Perfect CEO

Soon, Zayden replied: Is there anything that you need? I'd love to help out.

Gwendolyn felt much better after having half a bowl of oatmeal porridge and was ready to go upstairs to sleep again.

The illness had left her feeling weak.

However, she could not help but frown after reading Zayden's reply.

She texted him: I just wanted to know how much a CEO's time typically costs. Tell me. I'll keep your words a secret.

When she finished texting Zayden, Gwendolyn poured a glass of water and went upstairs. She then found some medication and went to bed after taking it.

Before she slept, Gwendolyn looked at her phone and noticed that Zayden had replied to her message.

Zayden texted: If any important deals or transactions are to be negotiated that morning, they could be worth tens of millions.

The reason Zayden had replied to her that way was that he wanted to let her know how valuable his time and worth were, and that he would give up his own time and money for her.

Gwendolyn sighed upon reading his reply. She knew Zayden would never lie to her.

He was kind and generous enough to save her life, and he had even helped her out multiple times after that. In fact, he could have run away after encountering that situation.

After all, Gwendolyn had been badly injured at that time, and it was hard to determine whether she had indeed been run over by a car.

However, due to his excellent family upbringing and his kind heart, Zayden had not fled the scene. Not only that, but he had also taken her to the hospital and mobilized the best medical team to save both her and her unborn babies.

Thus, she was forever grateful for his kindness toward her, and she felt that she should not take up too much of his valuable time, hoping he would find his own happiness and love.

She was relieved to know that Patrick had not tricked her with his words. In that case, Gwendolyn would have to work hard to repay the money she owed him.

She finally put away her phone and went to sleep. Perhaps because of the medication, she fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, Felicia and Candace were holding hands together while walking toward the Ashton residence.

Felicia felt concerned and asked, “Mom, are you sure that we have to tell Grandpa about Gwendolyn returning to Avenport?”

Back then, Gwendolyn had been locked up at the Ashton residence while she was waiting to undergo surgery. However, before she could do so, both Felicia and Candace had made their move to get rid of Gwendolyn instead. The Ashton family was not aware of their evil deeds.

After Gwendolyn had disappeared, everyone in the family assumed she had escaped by herself, and they even assumed she had eloped with the man who impregnated her.

Only Felicia and Candace knew she was already dead.

Thus, upon knowing that Gwendolyn was still alive and kicking, Candace felt threatened. They had to get Gwendolyn to return to the Ashton residence so they could keep her under control.

Otherwise, they were afraid that their evil deeds would be exposed.

If Gwendolyn's grandfather, Michael Ashton, were to learn about what they had done to Gwendolyn, both Candace and Felicia would be in deep trouble.

Candace nodded her head. “Of course. Old Mr. Ashton seems to miss Gwendolyn very much, right? You need to let him know that she's back in town with three illegitimate kids in tow! Gwendolyn will be Avenport's laughingstock as long as she's with the kids. There's no way Old Mr. Ashton will let everyone know about this. Eventually, the only person who's going to get hurt is Gwendolyn herself.”

Felicia gave it some thought and agreed with her mother's words.
