Chapter 726
It is all Penelope's fault that the crowd is questioning our integrity in public!
Ryan clenched his fists as an intense urge to choke Penelope surged within him.
He took a deep breath but could not conceal the fury in his eyes.
Then, he turned to Ashlyn and said, “Ms. Berry, you're right. All jewelry designed by Director X has a double X logo.
Therefore, Charlotte's necklace is real. However, I have never met Director X before, nor did I bring Penelope to
see Director X. As such, I have never received the handkerchief you mentioned. I apologize if Penelope's words
have caused a misunderstanding. It is my fault for not educating her well.”
Penelope's face blanched at that. She gripped her hands so tightly that they nearly bled.
She bit her lower lip hard and almost broke through the skin.
Everyone could see the double X logo at the back of the pendant.
It was a big X with a small X underneath it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAshlyn looked at Penelope mockingly. “I guess some people like to brag so much that they forget their identity.”
Jenny, Hera, and the crowd all had stunned expressions on their faces.
No one expected Ashlyn to gift Charlotte an authentic Director X designed necklace.
Charlotte was also stunned to find that her necklace was an authentic design from Director X. That means that this
necklace's value... is much more valuable than the one Penelope has!
“So, Ms. Holt, Ms. Chapman, Ms. Penelope, are you not going to apologize? You falsely accused Charlotte and me of
stealing the necklace. Then, you slander us again, saying that the necklace is fake. Since you don't know how to
identify a real design by Director X, you should have said nothing. It would have saved you from all this
embarrassment!” Ashlyn said.
“So, Ms. Holt, Ms. Chapman, Ms. Penelope, are you not going to apologize? You falsely accused Charlotte and me of
stealing the necklace. Then, you slander us again, saying that the necklace is fake. Since you don't know how to
identify a real design by Director X, you should have said nothing. It would have saved you from all this
embarrassment!” Ashlyn said.
She looked at Penelope and the others and saw their faces turn pale. It doesn't matter how much they dressed
themselves up because nothing could conceal their ugly hearts.
Penelope was bursting with fury. I just apologized earlier. So why do I have to apologize again?
Hera had a puzzled expression. Why should I apologize?
On the other hand, Jenny could not control her fury and shouted, “Olivia slapped me. She should apologize too!”
Ashlyn sneered and said, “You deserved that slap! How can Ms. Warhol not slap you after you said those shameful
words? Since your parents did not discipline you properly, don't blame others for doing what your parents failed to
do.”
Jenny clenched her fists. Her lashes quivered as she said, “Ashlyn, the Holt family and the Nolan family are about to
enter into a marriage alliance. Are you jealous that I will be replacing you as Mrs. Nolan? Is that why you're shaming
me like this?”
“Oh? Is that so? Lucas is here. Why don't you ask him whether he wants to marry you or not?” Ashlyn laughed as if
she had heard the funniest joke. Then, she calmly glanced toward Lucas.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucas had not spoken since he showed up. Despite his silence, the crowd could not ignore his commanding
presence.
His gaze shimmered. Then, his charming and magnetic voice sounded through the silence. “Ashlyn shall be the only
wife I have in this lifetime.”
His tone was cold, but it warmed up slightly at the mention of Ashlyn's name.
The crowd stared at Lucas in shock.
He admits it! He finally admits it!
Hera also had a shocked expression as she looked at Jenny. She never realized that Jenny wanted Lucas for herself
too.
For a moment, Hera felt humiliated that she had fallen for Jenny's lies.
Why was I so foolish as to believe that Jenny wanted to help me to win Lucas' affection? Lucas is an outstanding
man, while Jenny comes from a wealthy family. It should have been obvious that she became an air stewardess for
a few years because of him! How can I be so stupid as to not notice Jenny's true intention?
At the same time, Penelope was stunned too. “What did you say? A marriage alliance between the Holt and Nolan
Family? No way! You can't do that!”
I am now a member of the Count's family. Thus, I am the only woman worthy of Lucas.
