My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 874

Chapter 874

But how do I feel superior to others if I don’t compare? How will other people know that I’m a cut above them?

The feeling that Penelope wanted was to be high and mighty. She desperately wished for Ashlyn to be the mud on the ground while she was the phoenix in the sky.

Attempting to lighten the awkward atmosphere, Mary stood up and raised her wine glass. Her face appeared stiff as she forced a smile. “Mr. Haddock, let me give you a toast. Thank you very much for organizing a birthday celebration for my daughter.”

Dixon arched his brows. Although this mother-daughter duo knows the rules of the game, they aren’t intelligent either. But, this is the kind of people who are the easiest to control. As long as I get hold of their weaknesses, they will be my puppets.

At the thought of his plan, Dixon laughed. He showed equal respect by raising his glass and returning the toast. “Don’t stand on ceremony with me. Now that the collaboration between Haddock Group and Yates Group has been cemented, we’re considered family now.”

“It’s our honor to work with Haddock Group.” Mary’s face no longer looked so sullen. She could already imagine Bianca’s face once she brought this collaboration back to the Yates family.

I must show those fools at Yates Group what I’m capable of. I can help Yates Group bring in money too. I’m surely more worthy than those useless bums!

Sheer glee flooded Mary at the thought.

Penelope felt better after seeing the positive interaction between Dixon and Mary.

The atmosphere in the room gradually lightened and became more relaxed.

All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door.

Everyone turned their heads toward the door almost in unison.

The door was pushed open, and a handsome young man with an unruly expression stood at the doorway. He had a charming smile, and his pretty eyes were slanted ever so slightly. In a frivolous tone, he asked, “Tsk, where is my sweet Zero?”

The man was holding a fan. If he dressed in an ancient costume, he would look like a wealthy heir of a traditional family with playboy vibes.

The next moment, he flicked his wrist and opened the fan with a snap. He casually waved his fan a few times, which made him look even more free-spirited.

Mary stared at him in shock before asking Dixon cautiously, “Mr. Haddock, who is this man? Is he one of your guests?”

Dixon did not know this man either. However, a hint of doubt flashed across his feminine face at the sight of the open fan.

A handheld fan? In this day and age, why would someone bring a fan out? It’s not as if we’re living in ancient times.

Dixon began to go through his memories, trying to recall if he knew someone who liked to bring a fan. He seemed to recall hearing about such a person somewhere.

Unfortunately, he could not remember exactly who it was.

Dixon calmly asked, “May I know who you are?”

Just then, Sienna recognized who the man was. Her face started to flush with excitement. Grabbing Dixon’s arm tightly, she stammered, “Dixon… Isn’t he Flying Fish of Mysterious yet Majestic? I heard Flying Fish brings a fan wherever he goes. The fan is an antique and worth a fortune.”

“Flying Fish?” Dixon was startled at what he heard. Mysterious yet Majestic was a secret existence and consisted of highly talented individuals. The leaders, in particular, possessed impressive abilities.

Among them, Zero was the most capable!

Legend had it there was nothing that Zero could not accomplish.

To think that Flying Fish appeared here, at The Peacock. How is that possible? Dixon could not wrap his head around the reason behind Flying Fish’s sudden presence.

Sienna could not remain calm. She approached Flying Fish excitedly and asked, “May I ask if you are… Mr. Flying Fish?”

Never in her wildest dream did she expect Flying Fish to appear there.

According to rumors, Flying Fish was handsome and often dressed in white with a fan in his hand. The fan had the signature of an ancient calligrapher.

It was a single word “Bridge.”

She walked closer to take a look at the signature on his fan and became more thrilled when she saw the word “Bridge” on it.

“Are you here to attend the birthday banquet too?” Sienna inquired further.

I wonder if he deliberately came here to our private room. It’ll be great if he is. If Dixon can spread his connections to Mysterious yet Majestic, his future life will be smooth sailing. Wild thoughts ran through

Sienna’s mind.
