Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 597

Chapter 597 Betrothal Gift

At that thought, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The Ashton family is not what it used to be, so what can we possibly receive in the end?

Gwendolyn replied, “I've visited him, and I'll also be going today. After the marriage talk is done, Zayden and I will go there.”

She figured her grandfather should be waiting since his biggest wish now was to see her get married.

Christina's eyes gleamed. “So, how's Dad's condition? Will he recover?”

Ever since members of the Ashton family learned about Michael's hospitalization and deteriorating health, they all came back. Their intention in doing so couldn't be more obvious.

“Grandpa is fine. He's conscious and even said he would attend my wedding ceremony.”

Of course, those were merely lies to deceive them.

Given Michael's current condition, there was no way he could leave the hospital. Otherwise, Gwendolyn wouldn't have to agree to get married so soon.

The two older women were slightly startled before saying, “Oh, that's good.”


With that, they got to their feet. “Gwen, take your time to eat. We'll go out to help now.”

Gwendolyn nodded. Being watched by them while she had her breakfast was indeed discomforting.

Francine and Christina chatted as they walked out.

“Did you hear that, Francine? Dad is in good health. He's not going to distribute his assets.”

Francine shook her head. “How can you believe her? Gwen has a good relationship with Dad. Therefore, she certainly hopes he will get better. However, can't you see why she's in such a hurry to get married? It's because she wants to let him witness her marriage. The assets will still have to be divided.”

“You have a point. It seems like Gwen isn't so easy to fool anymore. She has become shrewd.”

After the two exited the dining room, Candace strode over. She crossed her arms and glanced coldly at the duo, uttering discourteously, “You two think Dad will give her the most family possessions, don't you? Don't forget who her mother is and why he spoils her.”

Michael's favorite son was Zachary, and he had doted on the latter since the latter was a child.

Therefore, Michael also treasured Zachary's first daughter, Gwendolyn.

If it weren't because Felicia was an illegitimate child, Michael would've cherished her too. Candace blamed Gwendolyn for that. If it weren't for Gwendolyn and her mother, Fel would've been the most doted on by Old Mr. Ashton.

Francine and Christina immediately tried to smooth things over. Francine wrapped her arms around Candace's.

“Candace, you're overthinking. We came here to congratulate Gwen since the Surrington family is coming to propose marriage today.”

Christina chimed in, “That's right! Since Gwen's the highlight today, we simply want to congratulate her on her fine marriage. But, speaking of which, Fel is the one who got the better deal. Patrick is so handsome, and the Lowen family is so formidable. How can Zayden be compared to Patrick when he's just a blind man?”
