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
Gwyneth heard Judy's voice echoing in the lobby as the elevator doors opened on the first floor. She arched her brows while wishing that she had not come to Glen Corporation today. As expected, Judy put her hands on her hips and argued with the receptionist when she arrived at the reception area.Judy scolded, "Why can't I go inside? I'm Judy Glen! Are you blind?"The receptionist was flustered when she heard this, but she dared not rebuke Judy.Judy made the assumption that the receptionist would not respond by fighting back, so she made the decision to continue tormenting her to let off some steam. She was about to speak again when she saw Gwyneth out of the corner of her eye."Judy, why are you stirring up trouble here instead of enjoying life at home?" Gwyneth asked with her hands casually tucked in her pockets.Judy's current state was in stark contrast to Gwyneth's confident demeanor.Judy countered, "Why am I here? My family owns this business! I should be the one asking
The security guard who was sitting on the side and watching the video asked softly, "President, should we…"A thin layer of sweat had formed on the security guard's forehead. The president had given her order, but Judy still barged into the building brazenly, putting them all between a rock and a hard place.Gwyneth was leisurely watching the security footage with her arms crossed. She observed Judy, who appeared pleased with herself. In a way, she should thank Judy because she had assisted her in catching an employee who had ulterior motives.Gwyneth commanded, "Wanda, prepare his file and ask this man to report to the HR department today. He's fired."Wanda was standing beside Gwyneth when she heard this. She promptly stepped forward, responded quickly, and carried out the order.The security guard's complexion had almost turned pale due to his fright.Judy smoothly followed Mr. Fraley to the lobby, but Mr. Fraley was called away by the HR department. Although the situation s
Judy was startled by the sudden, loud noise. She instinctively turned her head in the direction of the noise. She saw Wanda entering the room with two bodyguards accompanying her. They were the same bodyguards who had just thrown her out."Please escort this woman out," Gwyneth said while she walked around the desk and took her seat.The bodyguards understood what to do when Wanda gave them a signal. They walked over and grabbed Judy's arms, regardless of how hard she struggled or resisted.For a while, Judy's yells could be heard from the president's office all the way to the elevator and then the lobby. When they arrived at the company entrance, Judy shouted, "Let go of me! I can leave by myself!"The bodyguards ignored her. They threw Judy out as soon as they exited the automatic entrance.The Glen Corporation building was located in the city center. Even though it was not rush hour, there were plenty of people walking by. Many of them stared at Judy, whispered among themselves
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
