Chapter 237
How on earth would Leah let Grace go? Without Grace, she couldn’t control Allison. Allison was already so defiant, and without Grace, things would only
get worse.
The truth about the hotel was like a licking time bomb. Before Penelope became Lucian’s wife, this secret needed to be kept under wraps.
When Christopher got the news of his daughter’s coma, he dropped everything and rushed over.
Upon arriving at the hospital, he saw Leah. Leah pointed at Allison and said to Christopher, “Christopher, this is the precious child you’ve always spoiled. If it wasn’t for her, our Penelope wouldn’t be in a coma. If anything happens to Penelope, Allison, you’ll pay with your life!”
Christopher looked at Allison and asked, “Allie, is what she’s saying true? Did you push Penelope?”
Ever since Allison found out the truth about her father and Ricky’s death, Christopher’s gentle face seemed torn in front of her. Wasn’t Christopher’s multiple assistances due to his quilt over the past?
She had thought about telling Christopher that her mother was now under Leah’s control. She wanted to ask Christopher to help save her mother. But now, Allison understood that Penelope, Leah, and Christopher were family, and they’d stick together no matter what
They would intentionally downplay all the bad stuff.
If she told Christopher that Leah had her mother under house arrest, and that she was being threatened and controlled by Leah, Christopher would still play the role of mediator.
Leah was his wife. If Leah cried, he’d comfort Leah. It was just ridiculous.
“Yes, it was me.” Allison scoffed, “I just hope that you three, can pay for what you’ve done!”
Christopher’s face changed, and he chided, “Allie, how could you talk like that!”
“Mr. Flanagan, you don’t have to pretend to care about me anymore, I’ve seen through the true colors of the Flanagan family!”
Christopher pointed at Allison and said, “Allie, you disappoint me!”
“Disappointed? Mr. Flanagan, did you think you could keep the cause of my father and Ricky’s death secret forever?”
Christopher was stunned. Allison knew? Leah was also surprised. Allison actually knew about the cause of her father and Ricky’s death. She said to Allison, “Allison, it was just an accident, and you can’t blame this on Christopher. It was just bad luck for your father and Ricky”
That’s enough, Leah Christopher’s face changed when he mentioned the past.
“Accident?” Allison tasted the bloody taste on her tongue and stared at Christopher, “Mr. Flanagan, dare you say it was really an accident?”
