Chapter 690 Protect The Children

After the ordeal last night, Hector woke up at the Lowen residence with a dark expression. When hesaw Alice, he snorted coldly and turned his face away, unwilling to look at her.

Alice approached him. “What's wrong?”

Hector glanced around before replying coldly, “Why did you have to make such a fuss about whathappened last night? I still need to keep my dignity.”

So what if I'm old? I can still satisfy her! But she didn't want it.

Alice blushed upon being reminded of the incident. She slapped him lightly. “Your body's in such astate. How can you still do it?”

Hector harrumphed again. “See! You're underestimating me.”

With that, he trudged down the stairs with his hands behind his back.

Alice couldn't help but gripe, “That stubborn old man! He's already seventy-three years old yet stillrefuses to accept his age.”

At that moment, Patrick came down the stairs. Dressed in a sleek black shirt and trousers, he exuded acool and composed aura.

“Morning, Grandma!” he greeted, casually adjusting his cufflinks.

Alice thought that such a morning was simply too perfect. After all, she could lay her eyes on her

handsome grandson. Even though Hector's strange behavior made her mad, Patrick managed to easeher lingering irritation.

Walking together arm in arm, Alice couldn't resist asking, “Patrick, have you truly forgotten aboutGwendolyn?”

Patrick's hand froze for a moment when he heard that, but he swiftly fastened the cufflink with aconfident snap.

He looked up and smiled faintly. “Who are you talking about?”

Alice shook her head. “If you've forgotten her, so be it!”

Since Gwendolyn has already married, it doesn't matter even if Pat remembers her. He can't possiblyruin her marriage.

Gwendolyn went to the office and spent her morning in meetings. She was now quite familiar with herwork.

When she walked out of the meeting room, Connor followed behind her.

“Ms. Ashton, there's a meeting tonight that requires your presence.”

Gwendolyn knew that another Solstice Mall would be built in Avenport, around the new district. It was inthe midst of construction. Although the place was not bustling now, it would become the most livelylocation in a few years.

Many shopping malls were vying to establish themselves there, and Solstice Group was no exception.

Gwendolyn nodded. “Okay. Let me know when it's time.”

She then returned to her office, which was predominantly adorned in white tones. It was wide andbright, with her favorite dolls giving the place a touch of warmth.

Gwendolyn placed her laptop and documents on the desk before collapsing on the white couch.

She massaged her legs, which had become slightly swollen after those long hours of sitting.

At that moment, her phone rang. Gwendolyn whipped out her phone and answered the call.

“Hey, Justin.”

Her sons should be preparing for their afternoon nap at that time. It was strange that they were callingher.

“Mommy, Mr. Zayden came and picked Juliette up! He only brought her away.”

Both boys were supposed to accompany their little sister. However, Zayden said that he was only goingto bring Juliette away. When some people asked them if Zayden was their uncle, they even noddedaffirmatively.

To their surprise, Zayden only took Juliette away.

Gwendolyn jumped up in terror. “What? Where did he bring her to?”

Justin sent Juliette's location to Gwendolyn. “Juliette's probably still in the car now. However, it's drivingto the suburbs.”

Fear crashed over Gwendolyn. “All right. Stay at school obediently. I'll replace her, so don't worry.”

She was scared to the core when she heard that Zayden had taken Juliette away.

Swiftly grabbing her car keys, she rushed outside. As she stepped into the elevator, she dialed herbodyguard's number.

“Follow me to a place.”

The man replied in a deep voice, “Okay!”
