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
Craig's sudden change in demeanor left Elizabeth ill at ease.Come to think of it, the only reason she could flex on Gwyneth a little recently was because of Craig's influence.If she lost him, she would really have nothing.With that in mind, she bit her lip and stormed off grumpily.Left alone by himself, Craig waited a moment to finish his coffee before leaving too.Gwyneth's spy quietly left as well before sending Gwyneth the footage after further processing.The imaging was sharper than the voice, but it was no issue for a hacker like Gwyneth. Liam sat with her as she magnified the video, his lips parted for a moment before closing them.He somehow felt blind and profoundly powerless for the first time—while he sat there idling, his wife was busy as a bee.How the hell did this happen?!Still, he did not get to dwell on the issue—Gwyneth was already tugging on his sleeve, having adjusted the video's pixel and audio quality to perfect clarity. As they watched it togeth
In reality, Gwyneth had a tank top underneath her loose patient gown—it had to be cropped because of her broken ribs.However, that was enough to leave Liam restless, since he never expected his wife to openly loosen her sash!He just wanted to tease her a little, only for her to turn the tables!He turned around by instinct to make sure no one was passing by before turning back to her again.It was no exaggeration that Liam would have his bodyguards arrest anyone to pass by and have them interrogated to have peace of mind."K-Keep your clothes on," he told her.Gwyneth felt a lot less annoyed to see him reacting awkwardly but kept her fingers on her clothes as she giggled, "You wanted to change my bandages, don't you? How are you going to do that if I don't get undressed?"It sounded ambiguous, but to Liam, she was really baring her skin! Even if it felt like she was wearing a sports bra, he could not stand it even if everyone else found it socially acceptable!Moreover, as he
Liam was calling a friend from Utrela—Luther Corp had no foothold over there, but he did, and pulling strings was a simple matter.Clearly, his friend was puzzled to receive his call, though he turned silent when Liam mentioned Craig's name."Mr. Baker does have a business establishment here… but what's the connection here?"Liam had no intention of explaining, though he did not know where to start either. "He's after my woman," Liam simply said.His friend laughed at that—that transgression alone would earn Craig a dozen deaths alone!"So? What are you going to do, Liam?""Actually, I just received information that he has been taking up loans and defaulting.""Got it."Liam smiled at the simple reply—it was really efficient talking to those who understood how this worked. He did not have to waste his breath!"I'll send you the details later. Just go door-to-door.""Of course."With that, Liam hung up and turned his chair to look at the glass wall.It had been days, but h
Wesley scowled at Gwyneth's words. "Are you serious, boss? Mr. Luther told me to take good care of you, and—""Is he your boss or is it me?"Wesley sweated bullets despite knowing that Gwyneth was joking. Still, she waved him off just as he was about to argue his case. "Don't worry—I spoke to my doctor this morning. He told me I'm recovering well, so I can get discharged as things are."As Wesley helped her out of the hospital, however, he could only pray that she was really allowed to get discharged.However, they found the hospital seriously congested as they stepped outside.Gwyneth thought immediately that a patient was being rushed to the hospital and quickly cleared a path. However, a familiar voice called out just as she turned, leaving her frowning."Gwyneth!"It was Judy, leading a group of people holding cameras and microphones—all obviously journalists."Oh, I'm so happy to see you getting discharged! I've been waiting to see you. Please forgive me!"Her tone actu
Judy was left freezing up, at a loss as Gwyneth turned the tables.Ever since she returned, Judy would always be left silent without any chance of winning—just like this occasion, where she was left completely overwhelmed. In reality, she was ready for Gwyneth to snap at her, having prepared countermeasures for that, but not this!Fortunately, she managed to keep her act going. Once she came to her senses, she frowned and started a second act. However, Gwyneth had already pulled sentiment to her favor, and the journalists around her were not buying it. Judy failed to notice that, and kept going on with her monologue, crying and screaming more miserable than before, "Don't you know that Dad is worried because you're being cold? He even got sick!"Gwyneth had to clasp a hand over her mouth and would have burst out laughing if her restraint was lacking.Judy was certainly going all out, not shying from cursing her father to win sympathy!As Gwyneth did not react, Judy clenched he
The question startled everyone, so they all turned to find out who had just spoken. The journalist stopped talking, and no one was willing to admit it.This situation baffled everyone.Gwyneth identified the journalist who had asked the question. She chuckled to herself and thought, 'Well, It looks like some of the journalists here can think and see things clearly.'She continued to look at Judy with a dejected expression. No one would have doubted that she was portraying a dutiful daughter if her expression had been shown on the screen."If that's the case, Mr. Glen must be struggling. Despite his physical state, his will to live is strong. It must be tough," she remarked.At this point, any thoughtful person should be able to understand what was going on.Many of the journalists began to change their opinions of Judy. Their initial compassion had given way to disgust. Despite the fact that this story was sensational and newsworthy, they did not appreciate Judy treating them lik
