Chapter 438
“I don’t think that’s what you saidst time,” Shannon said coldly. “Now that Megan has fallen, you’ve
come to bootlick our boss? What are you trying to do?”
“I was blindst time. I have to listen to Megan’s orders since I work under her. Actually, I… I have
always liked you, Ms. X,” Abigail hurriedly exined. “I hope that Ms. X won’t take offense.”
Ashlyn stopped in her tracks and shot Abigail a piercing re. “What kind of person are you?”
Under Ashlyn’s intense stare, beads of cold sweat unknowingly started to form on Abigail’s forehead.
“I… I…”
Why didn’t I notice how scary X can be in the past?
“Aren’t you a petty person! A person who is easily swayed and just goes with the flow. You’ll do
anything to please anyone in power. Apdog like you will definitely die within 3 episodes in a pce
drama, being nothing more than cannon fodder,” Shannon jeered as she continually hurled insults at
Abigail. She finally managed to release her pent-up anger.
Ashlyn could care less about a person like Abigail; she came to her so quickly only because she was
afraid that Ashlyn would take revenge on her.
She looked at Abigail expressionlessly and said, “Go on in, don’t make the major stockholder wait.”
Abigail could only follow them in gloomily.
The five-star restaurant was indeed extravagant. Even the lobby on the first floor was furnished to be
luxurious andvish.
The rest area in the lobby was quite packed.
Penelope held onto Mary’s arm as she scanned the crowd, eyes wide with admiration.
“Mom, this ce is really luxurious.”
“Don’t make yourself look like a country bumpkin. You are a socialite of Count’s Mansion now;
remember that,” Mary reminder her daughter, frowning.
Penelope was d in a purple suit, thetest arrival of the season, and her plus-size thighs were
hidden underneath the wide-legged pants.
In her hand was a Ctene bag from thetest collection.
Beside Penelope stood Mary, who had dressed upvishly. There were at least three jade rings and
gemstone rings on her fingers.
Penelope restrained herself from staring at everything in awe. However, after a few moments, she
could not help but ask, “Mom, did Uncle really reserve the most expensive and luxurious junior
ballroom for us?”
Mary gracefully tousled her hair before she said haughtily, “Of course. Your Uncle wouldn’t lie to us.”
A few socialitesdies stood behind both of them; they were all the nobles from Maredania.
Since Count’s Mansion found the long-lost mother and daughter pair, they naturally wanted toe to
visit.
Count’s Mansion had invited all of them to spectate London’s Fashion Week, while the role of the
emcees for this event was assigned to Penelope and Mary.
After being personally assigned a task by thedy of Count Mansion, Mary felt ted.
Who am I now? I’m the true legitimate daughter of Count’s Mansion!
And my younger brother listens to whatever I said!

Although her brother never followed her around, as soon as she called, he would arrange and prepare
whatever she needed.
Just like now, her younger brother had reserved the junior ballroom for her. She wanted to invite a few
noblewomen to a small party.
This time, she brought 8 sets of costumes and 10 other sets of casual wear.
Sigh. It feels so good to be rich.
Just at that moment, the lobby manager dressed in a uniform walked over, “Ms. Canter, nice to meet
you.”
Mary poked her chin into the air with an arrogant look. “Please bring my distinguished guests directly to
the ballroom. I’ll leave our luggage to you.”
The lobby manager looked slightly ufortable as he knew that Mary was not someone to be trifled
with. “Yes Ma’am… It’s just that… I have something I need to tell you.”
Mary narrowed her eyes. “What do you want to say?”
The lobby manager rubbed his hands together. “The thing is, the junior ballroom had been booked by
another important guest.”
