Seeing that Liam was frowning, Gwyneth's lips parted, but she could not say anything.

It was certainly a loaded question—where else would she go after they found their lead?

Still, Liam's tone made it clear he would stop her.

As the stalemate lasted between them, everyone else including Wesley lowered their heads and rubbed their noses awkwardly.

They certainly could not make the call and had to hope that their bosses would come to an agreement soon.

Fortunately, Gwyneth's shoulders slumped in seconds as she gave in.

She was not impulsive, and she knew enough to face facts despite her flaring rage.

And given current circumstances, she might not make it outside the hospital alone, let alone confront whoever made an attempt on her life.

Her lips twitched, but she withheld her words of frustration as Liam took her back to her ward.

"Keep an eye on her," he told her bodyguards before turning to leave, stopping at the door for a moment to level a look of longing at her.

    The sudden reversal and the aching in her body left Elizabeth's vision in a blur.It took her a long while to push herself up and turn around, only to find herself looking straight at Liam's icy glare.She gulped—for a moment, she thought she was looking into the eyes of some ferocious beast."Why—""What do you think you're doing?" Liam demanded icily before she could finish, his tone as cold as his gaze.Still in her bed, Gwyneth was actually stunned as well—she was too slow to dodge and was ready to take the hit.However, it never came, and she opened her eyes to find that familiar figure standing before her, stalwart like a mountain.As for Elizabeth, there was no way she could argue her way out of this after being caught red-handed. She was left clenching her knuckles as her words stayed stuck in her throat, and she eventually screamed, "Is this how you repay me, Liam? After I saved your life?!"She had used that excuse countless times, but it always worked. Even though

    Gwyneth's tone and expression made her appear as if she knew everything, and yet she remained detached like a bystander.Her eyes brightened even as she stared into Elizabeth's eyes for a while, while Elizabeth's face turned pale. All Elizabeth's smugness slowly faded, and she was suddenly afraid to look Gwyneth in the eye."What's wrong?" Gwyneth chuckled, raising a brow and feeling a flicker of catharsis. "Where did all your confidence go? Or perhaps you're doubting yourself too?"Gwyneth had certainly allowed Elizabeth to pass herself off as the one who saved Liam for too long. Now, it seemed, was time that Gwyneth rescinded that privilege."What are you talking about?!" Elizabeth snapped. However, she was feeling guilty and there was no way she could argue, not to mention that she was paranoid of Gwyneth realizing the truth. If that really happened, she would lose way more than she bargained for if she was exposed with Liam around!Still, it puzzled her that there was a rift

    As Gwyneth and Liam got ever closer to each other, they could feel each other's breaths on their cheeks.However, that was when Larry entered, and Gwyneth shoved Liam off in reflex the instant she heard the door open.Liam quickly rose to his feet in turn with an unnatural expression on his face, though his usual scowl soon returned.Gwyneth almost laughed at his reaction, though she had to hide her blushing cheeks with her blanket too.Larry was certainly sharp, as expected of any person Liam kept in his inner circle. Reading the room right then, he knew that he must have ruined something major. After some thought, he decided to say what he came to say since it was too late to run away, and he could just bail after he did.Otherwise, Liam might dock his entire annual bonus given the former's volatile temper.Mustering his composure, Larry cleared his throat and gingerly announced, "Mr. Luther, Mrs. Luther… There has been a development with the driver."Liam had been telling him

    Craig then finished, "Liam Luther was the real culprit who set up your accident."Gwyneth felt lucky right then, to have gone through so much that she was not surprised by Craig's outrageous lie. That said, he was truly bold to come up with something so ridiculous!Still, she played along. "Liam's trying to kill me? Oh, I couldn't have known! But why? There has to be a reason, right?"Craig was certainly beside himself with joy to hear that—the way he saw it, she had already taken his bait. It would be all's well that ends well once she was slowly lured into his trap."Of course there's a reason. He wants that project too," he said, his eyes twinkling while his voice a little shrill from the thrill. "As you know, the plot of land involved in this project was passed down by your maternal family to your grandmother, so you still hold ownership."Conflict of interest and reason to do harm, check.Gwyneth had to admit that Craig's logic was sound, and it even sounded well thought-out

    The police officer continued, "We would need to ask some questions since you're involved, Ms. Glen."Gwyneth nodded—she certainly would not protest since it was standard operating procedure.Still, it was some general questions: they asked her about the time, location, and the course of the incident, all of which Gwyneth answered truthfully."Thank you for your cooperation, Ms. Glen," the officer said when it was all done. "However, we may trouble you again if necessary.""Of course," Gwyneth said, and she nodded at the bodyguards to escort them out.Just as they left, Liam returned. "Were the cops here?""What happened?" Gwyneth asked, her silence basically a yes."The driver's suffering from manic episodes. He has attempted suicide multiple times since he was brought in the hospital.""And before that?"Liam shook his head.Gwyneth was left distressed just then—how far did the real culprits threaten him that he would go that far and repeatedly at that?!"Still," Liam sudde

    Liam's reaction actually gave Gwyneth the creeps.Still, in contrast to his usual cold aloofness, the way he fawned over her was actually pleasant. "Can you forgive me, darling? Pretty please?" he pressed just then."Fine, whatever. Just stop it already," she snorted—she just meant to pull a prank and ended up getting herself uncomfortable. Seeing her expression relaxing and a lot less angry, Liam heaved a sigh of relief. Evidently, acting cute was effective on occasion, just as it felt pleasant to see her torn between amusement and frustration.Nonetheless, Gwyneth's expression turned solemn after the playful feud, and Liam knew very well that she was deep in thought. There was a brief silence until Gwyneth raised her brow and asked in curiosity, "Do you think it's likely that your grandfather was acquainted with my mother's side of the family from the start?"It sounds weird putting it that way, but there were times when instincts would prove right.As Gwyneth looked up

    Liam was feeling his juices flowing again after being interrupted earlier. Gwyneth was once again sitting on her bed with nowhere to run.However, despite her interest, she was still traumatized by the sudden intrusion earlier.Still, just as she was about to dodge, a shadow shrouded her vision and she felt a warm touch on her lips."Umph…"She moaned softly from the sudden kiss while her head went blank, her scalp feeling like it had blown up just then. Her heart raced and she tried to pull away by instinct, though it was more due to confusion rather than disgust.She slowly opened her eyes to see the handsome face inches away and swung her palm by reflex.Smack!The hit was exceedingly sharp and loud in the quiet hospital ward. It was not a strong slap either, but it left Liam stunned. Even Gwyneth was stunned too, and she blinked even as her cheeks flushed. "I-I didn't mean—"She could swear that she did not mean to hurt him, but the sudden intimacy simply caught her flu

    Gwyneth realized with a start thanks to Liam's clear explanation—Elizabeth's intentions to invest in that land lot would only end up with her losing money.Obviously, someone swindled her, and the motive was clear as well. After all, with Elizabeth being one of Glen Corporation's board members at the moment, she would inevitably drag the rest of the company down with her because of her mess.Gritting her teeth at the thought, Gwyneth picked up her phone, ready to text Wesley… only for his text to arrive just as she reached it.[Boss, word from the boys—Elizabeth Lisle had a meeting with Craig Baker.][Stay on them. Don't miss anything.]In fact, Wesley had already sent two more men to tail them and gather further information before Gwyneth gave the order.Even so, Gwyneth was sneering when she got the footage of Elizabeth and Craig—they had chosen to meet at a luxury hotel's cafe without a care in the world.Were they that overconfident about their abilities, or did they simpl

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?

    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

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.
