My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 719

Chapter 719

She's just a doctor with a small web of connections. She's nothing but a small fry.

At most, she's a designer under LX Fashion. Even then, that background of hers is nothing compared to mine as the granddaughter of a Count.

What right does she have to stand here talking to me about the director and president of X Corporation? It's probably difficult for her to even go overseas.

Ashlyn arched her brow as she trained her cold gaze on Penelope. “Penelope, since you've met Director X before, has the director ever given you anything?”

Confusion crossed Penelope's face at Ashlyn's question.

I've never even met Director X before. So there's no way in hell I would have received anything.

Despite being clueless, Penelope continued on with her act. “It was difficult for me to meet the director since I wasn't close to him, but Uncle Ryan knows him well. The director did give Uncle Ryan a gift before.”

“Really? May I know what the gift was?”

The corner of Ashlyn's eyes raised slightly, exuding a charming vibe.

“J-Just a gold-plated business card,” Penelope lied, thinking that since Ashlyn didn't know Ryan, she wouldn't be able to clarify with him. There's no way a woman like her can possibly know a world-renowned pianist like Ryan.

“Well, I'm sorry to say that Director X never hands out business cards.” Ashlyn shot her a knowing grin.

She's just a doctor with a small web of connections. She's nothing but a small fry.

X would usually present a self-made embroidered handkerchief with an X on the bottom right corner of it during the first meeting.

“How would you know? You're just bluffing, aren't you? You're talking like you're close to X,” Penelope barked.

With an annoyed glance at Ashlyn, she purposely said, “Since we used to be sisters, let me give you some advice. Don't try to show off because if someone exposes you, you'll be embarrassed.”

Ashlyn snickered as she stared at Penelope like she was a joke.

Is there something wrong with this woman's mind? I was just asking if Director X had given her anything. Yet she's accusing me of being a showoff?

Before she could refute, Penelope acted as though she was worried for Ashlyn's sake and expressed, “You never even been abroad before and stayed at Lake City your whole life, so how could you possibly know Director X? How would you even know whether the director even gave me anything? You're speaking like you've received something from X before.”

Ashlyn snapped, “Do I even need X's gifts? Hah! What a joke!”

Before Penelope could react, Ashlyn had turned on her heels and left.
