Chapter 879


    She hastened to catch up with Ashlyn and blocked thetter’s path. With a crazed expression, she


    demanded, “Ashlyn, did you do it on purpose? What are you trying to do, huh?” She ruined my birthday


    party and deliberately invited all the big shots and stole my thunder. “You’re just trying to aggravate me.


    Since when do we share the same birthday?”


    Ashlyn snickered. “You’re right. When have you, Mary, or Horace ever cared about how I’m doing? Of


    course we share the same birthday. When you were blowing out candles and happily counting your


    gifts, I was brushed off to the kitchen to eat your leftovers! Penelope, nobody in the Berry family


    remembers that we share the same birthday! I just gave you a small taste of what I have in store for


    you and you can’t even handle it already?”


    Ashlyn couldn’t help but scorn when she thought of the suffering she had endured back when she was


    with the Berrys.


    Penelope shook her head in exasperation. “You did it on purpose. You wanted to humiliate and retaliate


    against me!”


    Ashlyn is such a scheming woman to have picked today out of all days. She’s despicable.


    Penelope had been unsure of how she had managed to escape the private room. She had felt lost in a


    daze as the world spun around her, leaving her disoriented and confused.


    When she reached the restroom and saw that Ashlyn was there too, all of her emotions—anger,


    indignation, hatred—came flooding out.


    I’m already the youngdy of the Yates family, and yet I still have to live under the shadow of Ashlyn!


    Since young, not only was Ashlyn pretty and intelligent, but the boys that Penelope had crushes on


    would only have eyes for Ashlyn. It was always Ashlyn.


    It was the same in their university days as well. Ashlyn could get into the best university, and she could


    only get into a mediocre one.


    Penelope felt that fate had always handed her the shorter end of the stick.


    Not only had Ashlyn stolen her ce as the eldest daughter of the Berry family, but Ashlyn’s mother


    had also done the same by stealing Mary’s ce in the Berry family.

    And now Ashlyn was trying to walk all over her.


    Penelope wailed at the top of her lungs, “Ashlyn, I hate you! What do you want from me? You’ve been


    taking everything from me since we were kids. Isn’t that enough? Why do you have to bully me on my


    birthday? Listen well, I’m the youngdy of the Yates family, and you’ll never be able to measure up to


    me. You’re just a lowlife. No matter what you do, you can never be a part of the real aristocracy like the


    Yates family. You can only look up to us, but you’ll never belong—”


    Before she could finish her sentence, a crisp, loud p could be heard.


    Penelope was dazed from the momentum of the p and took some time to finally regain her


    composure when she felt the hot, searing pain on her cheeks.


    She widened her eyes in disbelief at Ashlyn. “You hit me!”


    Ashlyn merely looked at her impassively as if she was no more than an insignificant speck of dust.


    “Consider that a wake-up call. I don’t want you to act like a deranged woman.”


    Penelope’s blood boiled. She wanted to fight back, but she was pressed down hard onto the sink with a


    swing of Ashlyn’s hand.


    Her disheveled face was pressed against the cold sink, and her hands were crossed behind her by


    Ashlyn. She gritted her teeth and barked, “What are you doing?”


    The chilling water droplets on the sink were going to smear the makeup on her face.


    Her eyes went crimson from fury as she red at Ashlyn. “I’m going to tell Uncle Ryan and Granny! I’ll


    have theme over and get back at you for me!”


    “Do you think you’re in the kindergarten, where parentse to settle your fights?” At the sight of


    Penelope struggling to free herself, Ashlyn abruptly retracted her hands.


    Penelope didn’t see iting and plopped right down onto the cold floor.


    Her hatred for Ashlyn intensified. How is she so beautiful and strong? Why does she always get all the


    good things in life?


    No matter what, Penelope could never do anything to Ashlyn, and that feeling was driving her insane.


    “Ashlyn, how did youe to know Old Mr. Laith?”


    Ashlyn raised a brow. “Do you think I’ll tell you?”


    Penelope’s face stiffened. She softened her tone as she said, “Ashlyn, we’re sisters, and sisters fight.


    All siblings fight growing up. Let’s set aside our past disagreements and focus on what really matters.


    Could you… introduce me to Old Mr. Laith?”
