Chapter 722
Charlotte stepped in and defended Ashlyn. “Ashlyn is not a thief. How could you use her when you
don’t even have any evidence?”
I won’t allow anyone to bully Ashlyn!
In the past, Ashlyn was the one who always had her back, but this time, out of nowhere, Charlotte
found the courage to defend Ashlyn.
She did not want anyone to ridicule and look down on Ashlyn.
Don’t you dare try to bully Ashlyn. She’s the best person in the world!
Jenny shot a death re at Charlotte and Ashlyn. She got even more frustrated when she recalled how
Lucas chose to eat Ashlyn’s food instead of hers.
She was determined to humiliate Ashlyn in public. I’m the one that the elders in the Nn family have
acknowledged as Lucas’ wife.
“The ne that Penelope held in her hands earlier was a gift from her uncle. It’s worth millions, and
you won’t be able to buy them!”
Ashlyn let out a cold snort and said nonchntly, “Oh? Is that so?”
She spoke with little interest.
Olivia, who was doing her makeup halfway, went over to take a look upon hearing amotion. She
shot daggers at Penelope and said, “It’s just a ne. Is it really that big of a deal?”
“That’s a ne by X Corporation, and it’s worth a lot of money. I can even buy a house in a Tier-
Three or Tier-Four city with it! Besides, that ne has to be ordered two months in advance. It’s a
gift from my Uncle Ryan. If you refuse to return the ne to me, Ashlyn, I’ll have to call Uncle Ryan
toe over!” Penelope sounded condescending.
Ashlyn shed a faint smirk.
Indeed, the prices of X Corporation’s products from the affordable range were equivalent to that of a
residential unit in a Tier-Three or Tier-Four city.
On the other hand, thepany’s limited edition and products from the high-end range would be worth
more than a standard housing property.
“Charlotte Lynch, the ne you’re wearing now is mine!” Penelope pointed at the ne that
Ashlyn gifted to Charlotte earlier and bellowed.
Everyone turned their attention to the ne that dangled quietly on Charlotte’s smooth chest.
Penelope approached Charlotte with a grim expression. She then grabbed the ne and lifted it as
if she was going to pull it away from Charlotte’s neck.
However, she froze for a moment when Charlotte unexpectedly defended herself. “This is not yours!
Ashlyn gave it to me!” the woman eximed in anger.

Although Charlotte did be more cheerful and courageous recently, she was still a little afraid of the
crowd.
She wished to defend Ashlyn, but fear eventually took over her. She began to take a few steps back
and had no idea how to handle the situation anymore.
“Don’t be afraid of her! She can’t do anything to you!” Olivia went up to Charlotte and nudged her
shoulder to give her confidence. “I believe in Ms. Berry. Why don’t you take the ne off to prove
that it’s not Penelope’s!”
Charlotte was dumbfounded. She froze for a bit and stared at Olivia. I-I thought she hated me?
Isn’t she Uncle L’s fiancée? Why would she defend Ashlyn and encourage me?
I guess she’s quite a nice person, after all. It just feels weird to think differently about a person.
Hera rolled her eyes and said, “What is there to prove? Ashlyn must have stolen the ne!”
Jenny echoed, “Exactly! No matter how she defends herself, a thief is a thief!”
Meanwhile, Ashlyn looked calm, but there seemed to be an inexplicable expression on her gorgeous
face.
She gazed into Penelope’s eyes and asked, “Are you sure this is your ne?”
Penelope took another nce at the ne. The design was simr, but the jewelry piece on
Charlotte’s neck was obviously more high-end than hers.
The diamonds that dotted the ne reflected rays of the dazzling light in the room.
