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
The word "malicious" caused the look in Liam's eyes to flicker slightly, but he remained silent. He laughed bitterly when he saw the strange red swelling on Judy's face. Whatever the reason, his wife was skilled at tormenting others."Liam, don't you sense a problem here? Is it right for Gwyneth to do this?"Judy looked aggrieved as she spoke and started to cry. Her emotional outburst was partially fake, but her frustration and discomfort were real. She also genuinely wanted Liam to punish Gwyneth.The office was eerily quiet. Judy felt her heart nearly leap out of her mouth from the tension she was experiencing. She hoped that Liam would see Gwyneth for who she really was and decisively break up with her.After a while, all she saw was Liam tapping on the desk rhythmically.His powerful aura nearly crushed Judy.She saw him finally move his lips as she was about to resume speaking.He said, "Everything happens for a reason, right? Before we discuss the reasons, let's go over
Wesley was concentrating intently on Gwyneth because he was eager for the holiday. He did not even blink, making it impossible for him to notice when the door behind him was pushed open.In response to the creaking, Gwyneth raised her head. It was Liam.Wesley continued, "Boss, don't get distracted. How many days will you give me? You've got a good heart, I'm very…"Wesley put his hands together and looked at his boss with admiration.Secretly, Gwyneth was disgusted by his actions.Before Wesley could finish, he felt a chill on his back and a gust of ominous wind blowing from behind. His senses gradually came back to him. He slowly turned around as if he had sensed something, and he made eye contact with Liam at a very close range.Wesley stood up right away, stuttering and sounding incoherent. He greeted him, "M…Mr. Luther…"He had worked together with Gwyneth for years and was good at reading people's moods. He could sense a strong jealousy in Liam. His heart skipped a beat.
Zeph gave her an embarrassed look, and Gwyneth shook her head and laughed. She trusted all of her employees, even though she hardly ever visited overseas branches. She appreciated how he treated her with warmth, but now was not the time for her to get some rest.Gwyneth was reviewing the documents again. She had already done so once at home.This time, her company was about to acquire a batch of top-notch medical equipment. The quality and quantity of these machines were astounding. Gwyneth had to come personally because it was a big deal.She asked, "Have the negotiations been arranged?"Zeph replied, "Yes, at one o'clock this afternoon."Gwyneth gave Zeph an approving nod. After checking some of the company's important accounts from the last six months and ensuring that there were no issues, she decided to go to the lounge."I'm going to get some rest now," she declared.Zeph scratched his head and grinned.Gwyneth had arrived at the designated location on time, around on
Louis had no idea that a delicate woman like Gwyneth could dodge the bullet so swiftly. Moreover, he was astounded that she was carrying a gun.She drew her weapon with such speed that Louis could not see it clearly or respond in time. The gun was against his neck, and it seemed like only a second had passed.Gwyneth was fuming. She could accept fighting openly, but she despised those who pulled dirty tricks in the dark."Mr. Segal, I think you owe me an explanation."Her words drifted coldly into Louis's ears. Gwyneth's tone was colder than the gun pressed against his neck. Although he had experienced many great things in life, Louis's forehead began to perspire at this moment. He shook a little and swallowed before speaking softly. He did not know where to look."Ms. Glen, this is a misunderstanding. Everything is a misunderstanding. We are just trying to eliminate threats and other uncertainties," Louis said."So you have to threaten your business partners to feel safe?"
Louis yelled with all his might, "Ms. Glen!" His sudden outcry was surprising. He had startled Gwyneth and further damaged her already poor opinion of him. She turned to face Louis and scowled intensely. She could tell that he was upset, and it amused her.'Why's he mad? It's his fault for being inefficient and inconsiderate. 'How could he still throw a tantrum? Is he a child?'She gave it some thought and decided to keep quiet. She had made a point with the aura that was slowly emanating from her.Subconsciously, Louis took a step back before cautiously advancing once more. He spoke with a hint of threat, "Ms. Glen, I'm advising you to think it through."She had been putting up with him for the whole trip and had reached her limit. She giggled lightly while crossing her arms. Then she raised an eyebrow at Louis, asking, "What do you mean?"He lifted his chin slightly and appeared arrogant. He said, "It'll be challenging to carry out your business plan if you refuse to do
In the past, Gwyneth would avoid wasting her time on these issues. Her rage was boiling when this man called her. She asked involuntarily, "What's wrong? Is there a problem at the company?""Nah, I took care of all of that. I just thought that calling at this hour wouldn't bother you."Liam's voice was soft, and he pressed his lips against the phone. Gwyneth felt that he was whispering in her ear.Liam was merely stating the facts. There was no hidden meaning in his words. He had looked up Gwyneth's flight information to determine the best time to call her based on the arrival of her flight. He called her because he thought it was the right time. He purposefully stayed in his study for two hours to go over documents and had a drink in his bedroom to pass the time.A single unfavorable response from her was enough to worry him. He thought his wife was the best, how could she fail at business negotiations?At first, he tried to learn about the deal, but he only had a vague underst
WK Group was a multinational corporation with global influence. Similar to other multinationals, it was controlled by its shareholders. Liam was one of them, holding slightly less shares than the president at the time. Few people knew this because Liam rarely handled any issues there.Louis felt as if his head was about to explode. Fearing that he might collapse, he quickly grabbed the armrest.'What's happening today? A major shareholder called me all of a sudden, and I also ran into a particularly difficult customer.' He started to speak cautiously after weighing it in his heart for a long time. If he remained silent the consequences could be disastrous.He asked, "Mr. Luther, why are you…here? What can I do for you?"Liam asked, "What happened to the business negotiation between the president of AMC Group and us today?""Huh?" Louis was baffled by Liam's query. His mind was completely blank.'Why would a shareholder suddenly become interested in this deal? Today is filled
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
