Chapter 244

Displeased that Alice had also introduced Gwendolyn as Patrick's girlfriend, she strode up to them.

“Old Mrs. Lowen, Mr. Lowen changed girlfriends really fast.”

Candace rolled her eyes at Gwendolyn and gave her an arrogant sneer.

“He just got engaged to Felicia yesterday, and today he's gotten a new girlfriend. Everyone here nowknows what kind of person Patrick is. He's a jerk.”

Candace was full of spite as she narrowed her eyes.

Gwendolyn was used to Candace's sarcasm. She held on to Alice's hand, trying to reassure her not todwell too much on Candace's comments.

Alice had mingled among the elites for many years. Although she was a kind-hearted person, she wasnever a coward. She would never allow herself to be bullied in any way.

She looked at Gwendolyn and shook her head before turning to Candace.

“Mrs. Ashton, Hector and I aren't aware of the engagement. Did we visit you at your house for themarriage proposal?”

It was a contingency plan by Patrick to get an old servant to accompany him to ask for Felicia's hand inmarriage. None of his family members was present then.

It only proved that they did not think much about the engagement. It was only a game to the Lowen

family.

Shocked, Candace replied, “Although you weren't there, my friends and family were all presentyesterday. The engagement party was a grand affair. We can see how important Fel is to Mr. Lowen.”

She then turned to Gwendolyn. “This woman is a homewrecker. She made Mr. Lowen call off theengagement on the day itself.”

When the guests heard that, they stared at Gwendolyn in disbelief and started whispering amongthemselves.

The men from prestigious families were rich and powerful, and most women would do anything to getclose to them.

Hence, the women of those families usually despised such pretty but scheming homewreckers. Nowthey seemed to be venting their frustrations on Gwendolyn.

Candace was a very shrewd woman. She had successfully turned everyone against Gwendolyn withjust a few words.

Alice glanced sideways at Gwendolyn. Although she had brought Gwendolyn to the tea party tointroduce her as the future Mrs. Lowen, she also wanted to see for herself how the young lady wouldhandle tricky situations as such. After all, she would have to attend more functions as such aftermarrying Patrick. She was not fit to be Mrs. Lowen if she was a pushover.

Alice simply kept quiet. The elderly ladies present were her close friends.

They knew Alice was testing her future granddaughter-in-law and naturally did not offer any help toGwendolyn as well.

Gwendolyn smiled. “Mrs. Ashton, if I can make Mr. Lowen change his mind so easily, it only means thatyour daughter means very little to him.”

Tucking her hair behind her ear to reveal her prominent collarbone, she continued, “Who are youcalling a homewrecker? Are Mr. Lowen and your daughter married? Don't accuse me of being ahomewrecker when your daughter is the one who can't wait to marry into the Lowen family. She mighthave let it go to her head since she has already regarded herself as Mrs. Lowen.”

“You...”

Cold with fury, Candace was rendered speechless. She started to glance around the room.

Just a while ago, all the guests were on her side. Now, they were covering their mouths with theirhands. She could sense that they were sneering at her.

She felt increasingly nervous.

At that moment, Candace no longer cared about her manners or image. She was bent on ruiningGwendolyn's reputation.

She pointed an accusing finger at Gwendolyn. “You've been messing around with men since you werea teenager. You even had three illegitimate children. How can you be compared to Fel?”

Candace let out a chuckle. “Old Mrs. Lowen, do you know that Gwendolyn already has three kids?

Also, they are all fathered by different men. You've been fooled by her.”

The female guests were stunned by the revelation. They could not believe that Gwendolyn had beenmessing around with men at such a young age. Furthermore, she had even given birth to threechildren.

“How could she be a mother of three?”
