Liam laughed at Callie's words.

It was not an icy laugh but an actual one.

Even Callie was surprised he could laugh so tenderly because of what she said, and her pride suddenly did not matter just then—Liam was just so beautiful at that very moment.

She could actually feel her cheeks burning, as it had been a while since she felt that embarrassed.

However, she was not aware that Liam was not laughing because of her—he simply remembered Gwyneth, who was supposed to be his wife.

And yet, why did he never hear her say such things to him?

Now that he thought about Gwyneth, he had even less reason to stay—especially since he never had any intention of doing so.

Finishing the remaining half glass of champagne, he rose to his feet, but Callie quickly caught him.

"Where are you going, Liam…" she murmured with a sinking feeling, as if she was in heaven one moment and had fallen into hell the next.

She thought Liam cared enough about keeping up appearances to stay, but she was forced

    Once Callie reached Elizabeth's apartment, she threw herself on the couch, almost on the verge of tears."What's this?" Elizabeth smiled. "Who hurt you?""Who else could?! Of course it's Liam!" Elizabeth's smile stiffened for a moment when Liam's name was mentioned, though she recovered in an instant. "What happened? How did he upset you?"Callie took a tissue from the table to wipe the tears in her eyes before turning toward Elizabeth and complaining about everything that happened at the banquet.It was obvious that her efforts to court Liam failed, and her affection in turn devolved into spite.Elizabeth was laughing in her head as she realized that, but she appeared to empathize with Callie as she sat beside her."Let me tell you a story, Ms. Palmer…"Callie looked at Elizabeth in curiosity, but stayed silent.Taking that as approval, Elizabeth told her about the fire incident—she had recounted it so many times by now she knew it backwards."I had permanent burn scars bec

    Wesley nodded, and Gwyneth suddenly laughed.It was a beautiful look, but Wesley knew her well enough to tell that she was up to no good again.To no surprise, Gwyneth twirled the pen in her fingers pensively for a moment before saying, "Inform the gentleman that I'm interested in investing, but only if he would agree to my condition…"Wesley was sweating bullets from Gwyneth's smile—he could only hope that his boss did not go too far…"The said condition," Gwyneth then added, "is my participation in this program."Wesley heaved a sigh of relief, though he was not about to let down his guard just then."Yes, boss. I'll inform him right away," he said, and returned to the office to make the call."Of course! It would be our pleasure!"The man was all too happy to agree to it—who was he kidding?! Right now, no one was trending more than Gwyneth. If she took part in the variety show, the viewership would skyrocket!And with the agreement made, Hayden and Liam caught wind of it—th

    Gwyneth was actually reluctant to cause issues—it would be ideal if the production crew did not film her at all.While she got her wish, Callie approached her within minutes. "Long time no see, Ms. Glen," Callie said with a voice completely different from her usual one. There were cameras, after all.Gwyneth ignored her and frowned as Callie called out to her again. "Ms. Glen…"Gwyneth opened her eyes while sighing inwardly—was it that hard for her to get some peace and quiet?"What is it?" she asked.Her cold demeanor left Callie gritting her teeth, but Callie was not about to show her true colors on camera. "Actually, I'm surprised that you would take part in this program, Ms. Glen… But a word of advice: know your place."To netizens who did not know the truth, Callie would actually seem kind since Gwyneth was not involved in showbiz—she might make mistakes since she would know how to handle herself in a variety show.However, Gwyneth knew all too well what Callie actual

    After pressing the floor button and getting into the elevator, Gwyneth and Liam remained silent. They entered the room a short while later.When Gwyneth heard the door close, she turned around. She said, "I'm surprised that you would join the show. Since you're already here, let's do a good job together."Liam thought of something, but the fact that Gwyneth had more to say caught him off guard."After the show, we should part on good terms."'Part on good terms?'Liam's heart jerked violently. He was not happy to hear those words. He recalled that his wife had been distant from him lately, as opposed to when they had just returned from abroad. He felt as though a piece of his heart was missing and took a step forward involuntarily.He reached out to grab Gwyneth's wrist, but she took a step back, and her expression made it clear that she was irritated.She warned, "You shouldn't go too far, Mr. Luther."Liam creased his brows when he saw her actions and facial expressions.

She was bound to feel something for him.She no longer felt anything for Hayden after meeting Liam.Their unpleasant encounter at her father's birthday celebration caused Callie to harbor resentment toward Liam.

    Liam swallowed as he took a look at the handful of coins he was holding. He concluded after counting them, "We still have forty dollars left."He made an effort to hide his surprise. He had no idea how Gwyneth managed it.Gwyneth said with a proud expression, "Well, if we had more time, we could have saved more."She had not gone to the market to buy groceries in years.

    Elizabeth used to bake treats to woo Liam when they were together. She had learned how to make simple desserts by watching a few tutorials. Whenever she gave them to Liam, she never got much of a response from him after he tasted them.There was no way to bluff her way through when she had to bake desserts for a television show. It would be humiliating for something simple to taste bad.She gritted her teeth and cast a sidelong glance at Gwyneth, who was cooking by the side. She said, "Ms. Glen…"Her voice caught Gwyneth off guard because it was unexpectedly gentle. A chill went down her spine as she quickly turned to look at Elizabeth. She asked, "What is it?""Baking is my weakness, and I know you are a talented cook. Would you teach me a few tricks, please?"Gwyneth almost burst out laughing in response to the subtle request. Elizabeth had to keep her reputation intact in front of the cameras. The audience was in the dark. They would have assumed Elizabeth was a skilled cook.

    This declaration stupefied all five of them, and Gwyneth was no different. She most likely had the most money left out of all of them, but it was not enough for three days.Immediately, Callie jumped out of her chair. The situation was so tense that Callie had forgotten that the cameras were still rolling. She glared at the director and involuntarily raised her voice, "100 dollars for three days? For two people on top of that! How is that possible? No way! This is too much for me! I quit!"The director and the crew both stood up from their seats as soon as she blurted this out. Their faces turned pale due to fright.Elizabeth was seated next to Callie. She promptly stopped her, saying, "Cece, we've already started filming the show. What would the audience think of you if you quit now?"Callie bowed her head and looked at Elizabeth. She was still displaying an indignant look.Elizabeth reminded her, "Plus, would you feel comfortable leaving Liam alone with Gwyneth? Who knows

    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.
