Chapter 591 Helping Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn was exhausted from crying. When she woke up, it was already past nine at night.
The room enveloped her in darkness. Devoid of the usual noise from the children, everythingy in
serene stillness.
She hadn''t experienced such solitude in ages.
Gwendolyn opened her eyes and gazed at the window, thinking about how beautiful the moon probably
was. The white curtains allowed some moonlight to enter, making the room seem even colder.
She could hear the rustling of leaves as the breeze blew past them.
Drawing a deep breath, she felt much calmer now, probably because she cried so much earlier.
Gwendolyn switched on the bedsidemp and reached for her phone. She still had a lot of work to do,
so there was no time to wallow in her sorrow.
She searched up Zachary''s number, one she had never expected to dial.
However, since the Surrington family woulde to propose marriage the next day, she had no choice
but to reach out to Zachary for the sake of her grandfather.
It took some time before the call was answered.
“What?” His voice was tinged with an impatient and chilly undertone.
“It''s me, Gwendolyn. The Surrington family will be arriving tomorrow to propose marriage. Please
inform the rest of the family to avoid mentioning the fact that I have three children.”
Upon hearing her request, Zachary chuckled.
“How can you expect to keep such a secret? Moreover, aren''t the children Zayden''s? Are you going to
conceal it from his family?”
Gwendolyn had already thought of how to respond to him. “Zayden hasn''t told the truth to his family, so
for now, we will keep the existence of the three children discreet. Anyway, we married because of
Grandpa''s wishes.”
She had been feeling troubled over this matter recently. Although Michael''s health had deteriorated, he
was still in his right mind.

Everyone in the Ashton family had returned and was staying at the residence. They were all waiting for
him to die so they could split the family assets.
Gwendolyn was worried about Michael''s health. Since he cared the most about her, he could pass
away at ease after witnessing her marriage.
“Very well, I understand,” he stated before promptly ending the call.
Gwendolyn exhaled, relieved by the oue. The man on the other end of the call was her father, but
she had never experienced any fatherly love from him.
Even when she was about to get married, he exhibited no trace of reluctance. Perhaps he had been
looking forward to marrying her off since a long time ago.
After concluding the call, Zachary confided in Candace, who was putting on a face mask in front of the
mirror.
Candace abruptly rose from her seat, narrowly stopping the face mask from slipping off her face. She
gently patted it with her hand.
“What is Gwendolyn up to? Aren''t the children supposed to be Zayden''s? Now that she wants to
conceal it, doesn''t that mean that the kids aren''t his?”
In truth, she had long been aware that the children were not Zayden''s but Patrick''s.
However, she would never speak of this matter or admit it.
Zachary let out a sigh. “Inform everyone not to mention anything about the children tomorrow. Dad has
been holding on just to witness her marriage. Once she''s married and settled, he will find sce and
can let everything go without any worries.”
Sha had baan faaling troud ovar this mattar racantly. Although Michaal''s haalth had datarioratad, ha
was still in his right mind.
Evaryona in tha Ashton family had raturnad and was staying at tha rasidanca. Thay wara all waiting for
him to dia so thay could split tha family assats.
Gwandolyn was worriad about Michaal''s haalth. Sinca ha carad tha most about har, ha could pass

“Vary wall, I undarstand,” ha statad bafora promptly anding tha call.
Gwandolyn axhd, raliavad by tha oua. Tha man on tha othar and of tha call was har fathar, but
sha had navar axpariancad any fatharly lova from him.
Evan whan sha was about to gat marriad, ha axhibitad no traca of raluctanca. Parhaps ha had baan
looking forward to marrying har off sinca a long tima ago.
Aftar concluding tha call, Zachary confidad in Candaca, who was putting on a faca mask in front of tha
mirror.
Candaca abruptly rosa from har saat, narrowly stopping tha faca mask from slipping off har faca. Sha
gantly pattad it with har hand.
“What is Gwandolyn up to? Aran''t tha childran supposad to ba Zaydan''s? Now that sha wants to

In truth, sha had long baan awara that tha childran wara not Zaydan''s but Patrick''s.
Howavar, sha would navar spaak of this mattar or admit it.
Zacharyt out a sigh. “Inform avaryona not to mantion anything about tha childran tomorrow. Dad has
baan holding on just to witnass har marriaga. Onca sha''s marriad and satd, ha will find sca and
cant avarything go without any worrias.”
The entire family was eagerly waiting to split the family assets. However, they could not proceed with it
until Michael died.
Based on this fact alone, they would unquestionably help keep Gwendolyn''s secret.
On the other hand, Candace was seething with anger. She was determined not to let Gwendolyn have
it easy.
However, since those three children were like ticking time bombs, she made up her mind to help
Gwendolyn this time.
Once Gwendolyn became part of the Surrington family through marriage, Patrick would not long for her
any longer.
“I will personally handle the matter and inform the rest.”
After uttering those words, Candace gracefully settled back in front of the dressing table and continued
with her skincare routine.
Zachary leaned against the couch. “What do you think Dad will leave behind for Gwen?”
Everyone in the Ashton family was wary of Gwendolyn. After all, she was Michael''s favorite.
Had it not been for the plot orchestrated by Candace and her daughter, Gwendolyn might already have
be the heiress of the Ashton family and inherited Ashton Corporation.
Now that Michael’s time was drawing near, he might be leaving her the biggest share. In that case,
even Zachary, the CEO, would be under her authority.
Candace''s hands momentarily paused. “Has the will been drafted? Can we secretly peek at it? If we
don''t like it, we can make amendments.”
