Gwyneth asked, "Last time, my father won the Emerald Trails project at the auction. Did you know about this?"Wesley nodded immediately. He had not been there, but because of his relationship with Gwyneth, he had been paying close attention.She instructed, "Gaspard was able to afford Emerald Trails because he worked with a former business partner. You need to track down this person and set up a meeting with him."Wesley had known Gwyneth for years and was able to deduce her intent from a single sentence. He checked again. "To win him over?"Gwyneth gave a short and simple instruction, "Just buy him out."Wesley readily agreed to complete the task.The next morning, Wesley met with Gaspard's business partner. He said, "Mr. Campbell, it's simple. Everyone is aware that the Emerald Trails project does not generate much revenue, and this is a fact."Mr. Campbell was seated across Wesley in the cafe. The uneasiness was growing inside him. He asked, "What are you suggesting, Mr.
This time, Wanda went with Gwyneth back to Glen Residence. She could tell that Gwyneth harbored strong feelings for this home, a kind of bond that she was unable to break. At first, she was curious but shut her mouth and said nothing when she noticed it.Gwyneth took a quick look around the villa and was ready to leave.Finally, Wanda was unable to stay silent. She said, "Ms. Glen, there's nothing urgent to do at the office. We can stay longer if you want."Gwyneth gave Wanda a slight smile as she turned to face her. She said, "It's okay. This place is mine now. I can come here whenever I want."Gwyneth's somber expression changed after she said this. She gave off an aura that was hard to look away from. Thankfully, her emotions came and went quickly. She instructed, "We should head to AMC Group."Wanda immediately made a U-turn after hearing the instruction, but she was perplexed by Gwyneth's decision. She questioned, "Ms. Glen, didn't you say there was a meeting at Glen Corporat
Wanda watched them and laughed secretly. She thought about it and assumed it was a good choice for her boss to enter the entertainment industry.Even though nobody agreed with her, Gwyneth flatly rejected Ruby's advice. She told her politely, "I'm sorry, I've never planned for this nor thought about entering that industry."Gwyneth had ruled out every possibility.Ruby was upset with that response. It was like she had accidentally come across a stunning piece of jade but could only look at it.However, Ruby was very professional as Hayden's agent. She changed the subject and started explaining the rules and procedures for the upcoming show.After the briefing ended, Hayden was ready to leave. Despite having a hectic schedule, he insisted on spending some time with Gwyneth no matter what. Ruby could drop by alone and prepare Gwyneth, but he chose to accompany Ruby instead.Hayden chuckled as he turned to look at Ruby after the two had left the building. He asked, "How is it? Do yo
Ruby got in touch with the music variety show's director right away. She informed Gwyneth afterward that she had made the proper arrangements. After everything was settled, the production team began promoting the show online. Everything else was standard procedure. It was nothing particularly surprising.People paid them a great deal of attention because Hayden was a cast member, while Gwyneth was the guest. Internet users could accept or understand if Hayden had invited a popular singer or actress, but his guest was an amateur who had never been on screen before."What's so special about this woman?""Exactly! My idol will be on the show with her, even though she isn't a celebrity."A special guest! Hayden invited a special guest!"When Hayden's participation was confirmed, a lot of people began to pay extra attention to this episode.His fans were immediately in uproar when an unknown guest popped up out of nowhere. Some even began speculating that Gwyneth was Hayden's secr
Aubrey asked softly, her voice tinged with surprise, "Your family is running this place?"When Aubrey noticed Henry nodding, she could not help but raise an eyebrow. She commented, "Your family is involved with a lot of things."In response, Henry simply chuckled while placing his hands in his pockets. Given his understanding of Aubrey, this comment was undoubtedly a compliment.In the middle of their conversation, they heard a loud cheer and the sound of engines echoing from a nearby location.Aubrey's eyes lit up instantly. She exclaimed excitedly as she seized Gwyneth's arms, "Car racing?"Henry explained, "Yes, this park has a racetrack on one side. Races are regularly held there. Interested?"'Interested? She's more than interested.' The tight hold her friend had on her arm gave Gwyneth the impression that she was about to get bruised.Henry's eyes flashed with a glint when he noticed Aubrey seemed excited. He stepped aside and asked, "There's a race coming up. Would you
Nobody could have predicted the course of events. Under the guidance of the staff, the group moved slowly from the audience seats to the edge of the field.Aubrey was hyped, as if she had received an adrenaline shot.Gwyneth, meanwhile, crossed her arms and laughed heartily at the situation at hand. The racer had bad luck running into them.Gwyneth and Aubrey had initially met at a racetrack back then. They were quite young at the time, and both were attracted to thrilling sports.They were competing in a race where a car overtook them and sent their cars speeding off the track. The most annoying part was the judge's decision to award that person the championship without deeming this to be a foul. Though Gwyneth was not particularly interested in the championship, the backroom deal was a different story.Gwyneth had planned to approach the judge after the race and demand an explanation, and when she arrived at the judges' booth, Aubrey was already standing there with her hands on
Gwyneth reluctantly put on the racing suit when she realized Aubrey was serious about the race.The racetrack was typically hostile to outsiders, but she had faith in Aubrey's abilities. The earlier provocation by the woman had not gone unnoticed, and Aubrey would probably be at greater risk if someone sabotaged them.However, this situation presented a problem. Every driver on the field needed a co-driver, and with she and Aubrey being both last-minute additions, there was no one else to pair them with—Henry was sitting in Aubrey's car, but there was no one in Gwyneth's.After Gwyneth went down to the field by herself, Aubrey and Henry hurriedly exited the vehicle."I won't allow you to race alone," Aubrey declared, leaving no room for negotiation.Henry, on the other hand, had a considerably gentler approach. He said, "Ms. Glen, you're freaking me out. My life will be on the line if something bad happens to you."The two played a good cop, bad cop trick on Gwyneth, which made h
Aubrey did not particularly like bets to begin with, and she was even less fond of this wager."What kind of bet is this? Don't you think it's ridiculous?""I find it quite amusing. I don't care either way, so let's go with this wager."Aubrey probably did not expect Henry to agree, nor did she expect him to respond so readily. Realizing her mistake, she shot him an annoyed look."Mr. Munroe, why did you agree? You don't have a say in this matter, do you?"Cynthia was shocked to hear Aubrey speak to Henry that way. Even though she was familiar with Henry, she did not have the courage to talk to him in such a manner.Inwardly, she felt both jealous and envious.Looking at Henry, she noticed his smile deepen, and his eyes twinkled without a hint of annoyance."We can change the rules. It doesn't have to be a permanent girlfriend. It can be a time-limited one."Aubrey, who had been relatively calm, exploded when she heard that."This is getting increasingly absurd. Explain what
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
