Perfect CEO

Chapter 498

After coming to an agreement, the mother and daughter were ready to leave the room and face the guests downstairs.

While walking toward the door, Felicia revealed something voluntarily, “Thankfully, I've hired someone to tamper with Old Mr. Lowen's memory for a hefty sum. Otherwise, things would have gone downhill if he recognized you.”

Candace was taken aback when she heard that.

“You tampered with his memory?”

Felicia chuckled. “Yes, I did. Do you remember Maddy, my university friend? I was nice to her for a reason. Her family is known for being traditional healers and has many ancient books at home that contain peculiar medical knowledge. She even used to hypnotize us in the dorm back then. So I thought it was an interesting skill that could be useful in the future, and I became friends with her. Not too long ago, I contacted her family to help cure Old Mr. Lowen, and they were able to successfully treat him. In addition, I asked them to manipulate his memories after he fell ill.”

Felicia took these actions because she had noticed the strange way Hector looked at Gwendolyn. It was clear that he was fond of Gwendolyn.

Felicia could see Hector's intentions, and to ensure that everything went smoothly, she made the difficult decision to tamper with Hector's memories, causing him to not recognize Gwendolyn.

Candace laughed and hugged Felicia.

“You did a good job, Fel!”

She couldn't help but notice that her daughter was taking after her as Felicia seemed to have a sense of planning and calculation, carefully considering each step she took.

At the dining area, Zayden was lounging on the couch while Gwendolyn had brought him some food and was feeding him.

Zayden's face lit up with warmth as he savored the moment of being personally fed by Gwendolyn. He felt good, enjoying the moment.

As Patrick approached, Zayden acted as if he hadn't noticed the man and continued to open his mouth for Gwendolyn to feed him.

Gwendolyn felt a sudden grip on her hand, and she turned to see who it was.

She blinked in surprise, not expecting Patrick to approach her. She quickly glanced around, feeling anxious about the situation.

Patrick's voice was cold as he ordered, “Let's go.”

He seized her arm and forcefully yanked her to her feet, causing the plate in her hand to slip and shatter on the ground with a loud crash.

Upon hearing the commotion, Zayden looked up and asked, “Who is it? Gwen, are you all right?”

Gwendolyn turned to look at Zayden and saw that he had reached out to touch her, his expression dazed.

“Zayden, I accidentally dropped the plate. I've called someone to clean it up. Just stay seated and don't move,” Gwendolyn said urgently, worried that he might bump into something or hurt himself if he stood up.

Patrick's expression darkened when he heard Gwendolyn's words.

He then forcefully pulled Gwendolyn out of the Ashton residence, practically shoving her into the car. He quickly followed suit and got in, his anger palpable.

In a cold, commanding voice, Patrick ordered the driver, “Drive!”

The driver didn't waste any more time, as his boss' face was terrifying, resembling a hungry lion ready to pounce on its prey.

Gwendolyn's brows furrowed as she spoke, “I'm sorry, Patrick! I can't leave.”

She couldn't abandon the three children and her grandfather who were still inside the Ashton residence, and that was why she refused to leave with Patrick.

Patrick's piercing gaze bore into her, and Gwendolyn felt a shiver run down her spine.
