Chapter 113

Gwendolyn put on an awkward smile when she saw Nicolette walking around the car to examine thevehicle. The latter had even let out a cry.

“I did not expect such a luxurious car to be my Uber ride. Haha...”

Gwendolyn hurriedly moved toward the side of the car and attempted to open the back seat door.However, the door would not budge.

Noticing Gwendolyn's actions, Felicia took a few steps forward and crossed her arm in front of herchest. She sneered, “Gwen, I don't think this is your Uber ride. Are you trying to put up an act in front ofeveryone? You can stop pretending now because you don't even know how to open the car door. Wewill not look down on you.”

Hearing that, everyone laughed. “Gwen, you've become materialistic and conceited after these fewyears.”

“That's right. It's fine if you don't have a car. We can send you home.”

They were in utter disbelief because someone capable of driving that car would never have become anUber driver.

Gwendolyn frowned upon hearing the derisive laughter.

She sent Patrick a text: Open the door, Mr. Lowen!

Patrick replied instantaneously: Sit in the passenger seat because I'm driving the car tonight.

Gwendolyn thought to herself after reading his message. He's truly living up to his reputation as theboss because of how reluctant he is to become another person's driver.

Nicolette jogged up to Gwendolyn and asked, “Gwen, are you sure this is your Uber driver instead ofyour boyfriend?”

She did not believe that someone would register to become an Uber driver with such a luxurious car.After all, that would be an absolute depreciation of the car's value.

Gwendolyn forced a smile. “Yes, this is my Uber ride. I'll be leaving now. Goodbye!”

With that, she opened the door to the passenger seat after waving goodbye to Nicolette. Then she gotinto the car.

Nicolette was curious about the driver's identity, so she seized the opportunity to peek inside the carwhen Gwendolyn opened the car door.

Hopping on her spot, she exclaimed joyfully, “I saw a man wearing a suit. He looks very handsomefrom the side!”

Francine walked over, hardly able to contain her curiosity. “Did you see who that person is?”

Candace had been silent all along, but she was at the limit of her patience.

“What's so good about being handsome? That is not practical at all. Look at Fel's boyfriend. He's notonly handsome but also wealthy. Nic, you should learn from Fel instead of swooning over guys all the

time like Gwen. She must have fallen for some handsome man's trick, which led to that indecentincident.”

Candace held her daughter's hand after saying that.

Then she added, “Fel, let's go back. It's so cold standing out here. What's so interesting about thatboring car?”

Candace knew nothing about motor vehicles, so she could not fathom others' excitement.

In contrast to her ignorance, those who were slightly informed about cars grasped the implication atonce. They knew the driver must be a significant person. However, Felicia could not think of anyonemore affluent than Patrick.

In the meantime, Zachary was no longer in his cheerful mood because he assumed Gwendolyn was ina relationship with a very rich man. He even suspected that man to be elderly.

His anger intensified the more he thought about that matter.

He planned to have a heartfelt talk with Gwendolyn to persuade her from always committing suchshameful acts.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn turned to look at that handsome “Uber driver” and sighed to herself. Luckily, hedidn't hear any of that. Otherwise, he'll be coming up with more ways to torment me if he knows Ireferred to him as my Uber driver.

Keeping his eyes on the road, Patrick uttered, “You seem closely acquainted with members of the

Ashton family.”

He did not know many people from the Ashton family, but he had met with Zachary and knew that thelatter was the chairman of Ashton Corporation.

Gwendolyn sank back into her seat and stared ahead. The scenic night view of Fairlake, adorned bycolorful city lights, was mesmerizing.

“Ms. Nicolette invited me to her birthday party.”

She did not feel like elaborating, since Patrick did not know she was a member of the Ashton family,anyway. He merely thought of her as the daughter of a housekeeper serving the Ashtons.

Noticing Gwendolyn was upset, the man explained, “My grandpa was in a foul mood today, so I askedFelicia to coax him. Gwendolyn, I want you to know that nothing is going on between Felicia and me.You should not believe what you hear about us from the public.”
