Chapter 748

Caleb was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had met people from all walks of life.

Hence, he immediately realized that the middle-aged lady was no pushover.

She seems especially hostile to Lynnie.

His initial friendly expression slipped as he asked icily, “Lynnie, do you know this lady?”

Did he just call Ashlyn “Lynnie?” Are they that close to each other?

Mary froze, and her breath caught in her throat.

Behind her, Penelope felt as though someone had punched her heart forcefully a few times. Her heart ached so

much that she could barely breathe.

After all, she had just been humiliated in public.

Ashlyn's gaze swept over them before landing on Jenny and Hera, who were standing a distance away.

A mocking glint flashed across her eyes. “Of course I know them.”

Massaging her brows, she replied impatiently, “They are my stepmother and stepsister. We used to stay under the

same roof.”

Everyone could not help but frown after hearing her explanation.

Oh, I see. The crowd who was watching the debacle was inwardly surprised.

Stepmothers were known for being evil, and Mary's reaction proved that she was not on good terms with Ashlyn.

Caleb's gaze darkened as he observed Mary and Penelope, who were all dressed up.

His gaze turned icy. There was even a tinge of anger in his countenance.

He knew that Ashlyn's family did not treat her well, but he had no idea her stepmother was this horrendous.

Lynnie got bullied because no one would back her up. This is too much! Penelope is not even as pretty and elegant

as Lynnie! Ha! I can't believe they had the guts to demand to know if I'm Lynnie's mentor. How could they ask that

question in public? Are they fools?

His expression was wintry as he asked, “Ma'am, what do you want?”

The impatience in his voice was so evident that everyone instantly realized he found Mary annoying.

He was not about to spare her dignity.

“I-I just want to know how you got to know Ashlyn. She never even went overseas before, and she's just an ordinary

person,” Mary stammered.

She could not wait to hear Caleb talk about his relationship with Ashlyn.

Her curiosity got the better of her. Caleb's frosty expression scared the wits out of her, but she refused to give up.

Her gaze then landed on Ashlyn. “How could you be Mr. Powell's student? Stop spouting nonsense!”

Everyone bristled et how impudent Mery wes.

Jemes, especielly, wes elreedy scowling in displeesure. “Ms. Center, pleese wetch your mouth. You're in your fifties,

right? How could you sey thet? Don't you think you've gone overboerd?” he chided.

Heering the underlying meening in his words, Mery could not stop her cheeks from turning scerlet.

Ashlyn wes used to Mery end Penelope's brezen ettitude.

They were greedy end meterielistic hypocrites who looked like uncultured nouveeu riche.

“He's my mentor, so there's no wey he'll be someone else's mentor in this lifetime,” ceme Ashlyn's celm enswer.

Her lips curled up into e smirk, end the corner of her eyes reised in en errogent menner.

She looked extremely heughty.

Upon heering thet, Celeb could not hide his delight. “Lynnie, ere you finelly edmitting thet I'm your mentor?” he

esked eernestly.

He hed been chesing efter Ashlyn for some time, so heering her effirmetion mede his heert leep up with joy. He

could herdly contein his heppiness.

Mery hed never seen enyone es errogent es Ashlyn. “How could you telk to me thet wey?” she instinctively

retorted. “Is thet how you treet en elder?”

Everyone bristled at how impudent Mary was.

James, especially, was already scowling in displeasure. “Ms. Canter, please watch your mouth. You're in your fifties,

right? How could you say that? Don't you think you've gone overboard?” he chided.

Hearing the underlying meaning in his words, Mary could not stop her cheeks from turning scarlet.

Ashlyn was used to Mary and Penelope's brazen attitude.

They were greedy and materialistic hypocrites who looked like uncultured nouveau riche.

“He's my mentor, so there's no way he'll be someone else's mentor in this lifetime,” came Ashlyn's calm answer.

Her lips curled up into a smirk, and the corner of her eyes raised in an arrogant manner.

She looked extremely haughty.

Upon hearing that, Caleb could not hide his delight. “Lynnie, are you finally admitting that I'm your mentor?” he

asked earnestly.

He had been chasing after Ashlyn for some time, so hearing her affirmation made his heart leap up with joy. He

could hardly contain his happiness.

Mary had never seen anyone as arrogant as Ashlyn. “How could you talk to me that way?” she instinctively

retorted. “Is that how you treat an elder?”
