's kidney transplant, and you should remember that!" There was a hint of mockery in Allison's eyes "Of course, I remember. I was with the Flanagan family for B years, and I remember every bit of kindness from Ms. Flanagan and Mrs. Flanagan"
Penelope watched Allison laughing, but she felt uneasy inside, scared that the secret might get out.
Allison used to be easy to control. She would do whatever they asked as long as Grace was in their hands. But things seemed to have changed now
Allison's attitude had taken a sudden shift.
"Allison, you promised us to keep this a secret. You've been with the Flanagan farnily for so many years, we naturally treat you well" Penelope wasn't a fool. Even though she bullied Allison, she didn't dare to scold her now. She decided to hold her tongue for now "Allison, let's get changed quickly. I know you probably didn't mean to be here." Allison watched Penelope's attitude and chuckled softly
"I indeed didn't intend to be here. Seeing Penelope looking relieved, she continued slowly, "But the Lindberg family's security is light. How did you get in? Oh, I forgot, Pete must have brought you in." At the mention of Pete's name, Penelope's face immediately changed.
What she and Pete had going on was supposed to be a secret. Pete must have let his guard down around Allison, and she found out!
Penelope knew what type of person Pete was.
Penelope felt guilty, afraid Allison had found out about her and Pete. She snapped, "Pete and I are just good friends. Allison, don't you just want to see your mom? How about I arrange for you to see her tomorrow?"
Seeing Allison's indifferent expression, Penelope gritted her teeth. "As long as you behave and don't let this out, I can arrange for you to see your mom whenever you want." "Really?" Allison raised an eyebrow, "Anytime?"
"Of course." Penelope saw Allison seemed to loosen up and quickly said, "We need to change clothes quickly; it's getting late. After changing. I'll have Pete take you out of here."
Allison didn't want to attend the Lindberg family's dinner. She was mistaken for Penelope by some reporters on the ferry. At this moment, she took off her coat and handed it to Penelope. They swapped clothes. Penelope mimicked Allison's makeup, toned it down a bit, and added some eye drops to make their eyes look identical.
Allison wiped off her makeup, tidied her hair, and quickly straightened it with a flat iron, and they left the villa, one after the other.

Pete was about to leave with Allison, who barely had any makeup on, she looked so innocent. She resembled Penelope, which was why he mistook her for Penelope earlier. But Allison's features were much softer than Penelope's, which made her even more attractive. If Penelope wasn't his girlfriend, he might have liked Allison more.
Suddenly, a voice came over, "Allison, you're here too?"
Allison looked up to see Jason walking towards them.
Pete was a bit surprised When Jason approached, he glanced at Pete, "Do you know Allison?"
Pete was somewhat tongue-tied, unsure of how to explain it, "Me and Allison, we."
Allison spoke softly, "I came here to deliver something to Ms. Flanagan. I Just finished and was about to leave. The Lindberg mansion is so huge that I bumped into Pete, and he offered to walk me out." Pete nodded vigorously. "Yeah, that's it."
Jason told Pete. Go ahead, I'll chat with Allison."
Pele hesitated. He was supposed to walk Allison aut, but now Jason had shown up; what should he do?
But Jason was his friend and couldn't refuse, so he had to leave. As he was leaving, he glanced at Allison, but she completely ignored him.
Jason looked at Allison with a hint of delight, "Allison, could you do me a favor tonight?"
"What favor?"
"Should be a piece of cake for you" Jason said seriously, "Allison, there's a family dinner at the Lindbergs' tonight. Could you accompany me?" Allison's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you for real? Pretend to be your girlfriend?"
Jason nodded
Allison chuckled, "How can you possibly be single? I know you have at least a few girlfriends."
"Allison, are you jealous?" Jason was actually pleased with this, "I've broken up with them
He had been pursuing Allison for a while, but every time, Allison avoided him.
Allison thought Jason was joking, but seeing his serious expression, she asked, "Are you serious?*
"Absolutely!"
Jason thought momentarily. "Allison, are you worried about your boyfriend? Just come to my house for a meal, your boyfriend isn't here. I'll just say that you are my classmate, and we bumped into each other." Allison bit her lip and said softly, "I broke up with Dr. Dylan."
A light seemed to shimmer in Jason's eyes; they broke up?
This was great! He still had a chance.
"Allison, just do me this favor, we're classmates; we should help each other out, right?"
Allison gave him a sidelong glance, she didn't think she needed to help him out.
"If you need a dinner companion, just make a call and plenty of girls would be willing to come. I have some stuff to deal with, so I'm leaving now."
"Allison, don't go!" Jason blocked Allison's way again.
Allison looked a bit helpless, "Jason...."
"Jason was just here, where did he go?" Cora looked around the living room. Aidan, Kamilla, Penelope, and Lucian were all there; only Jason was missing. "Lucian, give Jason a call and see where he is. Dinner is about to start"
Lucian stood up and said, "He's in the garden. I'll go get him."
As Lucian walked into the garden, he saw Jason talking with a girl from afar. As he got closer, he realized the girl looked familiar,
