Even though Aubrey was aware of Gwyneth's abilities, the abrupt change that happened within this short time still took her by surprise. Aubrey was not particularly relieved as she sat on the hospital bed and observed Ms. Clem sobbing before her.She peered at Gwyneth and Henry, focusing specifically on Henry's expression.To put it bluntly, she had already accepted the apology and did not lack the money to cover her medical expenses. It was resolved at this point and she simply needed an explanation."Take her away," Aubrey said softly with an ethereal voice.Hearing this, Henry remained silent but felt the need to clarify a few things. However, the time was not right to say them.After the two left, Gwyneth examined Aubrey's wound and asked casually, "Do you blame Henry for this?"Aubrey was stunned to hear this. She stared at her friend and chuckled lightly, saying, "Well, your trick might work on others, but not me."Gwyneth glared at Aubrey, and the two exchanged looks bef
Liam asked, "Elizabeth?"When Aubrey brought up Elizabeth, Liam was taken aback. Looking back, he had shown Elizabeth a lot of kindness and consideration over the years.First of all, Elizabeth had never made a fuss and was always quiet and well-behaved. Second, and perhaps more importantly, he believed that she had saved him from the fire. She had saved his life.Liam did not have concrete proof yet, but the newly discovered information had proven this. At this point, Liam was unsure if Gwyneth was the one who had saved him, but he could definitively rule out Elizabeth.All Liam could do was keep treating Elizabeth as a friend after discovering the lie and the unfavorable truth. He was now making as many amends as he could after the effects of years of deceit.After weighing his thoughts, Liam settled into the chair by the bed. He knitted his eyebrows lightly, then relaxed.Aubrey asked, "So, all in all, am I correct to say that you are treating Ms. Lisle as an old friend?"Aub
It might be that Liam's words were too shocking or his voice was too soft, but Gwyneth struggled to understand what he was saying. She blinked and dropped the pillow to the ground. She questioned, "What do you mean?"Although the two of them lived under the same roof, the tone and content of his words seemed strange and a little unsettling to Gwyneth.She looked at Liam, then at Aubrey. There was no doubt that both were eagerly awaiting her reply. She ground her teeth, bent over to pick up the pillow from the floor, dusted it off, and made an effort to hide her feelings. She said, "You can go ahead, I need to take care of Aubrey."Aubrey said, "It's okay, you don't have to take care of me. Also, didn't you just find a nurse for me? Don't worry about me."Gwyneth grew suspicious about which side her best friend was on.Liam added, "Aubrey won't be able to get a good night's sleep if you stay here."Liam's sarcastic remark caught Aubrey off guard, and she cackled.Gwyneth was unim
Gwyneth gently rocked her body while staring at Liam with interest. She asked, "You just wanted to explain this? I get it now."Gwyneth was unsure of his plans, but she had to admit that hearing Liam explain the situation about Elizabeth gave her great relief. She assumed there had to be more to it, given his somber demeanor.Liam's gaze softened when he saw that Gwyneth was listening to him. Before responding, he briefly turned his attention away and stared at his empty teacup. He continued, "I also want to say that even though our marriage contract is due, the two of us aren't over."Even though Gwyneth was not particularly shocked by Liam's statement, she was still a little taken aback. If it were not for Liam's serious tone, Gwyneth might have assumed that this guy was talking in his sleep.Gwyneth protested, "Mr. Luther, are you kidding me? Our three-year marriage contract is now overdue."Liam admitted, "I know. Theoretically speaking, this suggestion makes no sense."Gwyne
Liam exhaled a sigh of relief after they agreed to the terms of the contract. He would work tirelessly to accomplish his goal after becoming aware of his feelings. This decision prompted Liam to display various gestures of goodwill, most of which left Gwyneth unsure of how to react.One morning after the two had breakfast, Gwyneth went back to her room to grab her coat and documents. Liam was gone by the time she went downstairs.Initially, Gwyneth did not think much about it because she assumed he had gone straight to the office. However, she was shocked to discover Liam waiting outside after she put on her coat. He was well-groomed, leaning against the car, and bowed his head to fasten his cufflinks.Gwyneth asked curiously, "You…What are you doing?"Liam slowly raised his head, his eyes displaying a hint of amusement. The man responded, "I'm giving you a ride.""Giving me a ride?" A stupefied Gwyneth repeated after him.She needed some time to process this. After bringing her
As the distance between the two people gradually narrowed, Gaspard could no longer stand it and yelled, "Gwyneth!"It was the time of the day when employees arrived at their workplace. Many Glen Corporation employees were going in and out of the building. When they heard this, they could not help but look at them.Gwyneth scowled and sported a fake smile, asking, "Mr. Glen, what can I do for you?"Liam was standing not far from Gwyneth. He watched with crossed arms and had no intention of stepping forward. Up to this point, the two had never talked about Gwyneth's family, but Liam knew that his wife did not want him to get involved in her family affairs just yet.Gaspard swept his eyes at Liam after hearing this. He was relieved when Liam remained silent. Gaspard roared, "Gwyneth! I'm asking you! Why can't I enter the office? Did you do this to me?""You don't have to speak so loudly. I'm still young, and my hearing is fine," Gwyneth mocked in a helpless tone.Liam chuckled sec
