Chapter 724


    Ever since Penelope followed Mary to live in the Count’s Mansion, people ttered her wherever she


    went. As such, she had never suffered such indignity as of now.


    Furthermore, she had forgotten her unsavory past in H Nation, especially about her constantly


    changing boyfriends.


    She chose to forget her past and only remembered that she was the Count’s granddaughter. Thus,


    setting herself on a high pedestal.


    Penelope turned to Ryan and hoped that he would say something to help her.


    However, Ryan’s expression remained stern. His eyes looked as cold as the diamond stud on his ear.


    “U-Uncle Ryan, I…” Penelope stuttered.


    “You did not grow up in the Yates family, so you have never received our strict upbringing or know our


    customs. If something like this happens in the Count’s Mansion, your grandmother would have


    punished you and ordered you to kneel for three days in the memorial hall!” Ryan said coldly.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Penelope has a lot of problematic behaviors that need to be dealt with. Otherwise, she would cause us


    shame. Then, the Yates family would be theughing stock of Maredania’s aristocrats.


    Ryan felt furious as he thought about this.


    Meanwhile, Penelope’s face burned with anger.


    She believed Ryan was only treating her like this because he was disgusted by the fact that she grew


    up in the Bery family.


    That must be why he’s scolding me before the crowd. How could he humiliate me like this?


    Her face turned pale as she thought about her situation. She began to feel dizzy from anxiety.


    However, she remembered Ryan saying she had to kneel for three days in the memorial hall. Thus, she


    nced at the scene before her and decided quickly.


    Since Uncle Ryan already disdains me, Granny would probably hate me even more if she finds out


    about this. I can’t get kicked out of the Yates family. I guess I have no choice but to do as Ryan says.


    Penelope gritted her teeth as she came near Ashlyn and Charlotte before saying, “I’m sorry. I was too


    rash just now. My Brand X ne was a gift from Uncle Ryan, so I really treasure it. Since Ms.


    Lynch’s ne looks simr to mine, I thought it was mine. It was unintentional. I didn’t expect


    something like this to happen.”


    Brand X’s prestige was not limited to nes. Even a small-sized brooch from this brand would cost


    a hefty sum.


    Therefore, anyone would be anxious when they lost something from Brand X.


    Although Penelope looked apologetic, she still sounded like she did nothing wrong.


    Everyone in Lake City knows the Fraser family had adopted Charlotte but haster disowned her. So


    why would she have the money to buy a Brand X ne? I’m sure the ne is fake.


    Although Charlotte had autism before and had an innocent personality, she was not stupid.


    She smiled and said, “Ashlyn gifted me this ne. I cherish every gift from her. Even if it’s a sheet


    of paper or a flower plucked from the roadside, I would still be happy to receive it because Ashlyn gave


    it to me with a sincere heart. I am honored and thankful to receive her gifts.”


    Charlotte paused and continued, “It does not matter how much the gift costs. Besides, what makes you


    think that Ashlyn can’t afford to gift me a brand X ne?”


    Joseph stood at the entrance and wanted to rush in when he noticed people surrounding Ashlyn and


    Charlotte.


    However, Fae stopped him and shook her head. “Lottie needs to learn to be independent. No one can


    help her with this. Instead, she needs to pull herself out of the situation”


    Joseph, who was worried about Charlotte, was stumped upon hearing Fae. “But Mom…”


    “Did you not notice how she is? She has matured a lot and has surprised us with her growth. I believe


    she will amaze us even more in the future!” Fae looked affectionately at Charlotte speaking in the


    middle of a crowd.


    Somehow, Charlotte’s demeanor vaguely reminds me of Ashlyn. Could it be my imagination?


    “Charlotte, do you have no shame?” A sharp voice interrupted Fae and Joseph’s conversation. They


    looked in the direction of the said voice and saw Jenny shoving Charlotte.


    “You’re wearing a fake Brand X ne. I can’t believe you have the audacity to sound so righteous


    still. Besides, everyone knows you’re just an adopted daughter of the Fraser family, and everyone


    knows they’ve already chased you out. Thus, you are now homeless like a stray and have no


    qualification or social standing. So how could you afford to wear expensive jewelry? I don’t think you


    can even afford to pay for a gram of gold!” Jenny scolded.
