Chapter 867 Hatred
Ashlyn nodded. “I'll invite them for a meal next time. I have a few girl friends who are nice that I can introduce to
them... as long as they don't mind their women fierce.”
They won't mind fiery petite women, right? Hopefully.
Meanwhile, Cassandra, who just got out of the car, sneezed. Is someone talking about me behind my back?
Harvey's smile grew wider at Ashlyn's words. “I'm sure they won't! It's good that girls nowadays know some form of
self-defense skills. They can protect themselves in dangerous situations and against domestic violence.”
The two talked comfortably without minding the others, but their conversation astounded the crowd.
Everyone's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets from the shock.
What did he mean by buying luxury goods from every brand and sending them over?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWinsor was also stunned by Harvey's generosity. He had heard about the industrial park that Magnecal Tech
invested in. In fact, many large corporations were eagerly anticipating renting a place at the park. They figured
their work could be made easier with the modernized high-tech facilities.
Yet Harvey just gave it to Ashlyn as though it was nothing important.
Meanwhile, jealousy had gripped Penelope and Mary in a tight vise.
They thought Harvey's present was merely a luxury good at first. At most, it would be something slightly more
expensive. Yet, they never thought the bag contained a license for a car racing team and the property rights to an
industrial park.
What exactly is Ashlyn's relation to Magnecal Tech? No matter how close they are, Harvey shouldn't gift her such
extravagant presents!
Mary felt her blood pressure rising at the scene. She had always desired wealth and status, but why was it always
Ashlyn who got them?
She had been chasing after fame all her life, but why did everything have to be stolen by Ashlyn?
Penelope was upset, feeling as though Ashlyn had slapped her across her face before wiping the floor with it. She
felt like a lowly maid in front of Ashlyn.
The more she mulled over it, the more she cursed at her luck.
Everyone wants to get acquainted with the chairman of Magnecal Tech, yet he seems close to Ashlyn. I'm sure he's
an acquaintance of Lucas and only talks to her out of respect for Lucas.
Mary's eyelid was twitching incessantly. She felt a strong urge to rub her eyes, but the thought of smudging her
makeup had her dropping her hand. Sucking in a deep breath to calm the restlessness within her, she then spoke.
“Don't worry, Ms. Oates. We're sincere in our offer to collaborate with Mr. Haddock.”
Sienna merely smiled at Mary's comment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMary turned to Penelope. “Don't worry. It's not a big deal. Mr. Harris is your godfather, and others gaze at you with
envy. Stop comparing yourself to Ashlyn. So what if she has the chairman of Magnecal Tech supporting her? Does
she have as many guests as we do?”
Penelope felt much better at her mother's consolation.
Mom's right. He's nothing but an old-timer. It doesn't mean anything. Look around me. I have more guests than she
does. All of them are prestigious in their fields. Besides, I even invited a lot of reporters. I'm the one who's going to
be headlining all the news. Surely, they won't go back on their promise since they've already accepted our bribe?
Glee flitted across her face at the thought.
Her eyes were filled with uncontained joy as she told Mary, “Mom, I still miss those days when you would prepare a
birthday cake for me back in the countryside. All we had was each other back then, but we were happy.”
Mary patted Penelope's hand gently. “I feel bad for how you're always so thoughtful and understanding.”
The more her heart ached for Penelope, the more her jealousy grew for Ashlyn.
Consequently, her hatred for Ashlyn grew too. The toxic bitterness was engraved deeply in her bones.
I'll make sure Ashlyn falls into despair one day! Why do we see her everywhere we go?