Given that the security guard knew Gaspard, he pulled him away gently.Even so, Gaspard was indignant. He was the company's former president and was now a major shareholder. It was bad enough to ban him from entering the company, but he was yanked away by a security guard later. He appeared to have fallen from a respectable position to that of a street thug.Gaspard felt his body turn numb, and he started to see stars. He tightened his fists and gnashed his teeth because he was about to lose all sense.It was a pity that Liam was right in front of him, standing only a meter away. Liam's strength and cunning made him a terrifying presence to Gaspard. Even when he had been Glen Corporation's president, Liam was someone he feared, let alone now. Despite feeling angry, Gaspard had to control his anger and dared not say a word.He grew more interested in Liam's relationship with Gwyneth than his own situation.'Since when did he and Gwyneth get along so well? Earlier this morning, thos
The knock on the door caused Gwyneth's hand, which was holding the cup, to shake a little. Before she could respond, the door was pushed open from the outside. It was Judy. She entered the room swiftly, holding a file in her hand. She was actually filled with resentment and jealousy at this point. Gwyneth had made a fool of their father and forbidden the respectable board member from entering the building. If this got out, he would become a laughingstock. Judy had therefore come here seeking an explanation on Gaspard's behalf. When she stormed into the office, she was astonished to see Gwyneth and Liam enjoying tea. Judy's expression froze instantly. The flames of jealousy in her heart flared, but she quickly calmed herself. She wore what she thought was a very gentle and sweet smile and walked toward the desk. She greeted, "Good morning, Liam. I didn't expect to see you here so early in the morning." He set his teacup down and casually replied, as if it were a common thing t
The wedding was set for early August, with one ceremony abroad and one in the country.Although Liam had proposed just before they tried her bridal gown, he still had plenty of romantic tricks up his sleeves. Even today, articles about them were still trending, just as he came true on his promise that everyone would learn that Gwyneth was his wife.It was a wedding like no other, and to avoid unnecessary issues, only close friends and employees from their respective companies were invited.For once, Liam's family was in full attendance, while no one from Gwyneth's family was present…-Glen Villa was in utter chaos as Bianca hurled insults at Gaspard, her usual gentle demeanor replaced by savagery. "See?! What did I tell you?! Gwyneth is an ingrate, and it's only now that you realize—you're her father, but you're not even invited to her wedding! What do you even amount to, Gaspard?!"Even as she ranted, she rushed up to beat him up.Furious, he shoved her away. "Stay away fr
Anyone would be melting from the charm of Harley's puppylike affection.Sadly for him, Gwyneth was not just anyone—she remained unaffected, and once he finished, she growled coldly, "I hope you'll remember that Liam is the only one for me."Harley felt a pang of pain over his chest and growled through his teeth, "If only I came to you earlier—""It still wouldn't be you," she said, looking him in the eye, each line more brutal than the next.And with those words, she refused to look his way as he returned to Liam.She thought that Henry had put together the banquet since his wedding with Aubrey was coming soon. Now, however, it seemed that Henry only wanted to set up a meeting between Harley and her.Feeling weary inside, she leaned against Liam's chest and breathed, "I want a trip abroad to relax, Liam.""Abroad?" Liam had just that in mind, though he had planned that further in the future and for a different purpose.Her mentioning it herself unquestionably suited him. Gent
Gwyneth's attention, however, was constrained to the first part—bewitched in college?! Hell, she would have no idea Harley existed if not for Henry, let alone that he was Henry's cousin.And what did he have to do with her anyway?Shooting Liam a grumpy glare, she huffed, "Don't try to blame me for everything. I don't even remember what he looks like.""Really?" Liam asked, deliberately provoking her. In reality, he was initially upset after seeing the text, but Gwyneth's reaction delighted him to the last.Smiling, he asked, "So you're saying that I'm the only one in your heart?"In that case, why waste time?Also, Henry really had the gall to ask his woman to console his cousin!Sneering, he picked up Gwyneth's phone and called Henry, who urgently cried from the other end, "Did you see my text, Gwyneth? I really have no choice here… Harley's drunk, and he's been calling your name since yesterday. When he woke up just now, he—""So what?" Liam growled, cutting him short. "Yo
