Juliette shook her head. “No, no. That's really rude.”
Felicia held Juliette's hands in her own. “In that case, Juliette, do you like Patrick?”
Juliette nodded. She liked him very much indeed because she could smell the scent of a father on him
and hoped that he would one day become hers.
“In that case, have you ever seen him pay anyone any attention? Does he smile? He looks as cold as
ice all the time.”
The image of Patrick emerged in Juliette's mind. She does appear to be right. He does behave that
way.
Thereafter, she pursed her lips to further deliberate on the matter.
By then, Felicia knew that she had gotten her message across. As long as Juliette became a rude and
disobedient child, no one would like her anymore.
Grandpa and Old Mr. Lowen will no longer eat out of her hand again.
Felicia didn't say another word after that.

When the car stopped outside the Lowen residence, Juliette pointed at the massive and beautiful gate
and said, “This is Mr. Handsome's house.”
Felicia smiled in response. “Juliette, wait in the car while I go get Old Mr. Lowen. He wants to see my
grandpa too.”
Juliette agreed, “Okay.”
Once Felicia got past the gate, it was a long walk to the Lowen residence. Due to her walking briskly in
her exceedingly high heels, Felicia was utterly exhausted by the journey.
Upon arriving in front of the main building, she turned around and looked.
Once I push Old Mr. Lowen out, there's no way we can cover such a huge distance.
Hence, she gave the driver a call. “Drive the car in, and wait for me at the parking lot.”
After ending the call, she quickly called him again.
“Remember to keep an eye on the child. Don't allow her to get out.”
After checking the bunch of cuteness in the mirror, the driver replied, “Yes, Ms. Ashton.”
By now, the driver had learned how sensitive Felicia was about her status and knew that he had to
show her respect to avoid being given an earful.
When Felicia entered the living room and couldn't find Hector and Alice, she inquired with the
housekeeper, “Where's Old Mr. Lowen?”
The housekeeper was used to Felicia's presence as she dropped by often.
“Old Mr. Lowen is in his study while Old Mrs. Lowen is at the back copying some books.”
As Felicia was delighted by the reply, her eyes lit up. Upon entering the study, she saw a housekeeper
and a nurse inside.
There, she noticed Hector reading a book. Whenever he finished a page, the housekeeper would help
him turn to the next one.
Felicia couldn't help but admire his persistence in learning despite his condition.
Nonetheless, she didn't understand why they insisted on living a productive life under such

“Old Mr. Lowen, I'm here to see you again.”
Felicia walked up to Hector, wearing a bright smile. She then diverted the housekeeper and nurse away
by ordering them to get his medication and clothes.
Consequently, Felicia and Hector were the only ones left in the room. When the latter saw who it was,
his face darkened as his eyes shifted away from his book.
The gloominess that descended upon Hector's face struck fear into Felicia.
Nonetheless, she quickly steeled herself. Felicia, get a grip on yourself. He is the key to getting married

She then took out her phone and called the driver on video. “Zane, pass the phone to Juliette.”
When Juliette's cute face appeared on the screen, she stared at them with big and adorable eyes.
“Juliette, greet Old Mr. Lowen.”
At the sight of Hector, Juliette broke into a delightful smile. “Old Mr. Handsome, it's me, Juliette.”
Hector's eyes lit up at the sight of her. When his face moved to speak, his words failed to come out.
Nonetheless, he had already turned red in excitement.
It was then that Felicia turned off the video.
“Old Mr. Lowen, Juliette is in the car outside. She has invited you to go out and play with her.”
