Chapter 406
The first possibility was an internal dispute within the Lindberg family. The second possibility was that
Penelope herself didn’t want a child. Zachary could tell that Carter and Lucian had also realized this, as
the three of them exchanged silent glances.
Carter asked, “How is Penelope doing now?”
Lucian replied, “She hasn’t woken up yet.”
Carter said, “When she wakes up, we must thank her properly.”
It was late at night, and Carter needed rest, so Zachary and Lucian left the study. On the way, Zachary
glanced at Lucian and asked, “Lucian, what are you thinking?”
Lucian slowly clenched his fists and said, “Dad, I don’t intend to marry Penelope.”
Zachary asked, “Is it because of that woman named Allison?”
Lucian didn’t answer that question and instead said, “Dad, it’s late at night. You should go back and
rest.”
Zachary said, “The public opinion is not in your favor right now.” He looked at Lucian’s back and
continued, “Although these opinions won’t have a significant impact on the Lindberg Corporation, they
will affect you. Lindberg Corporation has been running well under your leadership. The pressure from
public opinion is not friendly to you.”
The Lindberg family was filled with complex emotions and conflicting interests, and people were paying
attention everywhere. Lucian was well aware of that.
“Dad, I understand.” Lucian said.
Zachary nodded in agreement, “That’s good, Lucian. Even if you like that woman, you should marry
Penelope first.”
The man’s fingers tightened, and his voice became tense, “I will.”
Zachary’s gaze became sharp, “Do you think this accident is related to the Flanagan family?”
It was evident that Penelope was the biggest victim of this accident, but she was also the biggest
beneficiary.
Having been in the business world for many years, Zachary could discern that. He had never really
paid attention to the Flanagan family before. The Lindberg family was powerful and considered the
largest family in Northfield, while the Flanagan family was just a small household. He was surprised
when his son said he wanted to marry Penelope.
Lucian said, “Under this pressure, if I don’t marry her, Lindberg Corporation might temporarily turn
away from me. George is cunning, and he would be the beneficiary. But if I marry her, the beneficiary
would be the Flanagan family.” The man’s voice paused, and his gaze became dark, “I’m more inclined
to think it was the Flanagan family’s doing.”
Zachary furrowed his brows, “But why would they do that? What does the Flanagan family gain from
losing the child?”
“Dad, you’re right to ask. Why would she do this?” The man said, “Perhaps, the child she’s carrying
isn’t mine.”
Zachary was shocked, “What are you saying? Lucian, didn’t you say she saved you?”
“She did save me, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the child she’s carrying is mine. I’ve had doubts
about it all along and I’ve been waiting for the DNA test after she gives birth. Unexpectedly, something
like this happened. I carefully reviewed the surveillance footage before the incident, and the position
where the chandelier fell happened to be where mother was passing by.” Lucian said.
Lucian pursed his lips slightly, “Dad, how is that possible? How did the person behind this accurately
determine mother’s position? There was no room for error. If mother had avoided the chandelier when NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
she turned back, would this accident have happened? But what
I saw…”
The man’s voice paused for a moment, “What I saw was that when she turned back, Penelope was
holding mother’s hand. Because Penelope is pregnant, other usually accommodates her.”
Zachary asked, Have you told Grandfather about your findings?”
Lucian shook his head, “No.”
Zachary nodded, “Hmm, don’t say anything for now. Announce your wedding with Penelope at the
shareholders’ meeting on Saturday to suppress those opposing voices.”
“Okay.” Lucian only responded softly. He left the Lindberg family, got into his car, and didn’t spend the
night there. Instead, he drove straight back to Magnolia Gardens.
Back home.
Lucky ran over, and the man bent down to take out dog food from the storage room. After Lucky
finished eating, it ran around with a futball. It ran to Lucian’s side, and when the man reached out to
throw the ball, he suddenly stopped. Lucian realized that he had started missing her.
