Chapter 723
The back of Charlotte’s ne pendant had a unique double X logo. Therger X represented X
Corporation, and the smaller X meant the ne was Director X’s design.
Everything Director X designed had this double X logo, be it clothes or jewelry.
Almost everyone who kept up to date with news about X Corporation knew about this detail.
Why does Ashlyn have a ne designed by Director X? How is this possible? It even has a big star-
shaped diamond. Could it be a fake?
Penelope did not dare to say Charlotte’s ne was hers.
However, she could not admit her mistake in public either, as it would be embarrassing.
Caught in a rock and a hard ce, she was aware that she would be humiliated no matter which choice
she made.

Just then, a velvety voice sounded from the entrance to backstage. “Your ne is here with me.”
Everyone could not help but turn toward the voice.
They saw a tall man in a white suit and dark red tie walking in.
He looked elegant and imposing. The streak of blue hair above his forehead was especially eye-
catching.
“Uncle Ryan…” Penelope bit her lower lip and looked at Ryan as he approached her.
Ryan had a diamond stud on his left ear. It was brilliantly eye-catching.
His eyes were ice-cold as he turned to Penelope. Then, he unfurled his palm, revealing a delicate
ne.
The ne had a thin chain and a tiny diamond. As it was a Brand X ne, it had exquisite
workmanship. Still, it paled inparison to the ne around Charlotte’s neck.
The crowd was astute and instantly saw the marked difference between Charlotte’s ne and
Penelope’s ne.
Penelope felt humiliated as she took the thin ne from Ryan. She forced herself to smile and said,
“Uncle Ryan, why is the ne with you?”
“You dropped it in my room after you got off the nest night. I only saw it this morning.” Ryan
looked down at Penelope and was displeased with her shameful behavior.
Ashlyn narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and said in an icy tone, “Penelope, you caused a scene and
framed Charlotte and me for no reason. Don’t you think you should apologize to us?”
Penelope’s face turned pale as she stood rooted to her spot. She felt thoroughly humiliated.
I am the granddaughter of a Count. These lower-ss people have no right to demand an apology from
me! They are not even worthy of being my servant and can only hope to look at me from afar!
Penelope stood still and refused to speak.
The atmosphere grew tense as everyone focused their attention on her.
Previously, Jenny never cared about pianopetitions. She only came this time due to Penelope’s
invitation. Penelope also paid for her ticket and said they were there to cheer for Hera.
Although Jenny knew Ryan, the Piano Prince, was Penelope’s uncle, she never expected to find him
that good-looking in person.
He is absurdly handsome!
Therefore, she could not help but want to make a good impression before Ryan andshed out at
Ashlyn to defend Penelope. “Aren’t you too much? Penelope did not mean it. Since it was an honest
mistake, you should treat it as a joke and forget it. Why do you insist on making her apologize?”
On the other hand, Ryan could not stand it anymore. He furrowed his brow and looked at Penelope
with a displeased expression. Why is Penelope friends with someone like that? That woman is
shockinglycking in morals and principles!
“Ms. Ashlyn is right. The Yates family does not tolerate something like this. Penelope, apologize to her,”
Ryan ordered sternly.
Olivia pursed her lips and smirked. “Mr. Yates is just and wise. One could not let certain people ruin the
reputation of the Count’s Mansion.”
Many contestants among the crowds and their family members could not help but voice out their
thoughts. “That’s right.”
“Precisely. You should apologize for wrongly using someone.”
