Chapter 863 Esteemed Guest
Jenny was already so jealous of Penelope's guest list, but she absolutely hated the fact that Ashlyn got to be by
Lucas' side and became his wife!
Therefore, she intentionally provoked Ashlyn, “Are you intending to host some kind of event here too?”
She covered her mouth and sniggered with disdain. “Isn't Mr. Winsor an important enough guest for you? Yet you
refuse to go in. Please don't tell me that you're expecting big shots.”
Naomi was so angry that her face turned red. “How dare you! You're too much. How can you say such things about
Ashlyn! I—”
Ashlyn smiled. “They aren't big shots. Just a few friends. That's all.”
She paused, and her smile deepened. “Friends and guests are alike. It's meaningless to discriminate against them.
Doing so will only make you appear low-class and rude.”
When those mocking words reached Jenny's ears, she became so furious that her neck turned red. Is Ashlyn trying
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto imply that I'm a rude person with a lousy character?
Just as she was about to tell Ashlyn off, a car suddenly appeared at the entrance of The Peacock.
A middle-aged man dressed in a silver-grey suit got out with two antique walnuts in his hands. There was an awe-
inspiring presence about this man. The walnuts looked very smooth and shiny from the patina, and the carvings on
them were very intricate.
Judging from their perfect appearance, those walnuts must be worth a lot. They were not ordinary walnuts.
“Walnuts? Is that the chairman of Magnecal Tech?”
“Gosh! Old Mr. Laith? No way!”
“What is he doing here? Is he here to attend Penelope's birthday banquet?”
Everyone was aware that holding two antique walnuts in his hands was a trademark of Harvey's. It was said that the
two walnuts cost a lot of money and had been passed down for generations in the Laith family.
“Old Mr. Laith?” The moment Mary saw him, she was thrilled. Everyone who attended the banquet that day came
because of Dixon. Mary did not expect that he would have the ability to get the chairman of Magnecal Tech to
attend the function.
She had heard that the chairman of Magnecal Tech never attended banquets and the like because he found them
to be too noisy.
Yet, he came this time around.
In an instant, Mary was filled with pride and joy.
The computers produced by Magnecal Tech were the global top-selling products year after year. It would not be far-
fetched to say that the majority of households used Magnecal Tech products.
Regardless, Magnecal Tech had always been a low-profile company. As far as the world was concerned, the
company was shrouded in mystery.
This was particularly so for the chairman, who hardly ever showed up in public.
What is he doing here?
Basking in an air of glee and excitement, Mary walked over quickly. “Old Mr. Laith, you're here! Thank you for
gracing us with your presence. This is our greatest honor ever. I have no idea what my daughter has done to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdeserve this. I...”
She even pretended to cry and wipe her tears.
Her behavior was so disgusting, to the point that even Kate and Jason felt like puking.
Mary is, after all, a daughter of the Count's family. How can she behave in such a repulsive manner?
Has she forgotten about her upbringing? How can she behave like this just because Old Mr. Laith is wealthy?
That's sickening!
One could not help but wonder whether the Count did not host the birthday banquet for Penelope because they
looked down on the mother-daughter duo.
Even so, the others had no choice but to greet Harvey.
After all, he was a man of status and position. Magnecal Tech was the real deal as Harvey had built his company
from scratch!
The sole reason Kate came to the banquet was due to Dixon. Upon seeing that even Harvey had been invited, she
felt a whole lot better. It would be beneficial for Fraser Corporation if she could become acquaintances with Harvey.
Ha! Who cares about Ashlyn and Lucas? They're nobodies when compared to Magnecal Tech!
