Chapter 856
In truth, Penelope was pretty unimpressed by Jenny. Compared to herself, Jenny was just some Lake
City socialite who was still living under a rock.
Despite that, she basked in the glory of being able topare herself to Jenny.
Suddenly, a car stopped next to them.
Penelope and Mary hurried over to greet the neer, who was none other than Dixon.
He was dressed in a gunmetal grey suit, and his dark features seemed to radiate a chill that was
prevalent even under the sun.
His tall staturemanded attention, while his almond eyes seemed to constantly be fixed in a cold
stare.
His gaze finallynded on Penelope, who smiled graciously. “It’s great to see you, Mr. Haddock.”
“Ms. Berry, the man you’ve always admired, Jason Harris, is on his way. He also mentioned that he
would be bringing two of his friends to join in the fun.”
Jason ising?
Jason Harris was a movie star who was already immensely famous, having won a Best Actor Award
before. Even Jonathan, who was a renowned idol, had to show respect to a celebrity like him.
Penelope hadn’t imagined that Dixon was willing to invite Jason to her birthday party. Her hands were
shaking with anticipation.
Her heart was beating a mile a minute as she looked at Dixon a little shyly. “Mr. Haddock, would you
happen to know who those two friends are?”
“No, I don’t,” Dixon replied emotionlessly.
He had only decided to throw Penelope a birthday banquet after figuring out that Lucas and Ashlyn
were investigating him.
Penelope and her mother wereplete idiots.
Dixon almost couldn’t believe she and Ashlyn were rted, even if they were only half-sisters.
That was why he really couldn’t care less about who Jason was bringing.
Putting on a bit of a show was all part of his n anyway.
Besides, the n within a n was what made everything even more fun.
Above all, he wanted to know how Ashlyn would react.
Mary was a little too overexcited. “Mr. Haddock, thank you so much for throwing Penelope this birthday
party! No matter whoes, we’ll still be incredibly grateful for your generosity.”
Dixon’s expression remained cold even though his tone was gentle. “You’re too kind, Ms. Canter.”
Sienna suddenly appeared in an eggshell white dress that was subtle yet elegant. Her stunningly good
looks made her stand out in the crowd despite her seemingly simple dress.
She approached Penelope and handed her a jewelry box. “Happy birthday, Ms. Penelope.”
Penelope took one look at the logo on the box before her smile went from courteous to ecstatic. “Thank
you so much, Ms. Oates.”
She opened the box to take a quick look, only to see a pair of pearl earrings shining back at her. They
were an understated design but still elegant and timeless. Despite the understated design, they
definitely cost a pretty penny since they were from X Corporation.
That was why Penelope was smiling so brightly.
“Don’t thank me, thank Mr. Haddock instead. This was his idea.” Despite Sienna’s casual tone, her
heart was clenching slightly.
She could no longer understand Dixon.
She couldn’t for the life of her figure out why he was getting involved with Penelope and her mother.
The two of them were clearly gold diggers.
Suddenly, Mary caught sight of Ashlyn standing not too far away from them. In shock, she gasped,
“Ashlyn?”
Winsor and Tinsor were next to Ashlyn, as were Naomi and ir.

What is going on?
Dixon and the others turned to look in Ashlyn’s direction after hearing Mary’s exmation.
Dressed in a simple ck button-down and a pair of jeans, she had chosen to finish off the look with a
in pair of white shoes.
Compared to Penelope and everyone else around her, she looked extremely underdressed.
Despite her clothes, though, her pretty face and demeanor shone through and made her outfit seem
even more shy than any dress could have been
She looked like the main character of aic book.
Even such a simple outfit looked stunning on her and ttered her perfectly.
Even though she was just standing there normally, it looked like she was ready for a magazine shoot.
Penelope and the others simply couldn’t hold a candle to her.
Penelope felt as though her heart was being put through a blender at the sight of Ashlyn’s gorgeous
face.
She dug her nails into her palm in an attempt to force herself to calm down.
What is she doing here? Why is she surrounded by so many people?
