Chapter 192
Gwendolyn said in a calm voice, “I'm here because I am part of the Ashton family.”
Felicia was slightly infuriated when she heard her.
“Really? Did Dad forgive you? Did Grandpa forgive you? You have long lost the right to come back here after the shameless thing you did back then,” Felicia retorted.
The moment Felicia mentioned that incident, Gwendolyn turned furious. She walked over and grabbed Felicia's chin with her hand.
Her grip was strong enough to hurt Felicia.
Felicia tried to wrestle out of her grasp, but she could not free herself at all. After so many years of fending for herself, Gwendolyn had gotten much stronger.
Therefore, all Felicia could do was glare at Gwendolyn. “Let me go,” she warned.
“Tell me, Felicia. Who was that man? It was you and your mother who drugged me and brought me to his bed, right?” Gwendolyn sneered.
Having spent a lot of time thinking about everything that happened, she was sure that Felicia and her mother knew the whereabouts of that man.
Felicia was still trying to break free from Gwendolyn's death grip. Her chin was about to get ripped off at this rate. She had just undergone plastic surgery, and it might become deformed if Gwendolyn did not let her go anytime soon.
As she struggled, she continued to glare at Gwendolyn. If looks could kill, Gwendolyn would be dead on the spot.
“Don't look at me like that. I just want you to speak,” Gwendolyn said.
Felicia averted her eyes.
Looking to the left, she taunted, “It's an old man in his seventies. Aren't you together with him right now?”
It seems like the old man is kind of rich. After all, the car that night was quite expensive. It's a pity that I did not manage to see his face. Or maybe, the one who picked her up was not the man himself, but a driver?
Gwendolyn tightened her grip on Felicia's chin. “So, you are admitting that you and your mother did it?”
Felicia glanced back at Gwendolyn. She realized that the woman in front of her probably knew that she had just gotten her chin done not long ago.
She must be doing this on purpose! She's using my chin to threaten me and make me speak.
“I've never said such a thing. If you think I did it, then that's on you,” Felicia quickly denied.
Gwendolyn was really about to destroy her chin when she heard someone walk over. It was Candace, who had overheard the conversation between the two.
“What brings you here, Gwen? Your dad is over there. Go and say hi.”
Keeping her kind stepmother act up, Candace took Gwendolyn's hand and brought her over to Zachary.
Michael was there as well, talking to Zachary and the others.
With a loud giggle, Candace said to her husband, “Look who's here, darling!”
Although she did not dare to show her displeasure, Candace cursed Gwendolyn in her heart. How dare she walk into the Ashton residence like she owns it? Does she still think she's the princess that everyone fawns over?
She could not wait for Gwendolyn to be chased out by Zachary. It would be even better if Michael did it.
Once that happened, Gwendolyn would never return back here. As long as Candace was around, Gwendolyn would never have a place in the family.
When Zachary caught sight of Gwendolyn, his face darkened.
“Why are you here?” he asked in a cold tone.
With that sentence alone, Gwendolyn understood that her father did not want to see her at all. Her heart could not help but clench. Naturally, she was hurt. He was her father, after all. All daughters had a special relationship with their fathers. It was natural for her to yearn for his love and care.
I should have gotten used to this long ago. I should have known that he is nothing but a cold-blooded person. There is no way I could get his love.
“I'm here to see Grandpa,” she replied calmly.
Zachary scoffed. “There is no need for you to see him. Stop appearing in front of him, and he'll be fine.”
Those words were the result of Candace's continuous brainwashing. As time went on, Zachary blindly believed in Candace and started disliking Gwendolyn even more.
Zachary knew that Michael took his reputation very seriously. When that incident happened, the latter had gotten incredibly furious. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Gwendolyn would only make him angry again with her appearance.
However, Michael spoke up. “I asked her to come. Do you have a problem with it?” he asked in a stern voice.
