Chapter 291
A few women nearby came around, including Felicia, who spoke the loudest.
“How dare you hit her! Do you know who you've hit?”
Seated at the bar counter, Peter was waiting to see what would happen next as he sipped his wine from his glass.
He loved seeing the ludicrousness of women when they fought for him. It always amused him.
Playfully, he cast a side glance at Gwendolyn, whom he found attractive. She had captured his attention ever since he laid his eyes on her.
If she can beat them all down, I would like to have a try with her. I always preferred hot girls.
Gwendolyn shot a glance at Felicia calmly, noticing the latter was wearing that pale green skirt while acting innocent and naive.
Oh, she's behind the reason these people are finding fault with me.
“Felicia, do you think you can get Patrick back by doing so?” An amused look flashed across Gwendolyn's eyes as she spoke.
After hearing Gwendolyn's words, a few women near her recalled the text message Evangeline sent earlier that informed them that Felicia was a liar and she had broken up with Patrick.
They looked inquiringly toward Felicia, who had their attention at that moment.
There were hints of ridicule in their glances. “Felicia, have you been lying to us? You told us you're Patrick's girlfriend.”
Felicia's face fell. She didn't expect Gwendolyn's words to turn those women's back against her.
However, no one noticed the change in her expression due to her mask.
At that moment, she was feeling utterly embarrassed. However, it was a relief to her that only those near the bar were paying attention to them. Things would be worse if they attracted even more attention.
D*mn, Gwendolyn! Why don't you just die?
Felicia pointed at Gwendolyn with extreme hatred. “She's our housekeeper's daughter, having no right to show up here. Moreover, she's even wearing counterfeit goods. You all should go against her. Later, I'll explain what's going on between Patrick and me.”
Felicia was determined to get rid of Gwendolyn before Patrick showed up. She wanted to ridicule Gwendolyn for Patrick to realize that the latter didn't reserve him.
“She even has three children. The dad of her children is a man in his seventies,” Felicia added.
The other women turned around and looked at Gwendolyn in bewilderment.
“So you're the one lying! We thought you were Patrick's new girlfriend, not expecting you to be a
mother of three.”
They moved closer to Gwendolyn as they spoke.
However, Gwendolyn wasn't afraid at all. “All of you better don't get any closer to me. I have no control of my fist,” she replied calmly.
The woman who liked Peter got herself up from the ground and pointed at Gwendolyn while still sobbing.
“Get rid of her on my behalf.”
She was the section chief's daughter. The rest of them were the children of her father's subordinates. Therefore, they had no choice but to obey her. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
A few people walked toward Gwendolyn and encircled her. In a few minutes, Gwendolyn managed to defeat them, causing several women and another two men to sprawl on the ground.
“She hit us! She hit us,” they moaned.
Knowing how to fight, they were always the ones bullying others. It was the first time someone defeated them, triggering their frustration and embarrassment.
They would be embarrassed to the core if they didn't have the masks covering their face.
At that moment, Patrick showed up and stood in front of Gwendolyn, swiping his cold glance at those laid on the ground.
“How dare you find fault with my woman!”
Soon after he finished his words, a group of bodyguards showed up and carried those on the ground out of the banquet hall.
As Felicia stood not too far away, the resentment and hatred she felt deepened when she saw the way Patrick protected Gwendolyn.
She clenched her fists and tried to bottle up her anger, taking small steps backward.
A hint of a smile flashed across Gwendolyn's eyes as she smelt the faint fragrance on Patrick's body. It feels so good to be protected.
She then pointed at Felicia. “She's the one who started it. She even said my necklace is a counterfeit.”
Patrick glanced over at Felicia coldly and pointed to the necklace on Gwendolyn's neck.
“Do you think I'll give counterfeit goods as a gift?”
