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
Wanda entered the room, then left to make coffee.Bianca finally recovered her senses when Wanda returned. She never imagined that one day Gwyneth would point at her and threaten her. She lowered her gaze to examine the jewelry in her hand, wishing with all her might to smash it. She ultimately lacked the courage to do so.Given that Gwyneth was the president of Glen Corporation and would go so far as to bar Gaspard from entering the office building, what else could she do? Bianca felt aggrieved. She gritted her teeth and decided to try a softer approach if the tough one failed.When Bianca considered this, she pinched her thigh, and tears started to flow out of her reddened eyes. She cried out, "Gwyneth, in all these years, I've never thought the two of us would end up like this."Gwyneth and Gaspard were both taken aback when Bianca suddenly started crying. She even shed a few tears, but everyone in the room knew it was an act.Gwyneth creased her brows and looked at Bia
Gaspard and Bianca left Glen Corporation and went back to their relatives' house. When they arrived, they were eager to begin reading the documents that Gwyneth had given them. After a quick check and cross-verification, they realized the properties now belonged to Gaspard, but they discovered a huge problem.Bianca asked, "Both of these shops are situated in the suburbs, right? Weren't they previously used for turnover?"Gaspard caught Bianca's incredulous gaze. Clearly, she could not believe that Gwyneth had dismissed them in this manner.When Gaspard checked the paperwork a second time, his complexion also turned white as a sheet.It was exactly as Bianca described it. Both shops were not profitable, were located in poor locations, and the businesses were not doing well. It was challenging to rent them out, let alone make money.Bianca swore aloud because she could no longer take it. The veins on her temples throbbed as she clenched her fists. She cursed, "Damn it! This brat! I
