Chapter 526 Sense Of Security

The events from the previous day remained vivid in Gwendolyn's memory.

As Gwendolyn remembered how Hector's illness had flared up the day before, her heart filled with

sorrow. Recent events had been challenging, leaving her uncertain about what to do next.

Gwendolyn inhaled deeply, her face briefly showing a flicker of darkness.

Simultaneously, Gwendolyn received a call from Zayden, which she answered.

“Zayden, I apologize for not being able to answer your call earlier. I was in the midst of something.”

Zayden was currently sipping tea with Michael, and his acting was quite convincing. He had even

convinced Suzanne to make the call on his behalf.

His gaze was fixed straight ahead, devoid of any light and filled with darkness.

Michael asked, “Did she answer the call?”

“Yes, she did,” Zayden replied with a light smile.

“Are you with Grandpa?” Gwendolyn asked upon hearing Michael's voice.

“Yes, I'm with him. Old Mr. Ashton invited me for tea at the Ashton residence, and we're here now. I

called because he wanted to extend an invitation for you to come as well,” Zayden explained.

Gwendolyn glanced at the several stacks of agreements on her desk that needed her signature that

day. Fortunately, Connor had already checked them over, and all she had to do was sign them.

“I see. Okay, I'll be there. But I will be late.”

“Don't worry. I will wait for you, always.”

After hanging up the phone, Gwendolyn started to sign the documents.

Solstice Group owned numerous large shopping malls globally, including two in Avenport. Gwendolyn

was impressed by Sophia's capabilities in expanding the company to such a large scale.

As Gwendolyn was signing the documents, a wave of worry suddenly washed over her. She feared she

couldn't manage such a large-scale company properly.

Therefore, she resolved to study more books on business management to enhance her skills and

knowledge. Gwendolyn was committed to ensuring that the company Sophia left for her daughter

would not fail because of her.

As soon as that thought crossed her mind, Gwendolyn sat up straight and silently made a vow to

herself to manage Solstice Group with utmost care and responsibility.

Having finished signing two stacks of agreements, she set down her pen and picked up the internal

phone to make a call.

A few moments later, a secretary walked into the room. She was dressed in a dark blue professional

suit, had short hair, and wore glasses. Her overall appearance gave off a professional vibe.

“Ms. Ashton!”

The secretary who entered the room was Ruby Warnes. Gwendolyn had met most of the company's

staff during her visit earlier that day and remembered them well.

“Ms. Warnes, I've signed all of these. Please take them with you. I won't be coming to the office for a

while. If there's anything, please give me a call. If you need me to sign anything, you can come to my

home.”

Gwendolyn felt confident that Solstice Group's business was running smoothly and didn't see any

reason to worry.

Besides, Sophia didn't want her to overwork. Hence, the former had assigned Connor to help her.

Gwendolyn trusted that Connor would manage everything properly for her in her absence.

“Understood, Ms. Ashton.”

The secretary left the office with the agreements in her hand, and Gwendolyn followed suit, grabbing

her bag and leaving the company.

As Gwendolyn made her way to the Ashton residence, she caught sight of Zayden and Michael

engrossed in a game of chess in the backyard while Suzanne stood by and explained the situation to

Zayden.

After that, he instructed Suzanne on how to play the game. Michael looked extremely content.

Approaching them, Gwendolyn rested her hands on Michael's shoulders.

“Grandpa, are you all playing chess?”

Having stayed at the Ashton residence before, Gwendolyn had played chess frequently with Michael,

so she had become quite skilled in the game.

Michael smiled at Gwendolyn and said, “Welcome back, Gwen. Come take a look and tell me how I

should make my next move.”

Michael thought that Zayden had some talent in chess. Gwendolyn frowned and studied the board for a

moment. She then made a move and captured one of her opponent's pieces.

Michael burst out laughing at Gwendolyn's move. “Gwen, my dear, you still have a sharp eye.”

During Gwendolyn's stay at the Ashton residence, Michael was the only one who showed her affection

and attention. As a result, she acquired knowledge about his areas of interest.

Gwendolyn honed her chess skills through diligent practice. She hoped that by demonstrating her

abilities, she could finally earn her place as a member of the Ashton family.

As a child who had lost her mother and lacked her father's love, Gwendolyn didn't have a sense of

security and was always afraid that she would be kicked out of the house.

Observing the outcome of the game, Suzanne made a face and voiced her discontent, “Mr. Surrington,

one of your chess pieces has been captured by Ms. Ashton.”

Without a doubt, Zayden witnessed the outcome of the game, surprised that Gwendolyn knew how to

play chess so well. “Can't blame anyone but me for my poor performance.” He chuckled in response.

Michael looked at Zayden with an appreciative gaze when he heard that. This young man is quite

impressive. If only his eyesight has been cured, he will be even more outstanding.
