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
There was fear and worry in Louis's voice, he was not trying to please Gwyneth.Gwyneth sensed something was off precisely because of this.Many people would rack their brains to partner with WK Group. Theoretically, there were lots of people who wanted to collaborate with them other than Gwyneth.Louis's response gave the impression that she was his only customer. How could their roles be reversed in such a short time?Louis said, "Ms. Glen, I made a mistake. I'm truly sorry."Gwyneth leaned back in her chair and noticed Louis appearing uneasy.Meanwhile, he spoke nervously since she did not take a stance on her attitude. He asked, "Ms. Glen, are you still there?"She answered, "I accept your apology. Is there anything else? If not, I will hang up now.""No, please don't!"She was startled by his loud scream. She immediately sat up straight, and her eyes briefly flashed with a sense of helplessness.He offered, "Ms. Glen, please give me another chance. We can renegotiate. I
"Yes, I don't trust you," Gwyneth softly acknowledged.Louis found himself speechless. He had probably never anticipated that Gwyneth would be so candid. He curled his hands into fists and was perplexed about how he should respond.From Gwyneth's point of view, it was not a matter of trust. It was a business partnership and nothing more.The reason for Louis's abrupt change in behavior was what baffled Gwyneth the most at this point. She could understand if he persisted in acting stubbornly, but his current attitude truly confused her. She detested all these ruses and was not the type to play games. Naturally, she would not resort to stall tactics. She asked directly, "Louis, we're both adults. If there are any issues, please let me know right away."After two meetings, Louis thought that he could handle this woman for a little longer, but he was unsure of how to answer this direct query.He blinked at Gwyneth. He hesitated a little at first but eventually decided to give
Liam rubbed the phone screen with his fingertips. He had a very gentle look in his eyes as he shifted his body slightly. After she was gone for two or three days, Liam had to admit that he had started missing his wife.He began tapping on the screen while thinking of something. He was about to send a message but decided against it. Given the time, Gwyneth might have gone to bed, and he did not want the message to wake her up.On the other hand, the business community and the underworld of Meflines were in an uproar.Many people had been eyeing the batch of medical equipment that WK Group was about to sell. It was a small industry, and news spread quickly. The entire industry was in chaos after Louis and Gwyneth signed the contract.It came as a shock to one Meflines mafia in particular. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were greedily coveting the goods. They had initially hesitated and could not decide due to the price.WK Group conducts business with both legitim
When Liam called, Gwyneth was resting at the hotel. After dealing with the annoying situation involving Louis after the landing, no amount of rest on the plane was sufficient to replenish her energy.As she lay in bed, she thought back on the advice Liam had given her over the phone. She struggled to hold back her laughter at the thought. She had heard about the situation in Meflines, but was she going to stay indoors because of those people? That would be a waste.About an hour ago, Aubrey just called. She knew her best friend was visiting Meflines on a business trip, so she coquettishly requested that she bring her a bottle of limited-edition perfume.It was a good idea to go shopping. Otherwise, it would be exhausting if this trip were purely for business purposes.Gwyneth sat up abruptly after thinking about this. A glimmer of light flashed through her eyes as she took a look at the two pairs of shoes in her suitcase. She showered, changed into simple clothes, put on a pair of
