Chapter 525


    Chapter 525 She Became The CEO


    Patrick got up, walked to Hector''s side, and rang the bell.


    Shortly after, the doctor and nurses arrived. They had been diligently attending to Hector since he


    regained consciousness.


    Patrick and Alice were overjoyed when Hector finally woke up. They considered it a miraculous


    blessing from above.


    Hence, Alice decided to go to church and fast for a month. She wanted to show her appreciation to the


    divine for Hector''s recovery.


    The doctor conducted a thorough examination of Hector and then provided a report on his condition to


    Patrick. “Mr. Lowen, Old Mr. Lowen''s condition is stable. All his vital signs are within normal range.”


    Patrick was relieved to hear the positive report from the doctor. He nodded in gratitude. “That''s great!”


    Patrick was known for being a man of few words when conversing with outsiders, often opting to


    remain silent.


    The doctors and nurses were ustomed to Patrick''s reserved attitude.


    Patrick turned his gaze toward Hector and informed, “Grandpa, I need to get back to work. If you''re not


    feeling well, make sure to inform me.”


    As Hector reflected on the progress of Lowen Group under Patrick''s leadership, he acknowledged the


    significant strides thepany had made. He realized that Patrick had put in considerable effort to


    strengthen the business.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    With a sense of concern, Hector advised Patrick, “You should take some rest before returning to work.”


    I made a mistake pretending to be sickst night. It''s not right to burden Pat''s rest. I won''t use my


    health to pressure him anymore.


    Patrick turned and headed toward the door.


    Hector then instructed, “Fel, please check if breakfast is ready. Make sure Pat eats it before going to


    thepany.”


    Felicia nodded. “Okay, I''ll go check it out.”


    As Felicia and Patrick left the bedroom, the door closing behind them, Patrick''s voice turned chilly.


    “Felicia, don''t think for a moment that I''ll marry you just because of Grandpa. It''s never going to


    happen.”


    After firmly stating his stance, Patrick strode toward his bedroom, his back radiating an aura of


    coldness.


    Felicia stood frozen in ce, watching Patrick''s retreating figure with a sense of disbelief. His cold


    attitude toward her sent chills down her spine.


    Felicia was utterly baffled by the contrasting treatment she received from Patrick inparison to


    Gwendolyn. As the one who knew Patrick first and had been in a rtionship with him at his own


    invitation, she couldn''t understand why he was keeping her at arm''s length while being affectionate and


    close to Gwendolyn. This sudden change in Patrick''s behavior left Felicia feeling utterly bewildered and


    thoroughly perplexed.


    Gwendolyn is to me. With her seductive looks, she has managed to captivate Patrick''s attention and


    lure him away.


    Patrick retreated to his room, where he took a shower and donned a meticulously tailored ck suit,


    giving him an abstemious appearance.


    He retrieved his phone and dialed Gwendolyn''s number, feeling displeased about her departure the


    previous night.


    The call connected, but no one answered it.


    Patrick''s face darkened. The phone rang incessantly, but there was no answer on the other end until


    the call automatically ended.


    Gwendolyn felt utterly drained as she exited the conference room. She had never experienced such


    overwhelming anxiety before.


    Despite the fact that the executives were now her subordinates, Gwendolyn couldn''t help but feel


    anxious as she faced them. Her self-confidence had taken a hit due to the challenges she had faced in


    society in the past. However, she managed to persevere, and her performance had been


    commendable.


    Connor apanied Gwendolyn as they walked together. As the elevator doors opened, the man


    quickly pressed the open button and pointed toward the direction of the CEO''s office. He then spoke.


    “Ms. Ashton, your office is in that direction.”


    Avenport''s office was originally just a branch, but it was about to undergo a transformation as


    Gwendolyn would now be stationed here, making it the new main branch.


    As Gwendolyn entered the CEO''s office, all the secretaries stood up and greeted her, “Hello, Ms.


    Ashton!”


    Gwendolyn acknowledged their greetings with a slight nod and said, “Hello, everyone! Please resume


    your work.”


    She proceeded to her office and settled into her white office chair as she entered the room.


    The office appeared to have been recently renovated, with a predominantly white color scheme that


    created a bright and fresh ambiance while maintaining a sense of tastefulness.


    Gwendolyn finally checked her phone, worried that her children might have been trying to reach her.


    She had kept her phone on silent during the meeting.


    When she checked, she saw several missed calls. Three of them were from Zayden, one was from


    Michael, and the other was from Patrick.


    She was surprised to see Patrick''s call.
