Chapter 959 Anniversary
Before Ashlyn could come back to her senses, Lucas pressed his lips against hers.
The next morning, before Ashlyn got out of bed, she received a call from Brand X's public relations director.
“My dear Ms. X, it's the brand's anniversary event today. Will you be able to make it? The president hopes that you'll
be able to show up at the event.”
Ashlyn chuckled. “I've never been allowed to appear in the anniversary events in the past years, so what's with the
change this year?”
“It's mainly because we've hired a few models for the brand this year, but it's also because a few stars from our
business partner will be on the runway for us,” the public relations director carefully said.
Hearing that, Ashlyn lifted a brow and fell silent for a while. She then said, “All right. I'll be there, but I won't be
there as a designer. I'll be there as Ashlyn Berry, got it?”
“Of course, of course. As long as you're willing to come,” the public relations director hastily said before ending the

Ashlyn was popular and a major contributor to the disaster relief efforts, so naturally, the higher-ups had nothing
but praise for her.
Even if she were not Brand X's designer—even if she were only the major contributor to the disaster relief—many
would still wish to catch a glimpse of her.
At three in the afternoon, Ashlyn and Cassandra drove to Rosalind's studio. Right as they arrived, they heard the
sounds of Lynette's news coming from the studio's television.
It irked Cassandra.
“Boss, are we really going to let Lynette do as she pleases? She's shamelessly coasting on your efforts non-stop!”
“She hasn't done anything concrete that's disrupting my life,” Ashlyn uttered in a flat tone. “It won't be too late for
us to intervene if she really does that. Now, she's only trying to gain fame by using my name, and if I were to mess
with her now, people would think that I was petty.”
“But this is so irritating. There's only one of you in this world, and no matter how much she looks like you, she's a
fraud!” Cassandra angrily cried out.
She despised Lynette and was disgusted by how Lynette shared the same family name as Ashlyn—Berry.
“Forget it. She's only getting called Lynlyn; she hasn't done anything outrageous,” Ashlyn said as she walked into
Rosalind's studio. “It really won't be too late for us to deal with her if she does something absurd.”
Cassandra nodded.
She had faith in Ashlyn.
After all, Ashlyn was no doormat. Anyone who dared to lay a finger on Ashlyn would receive a swift punch in return.
Upon entering Rosalind's studio, Ashlyn saw Rosalind, who was in a meeting. “Is my dress ready?”
Rosalind curled her lips and glanced at the time. “You're X Corporation's designer, but you're asking me for the
dress? Are you trying to ruin X Corporation's reputation?”
“Pah! It's just a dress. I'll wear another designer's dress if that's what I want, and I'll wear whatever brand I like,”
Ashlyn coldly said, sounding aggressive.
Rosalind immediately took a dress off the rack and said, “For you.”

Rosalind frowned. “Stop with the act. You were the one who invested in my studio back then, and I've always given
you my clothes for free. Paying me now will be insulting me!”
Right then, Cassandra, who barely slept well the night before, yawned. “That's enough. Stop messing around. The
event's about to start.”
X Corporation's event would start at seven in the evening, and Ashlyn had arrived at six in the evening.
Brand X had been one of the top-tier brands in the country.
Not only were they having an event for their anniversary, but they even invited quite a number of celebrities and
several famous models for the opening and closing shows.
All of the models, naturally, were wearing X Corporation's new clothes.
The moment Ashlyn arrived, the public relations director ran over. “Ms. Berry!”
“Hmm?” Ashlyn raised her brow at him. “Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?”
“Well... Mr. Shaw is asking for you to walk the runway for the opening show. Are you okay with that?” the public
relations director tentatively asked her, his wish for her to accept it visible on his face. Ashlyn had a pretty face and
a slender body. However, she was about a hundred and seventy centimeters tall—a little short for modeling
standards.
