Chapter 503


    “If it weren''t for the fact that Fel is marrying into the Lowen family soon, would they stille?” she


    queried.


    A smug smile bloomed on Candace''s face as she continued, “You have no idea just how jealous


    Francine''s and Christina''s families are. If their daughters could marry someone like Patrick, they''d be


    smiling even in their sleep! And yet you''re still telling me to be cautious and not publicize their


    marriage.”


    The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. As Patrick''s future mother-inw, many socialites


    would be falling over themselves to butter her up.


    However, she didn''t dare to go around spreading rumors as she didn''t want Zachary criticizing her.


    Zachary sighed. “Don''t forget thest time Felicia got engaged but broke it off after. I was utterly


    embarrassed. This time, I won''t consider her married into the Lowen family until she obtains the


    marriage certificate.”


    He was fully aware that it wasn''t easy for Felicia to hold down a man like Patrick.


    If it weren''t for Hector, Patrick would have just ignored Felicia.


    This was something Zachary knew well as he had done a thorough investigation.


    Candace was furious when she was reminded of the previous incident. The family had sent a


    housekeeper to ask for Felicia''s hand in marriage, aplete disrespect to her daughter.


    Zachary''s words made sense to her.


    She got up and hugged him, saying in a coquettish voice, “Darling, you''re so smart! You see through


    everything. Fel and I will keep a low profile. Don''t worry!”


    She nuzzled against him, looking up at him seductively.


    Zachary grew flustered and narrowed his eyes.


    “I''ll go and take a shower. Once I''m done, I''ll deal with you.”


    Candace shyly gave him a little shove. “You''re such a meanie. I''ll be waiting!”


    After Zachary went into the bathroom, she quickly headed to Felicia''s room. Felicia was already lying in


    bed and sat up when she heard the door open.


    “What is it, Mom?” She let out a yawn. After an entire day of pretending to bedylike and being kept


    on her toes while apanying Hector, she waspletely exhausted.


    “Fel, I came to ask you something. Why didn''t Old Mrs. Lowene today?”


    It didn''t make sense that Hector showed up and Alice didn''t on a day like this.

    “Does she not approve of your marriage?” Candace asked.


    Alice certainly looked imposing and assertive. Although Felicia wouldn''t have a mother-inw after


    marrying into the Lowen family, there was still Alice, a hard-to-please grandmother-inw.


    Felicia was very tired and didn''t want to talk at all.


    But when she heard the Lowen family being mentioned, she suddenly became invigorated.


    “That olddy likes Gwendolyn. Don''t you know that already, Mom?”


    When Felicia had attended the socialite gathering previously, she ran into Gwendolyn, who Alice had


    taken with her there. Wasn''t that her basically admitting that Gwendolyn was her granddaughter-in-


    law?


    Naturally, Candace was aware that Alice preferred Gwendolyn.


    Naturally, Candace was aware that Alice preferred Gwendolyn.


    Her face darkened as she asked, “But Old Mr. Lowen already approves of you. She can''t go against


    him, right?”


    I have to know if Old Mrs. Lowen or Old Mr. Lowen is the one who has the final say in that family. If it''s


    the former, then Fel would have a hard time once she marries Patrick.


    Felicia shook her head. “I don''t know either. I feel like the three of them are very highly regarded in the


    family. That olddy is a woman, so she should obey her husband''s every word, but Old Mr. Lowen is


    also afraid of her. But then again, he has a temper, so sometimes Old Mrs. Lowen would be afraid of


    him too.”


    In any case, every member of the Lowen family is a powerful figure. There is no single person that they


    would faithfully obey.


    Candace understood now. Hector and Alice had mutual respect for each other, so buttering up to only


    one of them wouldn''t work. Candace and Felicia would have to work their magic on both.


    She let out a chuckle. “Fel, find out what Old Mrs. Lowen''s interests are. What does she like to do in


    her free time? We''ll begin our attack from there.”


    I''m very sure we''ll be able to get Old Mrs. Lowen on our side by buttering her up!


    Felicia nodded. “Okay, I''ll keep an eye out.”
