Chapter 36
Patrick watched Gwendolyn rushing over with her heels in her hand like she was prepared to go all out in that fight.
He chuckled softly, thinking she could not possibly be more adorable.
Liam felt as if he had just done something right by showing Patrick the video as soon as he found it.
As expected, Ms. Ashton is indeed Mr. Lowen's type. Mr. Lowen rarely ever smiles, and he always acts like an ice statue. He's so cold he makes me want to quit my job.
“I shall bail Ms. Ashton out right now, Mr. Lowen.”
Seeing Gwendolyn being taken away by the police, Liam took the initiative to bail her out. After all, he had nothing to see and everything to gain by pleasing the future wife of the CEO.
Patrick narrowed his eyes after watching the video. Saving her is a must. That girl must be frightened.
Thinking of how he had scared her last night, he decided to personally go to her now. Perhaps it would help her reduce her anger toward him, too.
With that, he stood up and said, “I'll go there myself.”
Liam was slightly taken aback. There was, in fact, no need for Patrick to do that personally.
However, Liam realized that Patrick had just agreed with his idea.
Since Gwendolyn was very likely going to become Patrick's wife in the future, Liam decided to go with Patrick.
“I will ask them to get the car ready, Mr. Lowen.”
Patrick put on his black coat and took his car keys. “There's no need for that. I'll go there by myself.”
Liam stopped in his tracks. What a manipulative man! If he went all by himself to save Ms. Ashton, she's definitely going to be moved.
At the police station, Gwendolyn and Lucy gave their statements. Both of them called Jared a j*rk for betraying his wife and refusing to save his child.
The police empathized with them as well, as they loathed bad guys as much as those two women.
Regardless, Gwendolyn and Lucy had indeed beaten someone up, which was considered an intentional assault. It was a serious case seeing as they had broken the law.
Jared and his mistress, Xena Chantrell, insisted on suing them, and the police were stuck in a difficult position.
Gwendolyn and Lucy were locked up in the same interrogation room. They were asked to call someone to bail them out and prepare for a lawsuit.
Lucy came in after Gwendolyn, and she sat beside Gwendolyn with an apologetic expression.
“It's all my fault for involving you in this, Gwen.”
Now that we're both in here, what's going to happen to our kids?
As Lucy thought about this, she could not help but slap herself.
“It's all my fault. Why would I still put hope in that j*rk? He would've gone long ago if he intended to undergo the test. What's the use of throwing a tantrum?” she berated herself.
Gwendolyn hugged her and said, “That was my first fight, and it felt pretty good. Whenever I think about Melanie, I'd feel like doing more than just beating up that shameless couple.”
Gwendolyn smiled before continuing, “We're best friends, Lucy. Let's not talk about this right now. More importantly, we have to find someone to bail us out.”
Gwendolyn did not have many friends for the past few years. Working hard every day to provide for her three children, she had not had time to meet new friends.
Sometimes, her previous colleagues would invite her out for a meal or shopping.
Yet, she always declined them, as she was too busy. As time passed, everyone stopped inviting her out because they thought she was wrapped up with work. That was why she slowly lost all her friends.
It was the same for Lucy as well. Due to her daughter's sickness, Lucy had to borrow money from her relatives. After that, everyone was afraid of her, and they avoided her like the plague.
Lucy said bitterly, “Everyone immediately hangs up on me when they hear my voice on the phone. How would they possibly pay for my bail?” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
The two exchanged looks and smiled.
Their situations were shockingly alike.
Gwendolyn sighed. “When can both of us live like normal people?”
Just then, the door swung open, and in came two police officers. “Gwendolyn, someone is here to bail you out.”
