Liam could feel the death stares that were thrown in his direction when he said that, and a chill ran
down his spine.
In the end, he compromised and turned to look at the bodyguard agitatedly, saying, “Bring the food to
those two ladies over there.”
I'm on the boss' side, which means I have to show him that I won't go easy on Ms. Ashton!
The bodyguard nodded once and brought the food over to Gwendolyn and Lucy just as he was told.
However, Gwendolyn and Lucy heard what Liam said, loud and clear.
In response, Lucy immediately turned the bodyguard away, saying, “No, thanks. We won't be eating
that.”
Gwendolyn chimed in, “Our food's on the way.”
The three men standing at the side heard this and looked at Gwendolyn in shock. Liam, in particular,
was incredulous as he abandoned all courtesy and marched up to Gwendolyn.
“Your food's on the way, huh, Ms. Ashton? Is your new boyfriend, or rather, your new fling, sending it to
you?” he demanded sarcastically.
He was furious at her for cheating on a fine man like Patrick.
Is Ms. Ashton blind or something? Mr. Lowen is obviously a hundred times better than that Zayden guy,

does!
Lucy looked at Liam curiously. This assistant used to get along with Gwen, didn't he? He sure turned
on her pretty quickly!
“Mr. Derner, you're barking nonsense again,” Gwendolyn pointed out dryly as she shot Liam a mild
look.
“You...”
Liam used to think of Gwendolyn as a kind-hearted and beautiful woman who could get along with
anyone.
Now, he saw the full extent of how shrewd and unreasonable she could be.
Just then, Camille showed up with food containers. When she saw that Kevin and Patrick were eating,
she exclaimed, “You're eating already? But I made so much food!”
She was just about to hand the men a couple of containers when Gwendolyn stopped her. “Let them
be, Ms. Ziegler. They're happy enough with their own food.”
Then, Gwendolyn stood up and walked over to Camille. She wrapped an arm around the older woman
and led her away.
“Lucy, seeing as you need to keep your strength up, I had Ms. Ziegler make a ton of food, including fish
stew and roast beef. Help yourself to as much as you like while you wait for Melanie,” Gwendolyn said
brightly.
Overhearing this, Patrick frowned, for the dishes she mentioned were all his favorites.
He particularly loved Camille's roast beef, which he thought was the best roast beef he had ever tasted.
As if reading Patrick's thoughts, Camille turned around at that exact moment and flashed him a smile.
If only Mr. Lowen knows I made these dishes specially for him. She had hoped that the food would
bring him and Gwendolyn back on good terms again. A couple like them ought not to be brought down
by vile and baseless rumors.
Alas, from the look of things right now, Gwendolyn and Patrick were completely at odds with each
other.
Kevin had heard what Gwendolyn said as well. He elbowed Patrick and said, “Hey, aren't those your
favorite dishes? I guess Gwen's housekeeper keeps tabs on what you like! I bet she made all that food
for you, but I guess you'll have to give it a miss now that your assistant ran his mouth and upset Gwen,
huh?”
He happily rubbed salt in Patrick's wound as he rose to his feet and sauntered over to Gwendolyn and

Patrick stared at his own food, which looked pathetic compared to the feast Camille had prepared.
It was a sad comparison, indeed. With that in mind, he said aloud, “Liam.”
Liam walked up to him and bent over slightly. “Yes, Mr. Lowen?”
He looked expectant, as though hoping to hear Patrick praise him.
After all, he had just shown his utmost loyalty by siding with Patrick and speaking up for him earlier.
However, Liam's expectations were crushed when Patrick snapped, “There's an ongoing project in
Alendor that I will be fully delegating to you. You'll be flying out there tonight.”
Liam blanched at this. “But, Mr. Lowen, isn't there already a person in charge of that project?”
Patrick's recent charity involved setting up a hospital in Alendor, and it was now under construction.
However, any work related to it would not require Liam's on-site supervision at all.
Patrick pointedly closed his food container when the aroma of Camille's dishes wafted over to him.
He did not think he could finish his food knowing that he was settling for less, and it did not help that
Kevin was exclaiming over Camille's cooking every now and then.
“Wow, you're an amazing cook, Ms. Ziegler! The roast beef is incredible! In fact, it's out of this world!”
