Candace bent down and stroked Felicia's face gently.

“Sweetheart, you're really going to get engaged to Patrick. Henceforth, you'll be the future mistress ofLowen Group.”

At that thought, she couldn't help but feel like grinning, the glee within her bubbling over.

Felicia took a deep breath. “Yeah, I know all this is real.”

However, she was the only one who knew that everything was fake.

Nevertheless, she would definitely try her best to make Patrick fall in love with her after that day.

When she had the title of his fiancée, she would have more opportunities to draw close to him.

Patrick was drunk the previous night, and he was awakened by the designer knocking on his door inthe morning. He swung open the door in utter displeasure.

“What is it?”

His voice was terse and cold, tinged with a hint of impatience.

“M-Mr. Lowen, we're your designer and makeup artist for today. Your engagement party will be heldtoday.”

Hearing that, the man lifted his hand and ruffled his hair. When he withdrew his hand, his casual yet

wild look rendered him exceedingly captivating.

He spun around and stalked back into the bedroom. Thus, everyone else followed behind him.

Out of the blue, he ordered frostily, “Go to the adjacent guest room. I don't like people coming into myroom.”

Immediately, the group of people retreated and went to the adjacent guest room.

Patrick then went back to sleep. When it was almost eleven o'clock, Liam rushed upstairs.

“Why is the groom still not ready?”

The group of people in the guest room swung their gazes at him.

The lead designer, Lilith Latymer, lamented helplessly, “Mr. Derner, Mr. Lowen is still in bed. He wasextremely displeased when we woke him earlier.”

Liam knew that Patrick didn't want to get engaged, so he was also at a loss.

Therefore, he took out his phone and gave Gwendolyn a call. Right then, the latter was basking in thesun in the courtyard, and her three children were playing near her. Her two sons were playing ball whileJuliette was playing with a skipping rope.

Camille came out with the phone. “Gwen, your phone has been ringing nonstop.”

Slipping off her sunglasses, Gwendolyn stretched lazily. Then, she took the phone and glanced at it.

“What's the matter, Mr. Derner?”

It was Saturday then. Even if she were attending the engagement party with Zayden, that would be inthe evening.

“Can you please come over to Mr. Lowen's house, Ms. Ashton? You're needed for something.”

Inwardly, Liam pondered over the situation. Ms. Ashton, you're the only one who can get Mr. Lowen outof bed, and it's only with your presence that he won't haul anyone over the coals.

However, he was also taking a risk. Considering the situation today, if she puts in an appearance, willhe skip the engagement and elope with her?

At that thought, he gave a bark of laughter.

Mr. Lowen eloping? That's too absurd! It'll never happen!

Gwendolyn was momentarily taken aback.

A moment later, she replied evenly, “I'm sorry, but I'm not working today, and I don't feel like workingovertime. If overtime is needed, have Mr. Lowen give me a call.”

She hung up right after saying that, stunning Liam.

He scrutinized his phone once more to ascertain that she had truly hung up.

His gaze darkened a shade. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on the door.

The instant Patrick stood at the door with a dark expression on his face, Liam backed up several stepsin fear.

“It's already half-past eleven, Mr. Lowen.”

He was the host that day, so he should be at the banquet hall by then. The Ashtons had long sincearrived and were breathing down his neck.

“Liam, I think you're too free. Do you want to go to Alendor to pick gorilla poop?”

Liam shook his head profusely. “No, Mr. Lowen. I—”

Ms. Ashton, please come quickly and save me!

Patrick brushed past him and stalked into the adjacent guest room. When the occupants caught sightof his tall figure, they all stood up.

“Mr. Lowen.”

Patrick swept a gaze over the tuxedos. “Which one?”

Lilith swiftly brought over the tuxedo he was to wear that day. “This one, Mr. Lowen. Is it to yoursatisfaction?”

Taking it, Patrick stated, “You all may leave now.”

Lilith was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, “There's still makeup to be done, Mr. Lowen!”

That was an order from Felicia, for she wanted Patrick to look even more handsome with makeup.
