Even Winsor was there.
However, once Penelope realized how casually they were dressed, she felt a little bit calmer. None of them looked like they were dressed for the occasion.
Mary, on the other hand, was still annoyed. Even the sight of Ashlyn could rub her the wrong way. She always had a niggling feeling that everything would go south as long as Ashlyn was around.
“What are you doing here?” Mary spat at Ashlyn coldly.
Ashlyn had already spotted Mary and Penelope when she arrived, but she hadn't spared them a second glance nor thrown any attention their way.
She just didn't feel the need to.
Suddenly, while she was in the middle of talking to Naomi, she heard an angry voice call out to her.
It sounded as if whoever it was wanted to skin her alive.
Ashlyn looked up nonchalantly and caught sight of Mary, Penelope, and a whole gaggle of other people walking in her direction.
It almost looked like they were a gang trying to start a street fight.
She rose a delicate eyebrow, completely unruffled by their ridiculous antics. Calmly, she asked, “Didn't you know? The Peacock is owned by Nolan Group.”
Tinsor and Blair were already preparing themselves for a fight the moment they saw so many extravagantly dressed people strutting their way.
However, Ashlyn was a force to be reckoned with even on her own.
Her simple reply left Mary speechless.
Lucas was the owner of The Peacock. Even though Imperial Hotel had been the most popular at one point, The Peacock's business was booming now that Imperial Hotel was gone.
Is there a problem with coming to my own restaurant? Ashlyn seemed to be asking as she looked at Mary haughtily.
“What did you just say?” Mary felt like someone had just smacked her upside the head.
