The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 96

“Cause Luca got framed, I stepped in to lend him a hand, and he ended up misunderstand me. As she spoke, Penelope seemed a bit bashful, “Guys usually have a soft spot for their first love, you and Mr. Crane might grew up together and he treats you as a sister, but you ain’t blood–related. Besides, Carter spoils you rotten and he thinks the world of Mr. Crane, he’d be over the moon if you two hit it off. Plus, Kamilla, you’re all grown up, don’t you wanna have a deeper relationship with the man you fancy?”

Kamilla hung her head, her eyes sparkling.

“…”

Her heart pounded, “I do hope so.”

Of course, she hoped to have a deeper connection with Aidan.

Kamilla tightened her grip on her own hands, but how could she possibly do such a shameless thing!

Penelope could tell Kamilla was wavering.

Guests and socialites buzzed around the banquet hall in small groups, crystal chandeliers illuminating their fancy outfits, making the scene incredibly lavish.

The sweet smell of champagne wafted through the air, and Alexa was playing the cello on stage.

Penelope seemed to have a grip on the mindset of young girls like Kamilla, “Oh, opportunities like this only knock once, if you don’t seize it, just pretend I didn’t say anything, I’m outta here.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Seeing her about to leave, Kamilla quickly grabbed her, “Wait!”

Her face turned red, “Don’t leave, I… her voice trailed off, “I didn’t say no.”

Penelope took her hand, “Kamilla, I’m gonna be part of the Lindberg family too, I wouldn’t do you dirty. I’m all for helping you out. If you’re in, I’ll go find someone to help you get ready, tonight, you and Mr. Crane…”

Kamilla’s cheeks were burning, she seemed to have made up her mind, she stomped her foot, “Fine!”

Seeing her finally agreed, a smirk crept up Penelope’s face, ‘This Kamilla is so naive, agreeing so easily.”

She moved to a corner of the banquet hall and dialed Pete on her phone.

“Pete, I need a favor.”

On the other end of the line, Pete was playing poker in the lounge.

“What do you need me to do?” He asked, puffing on a cigarette while a woman helped him arrange his cards.

Hearing Penelope’s request, Pete furrowed his brow, gave it some thought, and then agreed, “Fine, I’ll send someone over.

After hanging up, he found a guy, “Go downstairs and find Ms. Flanagan.”

Once he finished giving instructions, he left. Pete dialed his father, David, and told him about Penelope’s plan.

David said, “Send Logan.”

Pete expressed his concerns, “Dad, are we sure this is okay? After all, Kamilla is part of the Lindberg family and Aidan, he…”

David scoffed, “Pete, I’m also Carter’s adopted son, but I only get to be the butler. Taylor is treated like a real son, his child has the right to inherit, but you don’t. Don’t you think that’s unfair? Why is there such an injustice! Why does my son, David’s son, only get to be the butler’s son while that cripple Aidan gets all of Carter’s praise!”

Pete clenched his phone, he wanted what Aidan had too!

Let’s see how Carter would react when he finds out about Aidan and Kamilla’s secret affair!!

Pete got the message, “I see, I’ll handle it!”

After meeting with Penelope, Logan glanced around nervously, only handing her the stuff once he was sure no one was watching, “Ms. Flanagan, Pete said this drug is potent.”

Penelope took out a wad of cash from her pearl purse and handed it to Logan, whispering a few words of caution, “Be discreet, okay?”

“I got it, don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”
