Chapter 211


    With their arms linked, they walked into the hotel, where the staff led them to the banquet hall on the


    first floor.


    Instead of the bride and groom, the Ashton family weed the guests at the entrance.


    Candace and Zachary were weing the guests at the entrance. As everyone knew Patrick''s parents


    were not around anymore, they could understand why there was no one from the Lowen family to


    wee the guests.


    Zachary, dressed in a silver-gray suit, seemed lively with a broad smile. One could tell he was


    genuinely happy.


    Meanwhile, Candace wore a long white evening gown and gorgeous makeup, making her look elegant.


    When they saw Gwendolyn, their face fell.


    In a cold voice, Zachary uttered, “She didn''t show up when we asked her toe over for gown fitting.


    So, that''s because she''s attending the event with someone else.”


    With a sneer, Candace said, “Darling, both of your daughters are so capable. Fel is marrying the head


    of the most influential family in Avenport, while Gwen will be marrying into the second most powerful


    family.”


    As Zachary nced coldly at Zayden and Gwendolyn at the front, Zayden walked up to them and said


    calmly, “Mr. Ashton, Mrs. Ashton, congrattions!”


    Although Candace and Zachary were not fond of Gwendolyn, they would still show respect for Zachary.


    “Mr. Surrington, this way, please. Your parents are inside. Do you need my help to show you where


    they are?”


    Nodding slightly, Zayden answered, “No. I am here with my girlfriend today.”


    He implied he was not ready to let Gwendolyn meet his parents.


    Holding Zayden''s hands, Gwendolyn stood by his side gracefully and stunningly.


    After they entered the banquet hall, Candace let out a sigh.


    “Darling, Gwen is not willing to tell us anything at all. I guess she doesn''t see us as her family


    anymore.”


    Old Mr. Ashton should see this to realize what kind of person his precious granddaughter is.


    Zachary''s gaze darkened as he muttered, “There''s no way she could marry into the Surrington family.”


    She has three children, and yet she wants to marry into the Surrington family. In her dreams.


    Seeing Zachary siding with her now, Candace thought Gwendolyn wouldn''t pose as a threat even after


    she returned to the Ashton residence.


    After Gwendolyn followed Zayden into the banquet hall, the usher led them to their seats.


    Kevin and Lucas, who came to attend the event, stood at the lounge entrance on the second floor,


    seemingly chatting with each other.


    Suddenly, Kevin pointed at Gwendolyn and Zayden, who walked to their seats with their arms linked.


    Narrowing his eyes, Kevin said, “Look, Luke. Gwen is here and has also brought a malepanion.


    I''m telling Pat.”


    Looking down the stairs, Lucas saw Gwendolyn and thought of that woman.


    As it had been days since hest saw her, he was surprised he missed her.


    He grinned, stood straight, and walked into the lounge behind him.


    Patrick, who was dressed in a ck suit and sitting on the couch, brought the cigarette between his


    fingers to his lips from time to time.


    He didn''t seem like someone getting engaged, but he seemed as if he was about to go to war.


    Sitting beside him, Kevin picked up a ss of wine and slowly took a sip.


    “Pat, Gwen is here too.”


    When Patrick heard his words, his eyes sparkled before he nced at them.


    “What is she doing here? I did not send her an invitation.”


    That dumb woman. Does she enjoy seeing me getting engaged to another woman?


    Patrick''s tone was cold and terrifying while the temperature in the room slightly dropped.


    Kevin clutched the wine ss elegantly while swirling the wine gently.


    “I bet she came with Zayden. She is his femalepanion for today. Gwen looks so beautiful, and the


    gown suits her perfectly.”


    Then, Patrick rose to his feet and strode out of the lounge.

    Lucas grinned and stated, “Pat, the bride has been waiting for you at the lounge on the first floor all this


    time, but I don''t see you getting so worked up.”


    How could he? He just can''t wait to dash to Gwen''s side when he hears she is here.


    After exchanging looks, Kevin and Lucas smiled and followed Patrick out of the lounge.


    Patrick stood near the stairwell railing and nced down to look for Gwendolyn''s silhouette.
