Upon hearing those words, Elizabeth was completely dumbfounded. Her hands froze in mid-air, and she was unsure how to respond.In all the years she had been by Liam's side, she had never been reprimanded or warned in such a manner.She swallowed hard and nervously tried to think of something to say.Liam looked at Elizabeth's state and narrowed his eyes slightly before sighing. After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned and walked toward the police captain's office.By the time Elizabeth fully regained her senses, Liam had already returned."Ms. Lisle, take care of yourself," he said indifferently as he walked into the room, leaving the words hanging in the air.Watching the captain walk into the room and hearing those words, Elizabeth finally realized what had happened.Did Liam go to the captain and get her released?On the surface, it seemed like a good thing, but there was still a heavy weight in her heart, and she was unable to relax at all.She numbly followed Liam ou
The people present were basically the head of various departments within Glen Corporation, so they were well aware of the short-term direction.After all, the previous incident at the auction had caused quite a stir, so they knew the next project would be the Glacier Lake project.However, when Gwyneth announced this, they could not help but feel surprised.Initial preparations for such a major official project would usually take a corporation at least a month.But now, this young CEO had finalized it in just two weeks?"Ms. Glen, d-did it really take such a short time to...?" The director of the marketing department slowly raised his hand, voicing the doubts of everyone present.Gwyneth simply smiled in response."You can take a look at the overall structure. If there are any issues, we can make adjustments right away."In fact, although Judy had been responsible for the project planning, she had no idea about the overall structure. In other words, Judy mistakenly believed tha
In fact, Gwyneth did not need to have such a rushed schedule. She could have easily slept well today and started her journey tomorrow.But she did not want to see Liam at the moment, and she was sure that she would not encounter him if she went and packed her bags at this time.After packing everything, Gwyneth set off in her car and went to pick up Wanda first.Gwyneth's phone suddenly rang as they were about to head toward Glacier Lake.She looked at the caller ID, and a smile appeared on her face as she immediately answered the call. However, as soon as she brought the phone to her ear, she heard a complaint from the other end."Gwyneth! You're so heartless! Not only did you not come to see me, but you didn't even care that I was discharged today?" Aubrey's voice rang out from the other end of the line.Aubrey's outburst made Gwyneth feel a twinge of guilt.Lately, she had been busy dealing with company matters, and although she called often, she had not visited Aubrey. In re
Gwyneth was genuinely surprised by Aubrey's change in attitude toward Henry. She did not know much about the man, but the first impression between people was crucial.With this in mind, Gwyneth slowly raised her head with a frown and prepared to persuade Aubrey. But when she saw Aubrey's expression, she could not help but freeze."W-why are you staring outside like a deer in headlights?"The car had already stopped, and Aubrey still stared unblinkingly out the window."Hey! What's gotten into you?"As Gwyneth spoke, she waved her hand in front of Aubrey's eyes, but there was no change in her demeanor.Furrowing her brows, Gwyneth followed her gaze and saw Hayden standing outside the car."You..."Gwyneth raised an eyebrow at this and looked at Aubrey as if she had figured something out.After all, only a few of them were going on this trip, so traveling in one car would be sufficient, and Gwyneth suggested picking up Hayden on the way.This led to an unexpected encounter."Y
With just that one sentence, Gwyneth instantly felt a headache coming on. She furrowed her brows and leaned away from Hayden without much thought as she tried to avoid him."He owns this land in Glacier Lake, and there’s a collaboration between us during this period, so it's only normal for him to join the inspection."On the surface, there was nothing wrong with that statement, but deep down, Gwyneth still felt a slight discomfort.There was nothing illogical about the situation, but Liam could not shake off his uneasiness.His previously nervous emotions surged once again. He reached out and pulled off his tie, and there was an urgent look on his face. But even if he was dissatisfied, he did not have the authority or position to command Gwyneth at the moment.After asking a few more questions on the phone, he hung up. Then, he dialed his assistant's number."I won't be in the office tomorrow, so—""Sir." The assistant trembled in fear as he interrupted Liam. "There are several
Aubrey was taken aback for a moment after hearing what Gwyneth said before she fully understood her meaning. Her cheeks instantly turned rosy, and she had nothing to say in response.In the end, she simply closed her mouth, held the photo, and enjoyed it quietly.Seeing this, Gwyneth did not pay any attention to the crazy little girl and went straight into the bathroom.After she had taken a quick shower, she came out to see Aubrey sitting on the couch, looking at her with a serious expression as if they were in an interrogation."What's up?" Gwyneth asked while drying her hair. The next second, Aubrey slammed the table abruptly."Gwynnie, I figured it out!""Figured what out? That you should've been admitted to the psychiatric ward before this?"Gwyneth chuckled lightly and then sat across from Aubrey, looking at her with interest."I figured it out. I understand why Hayden followed us on this trip.""Didn't I tell you? This is his territory, Glacier Lake, so...""No! That's
After some coaxing and persuading, Gwyneth finally managed to calm Aubrey down and get her back to her room.Each of them had a good night's sleep in their respective rooms.The next day, they proceeded with their scheduled inspection and research at Glacier Lake, informing the villagers and taking their emotions into consideration.Since the villagers were the original residents near Glacier Lake, it was essential to handle the situation delicately.During their previous visit, they had merely laid the groundwork, but this time they were preparing for the grand opening, so it was necessary to inform everyone.Fortunately, the foundation had been laid during their previous visit, and with Wanda accompanying them, the negotiations went smoothly.Meanwhile, Gaspard was on the verge of losing his mind at the Glen residence.He had no access to Glen Corporation anymore, and he had to rely on Judy for information. When Gaspard heard that Gwyneth was about to launch the Glacier Lake p
There was still some distance between them and the villagers.Even so, Gwyneth could see the emotions clearly on their faces. If it were not for a few familiar faces, she would have thought these were completely different people from yesterday."What's going on?"Gwyneth turned around and saw Hayden walking over with an indifferent look on his face.Gwyneth sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know what's going on. These people suddenly disagree with the demolition.""What? Why? Weren't things fine yesterday?"Hayden's question made Gwyneth smile bitterly. She also wanted to know what had happened overnight.While the two were talking, they suddenly heard Wanda exclaim sharply, "Ms. Glen, look at them..."Upon hearing Wanda's words, Gwyneth quickly looked toward where she was pointing.Several workers responsible for the demolition argued with the villagers, their faces flushed and veins bulging.Gwyneth frowned. With such heightened emotions, something bad would definitely h
