“Moms got a stash of 20 grand, should be enough to keep us afloat. Grace said, pulling a bank card
from her pocket and handing it to Allison.
Allison looked at the card. She recognized it. The money on it was supposed to be for her dad and
brother’s living expenses. Despite Grace being seriously ill and hospitalized, she never thought of
touching this fund. But why was she bringing it up now?
Was there something mare pressing than her illness?
“Mom, what’s going on?” Allison watched Grace’s expression, her radar up, “Did Christopher and Leah
threaten you? Was it them?”
Grace shook her head. ‘No, they didn’t come to me. I just want to get out of here. Allie. Didn’t you say
you wanted to leave Northfield with me?”

next year. If we leave Northfield now, I’ll have to find a new job in a new city and who knows if the pay
will be as good. I do want to leave, but we need to be realistic.” Allison said.
That night, Allison lay on her bed, mulling over Grace’s odd behavior.
She sat up. Could it really be that Christopher or Leah had threatened her mother? The Flanagan
family was such a pain in the ass! Her mother and she had already backed down so many times! They
actually had the audacity to force them out of Northfield! Was Leah so afraid of Penelope’s secret
coming out? But Penelope was already pregnant, and she promised not to spill the beans about what
happened. Then why were they still threatening her mother? And Leah, even threatened Sarah to fire
her!
Allison found it all a bit laughable. Her staying in Northfield was that big of a threat to Leah and
Penelope? Was all this fuss really necessary?
Initially, Allison did want to save enough money to leave this place with her mother and settle down in a
quiet, beautiful city for the rest of their lives.
But now, Allison had changed her mind. She was determined to hold her own in this city and make sure
Penelope and Leah paid their dues!
As long as Penelope and Leah stopped bothering her and her mother, she would keep the hotel’s
secret. But if they hurt her and her mother again, she would fight back!
Opportunities were indeed in her own hands.
Unable to sleep, Allison opened her drawer, eyed a business card of Gavin’s. She then picked up her
phone, searched for his number in WhatsApp, and added him as a contact
If there was a chance for promotion, she was game.
The next morning, Allison opened her eyes, took a shower, and tossed her dirty clothes into the
washing machine. Suddenly, she found a man’s watch in her pocket, the one Lucian had left behind.

Allison put the watch away and loaded the washing machine with her dirty clothes. She walked into the
living room and didn’t see Grace. She then went to the kitchen and found a note Grace had left on the
dining table. [Allie, I made breakfast for you. Eat when you wake up. I’ve gone out]
Allison frowned. Lately, Grace seemed to be going out often in the morning.
She opened the fridge and saw it was packed with food. There were enough fruits and vegetables to
last her three to four days.
She picked up her phone and dialed Grace.
“Allie, are you awake?” Grace asked.
“Mom, where are you?” Allison said.
I’m at the Cherry Lane market Grace added from the other end of the line. The vegetables here are
cheap, and the meat is fresh.”
At that moment, Grace was standing in front of a skyscraper with a pot of soup. She looked up at the
towering building labeled Epic Entertainment”, amazed by the sight, and walked in.
