Perfect CEO

Chapter 177

Upon hearing Gwendolyn's voice, he lowered his head and saw that half the painting was burned. He quickly put out the fire.

Now, only the beautiful lady's face was intact in the painting. Patrick was infuriated to see that.

“Oh, no! My beautiful lady, you haven't come into my dreams yet!”

At the side, Lucas was laughing so hard that he found it hard to breathe. Then, Patrick warned coldly, “Kev, stop listening to all these legends. Also, don't do such stupid things.”

Kevin was an expert in the medical industry, but he was also a lunatic.

Although Kevin was enraged that the painting was damaged, he threw it to the side. “How boring. I heard about the legend, so I wanted to give it a try. I don't even have the chance now.”

In the meantime, Gwendolyn felt distressed seeing the painting that cost five hundred thousand being burned just like that. Mr. Chavez, if you have too much money, just give them to me! I'll spend them for you! What a waste of five hundred thousand!

Then, Kevin snorted upon noticing the necklace on Gwendolyn's neck.

“Pat, you berated me for believing in the legend, but you also believe it. You heard that the one who wore this necklace would get together with their love for eternity. That's why you bought it. You're the pot calling the kettle black.”


Gwendolyn sensed Kevin was looking at her, so she quickly put the necklace underneath her clothes before smiling at him. “Mr. Chavez, this isn't that necklace! It looks like that one, but this one doesn't have the black diamond.”

Patrick taught her to say that, so she knew the secret of the necklace now.

Once she had hidden the black diamond, no one would know its worth.

Kevin raised an eyebrow when he heard that. Do you think I would believe that? You fell for Pat's lies.

Lifting his wineglass, Kevin stated, “Gwen, the venison tastes better with wine.”

It was the first time Gwendolyn ate grilled venison steak, so she clearly believed him. She remembered that when she watched Pride and Prejudice back then, the actors had drunk mulled wine when they ate barbecued venison on a snowy day.

Although it was not snowing now, the weather was extremely cold.

Then Gwendolyn clinked glasses with Kevin. “Cheers.”

Patrick frowned when he saw that. The wine tasted good, but it had high alcoholic content.

While he was grilling some meat for her, he reminded, “Ms. Ashton, don't drink too much. The effect of this alcohol is extremely strong.”

Gwendolyn rolled her eyes at him. Clearly, she was a little drunk at that moment.

“Mr. Lowen, you're so petty. This tastes like a normal beverage. I won't get drunk. Are you unwilling to pay for these?”

Patrick was rendered speechless.

In the meantime, Lucas was drinking all by himself. His mood turned bad when he thought about the woman who would not come to beg him again.
