Chapter 394

Gwendolyn was a little disappointed when it was not Patrick on the phone.

However, their intimacy the night before made her feel blissful whenever she thought of him.

“Where's Mr. Lowen? I saw some missed calls on my phone,” she stated.

Gwendolyn thought Patrick must have called her while she was on the phone with Zayden. Sherecalled hearing something during that call but did not make much of it.

Meanwhile, Liam looked at the handsome man, who was being interviewed by the media in front of themicrophone. With an impassive countenance, the latter answered the reporters' questions beautifullyeach time.

That's Mr. Lowen indeed. He's always the calmest no matter what he faces.

“Ms. Ashton, Mr. Lowen can't make it to the phone because he's being interviewed by the media rightnow. Do you have anything you would like me to pass on to him? I'll relay your message to him or gethim to call you back later.”

Gwendolyn pondered over it and realized she did not have anything to say. I just wanted to ask howhe's doing. After all, he must have a lot on his plate due to that incident today.

Finally, she could not help but voice her concern. “I don't have anything to tell him, Mr. Derner. Uh, isPatrick okay?”

Even though Patrick was powerful, and everyone thought of him as some superhero, Gwendolyn stillsaw him as an ordinary human with a head and two arms and legs.

Ultimately, he did not have more limbs than an average person, and he was still a man of flesh andblood.

Liam hesitated and replied, “Mr. Lowen is very strong, so you don't have to worry about him. Ms.Ashton, you should just spend more time with him if you can.”

Even so, Gwendolyn began to worry after she hung up the phone.

Thus, she quickly pulled up the news on her phone. Immediately, an eye-catching headline popped up:Three Dead In The Construction Site At The Eastern District.

She clicked into the news nervously and saw the content was condemning Lowen Group about the lackof safety measures on the company's side. The whole incident had also blown out of proportion.

Gwendolyn dared not look at the comments under the news article and could only speak to herselfinwardly. Hang in there, Patrick. Everyone, please don't blame him. It's not his fault.

She was no judge in the matter, and it did not matter to her who was right or wrong. It was no doubtthat she was biased.

All she hoped was for the good of her man. She wished for him to be safe and hoped the others wouldnot trouble him.

At that moment, Juliette called her, “Mommy, we're going inside.”

As it was time for Hector to get his medication and the sun was getting hotter, they all decided to moveindoors.

“Okay. I'm coming,” Gwendolyn answered.

Holding Juliette's hand, Alice led her inside with Hector and the others.

Gwendolyn moved toward them. Felicia, who had been waiting for her, walked side by side with her.

“Gwen, Grandpa has been talking about bringing you back and holding the wedding for you andZayden as soon as possible.”

Then, she sneered and continued, “I've heard that Zayden got into a car accident and is blind now. Yousure are pitiful. Not only is the father of your children unknown, but the only one who stood up for youhas gone blind. Should I say that you're unfortunate or that you bring bad luck to any man who'sinvolved with you?”

At that instant, Gwendolyn grabbed her hand and pulled her back, forcing her to stumble backward.

“Felicia, don't be so complacent. I'll explain things to Grandpa. However, Patrick is mine. Don't everthink of getting your hands on him.”

As of then, Gwendolyn was sure that she loved Patrick, and she wanted to be with him.

Therefore, she was determined to stand by his side through thick and thin.

Incensed, Felicia clenched her fists. She wanted to retort Gwendolyn and even had an urge to retaliateby hitting her.

This woman sure is violent. To think that she always resorts to violence. Barbarians like her are scaryindeed.

In the end, she said, “Gwendolyn, you might not know this, but Old Mr. Lowen is fond of me and haschosen me as his granddaughter-in-law. I suggest you get it sorted with Grandpa first before telling methese things. If you want to anger him again and make him think you're a shameless b*tch, go aheadand tell him about your affairs with Patrick.”

As soon as she finished her sentence, she strutted away.

Gwendolyn drew a deep breath. What a despicable woman.

When she arrived inside the house, Juliette was watching the television and choosing the channel withthe remote control in her hand.

She happened to turn to the news channel, and it was playing the news about the accident in theeastern district.
