Patrick declared coldly, “Not just anyone is allowed into my office.”
Behind him, Liam was taken aback as he looked in the direction of the couch, his eyes lighting up. How
did she get in?
Felicia sauntered over with a smile. “Patrick, I brought you your lunch. Old Mr. Lowen told me to deliver
it to you.”
Just then, Patrick's phone rang.
It was a video call from Hector. Patrick accepted the call and greeted the older man with an indifferent
expression, “Grandpa.”
Hector was seated near the flower rack, wearing a contented expression on his countenance as Alice
served him a cup of coffee.
“Pat, I told Fel to bring your meal to you. You must remember to eat! This a meal your grandmother
personally prepared for you.”
Alice's hand, which had been holding the coffee pot, trembled a little as she heard Hector's words. She

food isn't great? Isn't he going to blame me?
Unperturbed, Hector continued with a smile, “Let me take another look at Fel. She looks so pretty
today! Hahaha!”
Patrick had no choice but to turn his phone camera around to show Felicia. The latter waved at the
phone and smiled politely as she greeted the old man, “Old Mr. Lowen!”
“Go on. Go ahead and eat! It's already so late. You must be starving.”
Hector cut off the video call and began to fiddle around with the phone. There were many functions that
were not available six years ago. Thus, he proceeded to immerse himself joyfully.
Alice put the coffee cup down in front of him and reprimanded him sternly, “You may be having a good
time now, but our grandchild isn't!”
She turned her head and refused to look at her husband after saying that.
Hector put down the phone and took a sip of the coffee before commenting, “The coffee's not bad.
However, I disagree with what you just said. Pat finally got himself a girlfriend! Is it bad that I want to
help them along?”
Alice sighed after hearing Hector's response. “Gwen's a good girl too. She's pretty, and Pat is fond of
her as well.”
Hector snorted upon hearing her words. “How can you compare Gwendolyn to Felicia? Gwendolyn
already has three children, and she's the daughter of the Ashton family's housekeeper. How can
someone like her be good enough for Pat? On the other hand, the Ashton family is a prestigious family
and brought Felicia up well. I like her.”
Alice could not help rolling her eyes. “I think it's more important that Pat likes her.”
Having said that, she ignored Hector and left.
Hector sipped his coffee as he glanced at her retreating figure. “Hmph, women are ignorant as always.
I'm sure Pat will get his act together after getting married.”
Patrick set down the documents he held and gave Felicia a faint look before turning to Liam. “Get the
security to see her out.”

Felicia's expression darkened when she heard his words. She called out to him, “Patrick, you mustn't
treat me like this. Old Mr. Lowen was the one who told me to come here.”
Patrick halted in his tracks and said without sparing her a glance, “Felicia, you're lucky to be alive right
now. I won't be as lenient the next time you do something like that again.”
He stalked away after speaking, leaving Felicia to stare after him angrily, biting her lip as she cursed
silently. Gwendolyn Ashton, you vixen! This is all your fault for seducing him. Look what you've done to
him! if it weren't for you, Patrick and I would be married by now.
The resentment in Felicia's gaze deepened at the thought of that.
Liam informed her coldly, “Ms. Ashton, please leave as soon as possible. It won't be a pretty picture
when the security guards come in.”
Glancing at Liam, Felicia retorted, “Who do you think you are to order me around? If it wasn't for
Patrick, I won't even be speaking to you. P*ss off!”
She shoved at Liam, causing the man to stumble back a few steps. He also ended up with a long
scratch on his arm. Glancing at Felicia's nails, he determined that it was caused by a rhinestone on her
manicure.
She's quite a piece of work! She acts like a demure little rabbit in front of Mr. Lowen but shows her true
colors the moment his back is turned. It's a good thing Mr. Lowen doesn't like her!
