Chapter 530

Penelope just wouldn’t open the door.

Leah grumbled at Christopher, “All this is because of that girl Allison you adore so much. If it weren’t for her, our

daughter wouldn’t be hurt so much by public opinion.”

Christopher frowned, not refuting Leah’s accusation. He was worried about the already declining stock price of the

Flanagan Corporation and, as a father, he couldn’t bear the online attacks on his daughter.

“Penelope, please come out. Whatever it is, we can talk it out as a family. Don’t mind the words online. The doctor

said you need rest. Penelope, your mom and I are really worried about you!”

The trending topics of the past few days had been bombarding Penelope, deepening her jealousy of Allison. She

really wanted to kill that bitch Allison! After about ten minutes or so, Penelope, with her red eyes, opened the door

and threw herself into Leah’s arms. “Mom…” She couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Leah quickly held her daughter.

In the study, the three of them sat on the couch. Leah complained, “The Flanagan Corporation, the stocks… You’re

so obsessed with these. Do you even care about Penelope and me? If that’s the case, why don’t you just live with

the company! I’ll take Penelope and we’ll live on our own!”

Christopher retorted, “What are you talking about?”

Leah was just venting. She couldn’t really leave Christopher.

If she divorced Christopher now, she would only get a small share of the stocks. And she was certain that the

moment they divorced, Christopher would find a younger, more beautiful wife. He might even secretly see Grace.

“Leah, I’m worried about our daughter too. Penelope, I think the most prudent thing to do now is to post an apology

on Twitter. This whole thing started because you lashed out at a marketing account and it went viral. You need to

remember that you are the future daughter-in-law of the Lindberg family. Your actions represent both the Lindberg

and the Flanagan families.”

Penelope sobbed, “Dad, what should I do now?” Spoiled from an early age by the Flanagan family and deeply loved

by Leah, Penelope had never experienced hardship. The pressure of the negative publicity terrified her. But, at the

same time, her jealousy of Allison was growing.

Christopher’s company had a professional PR team. Seeing his daughter upset, he immediately arranged for his PR

team to intervene. He advised Penelope, “You should post on Twitter right now. Be polite, and apologize to Allison.

Say you didn’t mean it. The internet will forget about this in a few days. After three months, when you’re back in

the entertainment industry, no one will remember this.”

Penelope looked up, gritting her teeth. Apologizing to Allison was out of the question. If she was capable of

apologizing, things wouldn’t escalate to this point.

But Penelope was wavering. The online criticism was too harsh. She was afraid her past mistakes would be

exposed.

“I didn’t say anything wrong. Dad, it was Allison who provoked me first!”

Christopher was exasperated with his daughter. He had seen the whole incident and knew it had nothing to do with

Allison. It was purely because Penelope was excessively jealous.

But he only had one daughter. Even if she was wrong, he had to protect her.
