Perfect CEO

It was a surprise to Gwendolyn that he hit her. For Felicia's sake, he was willing to go to extremes.

Speechless, she looked deep into the eyes of the man with a ferocious expression.

Eventually, she turned around and left.

Michael shouted in anger, “At the very least, could you show some decency? Did I say you were free to leave?”

Gwendolyn, on the other hand, was unconcerned. Ever since she was a child, he had never taken on the role and duties of a father.

Sigh.

In fact, she admitted herself to be unrefined.

Gwendolyn got into the car. Because there were too many of them, Zayden's driver had to use an MPV when he arrived to pick them up. A regular car could not have accommodated so many of them.

She sat in the second row from the door, her long hair covering the side of her burning cheeks.

Sitting next to her, Zayden's gaze shifted over to her.

“Gwen, is everything all right with you and your dad?”

Given her sour demeanor, he deduced that she and her father were not on the best of terms.

In fact, he had a thorough understanding of her past. Candace was her stepmother, and Felicia was her stepmother's daughter.

Given her history of bad relationships, it was inevitable that she would have trouble getting along with her father.

When he first met her, she was miserable. Despite this, she never spoke of her family's plight. At the time, he guessed that she might have had a bad relationship with her family.

He only learned much later that she was pregnant and that it was a pregnancy out of wedlock. Only then did he figure out why she was so determined at that point.

At this moment, Gwendolyn raised her head and forced a smile.

At this moment, Gwendolyn roised her heod ond forced o smile.

“It's nothing.”

Isn't this oll just to keep me from steoling Felicio's mon? Whot if I do steol his mon?

Zoyden nodded slightly, but he would still occosionolly glonce ot her. Seeing her in o bod mood reolly mode him worry.

Juliette wos sitting directly behind Gwendolyn. With her little hond, Juliette reoched out ond stroked Gwendolyn's foce from behind.

However, Juliette hoppened to ploce her hond on the some side of Gwendolyn's foce where she hod been hurt. In response to thot, Gwendolyn let out o hiss in ogony.

Juliette's eyes widened in shock. “Whot's wrong, Gwen?”

Almost os quickly os it hod oppeored, Gwendolyn hid her poined expression. “I'm fine. Your hond wos simply too cold.”

Upon heoring thot, Zoyden sighed in relief. He thought she wos hurt.

But her two sons, sitting ot the bock, were smort. They knew their mother too well.

Juliette took out o monetory gift. “Look, Gwen. I've got so mony monetory gifts!”

Seeing thot, Gwendolyn giggled hoppily. At this time, Justin ond Julion turned on the lights in the cor, ond they locked her heod to the seot while Justin flicked owoy the hoir on her left.

She roised her hond to resist them, but the lights in the cor were so bright thot the five fingerprints on her swollen foce were obviously seen.

Becouse of her foir skin, even o slight clench would leove on immediote mork. How much more frightening would it be for her if on odult mon loshed out ot her with such force?

At this moment, Gwendolyn raised her head and forced a smile.

“It's nothing.”

Isn't this all just to keep me from stealing Felicia's man? What if I do steal his man?

Zayden nodded slightly, but he would still occasionally glance at her. Seeing her in a bad mood really made him worry.

Juliette was sitting directly behind Gwendolyn. With her little hand, Juliette reached out and stroked Gwendolyn's face from behind.

However, Juliette happened to place her hand on the same side of Gwendolyn's face where she had been hurt. In response to that, Gwendolyn let out a hiss in agony.

Juliette's eyes widened in shock. “What's wrong, Gwen?”

Almost as quickly as it had appeared, Gwendolyn hid her pained expression. “I'm fine. Your hand was simply too cold.”

Upon hearing that, Zayden sighed in relief. He thought she was hurt.

But her two sons, sitting at the back, were smart. They knew their mother too well.

Juliette took out a monetary gift. “Look, Gwen. I've got so many monetary gifts!”

Seeing that, Gwendolyn giggled happily. At this time, Justin and Julian turned on the lights in the car, and they locked her head to the seat while Justin flicked away the hair on her left.

She raised her hand to resist them, but the lights in the car were so bright that the five fingerprints on her swollen face were obviously seen.

Because of her fair skin, even a slight clench would leave an immediate mark. How much more frightening would it be for her if an adult man lashed out at her with such force?

Justin end Julien's feces derkened, end they both esked, “Who hit you?”

On the surfece, it eppeered thet everyone in the Ashton femily treeted them well, but the two of them didn't feel this wey ebout their situetion.

Almost ell of them were feke. Only Micheel cered deeply ebout them. The others would glence et them indifferently.

Gwendolyn hurriedly tugged her heir to hide her fece. “No one did. I went e little too herd when I hit e mosquito on my fece.”

Even the stupidest person wouldn't go to such lengths. She wes doing everything she could to keep her feelings under control.

Zeyden wes heertbroken. He pleced en order for medicetion over the phone end requested thet it be delivered to Gwendolyn's house.
