My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)
Chapter 728

Chapter 728

Ashlyn could not help but smile as she turned her gaze on Olivia. Coupled with her alluring eyes, her smile was like a flower blossoming in the springtime, filling the room with the breath of a spring breeze.

Olivia was mesmerized.

What... what a pretty smile. She had never known that a woman could be so incredibly beautiful.

Her heart was pounding fast as she looked at Ashlyn in admiration.

Meanwhile, Ashlyn was rendered rather speechless by Olivia's words.

Olivia's performance in the competition has nothing to do with me. So why would I feel let down? Am I missing something here?

Lowering her head, Jenny bit her lip and left in low spirits, heading for the auditorium, while Hera went back to her seat to continue putting on her makeup.

I must get a good ranking because it's not easy to enter the final.

Seeing that both Hera and Jenny were gone, Fae said to Ashlyn in a worried tone, "Ashlyn, the president of the International Piano Association is here today, as are many city leaders. Will the president of the association form a bad opinion of you because of this? I heard that Ryan invited him here."

"Penelope is a hypocrite. Only she could think of putting up such a show. I believe Ryan is a reasonable man." Ashlyn smiled, grateful for Fae's kind concern.

However, Fae was still worried.

She had heard that the president of the association was very well-known in the music scene. He was not only rich and powerful but also a guest of the leaders of various countries. He was not someone to be trifled with.

Penelope seems too arrogant. If the president and Ryan have a good relationship, wouldn't it be as easy as trampling an ant to destroy Ashlyn's career since she is just a relatively new piano player? Penelope seems too arrogant. If the president and Ryan have a good relationship, wouldn't it be as easy as trampling an ant to destroy Ashlyn's career since she is just a relatively new piano player? It was impossible for Fae to not worry.

She was very concerned for both Charlotte and Ashlyn.

If Lottie is targeted because of this, she won't be able to get a good ranking...

Fae's heart was heavy.

She felt as if there was a huge boulder weighing down in her chest.

If Ashlyn is really treated unjustly and oppressed by the president of the Piano Association because of this. Or if she cannot gain her foothold in the music industry, I will use all the connections I have to help her. No matter what, I won't stand by and watch Lottie and Ashlyn being mistreated!

Jenny sat down grudgingly with the spectators in the auditorium. As soon as she passed by, members of the Holt and Chapman families could not help but ask, "How is Hera doing?"

"The competition is about to start. When is she scheduled to play?"

The two families knew nothing about what had happened backstage.

Jenny reined in her emotions and forced a smile. "She is well-prepared. So don't worry about her."

Penelope did not return to the hotel but sat next to her.

They glared at each other, their gazes full of resentment.

Jenny calmed herself down, thinking that Penelope's pride had suffered more than hers. As such, she deliberately provoked her, "Penelope, don't pay attention to Ashlyn and the others, your necklace looks much better than the other one."

At these words, Penelope felt even worse.

Just the mention of the necklace infuriated her.

She had heard that the gift that Ryan had given her at their first meeting was specially ordered. She never expected that such a rare and valuable item that was designed by Director X was something Ashlyn could simply dish out as a gift. This really infuriated her.

She felt humiliated.

Sisley, who knew nothing about the backstage incidents, asked in a whisper, "Penelope, I heard that the president of the International Piano Association has been invited here by your uncle. Please try to get in a good word for Hera, so that the president will favor her. We really envy you for having such an excellent family background and awesome uncle."

Penelope was initially down in the dumps, but she cheered up quickly when she heard these words of praise from Sisley.

No matter how embarrassing the situation was that day, nothing can change the fact that she was a daughter of a noble family.

Her Uncle Ryan was known as the Piano Prince and no matter where she went, she was respected.

Hmph! Ashlyn is nothing but a small fry compared to me!

Just then, Mary arrived. Dressed in a dark purple suit with half-heeled shoes on her feet and a Hermes bag in her hands, she was fashionably late.
