Everything played out as expected, including Callie becoming involved the following day."Why should she be slapped? She acquired her status dubiously. Has she forgotten how she climbed through the social ranks?"Although Callie's remarks were ambiguous, everyone knew what they meant. She made comments about Gwyneth and Liam's relationship and hinted that Gwyneth was a mistress.Internet users had no proof, but when the course of events and their speculations were combined, it created a new drama.Despite the alliance marriage between Liam and Gwyneth, their strained relationship over the years, and the fact that they divorced after the specified time frame had passed, Gwyneth continued to live at Luther residence after their divorce and was plotting some scheme. All of these facts made the speculation appear convincing.Some people even dug up the story of Gwyneth and Liam's marriage. They claimed that Gwyneth had stolen the place of the original bride.Callie was unsure of what
These remarks caused Gwyneth's smile to vanish. She was aware that the board of directors did not give a damn about the company, nor did they acknowledge her as the CEO.Even so, there were advantages to this situation, one of which was that it gave her a good reason to kick these people out.The board member who had just made a comment about Gwyneth was a little taken aback—or even scared—by the abrupt change in her demeanor. His eyes briefly flickered, and he then quickly lowered them.'The timing is almost right.'Gwyneth gave the table a few light taps while evaluating the situation.Constant criticism rained on her online. Both the company's projects and stock prices were steadily declining. The shareholders were restless. The time for her to strike was almost right.Gwyneth paused as she thought about this. She stood up and declared, "I'll take your suggestions into consideration.""Really?"They were shocked to find Gwyneth becoming so friendly all of a sudden. They disp
Liam and Wanda almost could not contain their laughter when they heard this.'What the heck is this? Is this some sort of counterattack?'Liam concealed his smile with his hand. He was shocked to learn that his wife had a talent for acting.The journalists were looking at her in a new light now.In the entertainment industry, shooting from the hip is all too common. Gwyneth, however, was not involved in a scandal. Rather, it was something more serious. This incident was life-threatening and motivated by malice.The journalists had ceased speaking. They wanted some juicy details despite the situation having escalated to this point. After a brief silence, one of the journalists was unable to hold back his curiosity and inquired, "Ms. Glen, what is your relationship with Mr. Liam? Online rumors are circulating, and people don't like what they heard about you."Gwyneth arched her eyebrows just a little. The journalist who had posed that question was sensible.Everyone noticed th
Callie was indignant and perplexed by her father's agitation. She wondered, "Daddy, what happened? Why are you so agitated?"The father and daughter exchanged glances. After a while, Chad let out a solemn sigh and said, "This morning, just before the press conference, I received a few messages from the office saying that we'd lost several business deals."Callie had her full attention on the entertainment industry, but she also took her family business seriously. After all, she was the only child, and she was destined to take over the business.Her father's words made Callie's heart thump ferociously, and she asked, "Did Gwyneth do this?""It might not be her, but it definitely has something to do with her. No one else has the influence to achieve this in such a short time."Callie was filled with a mixture of hatred, anger, and undeniable jealousy. She gritted her teeth, and her eyes looked scarlet.Chad understood his daughter's thoughts and personality well. In truth, he cou
When Hayden saw that picture, he became enraged. He had watched the press conference in the morning and felt annoyed by Liam's interference.He was plotting the next step to deal with the situation at home when he got a message from Callie.He opened the message with a frown, only to freeze when he saw the picture.Hayden cast a quick glance at the glass on the table. He clenched his teeth, reached for it, and shattered it.He was struggling to keep his emotions under control as his eyes turned bloodshot. He called Callie right away and demanded, "You better give me a good explanation for this. What's going on?"Callie had one leg crossed over the other as she sat in the car and grinned mockingly. She would ensure that others suffered the same when she was upset.She said, "I just went to meet Gwyneth. But when I got out of the car, I was surprised to see that scene. Actually, this situation is not as difficult to accept as you might imagine, right? They've been living together f
"You…"Both Gwyneth and Liam were dumbstruck. Liam blinked his eyes, not daring to move a finger. He dared not to treat her disrespectfully because he loved and cared about her.The noise on the phone was audible to Hayden. He changed the call to video mode due to his uneasiness. He almost fainted when the image came in, and he wished he could go back and see it.He growled, "You!"His voice snapped Liam out of his trance and reminded him that someone was on the other end of the phone. He decisively hung up the phone without consulting Gwyneth. The noise was immediately silenced.They both exhaled a sigh of relief. It took Gwyneth a while to react and break away from Liam's arms. Her cheeks were extremely red."Liam! Close your eyes!"He immediately closed his eyes because he dared not to disobey. He struggled to control the grin that crept across his face.Gwyneth saw that, but what else could she do despite her resentment? She snatched a bathrobe from the wardrobe and put i
Inside the quiet police car, the phone suddenly rang. Elizabeth and the officers were both startled by the ringtone.Elizabeth had never been in a situation like this before. Her face turned white as a sheet as she stammered, "Can I…Can I answer the call?"The policeman sneered. This haughty woman was panicking now. She had the right to pick up the phone because she had not committed a serious crime.Elizabeth felt relieved when the policeman nodded at her. She was perplexed when she noticed that the incoming call was from a strange number."Ms. Lisle?"When she answered the call, she noticed that it was an unfamiliar voice."Yes, speaking."Elizabeth instinctively moved closer to the window after she said that and covered the phone with her hand.The mysterious man said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're in a police car and in a desperate situation."Elizabeth clenched her teeth and remained silent in response."Don't worry, you're safe. You're currently under investigation and
When she caught Hayden's obsessed gaze, Gwyneth sighed inwardly.Over the years, she had repeatedly told him that if he had listened to her, things would have turned out differently.As expected, his expression froze for a split second after she said this. He shrugged it off and said, "If one could simply decide to stop liking someone, there wouldn't be so many heartbroken people in this world."Gwyneth was rendered speechless.Indeed, affection is not something that can be changed by will. He wanted to forget about her, but it only made their memories together more vivid. Despite his best efforts to distance himself, those emotions still managed to sneak up on him.They were the only ones in the office, and it suddenly became eerily quiet. Shortly after, Hayden turned around and walked away, making it impossible for Gwyneth to look him in the eyes.This matter had not fully settled down, but there was a problem that arose at Glen Corporation."Boss…"Wesley pushed the door o
