Chapter 726
It is all Penelope’s fault that the crowd is questioning our integrity in public!
Ryan clenched his fists as an intense urge to choke Penelope surged within him.
He took a deep breath but could not conceal the fury in his eyes.
Then, he turned to Ashlyn and said, “Ms. Berry, you’re right. All jewelry designed by Director X has a
double X logo. Therefore, Charlotte’s ne is real. However, I have never met Director X before,
nor did I bring Penelope to see Director X. As such, I have never received the handkerchief you
mentioned. I apologize if Penelope’s words have caused a misunderstanding. It is my fault for not
educating her well.”

Penelope’s face nched at that. She gripped her hands so tightly that they nearly bled.
She bit her lower lip hard and almost broke through the skin.
Everyone could see the double X logo at the back of the pendant.
It was a big X with a small X underneath it.
Ashlyn looked at Penelope mockingly. “I guess some people like to brag so much that they forget their
identity.”
Jenny, Hera, and the crowd all had stunned expressions on their faces.
No one expected Ashlyn to gift Charlotte an authentic Director X designed ne.
Charlotte was also stunned to find that her ne was an authentic design from Director X. That
means that this ne’s value… is much more valuable than the one Penelope has!
“So, Ms. Holt, Ms. Chapman, Ms. Penelope, are you not going to apologize? You falsely used
Charlotte and me of stealing the ne. Then, you nder us again, saying that the ne is
fake. Since you don’t know how to identify a real design by Director X, you should have said nothing. It
would have saved you from all this embarrassment!” Ashlyn said.
She looked at Penelope and the others and saw their faces turn pale. It doesn’t matter how much they
dressed themselves up because nothing could conceal their ugly hearts.
Penelope was bursting with fury. I just apologized earlier. So why do I have to apologize again?
Hera had a puzzled expression. Why should I apologize?
On the other hand, Jenny could not control her fury and shouted, “Olivia pped me. She should
apologize too!”
Ashlyn sneered and said, “You deserved that p! How can Ms. Warhol not p you after you said
those shameful words? Since your parents did not discipline you properly, don’t me others for doing
what your parents failed to do.”
Jenny clenched her fists. Hershes quivered as she said, “Ashlyn, the Holt family and the Nn family
are about to enter into a marriage alliance. Are you jealous that I will be recing you as Mrs. Nn?
Is that why you’re shaming me like this?”
“Oh? Is that so? Lucas is here. Why don’t you ask him whether he wants to marry you or not?” Ashlyn
laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke. Then, she calmly nced toward Lucas.
Lucas had not spoken since he showed up. Despite his silence, the crowd could not ignore his
commanding presence.
His gaze shimmered. Then, his charming and maic voice sounded through the silence. “Ashlyn
shall be the only wife I have in this lifetime.”
His tone was cold, but it warmed up slightly at the mention of Ashlyn’s name.
The crowd stared at Lucas in shock.
He admits it! He finally admits it!
Hera also had a shocked expression as she looked at Jenny. She never realized that Jenny wanted
Lucas for herself too.
For a moment, Hera felt humiliated that she had fallen for Jenny’s lies.
Why was I so foolish as to believe that Jenny wanted to help me to win Lucas’ affection? Lucas is an
outstanding man, while Jennyes from a wealthy family. It should have been obvious that she
became an air stewardess for a few years because of him! How can I be so stupid as to not notice
Jenny’s true intention?
At the same time, Penelope was stunned too. “What did you say? A marriage alliance between the Holt
and Nn Family? No way! You can’t do that!”
I am now a member of the Count’s family. Thus, I am the only woman worthy of Lucas.
