The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 599

As Lucian first heard her words, a twinge of guilt wormed through his heart, but the moment the rest of the sentence filtered through, his expression shifted.

Penelope’s private life was a mess; who knew who she’d given her first time to? That video, with her tangled up with several men, played in his mind. If it hadn’t been for the fact that she saved him and his mother, he would have exposed the damn video and called off their engagement right then and there.

Lucian’s gaze hardened on Penelope. He’d just returned to the country, and indeed, someone had drugged him that night.
