Chapter 493
Gwendolyn avoided his gaze as she didn''t dare to meet his eyes.
Michael suddenly called out, “Zayden,e over here.”
When she heard this, Gwendolyn''s heart skipped a beat. She had initially thought that even if Michael
announced her engagement to Zayden, she could still find a way to break it off since she believed that
Patrick would not be present.
However, she was at a loss on what to do now.
With Suzanne''s support, Zayden walked up to the stage and stood beside Gwendolyn.
Michael then pointed at him. “Everyone probably knows who this is. He''s Zayden Surrington, and my
granddaughter is getting engaged to him soon. This is also something to rejoice about today. Let''s get
started on the banquet! I hope everyone has a good time and enjoys the food here!”
With that, the housekeeper took his microphone.
Michael nced at Zayden and said, “I have publicly left Gwen to you. Please treat her well, Zay.”
He ced Gwendolyn''s hands in Zayden''s, resulting in a smile spreading across thetter''s face.
“I will, Old Mr. Ashton. I''ll love and protect her for the rest of her life.”
Gwendolyn stood there in a daze, her eyes remaining fixed on Patrick. She wished for the ability to fly
to his side and exin to him that everything was all a misunderstanding.
She only wanted to marry him in this lifetime.
Patrick was exceptionally eye-catching, standing in the crowd. His gaze was so cold that the air around
them seemed to solidify.
Liam couldn''t help but feel a shiver. How did Ms. Ashton get engaged to Mr. Surrington so suddenly?
What about Mr. Lowen?
Upon this thought, he nced at his enraged boss, who seemed to be on the verge of explosion.
Liam''s gaze then traveled to his boss'' head.
Mr. Lowen still has a bullet in his head because of Ms. Ashton. How could Ms. Ashton abandon him like
this? How could she be heartless and do this to him? Wait a moment!
Suddenly, Liam''s eyes widened. Ms. Ashton doesn''t even know that the bullet is still in Mr. Lowen''s
head! T-This... Oh no, what do I do?
Just when things seemed to be turning out well for them, Gwendolyn found a new love. It seemed that
the next few days would be chaotic for Lowen Group.
At this moment, Felicia walked over to them. She was donning a red gown with a long train, which
seemed extremely luxurious.
She walked over to Hector first. “Old Mr. Lowen, you''re here.”
Hector nced at her with a smile.

“Of course, we wille to your family banquet, Fel. However, I didn''t know you have an older sister,
and I certainly didn''t expect it to be her.”
Felicia smiled. “She''s the daughter of my father''s ex-wife. She left the family to give birth. Now that the
children''s father is back, my grandfather wanted to clear the air about the past.”
Although Felicia didn''t explicitly state it, Hector knew that Gwendolyn''s children were born out of
wedlock.
He nodded. “Okay, that''s great. At least it will clear her name. The man should''ve stood up and taken
responsibility for his actions, after all.”
With that, he nced at Patrick. “Pat, today is Fel''s family banquet. As her boyfriend, you should act
the part of a good future son-inw.”
Patrick wasn''t listening to his grandfather at all. Instead, his gaze was fixated on the turquoise figure on
the stage.
She looked gorgeous in her gown, but her beautiful smile sent a pang in his heart.
Gwendolyn never told him that she was from the Ashton family.
Gwen, I can''t tell the truth from your lies.
Despite his sincerity in their rtionship, he felt Gwendolyn had treated him like garbage. He had given
her his heart, but all she did was smash it into smithereens.
His gaze turned cold, and he emanated overwhelming iciness.
Felicia was about to greet him when she noticed his hostile demeanor. Terrified, she didn''t dare
approach the man.
