Upon hearing these words, the stage manager immediately turned on the microphone, and Gwyneth naturally picked it up.Not only was she not nervous or had stage fright, but she also remained completely calm even with the camera right in front of her and showed no signs of panic."Hello, everyone. I'm Gwyneth. Thanks to Mr. Hayden's invitation, I have the privilege to stand on this stage."For Gwyneth, speaking formally like this was quite normal. Standing on a stage like this was nothing special. The key was Gwyneth's presence.She might be an amateur, but her presence could not be overshadowed by anyone, not even by Hayden, who was standing beside her. No one could ignore her existence, and what added to her charm was her makeup."Is this a new trend in makeup? It's beautiful!""Yeah! It looks so natural and subtle, but somehow I can't take my eyes off her! It's stunning!"The fans in the audience could not help but sigh even though they still had a hint of hostility toward Gw
"Okay! Lastly, I'd like to thank Mr. Hayden and Ms. Gwyneth for their heartfelt performance!" the host concluded.Upon hearing this, the audience below the stage suddenly erupted with pleas for her to stay. They had already forgotten how envious they were of Gwyneth when she first came on stage.The host also had his own selfish thoughts. He wanted these two people to stay on stage and sing a couple more songs, but the show had to go on and the program could not have any interruptions.Clearing his throat, he reluctantly began to proceed with the next part of the program.This host was considered a veteran in variety shows. In other words, if he were just a small-time host, he would not have been able to invite Hayden. This alone was enough to prove his competence.Throughout his many years of professional career, he had made almost no mistakes.But it seemed that the rhythm of the music was still lingering in his mind, and he had not fully snapped out of it.When his next state
After the program ended, both the director and the host could not help but heave a sigh of relief.They felt this episode was more exhausting than everything they had recorded in the past year, and it almost wore them to the ground.Following the guests' departure, the production team gathered together and exchanged glances with bitter smiles on their faces.Finally, the director took a positive approach as he tried to change their mindset and perspective."Everyone, there's no need to be too nervous. If we end up trending and gaining attention, our viewership will also increase, and that’s good, right?"Upon hearing this, everyone almost burst out laughing.What he said was true. They did not need to create any hot topics themselves; it had come knocking on their door.The show was recorded on a weekday and aired over the weekend.As the director had predicted, trending topics went viral on the evening of the broadcast day, just as he said they would.It was not just a small
Speaking of which, Callie was quite professional in her field. After listening to Gael's composition once, she immediately opened the audio editing software.She placed this song alongside Gwyneth's song and found a high degree of similarity after matching the two.In terms of composition, with only a limited number of musical notes, some overlap is normal. But once it goes beyond a certain level of similarity, it can be considered plagiarism.Callie looked at the display on the software, where the red color represented the degree of similarity, and it was extremely high.Based on the proportions, it was clear that this was not mere inspiration or tribute but blatant plagiarism.Callie felt ecstatic after she realized this and quickly posted this news on her Instagram account. She had good PR skills, so she had a substantial number of fans on the social media platform.She knew some things could be said in a direct and straightforward manner while others had to be more subtly imp
Hayden never commented or followed the news that had circulated online. He disliked it and found it problematic. Plus, maintaining those relationships was demanding. However, he had to step in when Callie forced Gwyneth into the spotlight.He browsed the photo album and carefully picked out a few images from the recent event. There were photos of Gwyneth and pictures of the two of them singing together. He followed the timeline and posted a square grid made up of nine photos. There were no captions, but his stance was clear.As expected, after he published that post, the turmoil online quieted down significantly. Some people reacted as if they had been silenced, and Instagram's real-time traffic shrank significantly.It was mostly Hayden's fans who kept quiet. They feared that their idol would be tricked.Initially, Hayden's fans were delighted to see Callie's musical comparison. Even though Gwyneth had given a fantastic performance on stage yesterday, it would be entirely differen
Nobody was aware of what was going on. In the scenario where an Instagram account had been hacked, the ID would completely vanish. Why would the hacker clear all of the account's contents?Internet users did not have to wait long for more exciting news to drop. Instagram sent out a push notification, but it was a simple ID with no verified badge. It was a personal account belonging to Master Gael.Basically, everyone who listened to her music knew who Master Gael was, but they also all knew that she was very low-key. Master Gael's appearance had never been revealed on Instagram or made public. However, she had registered an Instagram account because someone had been stealing her work. Everyone was shocked that Master Gael did not write anything condemning the theft or plagiarism of her works. She only wrote a simple message and tagged Gwyneth's ID."That song was originally written by Ms. Glen."That was all that Master Gael wrote. Nothing more.Internet users had a hard time
The incident had come to an end, and things had quieted down on Instagram.The hashtags related to Gwyneth remained popular on the list. Numerous fans followed her because of her talent, beauty, and melodious voice.Hayden's supporters had two groups. One of them thought that Hayden was great but disliked Gwyneth. While the other group was the total opposite. They shipped the couple. They made assumptions about the couple's relationship and potential sparks by examining and taking screenshots from the show that Gwyneth and Hayden had attended."They definitely feel a connection to each other. If not, why would someone with Hayden's temper invite an amateur to perform onstage?""My thoughts exactly! That was such a beautiful song. Would Hayden just give it away if the two did not share something special?""Perhaps they're already married, but we just had no idea!""Exactly. You said it!"Liam was in his office when he saw the discussion on Instagram. He was so close to giving ano
Lulu had been in the business for a long time, and she took great pride in her ability to control her emotions.As the president of two corporations, Gwyneth got used to the brutal business world. Her ability to read people was exceptional. A young woman like Lulu was easy to see through.Gwyneth chuckled to herself quietly. She said nothing and sat down on the chair. Gwyneth greeted Lulu gently, "Good afternoon." Then she waved to get the waiter's attention and placed an order for coffee. She hardly spoke or moved, but her temperament and demeanor were unique in their own way.Lulu was shocked, but she made every effort to hide her feelings. Under the table, Lulu gripped her hands tightly as anxiety filled her heart. She said, "Ms. Glen, I’m surprised that you would agree to meet me. I'm truly sorry about the previous incident. You know, I couldn't say no when Ms. Palmer asked me. I…"Lulu stuttered through her explanation, but her attitude seemed sincere. She was telling
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
