Perfect CEO
Chapter 550

Chapter 550

Rosalie noticed the odd look he had in his eyes when he saw the ring. Patrick is normally anemotionless guy. However, his expression changed dramatically when he saw the ring. I bet he knowsabout this ring.

With that in mind, she quickly hid the ring with her shirt. Besides, she avoided the topic because shewas afraid of saying something wrong.

“Pat, please have a look at our tender!” She rose to her feet and averted her gaze.

Yet, Patrick was still staring at her. Since he had never looked at Rosalie that way, she knew it hadsomething to do with the ring.

Seeing that, she decided to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Not only would Patrick usually not look through tenders, but that was also not within a CEO's jobscope. I don't get it. How did that ring end up with Rosalie?

Nevertheless, Patrick went through the tender patiently and said, “It looks rather promising. Good luck!”

By then, Rosalie had already recomposed herself, so she flashed Patrick a faint smile and replied,“Thank you for your encouragement, Pat. We won't disappoint you.”

With that, she retrieved the tender and held it tightly in her embrace. “I know you're a busy man, Pat. I'llget out of your hair.”

As Patrick fiddled with his pen, he said, “It's lunchtime. Let's grab lunch together.”

Rosalie's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because hehad never invited me out! However, I mustn't have lunch with him today because he will surely ask meabout the ring. Before I replace out what's going on, I shouldn't go with him. I would accept his invitation ina heartbeat if he invited me any other day.

For the sake of the future, she had no choice but to turn him down. “I need to hold a conference afterthis, Pat. Once our tender gets approved, I'll buy you a meal instead!”

With that, she flashed a gleeful smile and turned around to leave the office.

The moment the door closed behind her, Patrick whipped out his phone to call Kevin.

Kevin answered the call promptly. “What's the matter? Are you in pain again?”

Kevin grew worried instantly because Patrick had only been discharged not longer ago.

“It's not that. I need you to look into something,” Patrick answered.

“What is it?” Kevin entered his office and took a sip of the coffee his secretary served him.

“Rosalie has a ring on her neck. Ask her where did she get it from?” Patrick asked. All this while, Ithought Gwendolyn was the woman from back then. Everything made sense because she was also theeldest daughter of the Ashton family. However, I never saw the ring that I gave away back then. All of asudden, I saw it on Rosalie today. I need to replace out what's going on. Although a lot of things are stillunclear at the moment, I know I'm right about the sense of familiarity I have with Gwendolyn.

Patrick was filled with confidence.

Ring? Kevin was never close to Rosalie because she was his stepsister. Hence, he never liked her.“Okay. I'll look into it.”

In response, Patrick slightly pursed his lips and said, “I need you to give me a DNA test. I could be afather.”

Patrick grew suspicious ever since he found out Gwendolyn was not only a member of the Ashtonfamily but also the family's eldest daughter.

He initially thought he could do the DNA test later, but the emergence of the ring messed up the leadshe had in his mind.

Hence, the best thing he could do at that moment was to see if Justin and the others were his children.

If they were his children, he could be sure Gwendolyn was undoubtedly the woman he encounteredback then.

In other words, it wouldn't matter who was in possession of the ring.

Needless to say, Patrick knew exactly what to do.

“What the f*ck? A father? Is Gwen pregnant?” Kevin was stunned. Could it be triplets again?

“What do you mean, Kev? Are you doubting my sexual prowess?”

In response, Kevin chuckled awkwardly. “Um... Why would I? You're a strong man, and I know you cankeep it going for an entire night. You can have kids anytime you want.”
