Chapter 476
Chapter 476
Felicia was absolutely livid. She could not comprehend Patrick's words from earlier. However, she knew that Patrick's attitude toward her right now was entirely due to Gwendolyn.
It's all Gwendolyn's fault! If it wasn't for her, Patrick and I would be so in love with each other!
She felt even more confident now that she had Hector's support.
Felicia recalled the incident when Zayden came over. Her grandfather had decided that Zayden was the three children's father, and she decided to let it be.
Anyway, they would be unable to determine Gwendolyn's crimes if that man did not appear, and since Zayden wanted to be with Gwendolyn so badly, Felicia was going to fulfill his wish.
When Felicia came out from Lowen Group, her car was already waiting for her. The driver inquired as soon as she got into the vehicle, “Where to next, Ms. Felicia?”
Recently, she had gone to the Lowen residence practically every day.
But that day, she had a change of heart and decided on a different destination. “Home.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
The driver was surprised by her answer. Nevertheless, he started the engine and drove in the direction of the Ashton residence.
Roughly an hour later, they arrived at the Ashton residence. Felicia sobbed as she got out of the car and ran into the house.
The driver was taken aback when he saw Felicia's reaction.
I can't believe a person like this exists in this world. She changes her behavior in the blink of an eye! Throughout the drive back, Felicia maintained an aloof demeanor. However, she turned on the
waterworks the moment she got out of the car.
Candace hurried downstairs when she heard her daughter sobbing. Even Michael came out of the study to see what was happening.
Candace had sent the housekeeper to get Michael.
When he arrived at the living room and saw Felicia crying piteously, he asked, “Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!”
His thunderous exclamation shook the entire house.
Felicia and Candace were both stunned. After a moment, Candace was the first to regain her senses. “Dad, someone must have done something to Fel. She'd never behave like this otherwise!”
Michael came over and took a seat on the couch. “What happened that made you so sad?”
Felicia dabbed at her tears. “Grandpa, Gwendolyn seduced my boyfriend. She's trying to steal Patrick from me!”
She continued to wail after uttering the words.
Candace's expression turned grim as she began to scold, “What? Gwendolyn seduced Patrick? Isn't she with Zayden? Her greed truly knows no bounds!”
Similarly, Michael's expression turned darker by the second.
Following that, Candace's accusations grew worse. “She's so shameless! She's unwed but already has three kids. Now, she's trying to steal Fel's boyfriend from her! How can someone be so brazen?”
This was the first time Michael had heard that Gwendolyn was trying to steal Patrick. In his heart, Gwendolyn and Patrick were the perfect match. Upon hearing the accusation, he exploded in anger
and slapped his knee. “What nonsense is this?”
He did not believe that Gwendolyn would do such a thing.
Although she had made mistakes before, it was not a mistake she had made alone. The man shared equal blame.
Felicia had assumed that Michael would immediately call for Gwendolyn after hearing her complaint, and since the latter was already together with Patrick, it would give Felicia's tale more credibility.
However, Michael wasn't one to go by the book.
Felicia was dumbfounded. I've gone to such great lengths to put on a convincing act. Why doesn't Grandpa believe me?
Candace quickly changed tracks. “Dad, weren't you planning to throw a party for Gwendolyn this weekend? Why don't you announce her engagement to Zayden at the same time? That way, we'll be able to confirm that she has nothing going on with Patrick.”
Prior to returning, Felicia had discussed the matter with Candace in advance. They planned to force Michael into allowing Gwendolyn's and Zayden's engagement.
That way, Gwendolyn would no longer harbor hopes of marrying into the Lowen family.
Once Felicia managed to obtain Hector's favor, naturally, her plan would be a success.
Felicia and Candace only had one motive, which was to ensure that the former married into the Lowen family and become Avenport's top lady. They no longer cared if Gwendolyn found a decent place to stay.
Even if Gwendolyn managed to find a decent man for herself, it wouldn't matter to them anymore.