Liam Luther?! How could it be him?!Harley was left in disbelief. He was Henry's cousin, and even if they grew up in different places, he knew that Henry and Liam were friends for life.However, rumor had it that Liam had long since gotten married and loved his wife dearly. Could it be…Harley shelved the thought that occurred just then. Whatever the relationship was between Liam and Gwyneth or how reliant she was on Liam, the only thing Harley knew for sure was that he loved Gwyneth.His knuckles clenched at his sides for a long while as his eye flared once more. Without hesitation, he strode forward, cutting off Liam with his trademark sunny smile. "Greetings, Mr. Luther. I'm Harley Munroe, Henry's cousin. He spoke of you a while ago, so it's an honor to meet you today."Even as he spoke, his eyes never left Gwyneth, but he remained antsy even though he braced himself inwardly."Also, I'm wondering what's the connection here—""I want to go home, Liam," Gwyneth murmured before
After a restful night, Gwyneth returned to Greer College to meet up with Willa… Willa, for one, had placed high value on their meeting, to the point where she had postponed a class just so that they could discuss things without any interruption. Stirring her coffee, Willa chuckled as she muttered, “So, before moving on, let me apologize if I came off as snobbish the first time we met… I just have high standards since I want my work to be loved by many, you know? With that out of the way, let’s talk about the collaboration… I admit I like the plot, but… There are several conditions that you need to think about before we can proceed.” Nodding in response, Gwyneth found herself surprised that her demands weren’t outrageous at all. In fact, Gwyneth would’ve followed those principles even if Willa hadn’t brought them up! Though this was nothing to Gwyneth, it meant the world to Willa. After all, it was hard to find someone so honest these days, and she was rather grateful that she h
After putting some distance between them, Aubrey couldn’t help but ask, “…Are you sure she’ll agree…? If you need help, I do know a few scriptwriters that could easily replace Willa…” Sure, she had faith in her friend, but Aubrey seemed like a tough nut to crack… It didn’t help that there were so many other competent screenwriters out there to compete with! To her dismay, Gwyneth simply grinned and replied, “Don’t worry, I have a feeling that she’ll soon see things the way I do…” Just as Aubrey was about to sigh in defeat, a young man suddenly ran up to them and said, “Well hey there, ladies… Where to?” It was clear that he had his eyes on Gwyneth, and following a smirk, Aubrey replied, “Kid, you’re years too early to try hitting on us…” Sheepishly scratching the back of his head, the man muttered, “I mean, can I at least have your number…?” Naturally, Gwyneth wasn’t about to humor this person, especially since he was already starting to annoy her. With that, she simply sho
With that in mind, Gwyneth made her way to the author’s home… Twice, in fact. Both times, she was fully sincere with her persuasions… and with how determined she was, the author finally gave in and agreed to meet up. Pleased to hear that, she agreed and headed straight to Greer College straight after. If she wanted this to work, then she would need a professional screenwriter who shared her perspective on the job… Naturally, Gwyneth already had someone in mind. Willa Robson. With that, she quickly gave the college’s principal to ask for his permission to sit in on a class, and he agreed to her idea almost instantaneously. After all, it was an honor for someone of Gwyneth’s stature to ask for someone from his college! It was around then when Aubrey learned about what Gwyneth was doing… and frankly, she had a hard time processing things. After all, to think that her friend was taking all this so seriously! This was the same woman who used to only turn the television on to catch up
After leaving the villa, Gwyneth bolted straight for Director Motley’s house… and when she arrived, she realized that the family doctor was there as well. The doctor had met repeated failures whenever it came to scheduling a meeting with Gwyneth… But even though this was his chance to finally have a proper talk with her, he refrained. After all, he had already figured out that she was a woman who preferred keeping to herself, and since that was the case, he didn’t need to pry… Regardless, the two quickly began having a lengthy conversation regarding Director Motley’s health concerns, with the director occasionally contributing to the conversation when needed. Following that, Gwyneth began giving numerous helpful recommendations which eventually made Director Motley tear up a little. Shaking his head with a sigh of relief, the director muttered, “I really appreciate your help… Really, you’ve extended my life by quite a bit by just sharing all this…” “Hey, you’re going to make it
Having made up his mind, James began to find a way to apologize to Gwyneth.It turned out she had found a diretor she wanted for Moon Runners, but it was a newcomer who had only recently debuted and caused a tiny stir.James' expression contorted when he stumbled on the news.He had led countless film crews in winning innumerable accolades, but Gwyneth preferred some newbie over his illustrious achievements?! The woman was clearly blind!While he was certainly filled with ill will and was intent on seeing what Gwyneth could do with some novice director, he still had no choice but to apologize to her for the sake of his own future.However, Gwyneth had already anticipated his move—as soon as he called, she signaled for Wanda to put her on a YouTube livestream session.Oblivious to the fact, James repressed the humiliation he felt of begging mercy from a younger person and flashed a false smile. "Ms. Glen, I apologize for being blind and insulting you before… but I heard that you'r
