Perhaps she was feeling resentful or filled with other conflicting emotions, but Elizabeth steadied herself and stated softly, "Gwyneth, you brought this upon yourself. Don't worry. I'll bring your father back and take away your position."Elizabeth said this as she turned on her heels and left. She left in such a hurry that it looked like she was fleeing from the scene."Boss, are you okay? Do you want me to look into that person?"Wesley had seen everything from the side. He had held back for a long time and finally spoke out. His expression looked gloomier than Gwyneth's. He had worked with her for years, and this was the first time he had witnessed someone with the audacity to confront Gwyneth in that manner.When Gwyneth heard this, she turned around and gave Wesley a quick glance. She laughed softly and said, "It's okay, she can't hold back for very long. She'll slip in a few days."The two talked as they made their way to the office.When they reached the office, the
Gwyneth gripped her phone tightly, as if her confidence was suddenly shaken. She genuinely hated the feeling of being in the dark, or, more accurately, the feeling of being manipulated by others.She asked, "Who are you?""I told you, there are a few things I need to explain to you. I'll be waiting for you across the bus station at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.""If you don't identify yourself, I probably won't…"A reorder tone was heard from the phone before Gwyneth could finish. Irritated, she involuntarily clenched her teeth.When Liam noticed the abrupt shift in her expression, he felt a little worried. He asked as he inched closer, "What happened? What's wrong?"Gwyneth cast a glance at Liam and breathed a sigh of relief. She said softly, "That man claimed that he was my mother's relative. He wants to talk to me about something.""Are you sure he's lying?"Liam gave her another cup of tea to put Gwyneth at ease."Positive. Except for an uncle, no one from my mother's fam
Gwyneth was unsure of how to react to Liam's unexpected action. She had initially intended to say something serious, but she later changed her mind and decided to make a joke, then say something in a playful manner. She finally made the decision to give in, sighed softly, and nodded.Liam saw this, and he looked intently at Gwyneth. His gaze lingered on her face for a while before he turned around and walked away.The following morning, Liam had already left for work when Gwyneth was getting ready to leave the house. At this point, he had usually just finished breakfast, but today was different. He obviously did not want to let her go alone, but he was at a loss for what to do.She remembered how sullen he seemed last night at dinner. She shook her head with a smile. He changed dramatically in terms of temperament and temper after spending a lot of time with her.She glanced at her wrist to check the time and left the house without any hesitation. Immediately after, she saw t
When Gwyneth thought about the situation, she decided that the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" was not the best metaphor to use.Craig had no idea that she had looked into Elizabeth. However, it made no difference because it made things more interesting as they progressed.With that thought in mind, Gwyneth straightened her back slightly.Craig interpreted her actions as if she were taking him seriously."Now that we've come to this, Mr. Baker, how can I be sure you're telling the truth?"And sure enough, a smile started to spread across Craig's face. He pulled out a photo from a folder and asked, "Does this count as proof?"Gwyneth took the photo. Her heart softened when she saw the person in the photo. It was a photo of her mother, with Craig standing next to her.Craig was a businessman from Utrela. He had decided to come back to Cloustan because the market there offered many advantages over those in other nations. He was being completely honest about his backgrou
Gwyneth almost split her sides when she saw Craig's serious demeanor. She questioned why people could become so absorbed in their own self-directed drama. However, considering that she had agreed to play the part, it would be a pity if she quit midway through.She quickly got to her feet, picked up her coat, and wore an expression of impatience. She asked, "Where are they? Take me to them!"Craig grinned even wider, quickly rose, and followed her.When the two walked out side by side, Gwyneth dodged right away when she felt Craig reaching out to grab her arm.Once they left the cafe, they got into a car. After about five minutes, the car came to a stop in front of a teahouse.Craig took the lead, and Gwyneth trailed behind him with her hands in her pockets. She appeared irritable.When they arrived at a private room, the door was ajar. Obviously, the door had been left ajar so they could see what was happening inside.Liam was aware of this. He knew that there had to be some
Liam felt his heart skip a beat when Gwyneth said this, even though he knew it was an act.He felt extremely uncomfortable with the situation, and he wondered what it would be like if such an act were actually happening.Gwyneth gave him a thoughtful look before turning around and leaving. She had had enough of Elizabeth. She worried that she might not be able to control the urge to go up there and grab her.She was not aware that Liam had displayed the best self-control to remain in the room. God knows how desperately he wanted to get rid of Elizabeth and follow Gwyneth out of there.Craig was hiding outside the room. He turned around when he saw Gwyneth leaving furiously and caught up with her right away. He had forgotten that Elizabeth was his partner.He questioned, "You believe me now, right?"Gwyneth frowned when she saw Craig show up beside her all of a sudden. She kept her mouth shut and resisted her disgust toward him. This man persistently bugged her. Clearly, he wanted
Liam felt his head go blank in an instant and had to hold on to his desk to keep standing.Startled by his reaction, Elizabeth started to reach out to him, only for him to slap her hand off. Flustered and furious, she screamed as if issuing an ultimatum, "I don't have the time to wait for you, Liam! Give me an answer, even if you don't mean it!"However, she was left staring blankly as Liam took a moment to calm down, picked up his jacket, and strode outside.She quickly gave chase while shrieking, "What are you doing?! Do you think you can leave without a word?! No way!"Although Liam's shirt was already drenched with sweat in the minute since he got the call, he did not have the patience for Elizabeth's crap. His eyes turned red right then, while his face contorted with beastly savagery."I'm warning you, Elizabeth…" he growled. "Watch yourself. Test me again, and you'll realize you're way out of your depth."Elizabeth was left unable to speak by his glare, and even her breat
Larry was stunned as he watched Liam's reaction.He had never seen Liam so agitated and was left in a dilemma if he should reason with Liam.Thankfully, a doctor entered just then, puzzled to find two men in the ward. "I'm sorry, but who are you…?""I'm her husband," Liam replied right then.Come to think of it, this was the first time he had introduced himself as such, and it certainly hurt him.Still, the doctor nodded, picked up Gwyneth's patient file, and explained, "Ms. Glen has not sustained any serious injuries, but we've found fractured bones and soft tissue contusions. As such—""What?" Liam wheeled on the doctor, glaring viciously at the other man before he could finish. "Fractures and contusions?!"Still, Liam's sanity seemed to be gradually returning just then, and it soon dawned on him. "You mean she's fine? Then why are her eyes closed?"The doctor certainly understood what he meant, considering what Liam said, the glare Liam was shooting his way, and his pained l
