Ashlyn nodded. “I'll invite them for a meal next time. I have a few girl friends who are nice that I can introduce to them... as long as they don't mind their women fierce.”
They won't mind fiery petite women, right? Hopefully.
Meanwhile, Cassandra, who just got out of the car, sneezed. Is someone talking about me behind my back?
Harvey's smile grew wider at Ashlyn's words. “I'm sure they won't! It's good that girls nowadays know some form of self-defense skills. They can protect themselves in dangerous situations and against domestic violence.”
The two talked comfortably without minding the others, but their conversation astounded the crowd.
Everyone's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets from the shock.
What did he mean by buying luxury goods from every brand and sending them over?
Winsor was also stunned by Harvey's generosity. He had heard about the industrial park that Magnecal Tech invested in. In fact, many large corporations were eagerly anticipating renting a place at the park. They figured their work could be made easier with the modernized high-tech facilities.
Yet Harvey just gave it to Ashlyn as though it was nothing important.
Meanwhile, jealousy had gripped Penelope and Mary in a tight vise.
They thought Harvey's present was merely a luxury good at first. At most, it would be something slightly more expensive. Yet, they never thought the bag contained a license for a car racing team and the property rights to an industrial park.
What exactly is Ashlyn's relation to Magnecal Tech? No matter how close they are, Harvey shouldn't gift her such extravagant presents!
Mary felt her blood pressure rising at the scene. She had always desired wealth and status, but why was it always Ashlyn who got them?
She had been chasing after fame all her life, but why did everything have to be stolen by Ashlyn?
