My Extraordinary Wife

He still ended up throwing a birthday banquet for her.

Men.

Penelope’s determination to seduce Dixon was reignited at the thought of possibly becoming the next Mrs. Haddock.

With that thought in mind, she smiled at Jenny haughtily. In her head, it was a graceful and elegant smile. “Jenny, thank you so much for coming today. It means the world to me.”

Jenny felt a sense of unease at Penelope’s words.

Why is she acting all high and mighty? Just because she got welcomed back into her rich family doesn’t mean she’ll become the queen overnight. Dixon wouldn’t have needed to throw her a banquet if she were so powerful.

She didn’t show any of her disdain on her face. Instead, she plastered a fake smile on her face as she asked, “Is that a branded necklace? It looks so expensive and classy!”

Penelope’s eyes glinted maliciously despite her gentle smile.

“Oh, this old thing? It’s just a regular necklace. It wasn’t expensive at all,” she said in a casual tone. “It’s a design by X called Azure.”

She instinctively began to stroke the pendant hanging from the delicate chain. “This is a pretty rare blue diamond, too. I’ve always loved her work. You know what a big fan of hers I am.”

However, Azure wasn’t a recent design. In fact, it was quite an old design⁠—a classic from X’s earlier years.

Her older works hadn’t been as well received before as they were now. She wasn’t as famous and had much fewer fans then.
