Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1082

Originally, she had thought that Lauren was no big deal, and on top of that, she was an ex-convict. She had no background and no support, and her reputation was flawed too. As the relationship between them was not that close, with the incident, it was a good opportunity from them to win over the Cook family and the Milton family. Even if it was a meager, a million ants could feast on even an elephant, and perhaps it would be useful in the future.

Coupled with the relationship between the Cook family and the Bowles family, they could no longer have their hopes on getting their children wedded. If they could be on their way and do something for them, the end result would essentially be the same.

It had never occurred to her that Willy would come to them for that and lay it all out in the open. That was equivalent to crushing their reputation to the ground!

In the end, she indeed couldn't reap what she wanted, but even lost herself to it!

It really did push them from a possibly neutral stance straight to side that Frederick actually oppose. In the future, Christian might not even be able to speak a word even if he was to obviously take sides!

What a mistake, a truly devastating one!

At that moment, Penny was really regretful!

If Willy was able to come straight to their door without caring about their pride at all, they might not be able to place their hopes on the Cook family either!

Meanwhile, Hallie had burst into tears, while Penny's headache worsened. "All right, what are you crying for? You're so annoying!"

After giving her a pinch, Penny lowered her voice and glared at her indignantly.

"Didn't I tell you to be more careful? I've told you so many times not to let anyone catch you! Who told you to do these things at home? Everything was ruined by your hands! You really can't do anything right!"

Thinking about it, Penny was still furious.

They had clearly planned it all to a tee. They had been worried about being discovered if things went wrong, so they planned and decided to cooperate with each other. All the calls would be made near the Bowles family mansion or somewhere that Vanessa would be at, and all of those were precautionary steps.

She didn't expect her to be so stupid as to make a call in their own house.

So be it! However, she had even been stupid enough to get caught redhanded, rendering her efforts to stall the people downstairs and shouting at them useless! What an idiot! They had caught the culprit and gotten the evidence, how wonderful of her! Being in possession of the evidence, there was no chance for them to even wiggle out of it!

For a while, Penny was so filled with rage that she felt like she was going to explode. "Don't you know there's a banquet being held in the Bowles family home today? How dare you pick a time like this? Are you out of your mind?"

Indeed, one shouldn't be afraid of a strong opponent, but a useless team player!

She was also very wronged. Hallie sobbed and her voice became louder. "It's not me, it's..."

"That's enough! Why did I give birth to a useless child like you? There's nothing good about you! You'd better just stay here and behave yourself!"

Penny reprimanded her impatiently, then turned around and strode away. If it kept going on like that, Christian would become biased too, and their whole family would be doomed!

Behind her, Hallie bit her lip, and more tears streamed down her cheeks!

Meanwhile, after getting in the car and driving for a while, Lexx said, "Willy, did we cross the line? Should we inform Mr. Clements or at least let Master Frederick and Master Trevor know about this?"

No matter what, blood was thicker than water. Moreover, there were a lot of connections between the families. If it was not handled properly, it would turn out to be a ticking time bomb after!

Willy frowned and he was distracted. He squeezed his brows, looked up and rolled his eyes. "Don't you think that's just unnecessary?"

There was no point in saying that after everything had happened!

"Cough, cough..." Lexx was speechless. He could only turn his gaze back to the front.

"All we're doing is giving them a scare. It doesn't matter if we tell them about it or not. After all, we didn't do much!" As he thought about it, Willy continued.

"I'm just worried that this isn't the end yet!"

"Do you mean... that they might have other plans?" Turning around, Lexx subconsciously narrowed his eyes. "That can't be!"
