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
Gwyneth crashed into the man who had just entered through the door because she was unable to stop in time. She asked, "Why are you here?"She twisted her brows, and a portion of the powder from the vial in her hand flew out.Liam explained, "I’m here to pick you up from work."Gwyneth experienced some unease when Liam answered naturally. She moved her mouth but was at a loss for words. The powder made Liam cough lightly. He lowered his gaze and saw that it was just a medicinal vial, nothing extraordinary."What kind of medicine is this?"Gwyneth muttered, "Something nasty."She did not provide any specific information or hide anything from him. She walked past him to the emergency exit and dropped the vial into a big trash can. She then went back to the office to pack her things and go home with Liam.Liam remembered that Gwyneth was an experienced doctor. She had most likely ground that odd powder. He was curious but did not probe further.The following day, Liam went to
