My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 863

Chapter 863 Esteemed Guest

Jenny was already so jealous of Penelope's guest list, but she absolutely hated the fact that Ashlyn got to be by Lucas' side and became his wife!

Therefore, she intentionally provoked Ashlyn, “Are you intending to host some kind of event here too?”

She covered her mouth and sniggered with disdain. “Isn't Mr. Winsor an important enough guest for you? Yet you refuse to go in. Please don't tell me that you're expecting big shots.”

Naomi was so angry that her face turned red. “How dare you! You're too much. How can you say such things about Ashlyn! I—”

Ashlyn smiled. “They aren't big shots. Just a few friends. That's all.”

She paused, and her smile deepened. “Friends and guests are alike. It's meaningless to discriminate against them. Doing so will only make you appear low-class and rude.”

When those mocking words reached Jenny's ears, she became so furious that her neck turned red. Is Ashlyn trying to imply that I'm a rude person with a lousy character?

Just as she was about to tell Ashlyn off, a car suddenly appeared at the entrance of The Peacock.

A middle-aged man dressed in a silver-grey suit got out with two antique walnuts in his hands. There was an awe-inspiring presence about this man. The walnuts looked very smooth and shiny from the patina, and the carvings on them were very intricate.

Judging from their perfect appearance, those walnuts must be worth a lot. They were not ordinary walnuts.

“Walnuts? Is that the chairman of Magnecal Tech?”

“Gosh! Old Mr. Laith? No way!”

“What is he doing here? Is he here to attend Penelope's birthday banquet?”

Everyone was aware that holding two antique walnuts in his hands was a trademark of Harvey's. It was said that the two walnuts cost a lot of money and had been passed down for generations in the Laith family.

“Old Mr. Laith?” The moment Mary saw him, she was thrilled. Everyone who attended the banquet that day came because of Dixon. Mary did not expect that he would have the ability to get the chairman of Magnecal Tech to attend the function.

She had heard that the chairman of Magnecal Tech never attended banquets and the like because he found them to be too noisy.

Yet, he came this time around.
