My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 856

Chapter 856 Outshine

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 to compare herself to Jenny.

Suddenly, a car stopped next to them.

Penelope and Mary hurried over to greet the newcomer, 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 stature commanded attention, while his almond eyes seemed to constantly be fixed in a cold stare.

His gaze finally landed 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 is coming?

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 were complete idiots.

Dixon almost couldn't believe she and Ashlyn were related, 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 plan anyway.

Besides, the plan within a plan 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 who comes, 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.”
