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
Gwyneth blinked at the man before her, left a little dizzy by the sudden turn of events.She then turned to look in the box—the diamond on the ring was not that large, but the craftsmanship was clear. It was clearly an exclusive design, as even the pattern of the embedded diamond had not seen the market.However, Gwyneth had seen the velvet box before. Even if she only saw what was inside now, it was obvious to anyone what it contained.And despite knowing that Liam had a ring ready, she did not expect him to have prepared it for her.In fact, Gwyneth's opinion of Liam changed considerably after they re-signed their agreement—all it took to see a person's true colors was time, and she had plenty enough to tell that he was sincere.And at that very moment, her vision became clouded with tears—anyone would crumble when offered such genuine kindness, and she was no exception.Her fingers were shaking as she reached out on instinct for that sparkling diamond ring… only for a loud cra
