Unexpectedly, Gwyneth bumped into Judy just around the corner. 'What a small world,' she thought.Judy probably had not expected to run into Gwyneth either, and the anger from the competition immediately resurfaced. "Gwyneth! What is the meaning of this? Did you know I was competing and deliberately set me up in front of all those people?" Her emotions surged, and she took a step forward. "You divorced Liam, and now you're jealous? Are you trying to humiliate me in front of him?"These accusatory questions left Gwyneth at a loss for words. She did not know how to respond when Judy added drama to the situation and even displayed hints of paranoia. Gwyneth sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, 'If I can't confront it head-on, I might as well dodge the bullet.' As she turned to leave, Judy grabbed her arm, her eyes filled with tears, but she was looking past Gwyneth."Liam, come and settle this. Running into my sister was a coincidence, but she just won't let it go and is even bullyi
Upon disembarking from the plane, Gwyneth did not wait for Wesley; instead, she made a beeline for the exit as if her life depended on it. She initially planned to return to her apartment, but with all her belongings still at the Luther residence, she reluctantly changed her destination. However, upon reaching the mansion's entrance, she found herself blocked. Surrounded by journalists both inside and out, she turned to leave but was caught in the throng."Gwyneth, is it true that you and Liam have divorced?""Will AMC Group and Luther Corporation collaborate in the future?""Do you have anything to say about Liam recently accompanying Miss Lisle at the hospital?"As the barrage of questions rained down, Gwyneth felt overwhelmed. Then, realizing that Liam would be returning soon, she panicked. "Regarding my relationship with Liam, we will hold a press conference to answer all your questions in a few days." Spotting a gap in the crowd of reporters, Gwyneth made a break for it but wa
Liam gently patted Elizabeth's hand, signaling her to relax. Then, after instructing the doctor to keep a close watch on her, he stepped out of the hospital room and called Gwyneth.Gwyneth's mood was already less than pleasant due to the ambiguous photo. To make matters worse, she received a call from the person responsible, though who that person truly was remained a matter of debate. She rolled her eyes and answered, "What do you want?"Since disembarking from the plane the day before, Liam had not seen Gwyneth. Although they lived in the same mansion, given their current relationship, he did not feel it was appropriate to disturb her. Remembering the last couple of days they had spent together, Liam's eyes softened as soon as the call connected."I'm at the hospital."Even if she did not want to admit it, Gwyneth's heartbeat quickened at the mention of the word 'hospital.' "You're at the hospital? What happened?"Liam, detecting the change in Gwyneth's tone, was quite satisfie
At the hospital, near the revolving door entrance, Gwyneth gritted her teeth, her wrist held firmly by someone. She had tried to come up with an excuse to escape Liam by saying she needed to go to the locker room to change out of her white coat. But she had not expected that she could not avoid him even after leaving through a side door. It made her wonder just how many spies Liam had placed throughout the hospital."What on earth do you want?" Frustrated, Gwyneth turned to face the expressionless man. The hospital was bustling, and many people had already cast curious glances in their way. 'He may have no shame, but I still do.'"I told you I want to thank you by having a meal together," Liam replied calmly, feeling her cool skin against his palm, somewhat reluctant to let go."Mr. Luther, your former lover is recovering well and is in a condition where she can be discharged." Gwyneth raised an eyebrow, her voice carrying a suggestive tone."So?""So, can you stop clinging to me?
Gwyneth could not quite understand Liam's fuss over such a trivial matter. She could not comprehend why a simple plate of spaghetti would require so much commotion, even if he had truly lost his sense of taste.She sat on the couch, watching the unfinished soap opera from the day before. Recalling how Liam had instructed his assistant to take note of the steps and method for making spaghetti, she could not help but find it amusing.At that moment, the mansion's front door was suddenly met with a series of knocks. Watching the maid hastily open the door, Gwyneth furrowed her brow. 'I finally took a day off for myself, and someone still comes to disturb me?' She paused the soap opera on the television and stood up, only to see Elizabeth walking in."Hello, Ms. Glen."Hearing Elizabeth's insincere greeting, Gwyneth sat back down. She responded with a soft acknowledgment, considering it an adequate reply."Miss Lisle, please have a seat. I'll bring you some washed fruits to eat. It ha
Although it was somewhat expected, Gwyneth could not help but laugh when she heard the maid confront her like that. "Mary, do you think this is the appropriate attitude and status for speaking to me?" Sighing inwardly, Gwyneth turned off the television. All she wanted was to relax and watch a soap opera, but it had become such a difficult task. Standing up, she positioned herself in front of Elizabeth and Mary, examining their appearances as her expression gradually grew cold.Realizing that her previous attitude was inappropriate, Mary slightly restrained herself. "Regardless, Miss Lisle is a guest. No matter what, Madam, you shouldn't do such a thing.""You just addressed me as 'Madam,' correct?" Gwyneth crossed her arms, speaking softly as she looked at the two women before her. She had no intention of explaining herself regarding the baseless accusations, but she would not let it slide either.At this question, Mary hesitated while Elizabeth secretly clenched her teeth. 'That ti
Elizabeth had witnessed Liam's cold face and demeanor before but never experienced it for herself. She wanted to help Mary out to benefit herself in the future, but she did not dare say a word at that moment.Elizabeth also noticed that Liam was not listening to her. 'This is the first time he's not letting me have my way. Is this because of Gwyneth?' She thought. Elizabeth could not help but glance at the woman. She became mad when she saw how much Gwyneth was enjoying the show.Mary was fired, partly because of her actions and partly because Liam wanted to exemplify her. The servants in the Luther residence did not treat Gwyneth badly; they mainly just ignored her. Although Gwyneth did not mind that, Liam was not thrilled.As expected, everyone's attitude toward Gwyneth changed drastically after Mary's departure. Regardless of whether they willingly did it, they finally treated her as the lady of the house.Elizabeth stayed for dinner that night. She was touched by the fact that
Elizabeth lost her appetite that night. What was supposed to be a delicious feast now tasted like nothing. She dreaded for it to be over.Once they were done with dinner, Elizabeth immediately followed Liam as he returned to his study on the second floor.Gwyneth also happened to go upstairs for some rest. She could not help but be amused by Elizabeth's protesting-like gaze. 'What is going on in that woman's mind?' she thought.Liam sat at the desk in the study. He looked at Elizabeth, and his eyes were slightly dazed. Since the day he learned that her wound was a scald, he started to act cold toward her."Liam, you said you'd let me work in your company. What exactly is my role there?"Liam froze when he heard that. He had agreed to this then because he wanted Gwyneth to go home with him quickly. But, now that he thought about it, he realized he had made an abrupt decision."Report to HR tomorrow and take a secretary position for the time being."Elizabeth was elated. 'Becoming
