Perfect CEO

Chapter 479

Gwendolyn chuckled upon hearing his words.

“I don't have a fixed brand that I usually gravitate toward. Besides, I don't have much money, so I only pick clothes that are the most comfortable instead of fussing over the brand.”

Gwendolyn used to be the daughter of the Ashton family. Naturally, she had her own preference for jewelry, clothing, and make-up. It was just that her poor financial status in recent years did not allow her for such indulgences anymore.

Angeline's face fell when she heard that. Gwendolyn was a country bumpkin, just as she had expected. Alas, Zayden liked her, so Angeline had no choice but to acknowledge the woman. Only then would Zayden return to Angeline's side, and they could go back to the good old days.

For the sake of her son, she decided to just tolerate it.

She would coach Gwendolyn when the latter married into the Sullivan family. Angeline herself was born into a prominent family, so she was confident that she could groom Gwendolyn into a decent socialite.

Angeline tried to start a conversation with Gwendolyn throughout the entire drive, but the latter only came up with half-hearted responses.

At last, they arrived at their destination. Gwendolyn hurriedly got out of the car and waved her goodbye. “Goodbye, Mrs. Surrington.”

Then, she turned around and walked toward her house, feeling finally relieved.

Just as she entered the house, her phone rang. It was a call from Lucy.

“Congratulations, Gwen! I was just watching the TV and saw that you've won the New Designer of the Year Award.”

Gwendolyn changed into slippers and headed toward the living room.





“I bought gifts for you and Melanie. I will bring them to you when I go over there tomorrow. By the way, is Melanie's surgery scheduled for next week?”

“Yes. They've adjusted the time, but it's been finalized. The surgery will be done next Wednesday.”

Gwendolyn smiled when she heard that. “That's a relief to hear. After all, it's never wrong to be prepared.”

Lucy glanced at Melanie, whose spirit had dimmed greatly lately. Fortunately, the surgery was happening, and she knew Melanie would get better after that.

“Lucas has invited a few doctors over. He said they're the most authoritative doctors in this area. The chance of success is higher if they're the ones who perform the surgery.”

Gwendolyn threw herself on the couch, feeling utterly exhausted after the long day.

“At least he has a conscience. The next time you see him, don't let him get away again.”

Lucy chuckled. “He... won't.”

The two chattered for a while longer before ending the call.

Then, Gwendolyn took the remote and turned on the TV. She zapped between the channels absentmindedly. There have been no good shows recently.

Meanwhile, Zayden was in his study at Dragonhill Mansion, reading.

Suzanne ran toward the study with a phone in her hand. “Mr. Surrington... Mr. Surrington... it's for you.”

Her mellow voice was melodious.

Zayden put the book away and tossed a glance at the young girl. “Who's calling? Why are you so flustered?”

Suzanne paused and pondered for a moment.

“It's the person you asked me to pay special attention to last time—Old Mr. Ashton.”

“I bought gifts for you and Melanie. I will bring them to you when I go over there tomorrow. By the way, is Melanie's surgery scheduled for next week?”

Hearing this, Zayden took the phone and answered the call, “Hello?”

“Zayden, do you have some time to spare today? I would like to meet you.”
