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
The look on Liam's face sent Gwyneth flinching and hurting her a little when she did not feel any pain at first. However, the man looked so delighted anyone would think that there was something worth celebrating."You're awake. How are you feeling?" he asked."C-Could you not look at me like that, Mr. Luther?" Gwyneth asked in turn—she was supposed to be the one hurt here.In fact, it felt like Liam had a few screws loose in his head…That was when ShadowCipher entered, exclaiming, "Oh, you're up, master! How are you feeling? Does it hurt anyway?"His sudden appearance left Gwyneth blinking. What on earth happened while she was sedated?!"I need to get some stuff. You guys talk for now," Liam said, shooting ShadowCipher a look before leaving.It was just the two of them left soon enough, and after a brief moment of silence, ShadowCipher told her everything."You told him?!" Gwyneth exclaimed, moving in agitation and scowling as she aggravated her injury."I'm sorry, master.
Though the injuries Gwyneth sustained from the car accident were not major, her legs were still incapacitated—something she completely forgot when she sprang to her feet.As she immediately teetered and started to fall, Liam reacted quickly and caught her.By sheer coincidence, the door opened just then, and Hayden strode in.He was in a recording session when he found out about Gwyneth's accident. At that very moment, he did not hesitate to take off his headphones, pick up his jacket, and rush straight to the hospital.While he was happy to see that Gwyneth was fine, it stung to see her being so close to Liam.Liam was not surprised with Hayden's intrusion, however. In fact, he rolled his eyes at Hayden before gently helping Gwyneth back to bed.He was being so delicate with her, as if he was afraid of hurting her.At the same time, Hayden was left standing there and feeling for an instant that he was being the third wheel. Gritting his teeth, he strode up and shoved Liam. "S
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
