"You'll keep your shop open for the time being, right?" Gwyneth questioned.She quickly dashed to the bar after getting confirmation from the old craftsman.After her previous visit to a bar, Liam was traumatized. The look in his eyes darkened. He could not let his guard down with her.They discovered that it was a sober bar when they walked in. It was lunchtime, and there were not many people coming in for a coffee or snack.Gwyneth called a waiter and found the bar owner in a quiet corner. She introduced herself by saying, "Hello, we're filming a show and need to work to make some money. Do you need a singer?"Hearing this, the bar owner glanced at Gwyneth and Liam. He slowly stood up."I think I can attract some customers for you by singing. Just an hour will do. You have nothing to lose, right?" Gwyneth said, sensing the bar owner's skepticism.Gwyneth's voice was clear and bright. In stark contrast to the coquettish young girl's, her voice was pleasant to the ears. Th
How could the bar owner turn her down? It was exactly what he had hoped for.After shaking hands with the bar owner, Gwyneth and Liam left and walked back to the hotel. They went back to their room, showered, and took a nap.Although it appeared simple on the surface, they later discovered that it was difficult to film for a show.The room had quieted down and each was dozing off in their own beds. After a while, Gwyneth abruptly spoke because she was aware that Liam was awake. She praised him, saying, "I had no idea you could sing that well. That was a pleasant surprise.""Really?" Liam replied, "But the thing that surprised me the most is that you enjoy my singing."His voice was raspier than usual because he was lying down. Coupled with his sweet words, it added to his statement's impact on Gwyneth.Gwyneth’s cheeks felt warm. She rolled over awkwardly and closed her eyes. Unknown to her, Liam also rolled over and watched her from behind. His gaze was incredibly gentle.The
Elizabeth was in high spirits when she heard the announcement. She believed that her chance had finally arrived. She happened to be standing right next to Liam. She acted coy and asked reluctantly, "Liam, may I join your team? I can't complete the mission on my own."Liam pretended he had not heard her. He did not even bat his eyes.The production crew was observing them across the room. Elizabeth's face was red from embarrassment. She tried to say something to defend her reputation and murmured, "Well, there are only two teams. I don't feel like I should join any teams."Callie overheard Elizabeth's request to join Liam's team. She was disgusted with Elizabeth.She cursed silently, 'What on earth is she doing? Is she trying to use us as her backup plan? Why didn't that woman treat us better earlier?'As expected, Elizabeth pretended to be powerless and hinted that she was doing this for the greater good. She placed the blame on the director because there was no way for her to
Callie was walking by when Elizabeth said that. She scoffed at her sarcastic remarks when she recalled what Elizabeth had done earlier during the team selection.Callie ridiculed, "Still not over the sour grapes, Ms. Lisle?""You!"Elizabeth was stunned by this sudden attack and did not react in time. She wanted to say something, but Callie had walked away. Everyone was busy climbing the mountain.Everyone realized things were much more complicated than they had imagined as the sky gradually grew darker.The production team had selected a mountain that was longer than it was steep. They started climbing around noon, but they had not yet reached the halfway point.While the host was speaking to the camera, the crew started handing out the tents to the guests."You'll spend the night on the mountain to test your survival skills. We will set up camp here, and we have prepared these tents for all of you to sleep in tonight."Elizabeth and Callie shared the same thought upon hearing
Gwyneth won over the entire production team after three days of interactions. This woman seemed to be able to handle any challenge that came her way. Nothing seemed to stump her.She chuckled lightly when she heard the compliment. Her thoughts immediately went back to Liam carrying her up the mountain during the day. She pursed her lips and was somewhat moved.After the pasta was ready, Gwyneth quickly made a few more dishes. She could not get too picky because the ingredients were so simple. After finishing, she was showered with compliments.Everyone was quite exhausted after spending the entire afternoon mountain climbing, so they all went to bed early.Since Liam was aware of Gwyneth's temperament, he had purposefully reserved a space for her at the tent's edge. Naturally, he occupied the spot on the other side. Gwyneth did not express any objections. What more could she ask for when everyone was living together and compromising? Moreover, Liam would be her first choice if
Gwyneth secretly felt that way, but she still had a proud look on her face. She walked past Liam when she exited the restroom because of this. She even pretended she had not noticed him.But Liam was used to her temperament. He grinned and followed her.They had walked quite a distance from the campsite at this point. Weeds were thickly populating the area. The daytime scenery was lovely, but it became eerie at night.Liam trailed behind Gwyneth for about a minute before noticing she had stopped walking. He walked up to her quickly, perplexed. When he noticed Gwyneth's expression, he was shocked. He asked, "What's wrong?""Did you hear anything?" Gwyneth asked gently as she knitted her brows and scanned their surroundings.That query gave Liam the chills. It was not fear but an instinctual response to the unknown. As Liam was about to probe, a howl suddenly erupted beside his ears. Two or three more howls soon followed. It was not loud, but it was incredibly clear."Have we enc
Elizabeth was basically saying that Gwyneth did this on purpose to gain sympathy.Gwyneth had only recently recovered from the fall's sense of weightlessness. She took Liam's hand, sat up slowly, and adjusted her posture. She shot a question, "Ms. Lisle, you claim to have seen everything. Tell me, from which direction did the rock come?"Gwyneth's ability to calmly assess the situation astounded Elizabeth. She pretended to be scared at the beginning, but now she was actually terrified.Elizabeth argued, "Ms. Glen, I was right beside you when we climbed. I don’t think I had the energy to worry about the rock, did I?"Callie smiled as she stood to the side. She crossed her arms and watched the drama. In her opinion, it was good news as long as Gwyneth was hurt.Hayden, meanwhile, fixated his gaze on the tightly clasped hands of Gwyneth and Liam. He even pressed his lips tightly.Elizabeth feared that Gwyneth would not believe her. She continued with her act desperately, "Despite ev
Gwyneth experienced both physical and mental discomfort after they left the set. She then let everyone know that she was returning to the villa.Liam went to the office in the meantime.Once he arrived at the office, Larry immediately presented the drafted contract and asked, "Mr. Luther, should we mediate this matter in private first? If we choose to hold her responsible, then Ms. Lisle…"Larry stopped midway because he sensed Liam's cold gaze. He gave a light cough and sheepishly stopped talking.He did not think highly of Elizabeth either, but she had been with his boss for a long time. If there were any consequences, it would be a bad idea to cause more trouble, especially after she joined the entertainment industry.Her status and position meant absolutely nothing to Liam. She deserved to meet her doom if the cameraman's account of the events was accurate. Liam felt his blood turn cold when he thought about the possibility that Gwyneth could have fallen, been hurt, or suf
