Chapter 725

Hearing that, Joseph was so furious that his chest hurt.

He desperately wished to rush there and send Jenny flying with a kick.

On the other hand, Charlotte’s face turned pale. The wound that was wrapped with thin gauze throbbed with pain. She did not know whether the necklace Ashlyn gave her was expensive. But even if it was cheap, it was still a sincere gift from Ashlyn. Therefore, it was still a priceless treasure to Charlotte.

“How can you measure the value of a gift with money? Sincerity is priceless!” Charlotte argued.

“Only the poor would talk about the thoughts behind a cheap gift… Furthermore, why would anyone give something that expensive to a lowly person like you? You mistake a fake necklace for a treasure, yet you dare to blame others? Isn’t this too unreasonable?” Jenny looked down at Charlotte and mocked, her gaze filled with disdain.

She is twisting the truth and forcing her logic. It was Penelope who started accusing Ashlyn and me for no reason. Now, Jenny made it seem like Ashlyn and I are in the wrong.

Charlotte trembled with fury.

Suddenly, Olivia raised her hand and slapped Jenny’s face hard.

“Do you even know how to recognize a Brand X Jewelry? Have you ever seen one before? The Holt family is nothing compared to the Warhol family! Moreover, Charlotte is my rival in love! Anyone who dares to bully her amounts to offending me!” Olivia said and glanced at Ashlyn as if seeking her approval.

Did I perform good enough?

The crowd was stunned.

No one expected to witness such an intense scene.

They were excited to see what would happen after Olivia slapped Jenny in public.

Meanwhile, Jenny widened her eyes and stared at Olivia in disbelief.

She could feel her cheeks burning with pain, and her head felt dizzy from the force of Olivia’s slap.

Since people knew she was the daughter of the Holt family, it felt even more humiliating to be shamed before the public.

“Olivia, you crazy b*tch! How dare you hit her?” Hera could not help but shout.

“How could you hit her? Can’t we talk in a civil manner?” Penelope was shocked by the slap and immediately came out of her daze.

It seemed the confrontation had gone out of control.

Just then, Eric, one of the organizers, rushed toward Ashlyn and the others. Lucas came over with him too.

Soon, Lucas’ tall figure caught everyone’s attention.

Although he wore a simple black shirt and pants, he seemed intimidating as he glanced at the crowd.

One could not help but shudder from his piercing gaze.

“What is happening here?” Eric felt his temple throbbing when he saw the crowd gathered backstage.

He had a bad feeling when he saw the ever troublesome Hera.

Why does this woman from the Chapman family always cause trouble?

The crowd turned silent. No one dared to speak.

Suddenly, Ashlyn smiled and said, “Every jewelry that Director X designed has a double X logo. The logo is a big X with a small X beneath it.”

After saying that, she helped Charlotte unfasten the necklace and showed it to the crowd.

“Please look closely. There is a small X underneath the big X.” Then, Ashlyn narrowed her eyes at Penelope. “Since you have met Director X through your uncle’s recommendation, how can you not know about this? Furthermore…”

Ashlyn turned to Ryan with an amused smile. “Mr. Yates, everyone knows that any guest who met with Director X would receive a handkerchief Director X embroidered personally. It is the same for every guest, regardless of social standing or gender. Mr. Yates, since you have met Director X, did you receive a handkerchief? Can you show it to us?”

Penelope’s face grew red as she listened to Ashlyn.

She was so embarrassed that she wished the ground would swallow her.

When she lied just now, she did not expect Ashlyn to confirm the truth of the matter with Ryan.

Ryan’s expression darkened upon hearing Ashlyn. Fury burned in his chest.

He glared at Penelope, livid. Never in the history of the Yates family has anyone humiliated the family reputation this way.
