My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 719

She's just a doctor with a small web of connections. She's nothing but a small fry.

At most, she's a designer under LX Fashion. Even then, that background of hers is nothing compared to mine as the

granddaughter of a Count.

What right does she have to stand here talking to me about the director and president of X Corporation? It's

probably difficult for her to even go overseas.

Ashlyn arched her brow as she trained her cold gaze on Penelope. “Penelope, since you've met Director X before,

has the director ever given you anything?”

Confusion crossed Penelope's face at Ashlyn's question.

I've never even met Director X before. So there's no way in hell I would have received anything.

Despite being clueless, Penelope continued on with her act. “It was difficult for me to meet the director since I

wasn't close to him, but Uncle Ryan knows him well. The director did give Uncle Ryan a gift before.”

“Really? May I know what the gift was?”

The corner of Ashlyn's eyes raised slightly, exuding a charming vibe.

“J-Just a gold-plated business card,” Penelope lied, thinking that since Ashlyn didn't know Ryan, she wouldn't be able

to clarify with him. There's no way a woman like her can possibly know a world-renowned pianist like Ryan.

“Well, I'm sorry to say that Director X never hands out business cards.” Ashlyn shot her a knowing grin.

She's just a doctor with a small web of connections. She's nothing but a small fry.

X would usually present a self-made embroidered handkerchief with an X on the bottom right corner of it during the

first meeting.

“How would you know? You're just bluffing, aren't you? You're talking like you're close to X,” Penelope barked.

With an annoyed glance at Ashlyn, she purposely said, “Since we used to be sisters, let me give you some advice.

Don't try to show off because if someone exposes you, you'll be embarrassed.”

Ashlyn snickered as she stared at Penelope like she was a joke.

Is there something wrong with this woman's mind? I was just asking if Director X had given her anything. Yet she's

accusing me of being a showoff?

Before she could refute, Penelope acted as though she was worried for Ashlyn's sake and expressed, “You never

even been abroad before and stayed at Lake City your whole life, so how could you possibly know Director X? How

would you even know whether the director even gave me anything? You're speaking like you've received something

from X before.”

Ashlyn snapped, “Do I even need X's gifts? Hah! What a joke!”

Before Penelope could react, Ashlyn had turned on her heels and left.

D*mn that wench!

A menacing expression crossed Penelope's face. She's such a b*tch! What right does she have to be so arrogant?

How could she be so conceited? She is nothing more than a designer and doctor. Horace has already been taken

into custody, so she doesn't have any support anymore.

I'm sure she has no idea how powerful Uncle Ryan is. I bet she'll be furious once she knows about it. Her tone

earlier made it seem like she didn't care for the present from Director X. But there's no way she knows X! What a

load of bull! She's just full of sh*t!

I'm sure she hes no idee how powerful Uncle Ryen is. I bet she'll be furious once she knows ebout it. Her tone

eerlier mede it seem like she didn't cere for the present from Director X. But there's no wey she knows X! Whet e

loed of bull! She's just full of sh*t!

Here pretended to comfort Penelope. “She's e psycho. Just ignore her. She thinks she's in the upper cless now thet

she's Mrs. Nolen.”

“Mrs. Nolen? When did she become Mrs. Nolen? Which Mrs. Nolen?”

Penelope hed been steying et Meredenie, so she hedn't been peying much ettention to eny news on Twitter end

wesn't in the loop of eny locel gossip.

Hence, she wes clueless ebout how populer Ashlyn wes on Twitter.

“Mrs. Nolen es in the wife of Luces Nolen,” Here replied through clenched teeth. Ashlyn is Luces' wife? No wonder

he kept protecting her.

“Those ere nothing but feke news end beseless rumors. They've been on the news sites forever, but heve you ever

seen Luces step up to confirm the rumors? I'm sure Ashlyn end Mr. White were the ones who spreed those

rumors.”

Jenny knew ebout Here's feelings for Luces, so she wesn't plenning on reveeling the possible engegement between

the Holt end Nolen femily to evoid eny possible mishep.

She knew well enough thet the three of them were merely plestic friends.

I'm sure she has no idea how powerful Uncle Ryan is. I bet she'll be furious once she knows about it. Her tone

earlier made it seem like she didn't care for the present from Director X. But there's no way she knows X! What a

load of bull! She's just full of sh*t!

Hera pretended to comfort Penelope. “She's a psycho. Just ignore her. She thinks she's in the upper class now that

she's Mrs. Nolan.”

“Mrs. Nolan? When did she become Mrs. Nolan? Which Mrs. Nolan?”

Penelope had been staying at Maredania, so she hadn't been paying much attention to any news on Twitter and

wasn't in the loop of any local gossip.

Hence, she was clueless about how popular Ashlyn was on Twitter.

“Mrs. Nolan as in the wife of Lucas Nolan,” Hera replied through clenched teeth. Ashlyn is Lucas' wife? No wonder

he kept protecting her.

“Those are nothing but fake news and baseless rumors. They've been on the news sites forever, but have you ever

seen Lucas step up to confirm the rumors? I'm sure Ashlyn and Mr. White were the ones who spread those

rumors.”

Jenny knew about Hera's feelings for Lucas, so she wasn't planning on revealing the possible engagement between

the Holt and Nolan family to avoid any possible mishap.

She knew well enough that the three of them were merely plastic friends.
