As the car swayed throughout the journey, Aubrey started to feel sleepy and eventually fell asleep. The only one awake was Hayden, and he secretly balled up his fists when he caught a glimpse of the two in the rearview mirror.As usual, Liam followed Gwyneth to their room after arriving at the hotel.As soon as they entered, she hurried to the bathroom and prepared a hot bath. She walked out and saw Liam sitting on the sofa with his head hung low. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight.His sudden quietness stunned her because she had probably gotten used to his talkative nature.She urged softly, "You need to take a hot bath. It'll help you feel better."Her tone was imposing and caring at the same time.Liam slowly looked up when he heard her voice. He smiled at her and quietly went into the bathroom. Thirty minutes later, he emerged in a bathrobe and appeared much more energized.She picked up a hairdryer when she saw him and motioned for him to approach.He was not expecti
When they returned from Glacier Lake, Gwyneth asked for Hayden's help to send Wanda and Aubrey home. Meanwhile, she went back to the villa with Liam.The moment she arrived, she asked the servants to bring her some medication and took Liam's temperature. Luckily, it was just a mild fever from the cold.Gwyneth asked, "How do you feel?"She was overcome by many emotions as she observed Liam take his medication. This was her first time seeing Liam's vulnerable side. She never imagined that he had one. He became ill because he did not hesitate to save the life of a child he had never met. He dove into the icy lake to do that. He was compassionate.Gwyneth chuckled lightly and headed to the kitchen.Liam immediately perked up when he noticed this. He quickly stood up and followed her into the kitchen. As expected, he saw Gwyneth busy with something in the kitchen.He asked, "What is my wife cooking?""Chicken broth."She decided not to quibble with the way he addressed her, c
Hayden's trendy hashtag was extremely popular and prompted Gael to make others too. Half a day later, the news of Gael Strauss is a woman' had completely overtaken Hayden's new song release.When Liam first saw this, he believed he was hallucinating due to his fever. Ultimately, when a man falls in love, every woman he comes across looks like his beloved.At noon, Liam was confident that he had recovered from his illness, so he rechecked the trending hashtags. Later, as the familiarity grew intense and a powerful wave of emotion spread throughout his heart, he wished he had not done it. He wondered if his wife was the famous composer, Gael Strauss?In fact, Liam frequently listened to Gael's works, which were incredibly enjoyable and a true delight.When he considered this, Liam's thoughts returned to the previous international piano competition. That day, Gwyneth occupied a judge's seat beneath the stage. Then she took the stage, where her performance impressed the audience.Liam
After Liam went back to the villa, he locked himself in the study for the whole afternoon. It was unknown whether he had done this to punish Gwyneth or himself.After some reflection, he decided that he needed to step back. He did not resort to playing hard-to-get as a strategy, but he just felt that his relentless pursuit was not effective.When he thought about the song and photos his love rival had posted on social media, Liam tightened his fists in frustration.During dinner time, a servant was supposed to knock on the study room's door and remind Liam to have his dinner. As luck would have it, Gwyneth was passing by the room, and she decided to personally ask him to come out for dinner.She hesitated momentarily as she stood outside the study door. She chuckled a little and proceeded to knock on the door.Actually, she understood Liam's feelings, or more precisely, his rage. If she overlooked the essence of the matter, considering Liam's status, how many men out there had the
"Mrs. Luther, where are you going?""I'm going to Liam's office," Gwyneth replied with a smile, ignoring the maid's ambiguous smile.She packed the thermal lunchbox and drove to Luther Corporation.The two had not yet developed strong feelings, but their recent interactions were quite pleasant. Since Gwyneth was the one who made the mistake, she should be the one to take the initiative and make amends. She could live with that.On her way to Liam's office, she thought about every step. She would sincerely explain and apologize to Liam. It would be up to him whether or not he could accept it, but she would have done her best.Meanwhile, the majority of Luther Corporation's employees had left work. Elizabeth still sat in her office, but her mind wandered off to Liam. She was still employed in Luther Corporation, but she rarely got to interact with Liam now.Today, she overheard that the president was going to work overtime, and she could no longer hold back. After all the employe
Elizabeth was confident in the drug's effectiveness, but she worried that problems might arise if it took too long to work. Therefore, she poured all of it into Liam's drink.She observed him through the door's crack.His eyes were half-closed, and his movements grew slower.She could not wait any longer. If someone showed up now, all of her efforts would be in vain. So she quickly entered the office. As expected, his consciousness was fuzzy.When Liam heard the door open, he instinctively looked up, but he only made out a blurry figure. He could not identify who it was based on the face or figure. His thoughts and physical reactions instinctively made him believe that the woman was Gwyneth.Elizabeth had walked up to Liam. Her heart was pounding wildly, and she was more eager than ever to take the next step.As she was about to speak, Liam seized her wrist suddenly. His grip was incredible given his confused state.She played along with it and fell into his arms. She had never
Liam's body froze after Elizabeth said this. His ears picked up a familiar voice that echoed in his head, and it startled him. This voice did not belong to Gwyneth. It belonged to…Although it was difficult to recognize, he was certain that it was not Gwyneth's. He did not care about anyone but Gwyneth.Liam quickly grabbed Elizabeth's wrist with this thought in mind. However, it was difficult for him to get up, so he bit his teeth hard and roared in a raspy voice, as if he had not drank water in a while."Fuck off!"The sudden outburst shocked Gwyneth and made Elizabeth tremble in fear. Gwyneth assumed that Liam had said that to her because she was unable to see his face from where she was standing, considering the circumstances."Haha!" Gwyneth sneered icily, but she was heartbroken inside. She walked out of the office without saying anything.She glanced at the lunchbox in her hand as she walked out of the elevator, passed by the lobby, and prepared to leave.'It looks like
The paparazzi were satisfied with the material after fleeing from the office. Even though they were unable to get their hands on the specifics, they were still able to take some intimate pictures.Elizabeth sneered after they left. She thought the situation was ideal after she gave it some thought. At the very least, it would cause a stir online.Initially, Elizabeth wanted to leave, but she refrained from doing so when she thought about the circumstances and Liam's condition. If Liam was unable to control himself, she still had a chance to sleep with him. After all, it was a very powerful drug.She hesitated briefly as she stood before Liam's office. She then entered the room next to his office while leaving the door open.Originally her office, this room now belonged to Liam's assistant. She left the door open in case Liam could not find her when he walked out.Liam slowly got up from his chair and made his way to the restroom inside the president's office. His rationality slowl
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
