My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 777

“I also don’t know… I don’t have any talents when it comes to music,” Penelope replied in a small voice as her face flushed with embarrassment.

Her timid demeanor was at odds with her peers’ graceful behavior.

She was acting in an overly plebeian manner.

Bianca grew upset when she saw that.

However, when she thought about how Penelope was her descendant, she swallowed her anger and tried to calm down.

“Which school did you graduate from? It seems like you spent all your time studying instead, right?” the same relative asked again.

Penelope blushed even harder. She was on the verge of tears. “I-I studied how to become a nurse in university.”

“I heard you two once lived in Lake City. Did you graduate from T University? That’s pretty good.” The older relatives knew T University was a famous medical school. Some Maredania residents even enrolled there to study medicine.

“T University is pretty good. I heard they even invited a famous surgical expert to hold a lecture there about half a year ago. I think her last name was Berry. Anyway, the video on that lecture garnered over a hundred million views on the internet. I heard it was a very interesting class. My son is studying to be a doctor there.”

Another older relative added, “That expert was really young too. Not only that, she’s pretty. I forgot what her name was. Was that person you? My son admires her a lot. She apparently took H Nation by

storm. I heard she also recently invested in a movie that’s in cinemas right now. Maredania is going to have showings for that movie soon. I think it’s called Trashy Idol?”

Penelope felt like she was going crazy.

She was feeling so jealous that she was digging her nails into her palm, almost causing blood to flow out. Why is that b*tch Ashlyn still taking the spotlight even after I’ve come to Maredania? Why am I still being compared to her even after I’m already in the Yates family? I don’t understand why I’m always living under her shadow!

Mary’s expression froze when she heard that. She instantly understood the relatives were talking about Ashlyn.

In response to that, she took a deep breath and suppressed her desire to throw wine toward that relative’s face. Then she smiled. “Yeah. That lecture was indeed held by my daughter. I didn’t expect it would get so many views. Penelope likes to keep a low profile, so we never knew about that.”

Penelope stared wide-eyed at her mother. She whispered, “What are you saying, Mom? That’s Ashlyn’s lecture!”

Mary smiled warmly and replied in a tiny voice, “So what if I lie about it? It’s not like Ashlyn’s here! They don’t know who she is either!”

Penelope steeled herself and squeezed out an ugly smile at the relatives. “Thank you for the praise.”

The moment she finished, she quickly lowered her head as she felt very guilty.

Bianca couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows once more after witnessing Mary and Penelope’s performance.

Based on what she knew about them, if Penelope really was a medical expert, Mary would’ve mentioned it a long time ago instead of keeping it a secret until then.

When she noticed the way Penelope was avoiding everyone’s eyes, it was pretty obvious to her that the young woman was feeling guilty.

Bianca couldn’t help but shake her head. I bet that expert with the last name Berry is someone else.

For the past few days, Mary and Penelope had been talking to her about another child in the Berry family.

After seeing how Penelope was acting, Bianca’s impression of Ashlyn instantly worsened. Is this how the Berry family raises their children? Penelope’s upbringing must be awful. Since Ashlyn was raised in the countryside, I bet she’s even worse than Penelope. In fact, I’m certain that the expert with the last name Berry isn’t Ashlyn.

Even though it was her birthday banquet, she was getting quite pissed off.

She thought about it and asked, “Didn’t you also invite your mother-in-law? Why isn’t she here yet?”

“She’s arriving soon. I’ve sent a driver to pick her up.” Mary was enjoying the admiration the crowd was showing her as she held her head high. So what if I don’t know how to play the piano? My daughter is a medical expert!

“I didn’t expect Ms. Berry to be able to hold a lecture at T University at such a young age,” a random relative commented.
