Chapter 782

Never in a million years did Ashlyn think Susan would appear and slander her and her friends.

Susan's remark hurt her so deeply that she could barely breathe. It was unbearably painful.

All the onlookers cast disdainful looks at her as if she was stripped naked in public.

Penelope looked at Ashlyn in smug satisfaction. How I wish Ashlyn would drop to her knees and beg me.

She finally opened her mouth and said, “All this while, you've never shown Grandma any respect. People might be

charmed by your innocent looks, but I know what kind of person you are.”

Penelope's eyes reddened as she continued, “Grandma took good care of you when you were in the countryside,

yet you kicked her out of the house during winter and refused to feed her. Fortunately, Mom and I arrived in time

and took Grandma to the city. You're the most wicked woman I've ever seen.”

Susan also chided, “Yeah. She kicked me out of the house during winter while I was wearing only a thin shirt. And

that's how I got my arthritis in the legs. Ashlyn, what have I done to you to deserve this? I raised you and gave you

a home, yet this is how you repay me?”

“I know you're famous now and have a lot of money. But have you thought of the life you had before? Have you

thought of how you treated me in the past? Have you thought of taking care of me?” Susan said in between sobs.

Bianca was utterly annoyed by the turn of events. She did not expect these people would make a din at her

birthday party and cause the atmosphere to turn awkward.

After seeing how Susan behaved, Bianca regretted having her over. She had invited Susan to her birthday party

because Mary had told her that she felt bad leaving Susan alone in the house. Since this woman named Susan took

good care of my daughter, I thought she should be a sweet person.

But that was not the case. The elderly woman was not only a country bumpkin but also an uncouth shrew.

At the same time, Bianca had also begun to see Ashlyn as a troublemaker, even though she initially had a good

impression of her.

She shot daggers at Ryan. Look at the guests you've brought to the house!

Ryan was bewildered. He did not know how to react to that glare.

When he bumped into Ashlyn by the door, he noticed she already had an invitation card. She's a guest and also a

fellow judge at the piano competition. How can I stop her from entering?

At this point, Caleb, who had kept mum throughout the drama, walked up to Ashlyn and asked casually, “Lynnie,

you've always been a free spirit and wouldn't let any stumbling block get in your way. Why don't you say

something?”

A corner of Ashlyn's lips quirked up. “I used to call her Grandma, but since I'm not Horace's biological daughter,

she's not my biological grandmother. I don't want to argue with them since this is not the Berrys' family dinner.

We're here to celebrate Old Mrs. Yates' birthday, so I can't steal the limelight from the star of the day.”

Bianca's face changed upon hearing that. Unlike Mary and her daughter, this girl has a knack for putting things into

perspective. I'm impressed!

Almost all the guests had turned their attention to the drama around Ashlyn, Susan, and Penelope. At the same

time, Bianca's own daughter and granddaughter continued to add fuel to the fire as if they could care less about

her birthday.

That was why Bianca was taken aback by Ashlyn's remark. Though she's an outsider, she's the only one here who

cares about my feelings.

The guests, who were waiting for more drama to unfold, instantly felt embarrassed upon hearing what Ashlyn said.

“She looks like a great kid. I wonder if it's all just a misunderstanding?” Bianca smiled and gently patted Ashlyn's

hand. “How old are you, and what do you work as?”

Ashlyn looked at the affable Bianca and softened her voice. “I'm a doctor specializing in surgery.”
