Chapter 395

The banquet hall was brightly lit. The crystal chandelier sparkled brilliantly

Donning a custom-made silk dress, Miranda was busy chit-chatting with a few society ladies. The auction that was about to begin was all set. This time, the auction dinner was well prepared. Everyone in Northfield’s upper class respected Miranda, so upon her invitation, they all brought high-priced auction items.

Leah, too, brought a painting worth seventy to eighty thousand. The Flanagans weren’t exactly filthy rich. This painting was the best she could offer. After all, the auction proceeds were to be donated, but for the sake of dignity, and given that she was in-laws with the Lindbergs, she couldn’t afford to appear too shabby.

“Mrs. Flanagan, the auction item you brought this time is pretty dope. This painting must not come cheap, huh?”

Leah chuckled, “You are flattering me, Mrs. Santiago. Your wooden carving is the real treasure here.” The carving was actually worth just over forty thousand dollars Mrs Santiago laughed, knowing Leah was showing off her painting and downplaying her carving. She shot back, “I come to Mrs. Lindberg’s charity dinner every year. This is my third year already”

Leah’s face stiffened a bit. She knew Mrs. Santiago was mocking her for only being able to attend such a dinner this year because of her daughter. She bit her lip, “Mrs. Santiago, I hope to chat with you here again next year.”

Once her daughter successfully married into the Lindbergs and the Lindbergs and Flanagans started doing business together, she won’t have to put up with these people anymore

Mrs. Santiago retorted, “Is that so? I hope to see you next year, Mrs. Flanagan.” After saying this, she took her champagne and walked over to Miranda, ‘Mrs. Lindberg”

Miranda turned around with a smile, “Mrs. Santiago, how’s the dinner?”

“Any dinner hosted by Mrs. Lindberg is naturally excellent,” Mrs. Santiago flattered

After exchanging a few words, Miranda glanced at the time. The auction was about to start, so she began arranging the venue with her assistant

Just then, Penelope walked over, heavily pregnant and supporting her back. She quickly glanced at Miranda and prepared to approach her

Her fingers were tightly clenched, and she took a deep breath. She was terrified. After all, she was nearly nine months pregnant. If anything dangerous happened, what would she do? But this was her last chance. She absolutely could not let this child be born.

She had thought about blaming Allison for a miscarriage, but without the baby, she would lose her ticket into the Lindbergs. Even if doing so could make Lucian resent Allison, that was not her ultimate goal. If she wanted to marry Lucian, she had to use this child to secure the biggest gains for herself.

On the second floor not far away, a man in black gave Penelope a glance and signaled to her.

Penelope understood. Biting her lip, she navigated through the crowd to Miranda’s side, “Miranda.”

Upon seeing her, Miranda immediately took her hand, “Take it easy, no rush.”

Penelope and Miranda walked side by side. The gazes of several ladies fell on her belly, “Oh my, Miranda, you’re so lucky. You’re going to be a grandma soon.”

Miranda seemed very pleased too. Although she had always been somewhat dissatisfied with Penelope, she was pregnant after all, so she didn’t probe further. She could see that her son’s attitude towards Penelope seemed…a little off.

Also, the jade pendant on Lucian was not seen on Penelope.
