A discreet smile formed on Ashlyn's lips as she watched Mary fume with anger.
“That lowly b*tch,” Mary cursed. “So what if she's married to Lucas? He's gone cuckoo with a split personality disorder. Who knows, he might even beat her to death one day!”
Mary couldn't help but think that Ashlyn might become a victim of Lucas' violence soon, given the rising cases of domestic violence and his frighteningly uncontrollable temper.
Don't be so smug just because you're Mrs. Nolan now.
Sienna had also noticed Ashlyn's behavior, and it sent chills down her spine.
Ashlyn wasn't as amiable as she used to be when they worked together at the Haddock Group Foundation.
The coldness in her eyes was almost chilling.
No wonder Dixon is so determined to get rid of Ashlyn. This woman shouldn't be taken lightly.
Sienna looked elegantly at Mary and Penelope. “Calm down, you two. We're surrounded by paparazzi.”
Penelope forced a smile for the cameras even though she was angry. “Mom, Ms. Oates is right. Keep in mind that many public figures are here on Mr. Haddock's invite.”
Ashlyn is just a mere Mrs. Nolan. Moreover, Lucas is ill. What can she do?
Penelope thought of Ashlyn with disgust.
“Mom, you're the Count's daughter...”
Mary let out a long sigh and kept quiet at that.
The guests Dixon had invited on behalf of Penelope and Mary soon arrived as it was approaching twelve noon.
“Mr. Watson, may I introduce Ms. Canter, daughter of Maredania's Count, and her daughter, Ms. Berry.”
“Welcome, Mr. Bush.”
“Today is Ms. Berry's birthday. I heard you have two single sons. Would you like me to introduce them to Ms. Berry? Your families would make a great match.”
Sienna showed off her impressive social skills, flitting around like a social butterfly.
