Upon hearing Gwendolyn's voice, he lowered his head and saw that half the painting was burned. He
quickly put out the fire.
Now, only the beautiful lady's face was intact in the painting. Patrick was infuriated to see that.
“Oh, no! My beautiful lady, you haven't come into my dreams yet!”
At the side, Lucas was laughing so hard that he found it hard to breathe. Then, Patrick warned coldly,
“Kev, stop listening to all these legends. Also, don't do such stupid things.”
Kevin was an expert in the medical industry, but he was also a lunatic.
Although Kevin was enraged that the painting was damaged, he threw it to the side. “How boring. I
heard about the legend, so I wanted to give it a try. I don't even have the chance now.”
In the meantime, Gwendolyn felt distressed seeing the painting that cost five hundred thousand being
burned just like that. Mr. Chavez, if you have too much money, just give them to me! I'll spend them for
you! What a waste of five hundred thousand!

“Pat, you berated me for believing in the legend, but you also believe it. You heard that the one who
wore this necklace would get together with their love for eternity. That's why you bought it. You're the
pot calling the kettle black.”
Gwendolyn sensed Kevin was looking at her, so she quickly put the necklace underneath her clothes
before smiling at him. “Mr. Chavez, this isn't that necklace! It looks like that one, but this one doesn't
have the black diamond.”
Patrick taught her to say that, so she knew the secret of the necklace now.
Patrick taught her to say that, so she knew the secret of the necklace now.
Once she had hidden the black diamond, no one would know its worth.
Kevin raised an eyebrow when he heard that. Do you think I would believe that? You fell for Pat's lies.
Lifting his wineglass, Kevin stated, “Gwen, the venison tastes better with wine.”
It was the first time Gwendolyn ate grilled venison steak, so she clearly believed him. She remembered
that when she watched Pride and Prejudice back then, the actors had drunk mulled wine when they ate
barbecued venison on a snowy day.
Although it was not snowing now, the weather was extremely cold.
Then Gwendolyn clinked glasses with Kevin. “Cheers.”
Patrick frowned when he saw that. The wine tasted good, but it had high alcoholic content.
While he was grilling some meat for her, he reminded, “Ms. Ashton, don't drink too much. The effect of
this alcohol is extremely strong.”
Gwendolyn rolled her eyes at him. Clearly, she was a little drunk at that moment.
“Mr. Lowen, you're so petty. This tastes like a normal beverage. I won't get drunk. Are you unwilling to
pay for these?”
Patrick was rendered speechless.
In the meantime, Lucas was drinking all by himself. His mood turned bad when he thought about the
woman who would not come to beg him again.

Kevin let out a chuckle and teased, “Mr. Lowen, you're so petty for gifting her a necklace that's worth
one hundred and fifty million. Haha...”
Patrick took a bite of a piece of meat. It tastes good.
He then said calmly, “Kev, if she gets drunk today, I'll withdraw my investment from the lab.”
Upon hearing that, Kevin hurriedly stopped Gwendolyn from drinking.
“Gwen, let's stop drinking. Shall we eat some meat?”
Right at that moment, Gwendolyn noticed many people had appeared in front of her. There were three
Patricks and countless Kevins and Lucases.
Feeling dizzy, she replied, “The wine tastes good. I want more.”
Frowning, Kevin replied, “She's drunk. Doesn't this make it easier for you to 'get' her? I'm helping you.”
While speaking, he had the urge to kneel before the other man. He even asked us to make her drunk
the other day. Why does he not want her drunk now?
Patrick glanced at Gwendolyn before he answered, “I'm getting engaged next week. If I 'get' her, do
you think she's going to let me off so easily?”
