Chapter 782Never in a million years did Ashlyn think Susan would appear and slander her and her friends.

Susan’s remark hurt her so deeply that she could barely breathe. It was unbearably painful.

novelbinAll the onlookers cast disdainful looks at her as if she was stripped naked in public.

Penelope looked at Ashlyn in smug satisfaction. How I wish Ashlyn would drop to her knees and beg

me.

She finally opened her mouth and said, “All this while, you’ve never shown Grandma any respect.

People might be charmed by your innocent looks, but I know what kind of person you are.”

Penelope’s eyes reddened as she continued, “Grandma took good care of you when you were in the

countryside, yet you kicked her out of the house during winter and refused to feed her. Fortunately,

Mom and I arrived in time and took Grandma to the city. You’re the most wicked woman I’ve ever

seen.”

Susan also chided, “Yeah. She kicked me out of the house during winter while I was wearing only a thin

shirt. And that’s how I got my arthritis in the legs. Ashlyn, what have I done to you to deserve this? I

raised you and gave you a home, yet this is how you repay me?”

“I know you’re famous now and have a lot of money. But have you thought of the life you had before?

Have you thought of how you treated me in the past? Have you thought of taking care of me?” Susan

said in between sobs.

Bianca was utterly annoyed by the turn of events. She did not expect these people would make a din at

her birthday party and cause the atmosphere to turn awkward.

After seeing how Susan behaved, Bianca regretted having her over. She had invited Susan to her

birthday party because Mary had told her that she felt bad leaving Susan alone in the house. Since thiswoman named Susan took good care of my daughter, I thought she should be a sweet person.

But that was not the case. The elderly woman was not only a country bumpkin but also an uncouth

shrew.

At the same time, Bianca had also begun to see Ashlyn as a troublemaker, even though she initially

had a good impression of her.

She shot daggers at Ryan. Look at the guests you’ve brought to the house!

Ryan was bewildered. He did not know how to react to that glare.

When he bumped into Ashlyn by the door, he noticed she already had an invitation card. She’s a guest

and also a fellow judge at the piano competition. How can I stop her from entering?

At this point, Caleb, who had kept mum throughout the drama, walked up to Ashlyn and asked casually,

“Lynnie, you’ve always been a free spirit and wouldn’t let any stumbling block get in your way. Why

don’t you say something?”

A corner of Ashlyn’s lips quirked up. “I used to call her Grandma, but since I’m not Horace’s biological

daughter, she’s not my biological grandmother. I don’t want to argue with them since this is not the

Berrys’ family dinner. We’re here to celebrate Old Mrs. Yates’ birthday, so I can’t steal the limelight from

the star of the day.”

Bianca’s face changed upon hearing that. Unlike Mary and her daughter, this girl has a knack for

putting things into perspective. I’m impressed!

Almost all the guests had turned their attention to the drama around Ashlyn, Susan, and Penelope. At

the same time, Bianca’s own daughter and granddaughter continued to add fuel to the fire as if they

could care less about her birthday.That was why Bianca was taken aback by Ashlyn’s remark. Though she’s an outsider, she’s the only

one here who cares about my feelings.

The guests, who were waiting for more drama to unfold, instantly felt embarrassed upon hearing what

Ashlyn said.

“She looks like a great kid. I wonder if it’s all just a misunderstanding?” Bianca smiled and gently patted

Ashlyn’s hand. “How old are you, and what do you work as?”

Ashlyn looked at the affable Bianca and softened her voice. “I’m a doctor specializing in surgery.”
