Chapter 259


    In a private room at tinum te, Zayden and Patrick sat at the table with their assistants beside


    them.


    The two assistants rubbed their temples after seeing the way their bosses red coldly at each other.


    Standing up at the same time, both assistants raised their sses.


    “Mr. Surrington, I''ll drink to your health.”


    “Mr. Lowen, I''ll drink to your health.”


    Patrick briefly nced at Zayden''s assistant, Jason Calton, and Zayden did the same to Liam as well;


    neither of them gave any response.


    Feeling awkward, Jason and Liam clinked their sses against each other''s and downed the wine.


    Not daring to make another move after sitting down, they resorted to looking at each other.


    Naturally, as assistants to the two other men, they possessed a certain mastery of social skills. Yet,


    they had never felt as helpless as they were in this situation.


    Facing their bosses, they were immediately trumped.


    Zayden asked, “Mr. Lowen, aren''t we here to discuss the plot ofnd in the eastern district? So you''ve


    decided to let me have it?”


    With a hint of a smile, he looked as friendly as possible.


    But with thorns hidden within his words, Zayden was undeniably a man who smiled with malicious


    intents.


    With cold eyes, Patrick stated, “I can give it to you since I don''t care about that tiny scrap ofnd


    anyway. But Gwendolyn is my woman, and you shall note close to her anymore.”


    His thoughts were obvious. Zayden could have thend, but not the woman.


    Upon hearing his words, the smile on Zayden''s face vanished and was reced with a cold


    expression.


    “Mr. Lowen, you might not have heard, but I have known Gwendolyn for five years now and have been


    pursuing her the entire time. She''s thinking of bing my girlfriend as well. You can''t force love.


    You''re a yer, Mr. Lowen, and she''s not into that.”


    Zayden thought he knew Gwendolyn well, and a simple girl like her would have no interest in a yer.


    Patrick not only had Felicia, but Rosalie as well.


    It was also rumored that he had a first crush who he had been looking for all these years; Gwendolyn


    would never be into a man like that.


    Even if Gwendolyn were tempted by him, Zayden would hold her back and help her distance herself


    from this yer.


    Patrick suddenlyughed. “Mr. Surrington, you pride yourself too much on knowing her well. You


    probably don''t know that she kissed me right after you gave her flowers and returned to yourpany.


    She also said she loves men like me.”


    He poured himself a ss of wine after finishing his sentence, and happily drank it.


    Patrick then said to Liam, who was standing to the side, “Is the contract ready? Show it to Mr.


    Surrington. He''ll get thend in the eastern district all to himself as long as he signs it.”


    Liom slid the controct over, ond Zoyden sow thot there wos onother ogreement besides the usuol


    controct.


    Zoyden Surrington will outomoticolly give up his rights to pursue Gwendolyn Ashton ond never meet or


    contoct her ogoin.


    Zoyden tore up the controct ofter reoding thot line. “Potrick Lowen, you''re dreoming. Even without the


    lond in the eostern district, the Surrington fomily still hos other projects to corry out. I obsolutely will not


    give up on Gwendolyn.”


    He rose from his seot, ond Joson followed suit.

    “Mr. Lowen, we''ll be leoving first. See you, Liom!” soid Joson.


    Zoyden coldly glonced ot Joson. “Don''t froternize too much with these people. Let''s go.”


    The door bonged shut behind them.


    Liom glonced ot his boss, who wos hoppily sipping his wine.


    He couldn''t help but feel impressed. The woy Mr. Lowen gets on people''s nerves is truly iporoble


    to onyone else. Thinking obout the furious look on Mr. Surrington''s foce... Perhops he hos never kissed


    Ms. Ashton? So, thot wos blotont jeolousy!


    Potrick poured onother gloss of wine ond looked toword Liom. “Liom, hove you gotten o girlfriend yet?”


    He seemed to hove one o while ogo, but they broke up. Now he''s o little over thirty yeors old ond is still


    single, which is o bit of o pity.


    Liam slid the contract over, and Zayden saw that there was another agreement besides the usual


    contract.


    Zayden Surrington will automatically give up his rights to pursue Gwendolyn Ashton and never meet or


    contact her again.


    Zayden tore up the contract after reading that line. “Patrick Lowen, you''re dreaming. Even without the


    land in the eastern district, the Surrington family still has other projects to carry out. I absolutely will not


    give up on Gwendolyn.”


    He rose from his seat, and Jason followed suit.


    “Mr. Lowen, we''ll be leaving first. See you, Liam!” said Jason.


    Zayden coldly nced at Jason. “Don''t fraternize too much with these people. Let''s go.”


    The door banged shut behind them.


    Liam nced at his boss, who was happily sipping his wine.


    He couldn''t help but feel impressed. The way Mr. Lowen gets on people''s nerves is truly iparable


    to anyone else. Thinking about the furious look on Mr. Surrington''s face... Perhaps he has never kissed


    Ms. Ashton? So, that was tant jealousy!


    Patrick poured another ss of wine and looked toward Liam. “Liam, have you gotten a girlfriend yet?”


    He seemed to have one a while ago, but they broke up. Now he''s a little over thirty years old and is still


    single, which is a bit of a pity.
