I must not, under any circumstances, allow this information to be leaked out.
The housekeeper arrived just then to look for Gwendolyn. “Ms. Ashton, Old Mr. Ashton is looking for
you. He is waiting for you in your room.”
Gwendolyn nodded her head in response. “All right. I'll head over there right away.”
Candace decided not to follow Gwendolyn after hearing that. After all, if Michael was looking for
Gwendolyn and she kept following her, he would not be pleased if he heard about it.
Nevertheless, she had to find a way to keep Gwendolyn away from the Lowen family.
Candace stood rooted to her spot and thought of the three children, so she called a housekeeper over,
“Have you seen Ms. Gwendolyn's three children? Where are they?”
The housekeeper lifted her hand and pointed to a spot nearby. “They're playing over there.”
The record player was still playing music, and the little girl was dancing while the two little boys sat on
the couch, not paying attention to her. Their heads were hung low, and they appeared to be playing
with something.
Candace rushed over. Those two boys were too smart and difficult to deal with. I had previously wanted

Now that there was an opportunity, Candace dashed over to Juliette's side. “Juliette, your mommy
asked me to take you to her.”
After that, she smiled as she stretched out her hand and pulled a few strands of Juliette's hair.
Candace deliberately pulled a clump of the little girl's hair out because she despised the latter.
Juliette cried out in pain, “Ouch! It hurts.”
Justin and Julian ran over, looked at Candace coldly, then asked Juliette in a soft voice, “What's wrong,
Juliette? Did she hit you?”
Mommy told us to keep Juliette away from this woman and her daughter. Mommy said they were evil.
Hence, we kept this old woman away from Juliette tonight. However, we didn't expect her to bully
Juliette at this hour.
Juliette pointed at the woman. “She pulled my hair. It hurts!”
Justin kept his gaze fixated on Candace's hand, which held a lock of Juliette's hair.
He walked over, grabbed her wrist, and snatched Juliette's hair back. “What are you doing with
Juliette's hair?”
Although the children were only five years old, they knew a lot, and they were well aware that one's
hair could allow many things to be done.
Candace didn't expect a little boy to be that strong. The force with which he clasped her wrist was so
great that she almost let out a shriek.
Her expression dimmed as she watched the lock of hair, which she had painstakingly obtained,
disappear just like that. The two boys were a pain the neck and weren't easy to deal with.
Candace sighed and cooked up an excuse for her actions, saying, “I saw some bugs in her hair, so I
caught them for her. I was just trying to be nice.”
At that moment, Juliette was still crying due to the pain.
“Is it still hurting, Juliette?” Julian comforted her while stroking her head with his little hand.
The little girl bobbed her head in response. “It is!”
The little girl bobbed her head in response. “It is!”
Julian tossed a glance at the woman, a cold look glinting in his eyes. Following that, his crisp and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpleasant voice rang out. “Apologize to Juliette.”
Candace couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. “Apologize? I told you I was getting the bugs out
of her hair. Shouldn't you guys be thanking me instead?”
She stared at them with her gaze darkened and arms crossed over her chest.
Gwendolyn was a fool when she was younger. I didn't expect her to give birth to such bright children. It
must be the man's genes.
Candace couldn't help but think of Patrick.
Moreover, the temperaments of these two boys are similar to Patrick's.
As soon as the thought popped into her mind, Candace shook her head and brushed it off. I shouldn't
jump to conclusions without confirming the facts. I'll wait until the paternity test results come out.
Otherwise, I refuse to admit that Gwendolyn has lady luck on her side. She definitely did not give birth
to children of the Lowen family. That's impossible!
Gwendolyn and Michael happened to be making their way downstairs. The latter was sending her and
her children off as they needed to head home.
Upon seeing Candace with her children, Gwendolyn panicked and hurried down the steps.
“Slow down, Gwen,” Michael reminded when he saw his granddaughter rushing down the stairs.
