Chapter 169

Cindy saw the close interaction between Ashlyn and Sienna from afar, then she strolled over to them and greeted Ashlyn, “Ms. Berry, how have you been?”

Cindy had a good impression of Ashlyn after the LX brand incident.

“Good day, Ms. Wynn.” Ashlyn had not spoken to any of the wealthy wives, but she greeted and chatted with Cindy.

All the wealthy wives’ expressions turned grim at her reaction.

Are we worse than an actress?

Both of them are lowly people and cut from the same cloth. It’s true that birds of a feather flock together.

“Ashlyn!” a high-pitched voice called out suddenly.

Wearing an unusual outfit, Naomi stormed toward them and pointed at her phone while shouting, “Did you ask my brother to remove the trending topic for you?”

Naomi?

She’s here too?

Ashlyn’s eyes glinted with surprise. She asked discreetly, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

When everyone saw Naomi’s expression, a scornful look appeared on their faces, knowing that a good show was about to unfold.

Naomi was known for her quick temper. After she returned from overseas, she did not go to school, doing nothing other than hanging out with some female gangsters.

She had a few friends in the upper echelons of society. If it weren’t for her identity as the daughter of the Nolan family, the socialites wouldn’t be bothered to look at her.

Some well-educated socialites even refused to associate with her.

“Stop pretending like you’re so pure and innocent.” Naomi was used to scolding Ashlyn every time she met her in the Nolan family home. In Naomi’s eyes, Ashlyn was only her brother’s kept woman.

Hence, she scolded Ashlyn straight away when she bumped into her here.

Ashlyn stared at Naomi with an indifferent face. “Ms. Nolan, are we so close that you have forgotten your manners?”

“What are you trying to say!” Naomi shrieked angrily with embarrassment.

Ashlyn raised a brow in silent while glancing around.

Naomi unconsciously followed her gaze and look around. Only then she realized the wealthy wives around her were staring at her with disgust and contempt.

It suddenly hit her that she was only humiliating herself when she yelled at Ashlyn in public.

“Everyone here can see that you’re ill-bred.” Ashlyn gracefully swayed the glass of red wine in her hand before taking a sip. She leaned closer to Naomi and whispered into her ears, “It’s obvious that someone manipulated you, but you still think that you’re all that. How silly of you.”

Ashlyn shoved the glass into Naomi’s hand. “I told you to study harder in school since you’re so dumb.”

Naomi’s face flushed beet red with shame.

Initially, she had no intention to cause trouble for Ashlyn. But a few girls incited her to start a fight, saying that only she was bold enough to stand against Ashlyn, who was so pretentious and disgusting.

Now she started reflecting on her actions. Are these girls genuinely my besties?

Although Cindy was afraid of offending Naomi, she mumbled, “Ms. Nolan, scolding Ms. Berry in public makes you look like…”

“What do I look like? Explain!” Naomi rebuked her furiously, “What do you think you are to criticize me?”

Cindy’s face turned pale at her words. She could not afford to offend a girl from a wealthy family, but she could not stand to see Ashlyn get insulted.

Cindy was only an average celebrity who had plastic surgeries for her face and boobs. Since the LX brand event, she felt really impressed by Ashlyn.

The world of show business was complicated, and she went through much bullying and oppression, but she eventually adapted herself to people-pleasing and politics. Yet, Ashlyn was magnanimous, and it blew her mind.

Ashlyn’s frigid gaze landed on Naomi. “Shut up. Aren’t you embarrassed enough? Or do you want to continue living overseas? If you don’t, then get back to the Nolan family home now!”
