Gwyneth actually worried for the journalists' safety as they rushed away in droves to reach their vehicles before speeding off."Was that really necessary?" she asked.She then saw Liam's smug reaction and solemn nod. "Of course!"Speechless, Gwyneth got into the car.There were times like these when she found him childish, but for some reason, she could not get upset with him.After they got into the car, Gwyneth was planning to head over to Glen Corporation for a look. It had been a few days since she was gone, but there has not been any movement from the other side.However, Liam was insistent that she went home and rested.To make things worse, this was Liam's car, and the chauffeur naturally had to obey his boss' orders. Gwyneth was smiling despite herself as she watched the car take them straight to Luther Residence.However, Liam was right—too much had happened over the last few days, and they had to make many detours. Moreover, she was tired now that she got to rest h
Things were certainly lively online.However, celebrities do not care how they are portrayed in the news—what they fear most is having no news about them.And that was the case for Callie, whose reputation took a nosedive after Gwyneth criticized her composition and makeup.However, it was not that serious since a little scripted publicity would be enough to clear things up.The problem was Gwyneth—everyone knew about the beef between her and Callie. And now that Gwyneth was revealed to be Hayden's love interest and Liam's wife, she was basically untouchable!As such, no one would be allying themselves with Callie.Poor publicity and minimal exposure are certainly lethal to celebrities, and Callie's circumstances were getting worse by the day, while her spite for Gwyneth only grew.Still, she had been in touch with Elizabeth frequently. Given the other woman's mindset, she was certainly keen to use Callie to take Gwyneth down a peg. They certainly hit it off, while Callie rega
Hayden had been restraining himself ever since the flaming started. After all, the woman of his dreams was being cyberbullied, and Liam's interview was a clear challenge issued against Hayden himself.As such, he was ready to post something online on more than one occasion to argue his case but was hesitant.He eventually gave in and called Gwyneth, who was nestled on the couch at the time."You don't have to worry about anything happening online, Gwyneth. I'll clear up the issue personally… But I really don't get it. Why would Mr. Luther insist on throwing you to the dogs at a time like this?"While the first part offered Gwyneth some extent of assurance, the rest of his words certainly changed everything entirely. She stiffened while her eyes flashed—Hayden was putting it as if Liam was the one who caused the whole mess.And for some reason, she was slightly distressed even though she did not care about the issue at all earlier."That has nothing to do with Liam. He's just
Elizabeth taunt certainly hit Hayden where it hurt, but it only left him further incensed."What did you say?! Care to repeat that?!" he bellowed.Hayden's reaction left Elizabeth gulping in hesitation. Right now, she could not afford to upset Hayden. She could not afford to lose his wealth and influence, not to mention that she did not know how extensive his connections were. If he totally turned against her, she would have one less ally and potentially face all sorts of problems.Hanging her head and fiddling with her nails for a beat, her tone changed as she said, "Why don't you let me help you with Gwyneth Glen instead?""You? How?"Hayden's heart skipped a beat at the proposition. It was just too tempting—he loved Gwyneth for years and would always dream of being with her."You don't have to know how. All I ask is that you don't meddle."Hayden became silent for a while at that.Elizabeth did not hurry him, since she knew that he was thinking about it and hesitating.Ho
No one could have expected this move from Hayden. Not only had he proven he was not messing around with a married woman while clearing Gwyneth's name, but he had also denounced everything else as nonsense.The flaming died down a little with that, since everything said before proved to be pointless speculation, but conflict remained lurking beneath the surface—the netizens were always ready for war.However, if one were put a finger on who was most surprised by Hayden's movie, it had to be Liam.He had no idea where Hayden got those divorce papers and was certainly upset that the man asserted himself with such vindication.Moreover, things were going fine between Gwyneth and Liam, and Hayden had to butt in as if he belonged.Naturally, he was feeling an impulse to do something, especially since it was easy to prove that those divorce papers were faked.However, he had not been oblivious to how Gwyneth had been flamed over the last few days, and his heart bled for her while his sp
Callie watched the press conference soon after it was broadcasted live but stopped halfway after Liam declared that he was wooing Gwyneth.To be precise, she was unable to do so because she smashed her phone into pieces.Her pretty face was contorted uglily as her spite and jealousy for Gwyneth flared violently. She was no mere acquaintance of Liam's—one might even argue that they were very close. While she had her fair share of infatuations and lovers since her venture into showbiz, her feelings for Liam had always been different.After all, she loved him ever since they were children, since her family was as wealthy and influential as the Luthers. Moreover, they used to live in the same mansion district, and their parents were acquainted.But now, Callie was gritting her teeth as she stared at what was left of the phone she broke.She called her manager to buy her another one, and after she did, she contacted her family. In the end, Callie's mother was acquainted with Liam's
Callie appeared so shy one would think that she was some noble daughter who never left her ivory tower. "I'm so surprised you came, Liam. I almost couldn't believe it when Daddy told me you were coming."Liam nodded—that was about the extent of courtesy he was obliged to offer.Chad stood nearby, unable to hold back a smile as he looked on. He could not help seeing them as the perfect couple right then and rubbed his hands eagerly as he smiled. "Liam, my darling Callie isn't exactly young, but she keeps declining any suitors we get her. As I understand it, you're divorced, aren't you?"Liam at first remained impassive, but the vein on his temples throbbed when he heard that.Meanwhile, Chad continued without a care, "Our families have been neighbors for years, and your grandmother is a good friend of Callie's mother. That's why—""Oh, what are you saying, Daddy?!" Callie cut him short, looking utterly embarrassed as if she wanted to hide right then. "It's your birthday. Why are
Upon hearing her offer, Liam shot a look at Callie and then at Chad.In the end, he decided against saying what was in his mind—he could afford Chad that much respect since it was his birthday.As he tapped his fingers on his champagne glass, his voice seemed to drown out the bustling banquet hall. "Thank you, Ms. Palmer, but my assistant will be coming by later."The invitation was as vague as the rejection, but they were all adult enough to catch the subtext.Chad tried to sit with them and endorse her daughter, but he was the main event, and someone came along to drag him off soon enough. The others around the table were all acquaintances of the Palmers and held seniority over Liam.However, seeing that the young ones were flirting, they were tactful enough to excuse themselves until it was just Liam and Callie left. The latter appeared bored and was playing with her food with her fork as she sneaked glances at Liam.It had been years since they met, but he was even more h
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
