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
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
