Chapter 490

It sounds so awkward. Didn't they hope that I would die in the past? After all, I almost died at theirhands on that night six years ago. How shameless is she to congratulate me now?

Gwendolyn slightly narrowed her eyes.

“I won't be marrying Zayden. If I have to choose, that person will be Patrick.”

Her voice was low and cold, which sent a chill down Felicia's and Candace's spines.

Candace snorted coldly. “Gwendolyn, what do you mean? Are you trying to steal him from Fel?”

Gwendolyn raised her eyebrows and retorted, “Do I even need to steal? He's mine from the beginning.”

“You...”

Candace did not expect she would be at a loss for words in the face of Gwendolyn's retort. Stunned,she could only give the latter attitude.

Felicia, on the other hand, appeared surprisingly composed. “Mom, why are you trying to fight with her?Saying those words are of no help.”

She planned to let Gwendolyn and Zayden publicly acknowledge their relationship. After all, one way oranother, the two were a couple from Michael's point of view.

Once they do that, how is Gwendolyn going to be with Patrick? Not to mention, Patrick and Old Mr.

Lowen will come here tonight. This is going to be interesting. How is she going to defend herself bythen?

Candace was furious, so Felicia stood up and said, “Mom, let's go upstairs and rest for a while. I'll helpyou touch up your makeup.”

Felicia dragged Candace upstairs, but Gwendolyn merely glanced at them expressionlessly.

Facing Candace and Felicia, Gwendolyn was always full of confidence. She felt great just now forspeaking her mind and undermining Felicia.

I know full well who Patrick cares about. She was nothing short of embarrassing herself by challengingme earlier.

Because Zayden and Suzanne occupied her room, Gwendolyn could only rest in the living room.

Initially, she was looking at her phone. And before she knew it, she had already drifted off to sleep.

After some time, when awakened by the voices of her relatives, Gwendolyn opened her eyes and sawFrancine and the others sitting on the couch. There were a lot of people talking and smiling at eachother.

All of them demonstrated reenergized looks that would appear after a lunch break. Nicolette was sittingbeside her. Seeing Gwendolyn was awake, she scolded, “I told you guys to keep your voices low. See,you have awakened Wendy.”

Nicolette's mother looked over, and her gaze rested on Gwendolyn.

“Gwen, it is already three in the afternoon. It's time to wake up. Our family hired makeup artists andstylists. They have been waiting for you in the guest room.”

Nicolette slightly widened her eyes. “Huh? Is the event this formal? Wendy, let's go upstairs quickly anddress you up.”

In her eyes, Gwendolyn was already a natural beauty. If Gwendolyn were to put on some makeup anda lavish gown, she would, without a doubt, outshine every attending woman and be in the limelight.

At the thought of that, Nicolette became super excited.

I know full well who Patrick cares about. She was nothing short of embarrassing herself by challengingme earlier. “Wendy, let's move.”

Gwendolyn just woke up and was in a groggy state. Pulled up by Nicolette, she stood up and walkedtoward the stairs.

The relatives in the living room started a discussion while keeping their voices low. “Old Mr. Ashtonsees this matter with importance. It's not just as simple as winning an award, right?”

“Gwen did not finish her education back in the day and got pregnant. Now that she has won an award,it's normal for Old Mr. Ashton to be happy for her.”

“Also, her marriage with Mr. Surrington should be on the agenda.”

“No wonder Old Mr. Ashton invited reporters here. Usually, he dislikes entertainment news the most. Itlooks like he still cares about Ms. Gwendolyn.”

Gwendolyn did not hear those words, but her three kids did.

Following that, Juliette pouted with anger.

“Justin, who on earth is Gwen going to marry? Isn't she going to marry Mr. Lowen? Why did the otherparty become Zay now?”

Justin gestured for her to stop saying anything, as he did not want her to draw others' attention.

Then, Justin and Julian held her hand and walked toward the courtyard from the living room.

“Juliette, we are not going to interfere in Mommy's affair. No matter what they say, we have to supporther.”

Julian nodded. “Justin is right. We have to be Mommy's support.”

Juliette did not fully understand, but she listened to the words of her two brothers.

“But... Gwen is way happier when she's with Mr. Lowen!”
