Candace shivered involuntarily as Michael was terrifying when he was upset.
She replied reluctantly, “All right, Dad. I'll go copy the family rules shortly.”
Seeing how defeated Candace looked, Gwendolyn felt extremely satisfied.
She suddenly realized that she had ways to deal with these two women.
Her grandfather doted on her. As long as she kept visiting him, she could get Michael to deal with them.
Gwendolyn could not help but grin as it seemed that revenge was at hand.
She was not planning to make them lose everything, but she did not want to let them live too
comfortably either.
After coming out of the Ashton residence, Gwendolyn waited for her ride at the roadside.
She was browsing through her phone when Patrick called.
“Mr. Lowen,” she greeted after picking up.
“Gwendolyn, are you stupid? Why did you leave without eating?”
She immediately thought of the delicious spread on the table earlier and felt a tinge of regret.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was unlikely that she would have the opportunity to bring the children to dine in the revolving
restaurant any time soon.
It was an extremely expensive restaurant.
When she and Benjamin sat down earlier, he had asked her to order what she wanted. However, she
almost fell off the chair after seeing the sky-high prices on the menu.
A single dish cost almost thirty thousand. To ensure she did not see wrong, she had even counted the
number of digits. Even the cheapest dish was around five thousand. It was practically daylight robbery.
As such, she had excused herself to go to the washroom. She could not find it in herself to make
someone spend so much and decided to let Benjamin place the order instead.
Patrick's table would have cost at least hundreds of thousands. It was quite a pity.
However, it seemed to her that the children would enjoy fast food more.
“Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn?” Patrick called out as she had gone silent.
It was only then that she came back to her senses.
“Mr. Lowen, I'm sorry! My family is used to having homecooked meals. They aren't used to such high-
end food.”
Patrick furrowed his brows. The four of them looked slightly off earlier.
Something must be up. Has she taken a liking to Benjamin? Do her two sons also feel the same way
about him?
“Gwendolyn, I'm drunk. Come pick me up.”
“Mr. Lowen, didn't you bring your assistant and the chauffeur with you? I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me
to go as I didn't drive today.”
Patrick downed the wine in his hand in one gulp and narrowed his eyes.
“Since it's not convenient for you, give me Ms. Ziegler's number. I think she'll be glad to pick me up and
become my personal secretary. Her cooking is also much better than yours.”
Gwendolyn was shocked upon hearing this.
“Mr. Lowen, where are you now? I'll come over right now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe chuckled after getting his way, and his voice became lower and sexier, partly because of the
alcohol.
“The revolving restaurant.”
“Okay, I'll be there soon.”
After hanging up, Gwendolyn looked at the time and wondered why her ride was not yet there.
She would break down if Camille took over her job.
At that moment, she suddenly realized how good of an employer Patrick was. Although he sometimes
gave off a lustful look and said weird things to her that could amount to sexual harassment in a
workplace, that was his only problem.
Never did he work her to the bone or complain about her cooking. He also tolerated her coffee, which
tasted too sweet.
Sometimes, she would even glare at him when she was in a bad mood, but he never got upset.
He truly was a good boss.
At that moment, she felt the urge to see him and praise him to the skies.
Finally, her ride arrived. She hurriedly got into the car and said, “Sir, I have to change my destination as
my husband is jumping off a building. Please head over to Horizon Tower as soon as possible. It's a
matter of life and death!”
