My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 862

Chapter 862

Penelope was very busy that night as she took photos with one bigshot after another.

Naturally, Winsor was aware that Penelope’s guests were all high-profile people. He rubbed his nose and asked, “Ms. Ashlyn, do we still have other guests? If not…”

It would be better if they went to their private room rather than remain there.

The stunning woman responded with a clear voice, “Oh, we do have more guests. Just hold on for a moment longer.”

Just then, Jenny came over to Ashlyn and said, “Ms. Ashlyn, Ms. Penelope is the star today. I’m not sure what you are doing here, but… if you want to eat with us, I’m sure we can add another set of cutlery.”

Deep down, Jenny was jealous of Penelope’s guest list. However, there was nothing she could do about it, so she vented her frustration on Ashlyn.

The moment she said that, it attracted the attention of many people around them.

After all, Ashlyn was just too outstanding.

Even though she was not dressed in any stylish gowns, nor did she have any heavy makeup on, her mere presence was overwhelming.

Initially, no one on Penelope’s side was paying any attention to Ashlyn. They were more focused on Penelope’s important guests, particularly those gorgeous celebrities.

However, when they suddenly spotted Ashlyn standing there, they found her utterly breathtaking!

Her beautiful eyes looked cold. It was as though she had seen everything in this world and could not care less.

Light makeup had been applied on her fair skin, and her crimson lips resembled soft flower petals. Even though she was wearing a simple dress shirt, it looked drop-dead gorgeous on her.

No matter if it was her figure, her looks, or her aura, she attracted everybody’s attention, even in the presence of those beautiful women in showbiz.

Penelope and Jenny stood there and heard everyone whispering.

“Ashlyn is truly beautiful.”

“Her aura is outstanding too! In the past, I thought her photos on the Internet were airbrushed. Now that I’ve seen her in person, I can tell she’s a natural beauty.”

“What a stunning woman! Isn’t it a pity for someone as gorgeous as she is to get married so young?”

“I heard she has been married to Lucas for a few years now. Lucas married her because of her looks, right?”

Lost in their gossiping about Ashlyn, they completely ignored the star of the day, Penelope.

Penelope stood there and bit her lip in humiliation. As long as Ashlyn was around, she would always seem insignificant.

That made her very unhappy.

Even Jason was looking at Ashlyn. “I heard Ashlyn and you are sisters. Perhaps—”

The instant Penelope heard that, she gritted her teeth and became irritated.

Is Ashlyn also going to vie for my godfather’s love?

She had no choice but to interrupt Jason, “Godfather, Ashlyn has a weird temper. In the past, her favorite hobby was bullying me. I-I don’t dare to speak to her.”

Jason was a cunning man and knew what Penelope was up to.

He sneered secretly and found her distasteful.

Jason was used to the fighting that invariably went on in showbiz.

However, he did not expect to see the same thing happening among the socialites.

After Penelope finished talking, she realized that she had made it seem as though she was afraid of Ashlyn. In the end, she decided to walk up to her half-sister and said, “You have been standing here for quite a while now. Why didn’t you go in?”

Ashlyn glanced at her blankly before replying coldly, “I’m waiting for someone.”

Short, sharp, and straight to the point.

It might have been a simple sentence, but it seemed to have an intimidating effect.

In that instant, Penelope looked upset, and her chest started to hurt. She pretended to look aggrieved and said, “Godfather, this is what I meant. Every time I say something, she will—”

“Just look at Ashlyn’s attitude. It’s disgusting. Who does she think she is?” Jenny also chimed in.
