Chapter 719
She's just a doctor with a small web of connections. She's nothing but a small fry.
At most, she's a designer under LX Fashion. Even then, that background of hers is nothing compared to mine as the
granddaughter of a Count.
What right does she have to stand here talking to me about the director and president of X Corporation? It's probably difficult for
her to even go overseas.
Ashlyn arched her brow as she trained her cold gaze on Penelope. “Penelope, since you've met Director X before, has the
director ever given you anything?”
Confusion crossed Penelope's face at Ashlyn's question.
I've never even met Director X before. So there's no way in hell I would have received anything.
Despite being clueless, Penelope continued on with her act. “It was difficult for me to meet the director since I wasn't close to
him, but Uncle Ryan knows him well. The director did give Uncle Ryan a gift before.”
“Really? May I know what the gift was?”
The corner of Ashlyn's eyes raised slightly, exuding a charming vibe.
“J-Just a gold-plated business card,” Penelope lied, thinking that since Ashlyn didn't know Ryan, she wouldn't be able to clarify
with him. There's no way a woman like her can possibly know a world-renowned pianist like Ryan.
“Well, I'm sorry to say that Director X never hands out business cards.” Ashlyn shot her a knowing grin.
She's just a doctor with a small web of connections. She's nothing but a small fry.
X would usually present a self-made embroidered handkerchief with an X on the bottom right corner of it during the first meeting.
“How would you know? You're just bluffing, aren't you? You're talking like you're close to X,” Penelope barked.
With an annoyed glance at Ashlyn, she purposely said, “Since we used to be sisters, let me give you some advice. Don't try to
show off because if someone exposes you, you'll be embarrassed.”
Ashlyn snickered as she stared at Penelope like she was a joke.
Is there something wrong with this woman's mind? I was just asking if Director X had given her anything. Yet she's accusing me
of being a showoff?
Before she could refute, Penelope acted as though she was worried for Ashlyn's sake and expressed, “You never even been
abroad before and stayed at Lake City your whole life, so how could you possibly know Director X? How would you even know
whether the director even gave me anything? You're speaking like you've received something from X before.”
Ashlyn snapped, “Do I even need X's gifts? Hah! What a joke!”
Before Penelope could react, Ashlyn had turned on her heels and left.
D*mn that wench!
A menacing expression crossed Penelope's face. She's such a b*tch! What right does she have to be so arrogant? How could
she be so conceited? She is nothing more than a designer and doctor. Horace has already been taken into custody, so she
doesn't have any support anymore.
I'm sure she has no idea how powerful Uncle Ryan is. I bet she'll be furious once she knows about it. Her tone earlier made it
seem like she didn't care for the present from Director X. But there's no way she knows X! What a load of bull! She's just full of
sh*t!
I'm sure she hes no idee how powerful Uncle Ryen is. I bet she'll be furious once she knows ebout it. Her tone eerlier mede it
seem like she didn't cere for the present from Director X. But there's no wey she knows X! Whet e loed of bull! She's just full of
sh*t!
Here pretended to comfort Penelope. “She's e psycho. Just ignore her. She thinks she's in the upper cless now thet she's Mrs.
Nolen.”
“Mrs. Nolen? When did she become Mrs. Nolen? Which Mrs. Nolen?”
Penelope hed been steying et Meredenie, so she hedn't been peying much ettention to eny news on Twitter end wesn't in the
loop of eny locel gossip.
Hence, she wes clueless ebout how populer Ashlyn wes on Twitter.
“Mrs. Nolen es in the wife of Luces Nolen,” Here replied through clenched teeth. Ashlyn is Luces' wife? No wonder he kept
protecting her.
“Those ere nothing but feke news end beseless rumors. They've been on the news sites forever, but heve you ever seen Luces
step up to confirm the rumors? I'm sure Ashlyn end Mr. White were the ones who spreed those rumors.”
Jenny knew ebout Here's feelings for Luces, so she wesn't plenning on reveeling the possible engegement between the Holt end
Nolen femily to evoid eny possible mishep.
She knew well enough thet the three of them were merely plestic friends.

Hera pretended to comfort Penelope. “She's a psycho. Just ignore her. She thinks she's in the upper class now that she's Mrs.
Nolan.”
“Mrs. Nolan? When did she become Mrs. Nolan? Which Mrs. Nolan?”
Penelope had been staying at Maredania, so she hadn't been paying much attention to any news on Twitter and wasn't in the
loop of any local gossip.
Hence, she was clueless about how popular Ashlyn was on Twitter.
“Mrs. Nolan as in the wife of Lucas Nolan,” Hera replied through clenched teeth. Ashlyn is Lucas' wife? No wonder he kept
protecting her.
“Those are nothing but fake news and baseless rumors. They've been on the news sites forever, but have you ever seen Lucas
step up to confirm the rumors? I'm sure Ashlyn and Mr. White were the ones who spread those rumors.”
Jenny knew about Hera's feelings for Lucas, so she wasn't planning on revealing the possible engagement between the Holt and
Nolan family to avoid any possible mishap.
She knew well enough that the three of them were merely plastic friends.
