Chapter 668 Desperate Need Of Money

Upon learning that Patrick was in a coma, Lucy had gone to see him together with Lucas.

She didn't dare to tell Gwendolyn about it, for fear that it would be too much for her.

If Gwendolyn were to learn of Patrick's condition, she would go to his side and care for him without any hesitation.

Moreover, Lucas had specifically instructed Lucy not to tell Gwendolyn.

Guessing that Patrick's circumstances were likely related to Gwendolyn, Lucy had kept the matter from her friend.

After all, what was going on between Gwendolyn and Patrick had ended after Gwendolyn's marriage.

“Is he awake?” Lucy asked, oblivious to Patrick's condition, for she hadn't seen him in a while.

“Even you know of what happened to him. I think I'm the last to find out.”

Gwendolyn was filled with disappointment. Everyone must think that I'm a heartless woman. That's why no one told me about Patrick. I deserve this. I really deserve to be forgotten.

Lucy apologized, “I'm sorry, Gwen. I thought things were going well between you and Zayden. That's why I didn't tell you.”

She needs to move on, and so does Patrick.

Gwendolyn flashed a faint smile. “Don't worry about it. I understand.”

At that moment, Lucy's phone rang again, and she could only answer it.

“What is it?”

“Attend a dinner with me this evening and dress up for it. I'll be waiting at home at five-thirty.”

Lucas ended the call right after. Lucy gave her phone a glance and cursed, “F*ck. Why didn't he tell me exactly where and what the dinner is about?”

When Lucy returned her attention to Gwendolyn and realized that the latter seemed to have closed herself off, she thought it would be a good idea to get her to join them.

Usually, she would be bored at such dinners, for Lucas was the main reason they were invited.

In addition to the food, there would be nice red wine.

She thought it would be more fun if she could use the opportunity to drink with Gwendolyn.

If a woman is in an unhappy marriage, she can numb herself by going out and having some fun.

A smile emerged on Lucy's face. “Gwen, I like that dress from your company. Can you give me a discount?”

Gwendolyn responded by scrutinizing Lucy from head to toe and saw that the latter was all decked out in designer clothing. Lucy's watch alone cost at least six figures.

Both of them had experienced significant changes in their lives. They were now rich and could afford to buy everything they had previously coveted.

Nevertheless, they, too, had changed together with their circumstances. They no longer felt the same joy they did when they were poor.

Gwendolyn sighed. We have been so naive in the past to think that money would bring us happiness.

It was in her current circumstance that she understood happiness was the most difficult thing to achieve. It was the only thing in the world money couldn't buy.

“There's no need for a discount. You can have it for free.” Gwendolyn handed her friend a VIP card. “Take this. You don't have to pay for anything you buy at Solstice Mall.”

Lucy's eyes widened at the sight of the gold card.

“Wow, do you really mean it? Is this part of the benefits of a CEO?”

Gwendolyn smiled. “Money is the only thing I'm left with now.”

“Both Gwen Mall and Gwenpat Hotel in the eastern district are doing very well. You must be a multi- millionaire by now.” Lucy played with the card in her hand as she spoke.

The newly developed commercial district was a gift from Patrick to Gwendolyn. It was a highly sought- after piece of land that Patrick had successfully secured back in the day.

Its commercial value was well known to everyone. Even when Lucas talked to Lucy about it, the greedy glint in his eye would reveal how much he coveted it too.

Gwendolyn's gaze darkened. “Actually...”

She didn't feel it was right for her to take it, but she knew it would only anger Patrick further if she didn't. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

As a result, she begrudgingly accepted it. There was professional management running it anyway. Her only additional task was to sign off on the quarterly report and collect her profit.

Other than watching the amount in her bank account increase, there was no other impact on her life.

“Actually what? Do you not want it? Then give it to me. I'm in desperate need of money.”
