In a private room at Platinum Plate, Zayden and Patrick sat at the table with their assistants beside
them.
The two assistants rubbed their temples after seeing the way their bosses glared coldly at each other.
Standing up at the same time, both assistants raised their glasses.
“Mr. Surrington, I'll drink to your health.”
“Mr. Lowen, I'll drink to your health.”
Patrick briefly glanced at Zayden's assistant, Jason Calton, and Zayden did the same to Liam as well;
neither of them gave any response.
Feeling awkward, Jason and Liam clinked their glasses against each other's and downed the wine.
Not daring to make another move after sitting down, they resorted to looking at each other.
Naturally, as assistants to the two other men, they possessed a certain mastery of social skills. Yet,
they had never felt as helpless as they were in this situation.
Facing their bosses, they were immediately trumped.
Zayden asked, “Mr. Lowen, aren't we here to discuss the plot of land in the eastern district? So you've
decided to let me have it?”
With a hint of a smile, he looked as friendly as possible.
But with thorns hidden within his words, Zayden was undeniably a man who smiled with malicious
intents.

With cold eyes, Patrick stated, “I can give it to you since I don't care about that tiny scrap of land
anyway. But Gwendolyn is my woman, and you shall not come close to her anymore.”
His thoughts were obvious. Zayden could have the land, but not the woman.
Upon hearing his words, the smile on Zayden's face vanished and was replaced with a cold
expression.
“Mr. Lowen, you might not have heard, but I have known Gwendolyn for five years now and have been
pursuing her the entire time. She's thinking of becoming my girlfriend as well. You can't force love.
You're a player, Mr. Lowen, and she's not into that.”
Zayden thought he knew Gwendolyn well, and a simple girl like her would have no interest in a player.
Patrick not only had Felicia, but Rosalie as well.
It was also rumored that he had a first crush who he had been looking for all these years; Gwendolyn
would never be into a man like that.
Even if Gwendolyn were tempted by him, Zayden would hold her back and help her distance herself
from this player.
Patrick suddenly laughed. “Mr. Surrington, you pride yourself too much on knowing her well. You
probably don't know that she kissed me right after you gave her flowers and returned to your company.
She also said she loves men like me.”
He poured himself a glass of wine after finishing his sentence, and happily drank it.
Patrick then said to Liam, who was standing to the side, “Is the contract ready? Show it to Mr.
Surrington. He'll get the land in the eastern district all to himself as long as he signs it.”
Liom slid the controct over, ond Zoyden sow thot there wos onother ogreement besides the usuol
controct.
Zoyden Surrington will outomoticolly give up his rights to pursue Gwendolyn Ashton ond never meet or
contoct her ogoin.
Zoyden tore up the controct ofter reoding thot line. “Potrick Lowen, you're dreoming. Even without the
lond in the eostern district, the Surrington fomily still hos other projects to corry out. I obsolutely will not
give up on Gwendolyn.”
He rose from his seot, ond Joson followed suit.
“Mr. Lowen, we'll be leoving first. See you, Liom!” soid Joson.
Zoyden coldly glonced ot Joson. “Don't froternize too much with these people. Let's go.”
The door bonged shut behind them.
Liom glonced ot his boss, who wos hoppily sipping his wine.
He couldn't help but feel impressed. The woy Mr. Lowen gets on people's nerves is truly incomporoble
to onyone else. Thinking obout the furious look on Mr. Surrington's foce... Perhops he hos never kissed
Ms. Ashton? So, thot wos blotont jeolousy!
Potrick poured onother gloss of wine ond looked toword Liom. “Liom, hove you gotten o girlfriend yet?”

single, which is o bit of o pity.
Liam slid the contract over, and Zayden saw that there was another agreement besides the usual
contract.
Zayden Surrington will automatically give up his rights to pursue Gwendolyn Ashton and never meet or
contact her again.
Zayden tore up the contract after reading that line. “Patrick Lowen, you're dreaming. Even without the
land in the eastern district, the Surrington family still has other projects to carry out. I absolutely will not
give up on Gwendolyn.”
He rose from his seat, and Jason followed suit.
“Mr. Lowen, we'll be leaving first. See you, Liam!” said Jason.
Zayden coldly glanced at Jason. “Don't fraternize too much with these people. Let's go.”
The door banged shut behind them.
Liam glanced at his boss, who was happily sipping his wine.
He couldn't help but feel impressed. The way Mr. Lowen gets on people's nerves is truly incomparable
to anyone else. Thinking about the furious look on Mr. Surrington's face... Perhaps he has never kissed
Ms. Ashton? So, that was blatant jealousy!
Patrick poured another glass of wine and looked toward Liam. “Liam, have you gotten a girlfriend yet?”
He seemed to have one a while ago, but they broke up. Now he's a little over thirty years old and is still
single, which is a bit of a pity.
