Both Candace and Felicia were standing next to the guards while the former wiped away her tears and
complained, “This woman is the one who assaulted me. She slapped me. Look at my face. I want to
sue her.”
Gwendolyn put down the magazine in her hand and glimpsed at the guards who surrounded her. She
then shifted her attention to Candace.
“Do you plan not to wait for your husband?”
Didn't she ask my father to come and teach me a lesson? Well, I'm still waiting for him.
The latter's eyes turned cruel after hearing that. “He'll be here soon. Just you wait.”
Felicia was glowering at Gwendolyn too. This woman is horrendous. Why is it so hard to get rid of her?
Soon, Zachary entered the boutique. Since Ashton Corporation was in the building next to the mall, he
didn't have to spend much time coming over here.
Felicia and Candace even had lunch with him before visiting the boutique.
Gwendolyn spotted him the moment he walked passed the entrance. He was dressed in a silver suit,
and his expression was solemn.
Candace wailed loudly almost immediately after she caught sight of him. “You're finally here, Darling.
Look at what Gwen did to me! She slapped me! I was trying to advise her to visit you more often, yet
she hit me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHaving heard such an explanation, Zachary's expression became grimmer.
He then approached Gwendolyn and swung his hand to slap her. However, his effort was unsuccessful
as she managed to dodge it, causing his fume to worsen.
“How dare you dodge it?”
When Zachary confronted Gwendolyn, she was sitting down, and he was standing tall. Since he was
tall and had a broad figure, it made her feel like she was at a disadvantage at that point. Thus, she
quickly stood up to boost her aura.
Though the man standing before her was her father, Gwendolyn had never felt any love from him
before.
Zachary would blame Gwendolyn for everything whenever he heard Candace and Felicia cry. It was
the same every time.
Gwendolyn knew the children who were good at crying would be the ones who get the most attention.
However, she didn't care enough to do it.
When she was younger, she would try to explain herself whenever Zachary blamed her for something.
Unfortunately, the harder she tried, the more Zachary thought she was trying to fork up an excuse.
Felicia got to her father's side and tugged his hand.
“Dad, she went overbroad this time. She even hit the staff here. We must report her to the police and
send her to the police station.”
Zachary then looked at his younger daughter and instructed her in a cold tone, “Call the police now.
She would be plaguing society if we allow her to roam freely.”
Meanwhile, Zachary also wanted to use this opportunity to lash out his anger at her because he found
out Hector had gifted three mansions for her three children. Whenever he thought about the three kids,
anger would overtake him.
He didn't dare to tell his family about this news. He knew hell would break loose among the Ashton
family if they found out about it.
Gwendolyn snickered. “Mr. Ashton, do you own the police station? Do you really think that reporting me
on such a trivial matter will make me go to jail?”
What a joke. I did slap those people, but I doubt I deserve to serve time in prison for my actions.
The guards were still standing there and would occasionally turn to look at Gwendolyn. The boutique
assistants did the same too. Everyone was enjoying the chaotic confrontation in front of them.
Zachary rubbed his temple and said, “Gwendolyn, you have assaulted someone. Do you know how
serious this is? It seems that your Aunt Candace is too kind to you. From today onwards, I'm going to
ask her to be hard on you.”
He then took out his phone and was ready to call the police. At that same time, Patrick entered the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmboutique with a group of executives of the mall following from behind.
Patrick came to the mall with a helicopter. When he heard from Juliette, who called him not long ago,
that many people were trying to bully her mother, he quickly asked his subordinate to pick him up using
the helicopter and sent him to the mall's helipad.
Seeing such a scene before him, the mall's manager inquired the boutique's sales manager, “What's
going on?”
As soon as the sales manager saw all her superiors entering the boutique, she knew the current
ongoing conflict had been communicated to them.
She pointed at Gwendolyn and complained, “This lady has been causing havoc in the boutique. She
even assaulted others. She slapped our customers and hit our sales assistants.”
Upon hearing such a report, all the executives turned their attention to Gwendolyn. When they saw her
face, they couldn't help thinking that she looked familiar, but they weren’t able to recall her identity.
The manager took a glimpse at the handsome man, who was walking in front of them, and said, “She
assaulted someone? Did anyone call the police? Our mall is not a place where anyone can enter
easily. In the future, we must prevent anyone as rude as her from entering the mall.”
The moment he ended his sentence, everyone saw Patrick arrive at Gwendolyn's side, take her hand,
and ask dotingly, “Did your hand hurt from the slap?”
