Chapter 869


    “Yeah. My skin is more radiant and glowing than before too!” Charlotte answered cheerily.


    A grin broke out on Fae’s face. “It’s such a pleasure to see you young people. It’s as if time has turned


    back, and I’ve reverted to my youth again.”


    Nearby, L’s gaze was trained on Charlotte, but he couldn’t muster the courage to approach her.


    His heart clenched at the sight of her until Kate pinched his arm, the sharp pain jolting him out of his


    reverie. His eyes flew to his mother. “What are you doing, Mom?”


    Kate almost blew a gasket at Olivia’s earlier action.


    How dare Olivia snub me! And she is best friends with Charlotte now?


    Fury simmered beneath the surface of her skin, nearly driving her insane.


    “What’s wrong with you? The Warhol family is perfect. How could you let Olivia leave to befriend


    Charlotte? You disappointed me, L!”


    Kate would have berated L further if there wasn’t an audience.


    She regretted attending this birthday celebration for Dixon’s sake. All that had brought her was


    humiliation, and right in front of everyone too.


    Damn you to hell, Olivia and Charlotte! Damn you straight to hell!


    A red smear of wrath colored her vision, and she almost went crazy because she couldn’t vent.


    Mary and Penelope were disconcerted when James and his family arrived.


    The mayor… Is he serious now? How could he be here for Ashlyn’s birthday celebration?


    When Penelope noticed how tall and handsome Joseph was, she burned with jealousy. She couldn’t


    understand why all the attractive men seemed to flock to Ashlyn.


    How infuriating!


    Harvey stilled when he caught sight of James, which didn’t go unnoticed by Ashlyn.


    “This is my brother-inw, James. James, this is Old Mr. Laith,” Ashlyn introduced.


    Brother-inw… She referred to the mayor as her brother-inw!


    Kate already knew Ashlyn had an unusual rtionship with the Field family, but she was still taken


    aback to hear Ashlyn say “brother-inw,” and so was everyone else.


    Mr. Field is her brother-inw? She’s Mrs. Field’s sister? Oh my God, that’s amazing!


    James stretched his arm to shake Harvey’s hand. “How are you, Old Mr. Laith?”


    “I’m doing just fine.” Harveyughed, exchanging pleasantries.


    Ashlyn thought it was rather meaningless and inappropriate for everyone to stand around the entrance


    talking, especially for men of status like James and Harvey.


    “Why don’t you all head in first? I’m still waiting for a few friends.”


    “It’s fine; everyone is having fun here. Or do you find us old-timers obnoxious?” Harvey frowned,


    injecting feigned anger into his tone.


    Ashlyn nted him a look. “So the rumors of you not liking noisy asions are unfounded. You appear


    to love socializing.”


    “It all depends on the asion and who’s the host, of course,” Harvey replied proudly.

    A ck car screeched to a stop in front of The Peacock, and a young man around thirty years old slid


    out of the vehicle.


    He was extremely attractive. Dressed in a casual id shirt and jeans, a pair of leather shoes


    completed his outfit.


    His attire was casual yet refined.


    L was surprised at the man’s appearance. “It’s him!”


    “Do you know him?” Kate arched a brow.


    “He got the firefighters from a neighboring city to help put out the fire at Imperial Hotelst time,” he


    answered, the memories still fresh in his mind.


    This man is not to be underestimated.


    “You came,” Ashlyn greeted Quiet Forest neutrally. They hadn’t spoken muchst time since he was


    busy putting out the fire. However, they did find out from that incident that they both resided in Lake


    City.


    He stood in front of her, his gaze roaming across her face as he studied her features and appreciated


    her beauty.


    Everyone in Mysterious yet Majestic expected him toe and see Zero.
