Chapter 494

Gwendolyn supported Zayden as they stood by Michael's side, greeting the guests and reporters.

Gwendolyn's mood was down in the dumps at this moment.

Her eyes were dull, and her mind had gone blank. She was unsure of what she was doing.

She didn't expect Michael to cause such a commotion and even invited the press because she knewhe disliked them for writing whatever they wanted without any actual significance.

Lucy was also attending the banquet with Lucas, for Michael had invited the entire upper-class societyof the city.

Kevin was also here. He swirled his glass of wine, standing among the crowd.

Lucas asked, “Kev, what is happening?”

Isn't Gwendolyn the woman Pat loves? How could he allow someone to lay his hands on Gwendolyn?

Kevin didn't bring a female companion to this banquet. He took a sip of his wine, and his expressiondarkened.

“Let's go and see Pat. He's probably not doing well.”

Lucy was also anxious about the entire situation. However, Gwendolyn was in front of the cameras foran interview, so she couldn't rush over and ask her.

She pulled Lucas' hand and uttered, “Mr. Gomez, it's definitely not what it looks like. Gwendolyn owedZayden one. Since he's blind now, Gwen is probably repaying him by taking care of him.”

Lucy knew about Gwendolyn's feelings and knew who the latter loved.

This entire banquet was a gigantic misunderstanding, and the person who was most affected by thispredicament was none other than Gwendolyn.

She couldn't help but feel worried about her friend. Therefore, she followed Lucas as the latter walkedover to Patrick.

Seeing the man's icy gaze toward Gwendolyn, Lucy couldn't help feeling afraid.

She took a step back and whispered, “Mr. Surrington is so scary! H-He doesn't hit women, does he?”

If Patrick dared to lay his hands on a woman, Lucy was afraid that Gwendolyn might suffer severeinjuries from his hands. At the very least, her friend might be crippled.

Lucas enveloped the anxious woman in an embrace. “He doesn't hit women, but it's different for men.”

He then swept his gaze past Zayden, who was standing beside Gwendolyn. He even has the guts towrap his arm around her shoulders. I'm afraid that a limb of his will be crippled soon.

Although Felicia didn't dare to approach Patrick, she wouldn't miss the opportunity to make herpresence known.

She walked up to Patrick and grabbed his arm, flashing him a faint smile before saying, “Patrick, yourgrandfather is looking. Don't disappoint him, okay?”

Patrick couldn't think of anything at this point. He brushed her arm off, causing Felicia to stumble backa few steps. If it wasn't for Kevin blocking her, she might have fallen to the ground.

Kevin helped her up and said gently, “Be careful, Ms. Felicia.”

Now that they all knew about Gwendolyn's identity, they knew Felicia wasn't the only daughter in theAshton family.

She couldn't help but feel worried about her friend. Therefore, she followed Lucas as the latter walkedover to Patrick.

Interesting. Has this girl been pretending to be innocent the entire time?

Felicia didn't care anymore. She had done everything she could to draw Patrick's attention but to noavail.

She held her gown and walked over to him. His gaze was still fixated on Gwendolyn the entire time.Although his gaze was cold, he only had eyes for her.

Had Patrick cared about another person this much before?

Felicia couldn't understand why Gwendolyn, a woman who already had children, was able to attract aman like Patrick and even made him fall head over heels for her.

“Stop looking at her, Patrick. Zayden's the father of Gwendolyn's children. They had a relationship sixyears ago. They're a family, a real family.”

Michael's speech earlier was already blatant enough, but Felicia still felt the need to make things evenclearer for Patrick.

She hoped for the man to hate Gwendolyn. If that was the case, it would mean an opportunity for her.

Felicia only had one goal in life, and that was to marry Patrick no matter what.

She wanted to become his wife, bear his children, and become the woman every female in Avenportenvied.

After all, he was the one who came to her first, asking her to sign the dating contract; surely that meantthey were fated to be together.
