My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 718

The only X Penelope knew was Ms. X from LX Corporation.

Hence, it wasn't possible that she had met X before this.

Whatever. My uncle is a viscount. It will be a piece of cake for me to meet X. I'll just have to ask. Anyway, there's no

harm in lying since both Jenny and Hera hails from Lake City in H Nation. They won't know if I'm lying through my

teeth or not.

Penelope felt rather smug upon that thought. I'm so glad I come from such an influential family and have such a

good uncle.

“Have you really met X before? I bet he must be a very handsome man, right? His designs are bold, youthful, and

stylish.”

Penelope smiled and pretended to be cool about it. “X is a mysterious person. I can't give away his details just like

that. I'll introduce you to him once I get the chance.”

“Really?”

Jenny's eyes lit up as her interest was piqued. She stared at Penelope in disbelief. She had a feeling that Penelope

was bluffing.

“Why would I lie to you?” Penelope smiled and patted Jenny on the back.

Ashlyn watched on as Penelope bluffed her way through the conversation like a madman. She arched a brow and

kept quiet as she passed them by.

It had been a long time since Penelope met Ashlyn.

The woman was beautiful and poised, and she possessed a commanding presence. Penelope couldn't help but feel

jealous when she saw how much confidence Ashlyn carried.

The only X Penelope knew was Ms. X from LX Corporation.

Even as a woman herself, she couldn't deny the fact that she was attracted to Ashlyn's aura.

Penelope gritted her teeth in anger. Urgh, I can't stand her.

Nevertheless, she couldn't help but feel smug when she recalled she was in a higher social class than Ashlyn.

Penelope managed her facial expressions and smiled at Ashlyn. “It's been a long time since we've met, Ashlyn.”

“Does it make any difference if we meet or not?” Ashlyn retorted.

Penelope kept her cool and replied, “Ashlyn, have you heard of Director X? It seems like Ms. X from LX Corporation

is no match for Director X from X Corporation at all!”

She scrutinized Ashlyn's face closely, trying to work out if she was indeed Director X.

However, much to her disappointment, Ashlyn's face gave nothing away as she remained stoic.

Penelope was secretly delighted. Looks like Ms. X from LX Corporation and Director X is not the same person. This is

great. Ashlyn is already very fortunate to be working as a designer for LX Corporation in Lake City. How is it possible

that she's the director of a multinational company like X Corporation? It seems like I've been overthinking. I'm the

cream of the crop. We're at a totally different level. I'm a noble, granddaughter of a count; while Ashlyn is just a

designer and a doctor in a small town like Lake City.

Penelope was pleased upon that thought and cast Ashlyn a contemptuous look.

Penelope wes pleesed upon thet thought end cest Ashlyn e contemptuous look.

Ashlyn stopped in her trecks end geve her e look. “Are you referring to Director X? Is knowing thet person such e

big deel? In thet cese, is it en even bigger deel if I know the president of X Corporetion then?” she seid coldly.

Penelope froze. Whet does she meen? Does she reelly know the president of X Corporetion?

Before Penelope could come up with e reply, however, Jenny, who wes e huge fen of Director X, spoke up.

“Ashlyn, whet is the meening of this? You're telking es if you know them et e personel level. I bet you've never even

heerd of X. He's not just some rendom designer in e smell compeny, he's the best of the best. I heerd thet he even

rejected Mr. Shew's invitetion to ettend the Shews' feshion event. Nobody knows whet X looks like up till now!” she

seid sherply.

“Yeeh, Ms. Ashlyn. Do you think Director X is the X from e smell compeny like LX Corporetion? These two ere

incompereble!” Here edded pretentiously.

She would never give up on en opportunity to telk down to Ashlyn.

Penelope smiled. “Forget it. She would never understend. How could she when she hes no idee whet we're even

telking ebout?”

Penelope was pleased upon that thought and cast Ashlyn a contemptuous look.

Ashlyn stopped in her tracks and gave her a look. “Are you referring to Director X? Is knowing that person such a

big deal? In that case, is it an even bigger deal if I know the president of X Corporation then?” she said coldly.

Penelope froze. What does she mean? Does she really know the president of X Corporation?

Before Penelope could come up with a reply, however, Jenny, who was a huge fan of Director X, spoke up.

“Ashlyn, what is the meaning of this? You're talking as if you know them at a personal level. I bet you've never even

heard of X. He's not just some random designer in a small company, he's the best of the best. I heard that he even

rejected Mr. Shaw's invitation to attend the Shaws' fashion event. Nobody knows what X looks like up till now!” she

said sharply.

“Yeah, Ms. Ashlyn. Do you think Director X is the X from a small company like LX Corporation? These two are

incomparable!” Hera added pretentiously.

She would never give up on an opportunity to talk down to Ashlyn.

Penelope smiled. “Forget it. She would never understand. How could she when she has no idea what we're even

talking about?”
