Chapter 399
“That’s quite young,” mocked Ashlyn with a nod. Young enough to be forty soon.
She’s only in her twenties, and yet she’s dating a man who’s almost forty. What’s there to be proud of?
She needs to get her priorities straight.
“So, you’re Ashlyn? You look pretty, but could you treat Penelope a little better in the future?” Matt looked at Ashlyn
displeasedly.
He had heard a lot about Ashlyn from Penelope, so his impression of Ashlyn was that she was a vile woman who
liked to pick on the former.
Matt would get furious whenever Penelope complained about Ashlyn to him.
Now that he finally met Ashlyn in person, it did not matter that Ashlyn looked prettier and more charming than
Penelope. Matt had nothing but disgust for Ashlyn.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMatt continued to lecture Ashlyn the way he would lecture his students. “Penelope’s kind and innocent, but that
doesn’t mean you can always pick on her like that. You’re sisters, and you’re supposed to help and love each other.
You can’t continue to treat her the way you used to.”
Ashlyn looked at Matt in disbelief. What’s wrong with this guy?
I know Horace’s in jail right now, so is Penelope getting another cash cow?
She was just with another jerk from the hospital a few days ago... She’s with this guy now?
Her boyfriend turnover rate is really astonishing! I guess she’s trying to show people what it means to change your
boyfriend like you change your clothes.
What Ashlyn did not know was that Penelope was actually cheating. She was dating both men at the same time.
What’s wrong with the principal? Why would someone like Matt be assigned the position of vice president?
Someone who would get manipulated so easily by Penelope.
It was almost laughable.
“Be careful who you’re talking to, Mr. Zane.” Ashlyn glanced at Matt once again but coldly this time. “Who are you
to talk to me that way?”
“I’m Penelope’s boyfriend and your soon-to-be brother-in-law, so you have to listen to me!” Matt’s face turned red
from embarrassment. He had not expected Ashlyn to talk back, so he grew upset when she did.
“Well, excuse me! Not even Horace could’ve made me listen to him. So just save it.” Ashlyn turned and left as soon
as she was done speaking.
She could not bother wasting any more time with the two idiots.
Penelope got so upset as she leaned helplessly against Matt. “That’s the attitude she always gives me, Darling. Look
how she despises me.”
Feeling heartbroken for her, Matt quickly kissed and comforted her softly, “It’s okay Darling. We’ll go inside and
have her pay for her attitude.”
Embraced by Matt, Penelope smirked as she thought about getting back at Ashlyn.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFollowing closely behind Ashlyn, the two made their way into the Imperial Hotel as well.
Lucas was sitting at a long European-style table with Principal Potter and the others when Ashlyn took a seat beside
him. She only did so because there was no other seat available at the table. She knew that seat had been
undoubtedly saved specifically for her.
To Ashlyn’s surprise, nobody had ordered any food yet.
“What do you want to eat?” Lucas asked softly as he handed Ashlyn the menu.
“Oil-braised chicken, fresh shrimp, and stir-fried vegetables.” Ashlyn made the orders without hesitation.
Only after her orders did Lucas and the others started making theirs.
When Matt and Penelope appeared suddenly at the scene, all they saw was a woman with bright eyes, pearl teeth,
long eyelashes, fair skin, and lips that are as tender as rose petals.
Next to that woman was an unusually good-looking man surrounded by a powerful aura. Even though he was only
wearing a regular black shirt, his presence was so strong that it was almost palpable.
Matt’s eyes opened even wider when he realized who the others around them were.
