Gwyneth could not help but feel amused and bewildered by Liam's sudden change in behavior. Meanwhile, Aubrey took the opportunity to grab Gwyneth's arm while Henry was chatting with Liam."Gwynnie, why does Mr. Luther seem so off today? Did he hit his head or something?""What, you're asking me? I'd like to know too!"Ever since the incident with Lillian happened, their relationship had been peculiar. One wanted to explain but could not find the words, while the other wanted to act indifferent but did not quite understand.As a result, the situation became tense, lacking in intimacy though not quite a cold war either.Gwyneth could not help but be touched by Liam's unconditional support. Perhaps he wanted to dissolve this strained relationship, hence the childish act?"What exactly is your relationship now? Mr. Luther is seriously acting weird.""Just focus on your race. When did you become so nosy?"Gwyneth felt a hint of guilt as she looked into Aubrey's bright eyes. She pa
The synchronization between Gwyneth and Aubrey was not something that had been developed overnight. With just a glance or a small movement of the car, they could understand what the other intended to do. Moreover, these two were experienced racers. Although Cynthia, who was behind them, had decent skills, she was just slightly better than an average person. Gwyneth and Aubrey's cars were almost side by side, with only a small gap between them. Cynthia started to panic. Her knuckles had turned white from how hard she gripped the steering wheel, and her arms trembled. In the current situation, overtaking directly from the middle was impossible, but she would fly off the track if she tried overtaking from either side and made a slight mistake. "Heh, I won't let you have your way so easily..." Cynthia sneered before signaling to the co-driver sitting next to her. Her co-driver understood and immediately took out a walkie-talkie to contact the cars behind them. Interestingly e
Gwyneth was stunned by the sudden warm embrace.Her hands hung in the air momentarily, unsure of what to do, but then she wrapped them around the man's back.They were considered to be teammates for now, anyway. It was rare to have someone who would choose her without hesitation in the face of such dangerous racing.It was not about exaggerating to prove oneself; rather, it was about the fundamental trust that was hard to come by.With this in mind, Gwyneth's lips curled into a smile, and she relaxed."Gwynnie!"Suddenly, an anxious voice reached her ears, and Gwyneth quickly turned around in Liam's embrace.Aubrey and Henry hurriedly approached her, their faces filled with concern."Are you okay? Did you get hurt? You took those two turns too sharply!"As Aubrey gasped for breath, she grabbed Gwyneth's hand and turned it around, checking for any injuries.After confirming there were no issues, she sighed in relief. Then the two of them bumped their fists together and smiled
"If that's the case, you benefitted even more from this."Following Liam's gaze, Henry saw Aubrey happily chatting with Gwyneth.Henry instantly understood, and his smile became wider.Before the race, they had already agreed that this so-called time-limited girlfriend would last three months.Although it was only three months, it was still a good start. After all, who knew what would happen in the future?Both of them were elated on the inside, but considering Henry's nature, he naturally wanted to extort Liam, who had made so much profit."My ladies, would you like to have a meal together? After all, Mr. Luther has been a great help and has won a lot."'What a brat!' Liam chuckled inwardly, but it was not a bad suggestion.Throughout the journey from the racetrack to the restaurant, Henry never stopped talking."This race was really the most interesting one. I'm thrilled."Aubrey was chatting happily with Gwyneth in the back seat. When she heard Henry's words, she felt a jo
Gaspard had brought Bianca and Judy to this restaurant to entertain others, and it was because of the project in Emerald Trails. The original partner, Mr. Campbell, had completely withdrawn from it. In other words, Mr. Campbell did not want to risk his own money or offend Gwyneth because of this matter.After all, Gwyneth had her own influence and some support behind her, so not many people could afford to offend her. Since this was the outcome, Gaspard could not wait any longer nor handle the project himself. He was already short on funds. If he waited any longer and the project did not start, it could be taken away from him. If that happened, Gaspard would not even have any tears left to cry.So, since that path did not work, he decided to try another one. After thinking for a few days, he thought of some nasty ideas.If he did not find a partner but instead sought investment for the project, the potential profit would be even greater.And because of this idea, Gaspard set
"Hmm? What are you implying, Mrs. Glen?"While Bianca and Judy were in the washroom, Mr. Lane had a few more drinks. Now his face was flushed, and he had very little rationality left.He felt ecstatic when he heard Bianca's words and thought that the Glen family wanted to give him Judy.Bianca smiled faintly and quickly poured another glass of wine for Mr. Lane."Well, since you want to form a marital alliance with our family, I have another daughter."Both Gaspard and Judy were startled upon hearing this, but they immediately understood what Bianca meant and smiled."Mr. Lane, our younger daughter is still young and doesn't understand things or know how to care for others, but our elder daughter is different.""Oh, you have two daughters? But I won't believe it until I see her in person," Mr. Lane said as he downed the wine that Bianca had poured for him.He mentioned wanting to see the woman in person because he worried the elder daughter might not be as beautiful as the youn
The temperature in the private room suddenly dropped, likely because no one had expected Gwyneth to behave like that.The glass of water she poured was icy cold, enough to startle even the most intoxicated person.The current situation was like night and day compared to the previous situation, where Gaspard and his family had showered him with praise.Mr. Lane's excitement came crashing down as he rubbed his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand. Just as he was about to speak up angrily, he suddenly snapped back to reality and saw the cold face of the person holding his wrist.He blinked, and after confirming it was not a hallucination, his legs weakened, causing him to almost fall to the ground.He sobered up instantly."M-Mr. Luther..." Mr. Lane stammered, his expression filled with fear and regret."W-why are you here? I was a fool for not recognizing you moments ago. I didn't know..." As he spoke, Mr. Lane shifted his gaze away from Liam's face and onto Gwyneth.The whe
Although Gwyneth was not drunk this time, she had consumed quite a lot of alcohol and thus felt a little dizzy.Moreover, now that Aubrey and Henry were officially a couple, Gwyneth had nothing to worry about.With Liam's support, she slowly made her way to the car. Liam followed closely behind and sat in the back seat.It was the same two people, drunk again. However, Liam was disappointed this time because Gwyneth was not truly drunk.He could not forget the way she behaved when she was drunk in his arms last time. But on the other hand, after Gwyneth got drunk the previous time, she had a headache the next day.Thinking about it, Liam felt relieved. After all, he was the one who would be distressed if Gwyneth was not feeling well.Fortunately, he had a target to vent this slightly resentful mood.When they returned to the Luther residence, Gwyneth nodded at Liam and went upstairs to her room to rest.Meanwhile, Liam called his assistant over."Look into a local real estat
