Chapter 722
Charlotte stepped in and defended Ashlyn. “Ashlyn is not a thief. How could you accuse her when you don't even
have any evidence?”
I won't allow anyone to bully Ashlyn!
In the past, Ashlyn was the one who always had her back, but this time, out of nowhere, Charlotte found the
courage to defend Ashlyn.
She did not want anyone to ridicule and look down on Ashlyn.
Don't you dare try to bully Ashlyn. She's the best person in the world!
Jenny shot a death glare at Charlotte and Ashlyn. She got even more frustrated when she recalled how Lucas chose
to eat Ashlyn's food instead of hers.
She was determined to humiliate Ashlyn in public. I'm the one that the elders in the Nolan family have

“The necklace that Penelope held in her hands earlier was a gift from her uncle. It's worth millions, and you won't
be able to buy them!”
Ashlyn let out a cold snort and said nonchalantly, “Oh? Is that so?”
She spoke with little interest.
Olivia, who was doing her makeup halfway, went over to take a look upon hearing a commotion. She shot daggers
at Penelope and said, “It's just a necklace. Is it really that big of a deal?”
“That's a necklace by X Corporation, and it's worth a lot of money. I can even buy a house in a Tier-Three or Tier-
Four city with it! Besides, that necklace has to be ordered two months in advance. It's a gift from my Uncle Ryan. If
you refuse to return the necklace to me, Ashlyn, I'll have to call Uncle Ryan to come over!” Penelope sounded
condescending.
Ashlyn flashed a faint smirk.

Indeed, the prices of X Corporation's products from the affordable range were equivalent to that of a residential
unit in a Tier-Three or Tier-Four city.
On the other hand, the company's limited edition and products from the high-end range would be worth more than
a standard housing property.
“Charlotte Lynch, the necklace you're wearing now is mine!” Penelope pointed at the necklace that Ashlyn gifted to
Charlotte earlier and bellowed.
Everyone turned their attention to the necklace that dangled quietly on Charlotte's smooth chest.
Penelope approached Charlotte with a grim expression. She then grabbed the necklace and lifted it as if she was
going to pull it away from Charlotte's neck.
However, she froze for a moment when Charlotte unexpectedly defended herself. “This is not yours! Ashlyn gave it
to me!” the woman exclaimed in anger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Charlotte did become more cheerful and courageous recently, she was still a little afraid of the crowd.
She wished to defend Ashlyn, but fear eventually took over her. She began to take a few steps back and had no
idea how to handle the situation anymore.
“Don't be afraid of her! She can't do anything to you!” Olivia went up to Charlotte and nudged her shoulder to give
her confidence. “I believe in Ms. Berry. Why don't you take the necklace off to prove that it's not Penelope's!”
Charlotte was dumbfounded. She froze for a bit and stared at Olivia. I-I thought she hated me?
Isn't she Uncle Lochlan's fiancée? Why would she defend Ashlyn and encourage me?
I guess she's quite a nice person, after all. It just feels weird to think differently about a person.
Hera rolled her eyes and said, “What is there to prove? Ashlyn must have stolen the necklace!”
Jenny echoed, “Exactly! No matter how she defends herself, a thief is a thief!”
Meanwhile, Ashlyn looked calm, but there seemed to be an inexplicable expression on her gorgeous face.
She gazed into Penelope's eyes and asked, “Are you sure this is your necklace?”
Penelope took another glance at the necklace. The design was similar, but the jewelry piece on Charlotte's neck
was obviously more high-end than hers.
The diamonds that dotted the necklace reflected rays of the dazzling light in the room.
