Chapter 360
All the executives had solemn faces and were persistent in punishing Gwendolyn for assaulting others.
However, when they saw their boss take the woman's hand and massage it worriedly, they didn't know how to react to the scene before them, especially the mall's manager, who was in a panic.
Oh no! I really want to slap myself right now. What did I just say? Can I take it all back?
Gwendolyn couldn't stop laughing when she saw Patrick bringing a large group of people with him. She felt he had gone overbroad with it.
And as soon as she heard his question, she was speechless. Does this guy have to be so exaggerated?
While massaging her hand, Patrick shot an icy glare at Zachary. Then, he shifted his attention between Candace and Felicia.
“Mr. Carter, please ask you men to think through what they have done. It seems to me their eyesight is poor. How could they fail to differentiate dogs and humans?”
Candace's face instantly became dark when she heard that. How dare he compare us with a dog! Since Patrick was a man with a pretty face, one wouldn't expect him to be so brutal in cursing others.
As for Felicia, the moment she saw Patrick entering the boutique, she couldn't help but tremble in fear.
She gripped her father's sleeve tightly and didn’t dare to meet Patrick's gaze.
After accepting Patrick's criticism, the manager led the executives and the shop assistants to the boutique's entrance.
Before leaving, Liam assured Gwendolyn, “Ms. Ashton, you don't have to worry about your children. I'll go and take care of them now.”
He then swept his cold gaze at the three Ashtons. Though he first thought they would become the Lowen family's relatives, he knew that would only be a pipe dream now since they offended Gwendolyn that day.
At that instant, Liam knew Patrick would be distant and heartless toward the family from that day onward. Liam also decided that he didn't have to be kind to them anymore.
Ms. Ashton is so pretty and cute. How could they bully her? They are very evil! That was another main reason why Liam decided to stop being nice to the family.
“Thank you!” Gwendolyn said after hearing his assurance.
Soon, Patrick, Gwendolyn, and the three members of the Ashton family were the only ones left in the boutique.
Patrick grabbed Gwendolyn's hand and pulled her to the couch to rest her feet. He then glowered at the three people standing in front of him.
Zachary looked extremely upset because he was aware of the misery Felicia suffered. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
How dare Gwendolyn snatch Patrick from my daughter! Her audacity is remarkable!
Candace then showed her red face to Patrick. “Mr. Lowen, Gwendolyn had slapped me. Look at how hard she hit me on the face. I don't mind forgiving her, but I hope she will stop doing this again from now on.”
Felicia furrowed her brows. “Mom, how could you forgive her? It's wrong to slap someone.”
Patrick didn't let go of Gwendolyn's hand when the two ladies took turns to speak. Since he had learned about Felicia's true colors from Gregory, the presentation they gave was merely an act in his eyes.
“Mrs. Ashton, I know what kind of person Gwen is. If you didn't step on her boundaries, she wouldn't do that to you.”
Patrick predicted that Candace must have spoken rudely about Gwendolyn's children. After all, the three children were the most significant person in the world for the latter, and only the three little ones were enough of a reason for her to be unable to control her urge to hit someone.
Candace felt somewhat guilty when she heard Patrick's comment. She then looked around and spotted the surveillance cameras inside the boutique. At that point, she couldn't help but wonder if those cameras recorded voices too. If they did, she would be in huge trouble.
As a result, Candace bit her lip and decided not to face Patrick head-on.
Despite fearing that Patrick would use the surveillance cameras to refute her, the anger inside Candace kept building when she witnessed the concern Patrick had toward Gwendolyn and Patrick's unwillingness to let her stepdaughter's hand go.
What would happen to Fel now? Fel once said that she loves Patrick very much and would only be willing to marry him in this lifetime. Moreover, she is a stubborn girl. If she can't stop loving him, she will have a lot of hard times in the future.
Seeing no one responded to Patrick's comment, Zachary took over the conversation. “Patrick, despite your influence in Avenport, I won't allow you to hurt my child. Didn't you come to the house and announce that you would marry Felicia back then? How could you change your mind within such a short period?”
His accusation startled Felicia.
She bit her lips tightly and decided to meet Hector afterward. Only he could help me with this. I must persuade him to get rid of Gwendolyn. I will not give up until I can get my revenge.
Patrick snickered and casted a glance on Felicia.
“Mr. and Mrs. Ashton, we only have a contract between us. Since she wanted money then, she agreed to be my fake girlfriend, and that was all.”
