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
Lulu's client was not some random celebrity. Grace was an A-lister. Tonight, there was no room for mistakes because this was an international event. Lulu could live comfortably for a year off the pay offered by her team. Lulu's heart was pounding as her hands held the makeup brush in midair. She asked, "What do you think?"Grace Gordon was recuperating with her eyes closed. She immediately opened them upon hearing this. She had high expectations, but when she looked in the mirror, her grin disappeared. She asked, "What is this?"The question sent a chill down Lulu's spine, and she began to perspire. She held her breath and asked nervously, "Is there something you're not satisfied with?"Grace rebuked, "What's there to like? Your work is nothing like what we agreed on! Everything is wrong!""How about this? Why don't I touch up the makeup for you?"Lulu was extremely anxious because she had never previously worked with such a renowned celebrity. Her fair skin had turned as whit
Gwyneth opened the door to the makeup room and walked in with ease.Everyone in the room looked attractive and was able to capture the camera's attention. But in Gwyneth's opinion, they only looked slightly more attractive than the average person.Gwyneth knew who needed her help today. She walked up and addressed her softly, "Ms. Gordon."Actually, Gwyneth was recognized by everyone in the room. She was the subject of every trendy hashtag for the past two days. Sure enough, some of them were jealous of her. Gwyneth's indifferent attitude shocked them, and they gasped in unison."How dare she talk to Grace like that?""My god! Where's this woman from?"They started to murmur, but Gwyneth ignored them. She had not come here to explain her actions, rather, she came here to help.Grace had some reservations about Gwyneth. She got to her feet and shook hands with her. Her attitude was pleasant. She said, "Ms. Glen, I'm sorry for asking for your help at the last minute."With a smil
"Ms. Glen, you have no idea that you have done me a great favor," Grace stated.Her words were sincere. It was in stark contrast to formal courtesies. Grace had a hard time believing how this chance encounter could turn into such a great success."Ms. Gordon, you're too kind."Grace explained, "Perhaps this might not seem like much to you, but it's a big deal for me."Her voice and hands were shaking at this precise moment, and Gwyneth could feel it. Clearly, Grace had been waiting for the moment to stand out for a long time. She laughed heartily and held Gwyneth's hand firmly. She asked, "Can I treat you to dinner after the red-carpet interview later?""Thank you for the invitation, but I'll pass. There is something I'd like to talk to you about."When Grace heard this, she raised her eyebrows just a little, letting her know she fully understood what she was getting at.Gwyneth brought up Lulu as the two found a more private place to talk.Grace had worked in the entertain
As predicted, the Glens made an official announcement a week later.Both the advancement of the Glacier Lake project and Gwyneth's control over Glen Corporation were major setbacks for Gaspard.In fact, he had practically used up all of his resources trying to hang on for so long. The worst part was that none of the people he had previously worked with were willing to help him.Everyone was aware of Glen Corporation's partnership with Luther Corporation, and nobody dared cross them. The Glens had filed for bankruptcy because Gaspard had no way of putting up with Gwyneth's attacks from within, and no outside help was available.Since the Glen residence was auctioned off, Gaspard had been staying with Bianca and Gwyneth at a relatives' home.Normally, Gaspard would be treated with respect by these relatives. Now, he was lucky for them to treat him with ostensible politeness. He was distressed, but he was powerless because this was what it felt like to be dependent on others.As Gwy
Gwyneth scoffed after she heard the brief pause from the phone. She hung up without waiting for her father's response. She had a hard time believing that Gaspard would play this game with her, given the situation.Gaspard was still in a daze in the meantime. He was taken aback when the call was cut off. He felt as though he had been slapped in the face when he thought back to Gwyneth's attitude on the phone. He harbored resentment when he heard this. He exclaimed indignantly, "Ingrate!"At this time, Bianca walked into the room. She wore a complex expression, something between anger and sarcasm. She crossed her arms and said, "Things don't seem to be going well."Gaspard cast a glance at Bianca when he heard this. He broodingly sat on the bed, not saying a word.The two remained silent for a while. After Gaspard's mood improved a little, Bianca said, "She is your daughter, and she can't deny it no matter what.""What are you trying to say?" Gaspard asked in an exhausted voice.Sh
When pushed into a corner, people are capable of doing anything. From Gwyneth's perspective, Gaspard had done all sorts of disgraceful things. She was unable to understand what he was doing now.When Gwyneth saw the jewelry in Bianca's hands, she felt as though her heart was bleeding. She could hardly remember it now that a long time had passed. Her mother had once shown it to her when she was a young girl. She told her that it would serve as her dowry if she were to get married.She would have probably kept listening if Gaspard and Bianca had not brought it up. They were unaware of it, but by showing her the jewelry, they had rubbed her the wrong way."Has Mr. Glen said all that he wanted to say? Have you accomplished your purpose? You may now leave if everything stated above has been completed."Gwyneth stood up from her chair. She furrowed her brows, glared at Gaspard and Bianca, and let out a mocking smile.Gaspard shouted, "Gwyneth!"Maybe Gaspard had reached his breaking po
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
