Perfect CEO

Gwendolyn wanted to withdraw her hand. However, Zayden's condition made her hesitate. Currently, he was blind and not in the best of places mentally. She was worried he might go mad if she were to reject him.

Even if she did not love Zayden, he was still her friend and savior.

At that thought, Gwendolyn pursed her lips and closed her eyes, allowing him to slip the ring onto her finger. Gwendolyn felt as if she could hear the sound of her heart shattering. It was a painful and tormenting sensation.

Nevertheless, she vowed to not lose sight of the person she truly loved. Patrick, wait for me. Once Zayden's eyes have recovered, I'll give him back the ring and tell him that the person I love is you.

When Zayden saw that Gwendolyn did not reject him, he knew he had succeeded. He had done so precisely because he knew that she was a kind person who would endure everything because of his blindness and mental state.

A trace of a sneer flitted across his lips. Patrick, are you seeing this? Gwendolyn is mine! No one is allowed to take her away from me! I met her first, and I was also the one who saved her life. I stayed by her side for six years. When she was in her most helpless, wretched, and pitiful state, I was the one who stayed by her side. I was the one who gave her the strength to rise again. She belongs to me. She is mine and only mine!

Gwendolyn took her hand back and slowly lifted her head to stare at the sky above. She felt as if her world had suddenly grown dimmer. Did the sky cloud over because it's going to rain?

However, the sunlight was brilliant when she looked up. It was so dazzling that she could barely keep her eyes open.

So it turns out the sky isn't overcast. It's my own senses that have clouded over instead.

Without Patrick, her world had returned to the state it had once been in—dark and without a shred of hope.

Candace stood some distance away, grinning happily at the sight of her stepdaughter's despair. Gwendolyn, I'd like to see if you can still fight Fel for Patrick!

She had recorded the scene with her phone and sent it to Felicia.

Candace wrote: Fel, Zayden proposed to Gwendolyn! You can show this video to Patrick so he would give up on her!

At that moment, Felicia was with Hector. She was currently trying her best to cheer the old man up.

Hector stared at the little clay figures on the table before picking them up and examining them one by one. I think she'll be a good mother since she's good at crafts. Her children will be blessed.

Felicia forwarded the video to Patrick after watching it.

Meanwhile, Patrick was in the middle of a meeting. His expression was so dark that he terrified the employees present into holding their breaths.

They all knew that Liam had been sent to Alendor. Hence, everyone trod carefully, afraid of making a mistake that would also land them in exile.

The meeting ended with every single proposal of theirs rejected by Patrick. He ordered them to work overtime to finish it.

The employees exited the meeting room with pitiful expressions on their faces. Guess we won't be going home tonight.

They were all dismayed at the thought of probably having to stay at the office for the entire week.

All of a sudden, Patrick felt a headache forming. He lifted a hand and pressed his brows. Just then, he felt a warm liquid drip from his nose. He touched it with his fingers and found them coated with blood.
