“How could you snatch away the junior ballroom I reserved? Did you hook up with some rich man again?”
All of Mary’s effort beforehand to make herself look and sound like a sophisticated lady became futile the moment she saw Ashlyn step foot into the junior ballroom.
Her eyes were filled with resentment as she glared at Ashlyn. She badly wanted to feed the latter to the dogs.
Penelope also chided, “What right do you have to come here? You’re not worthy of this place. I don’t think you can even afford to stay here for one night!”
Both women hounded Ashlyn like a pair of mad dogs that wanted to rip Ashlyn’s head off in the next moment to vent out their anger and frustration.
“Where did these two psychos come from?” Shannon said angrily, “When did the security of a five-star hotel become this bad?”
“Maybe they’re just a pair of mad dogs,” Ashlyn replied nonchalantly as she shook Mary’s hands off.
She never expected to meet Mary and Penelope here.
How did the mother and daughter turn their lives around? They no longer have any source of income after Horace was placed behind bars. They can’t be this well off.
They look like the nouveau riche in their expensive jewelry and branded clothes.
Mary was especially arrogant and domineering today. Those who didn’t know any better would have thought she was a bully.
`Mary gritted her teeth and glared at Ashlyn. She was completely taken over by rage as she cursed, “Don’t think I can’t recognize you with your mask on. Stop acting!”
“Yeah, my mom’s right. You didn’t become some rich man’s mistress, did you? Is that why you’re wearing a mask?” Penelope mocked, “It’s only fitting for people like you to sleep with bald, old men in exchange for some money.”
Ashlyn couldn’t be bothered with the mother-daughter pair anymore. She merely looked at them and said, “Please give way; we’re going in.”
Mary smiled coldly, rolled her eyes, and blocked the entrance with her arms crossed. “You want to go in? Don’t even think about it. I was first to reserve this junior ballroom! Who do you think you are? You’re just a dirty bi***!”
The more she thought about it, the more enraged she became.
Ashlyn was the sole reason her husband was put behind bars and also the reason her company went bankrupt. Because of Ashlyn, Mary was made a laughing stock among Lake City’s socialites.
Mary loathed Ashlyn so much she wanted to skin her alive and drink her blood.
She couldn’t control herself anymore as she raised her hand to land another slap on Ashlyn’s face.
However, another hand grabbed hers before Ashlyn could even make a move.
The man wasn’t gentle with her at all as he threw her onto the ground.
Mary fell to the floor and pain shot up her tailbone.
Nevertheless, she quickly stood up and barked furiously, “Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me?”
“Throw her out.”
A man’s icy voice spoke up from behind.
Mary looked over in surprise and saw Lucas, dressed in a black suit, walking towards Ashlyn. He had cold eyes and a domineering presence. The corridor lighting made his handsome features even more prominent.
Each step he took sent chills down everyone’s spine.
He’s classy and elegant, yet cold and indifferent.
“M-Mr. Nolan? What are you doing here?” Mary widened her eyes in disbelief as her body trembled.
But then she quickly came back to her senses. So what if it’s Lucas Nolan? I’m now the daughter of the Count of Maredania. Why should I fear him?
She puffed out her chest and glared at Spencer, who had pushed her to the ground a moment ago. “Who do you think you are? How dare you treat me as such?”
She pulled Penelope over and said, “Mr. Nolan, do you know who we are right now? Do you still want to do business in Maredania? Huh? Nothing good will come to you if you offend us. I’m telling you, my daughter is a hundred times nobler than that bi*** Ashlyn!”
