Perfect CEO

Chapter 231

When Gwendolyn heard Juliette's soft and adorable voice, her heart melted. Anyone who heard it would give anything to the little girl.

Gwendolyn sat beside the bed and helped her daughter blow on her injuries.

“It's the same if I help you to blow on it.”

Juliette sat there obediently and let her mother blow on her wounds.

She pouted her tiny lips and said, “Gwen, I'd prefer it if Mr. Handsome blows on it instead.”

It was because he looked like the father in her dreams. The father in her dreams looked just like him and appeared similar to her older brothers.

Gwendolyn was not angry. She understood her daughter the most.

“Yes. I'll get him to do so later.”

Julian woke up shortly after. He gently rubbed his eyes.

“Mommy, Mr. Lowen left as he has urgent matters to attend to. I've already thanked him.”

While he was speaking, his gaze was fixed on Justin. They were thinking the same thing.

If that man wants to get close to our mommy, he has to pass our new test.

The family of four had their breakfast together and left the hospital. Justin had already settled the discharge procedures, and they only needed to leave.

Liam walked over hurriedly. “Ms. Ashton, why have you paid the medical fees? Mr. Lowen told us to give you the treatment for free.”

He had just rushed over from home. Patrick got him to head over to settle the matters and send them home.

Unexpectedly, he did not manage to rush over in time to tell them that Patrick had exempted the medical fees for them. If Patrick knew about it, Liam was afraid that he would be sent overseas to manage gorillas' feces.

He did not wish to go overseas as the malaria situation was very serious there. He was afraid that he would catch the disease and die in a foreign country.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn was helping Juliette with her shoes.

She replied placidly, “Mr. Derner, we've already paid the fees. It doesn't have to be free. Please help me thank Mr. Lowen for his kind intentions.”

She held Juliette's hand and asked cautiously, “Can you walk, Juliette? Do you feel giddy? Do you want me to carry you?”

Juliette was not that delicate. She smiled sweetly and replied, “No need. I don't feel giddy. I can walk by myself.”

The incidents that happened the night before had made her grow up a lot. Her mother was fearless when faced with people with evil intentions. Thus, she vowed to be as courageous as her mother and two brothers.

She could handle the small injury and walk by herself.

Liam trailed after them and placed a hand on his forehead.

He secretly prayed that Patrick would not blame him.

Patrick went to the residential building that he had gone to the night before. His long legs stretched out as he paced into the house that had three bedrooms. More than ten men were tied up and kept in the house.

When they saw him, their eyes widened.

They did not expect that they would gain the attention of an influential person like Patrick.

Samuel was awakened by the sound of the door opening. Blood was smeared all over his face, and his hands were bound behind his back. He raised his head slightly and stared at Patrick with red-rimmed eyes.

John removed the cloth in his mouth and kicked him. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Do you know who our boss is?”

Samuel had never expected that he would offend such a person when he became a loan shark to earn

a living.

They could not afford to offend him and were afraid that they would no longer be able to survive in Avenport.

“Mr. Lowen, I don't know how I've offended you.”

Patrick's subordinate placed a chair opposite the men. Patrick then sat down and lit up a cigarette.

He inhaled a puff of smoke. There was no expression on his devil-like face as he coldly glanced at them.

He uttered coldly, “You've touched someone that you shouldn't have.”

Samuel froze. “Yesterday night, that woman... Is she your woman, Mr. Lowen?”

The only thing that he could think of was the vicious woman who had beat him up the night before. She was even more ferocious than him. In the end, his face was so swollen as if he had gotten stung by a swarm of bees.

It was all because of that woman. She was too brutal.

John nodded slightly. “You're smart. How much did you take from her yesterday night? Return her the full amount.”

Samuel's expression changed. As he had expected, the matter was related to that woman.

He suddenly struggled. “Mr. Lowen, we were blind and did not know that Ms. Ashton is your woman. I'll get my men to return the money to her. Please spare us.”
