Chapter 281
Diana had heard Angeline when the latter was on the phone, so she followed Angeline in secret to see what was going on.
Little did she expect to see such a shocking scene. From what she saw, she could confirm that Gwendolyn and Patrick had genuinely gotten together.
However, Candace didn't believe it at all, and she kept thinking that there was no way Gwendolyn could get married into the Lowen family.
It seems that Fel doesn't have any chance at all now. Oh well. That's great. Otherwise, Candace is going to act as proud as a peacock.
In no time, Candace called her. Diana answered it while smiling with a glint of mischief in her eyes.
“Did you hear the news, Candace? Gwendolyn is really in a relationship with Patrick. I'm certain she's the reason why Fel's engagement was canceled.”
Candace was already in a bad mood when she called Diana, but the moment she heard what the latter said, her face scrunched up with hatred. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Back then, she was only able to become Zachary's wife because of her schemes. She had used Isabella Myers' extraordinary beauty to make Zachary feel insecure. Consequently, whenever he saw Isabella talking to any other man, he would overthink things.
With that, Candace used that weakness of his to make him paranoid that Isabella was having an affair. In the end, Zachary kicked her out of the Ashton family due to those fabricated suspicions, and Candace successfully became the new Mrs. Ashton.
Now, her dumb daughter wishes to steal Fel's man? She must have a death wish!
“Thanks for telling me, Diana. I'll hang up now.”
It was apparent that she didn't sound very happy because of her sullen voice.
Diana added, “Candace, are you mad? That Gwendolyn is really something. Not only was she able to make Zayden entangled with her, but she even got the Lowens' acknowledgment too.”
Those words were like a sharp sword piercing through Candace's heart.
That woman... Other than having her mother's beauty, she is simply a good-for-nothing! Besides, she even gave birth to kids with an old man in his seventies! What right does she have?
Candace snorted and answered, “I'm hanging up now.”
She hurriedly hung up the call and forcefully threw her phone aside out of anger.
What tricks did Gwendolyn use to make the Lowens acknowledge her? Even when Fel had almost gotten engaged to Patrick, Old Mrs. Lowen had no intention of acknowledging her at all! In the end, she even canceled the engagement in front of our friends and family!
She frowned. If I put all these pieces of the puzzle together, it seems like Gwendolyn is getting her revenge on us. Perhaps, she's the one who urged Patrick to call off the engagement during the ceremony so that Fel would get humiliated!
Suddenly, she stood up, got out of the room, and made her way to Felicia's room.
The moment she entered her daughter's room, she saw the latter doing her makeup in front of the vanity mirror. Look how gorgeous Fel is! If I'm a man, I'll definitely marry a lady like her.
Candace pursed her lips slightly as she walked to Felicia's side to look at her daughter through the mirror.
Felicia's facial features were delicate, pretty, and charming. Candace genuinely felt that her daughter was the most beautiful woman on Earth.
Felicia took her lipstick and applied it as she made eye contact with her mother through the mirror.
“What's the matter, Mom?”
Suddenly, Candace's face fell as she crossed her arms.
“Fel, I have something to tell you. Please be mentally prepared.”
Felicia had finished putting on her lipstick. She raised a brow.
“Go on.”
“Gwendolyn was the reason behind your canceled engagement. She's dating Patrick now. Furthermore, Old Mrs. Lowen even brought her to a socialite gathering, which means that the Lowens have acknowledged her.”
Felicia's expression dulled slightly after she heard that.
In fact, she had already sensed that something was out of the ordinary from the moment Gwendolyn's office was in Patrick's.
It was just that she didn't want to admit it to herself and kept using the contract to hold onto the man in hopes of getting him back from Gwendolyn.
She turned around and hugged Candace's waist while weeping.
“Mom... It's Gwendolyn. She's the one who stole Patrick away from me. I'm so upset.”
