Gwyneth thought of something. She struggled to muster the courage to express her thoughts as Hayden's expectant eyes met hers."What's wrong?"Due to his affection for her, Hayden knew her far too well. He managed to capture the expression that flashed across her face in a matter of seconds.She revealed, "This is the bracelet that I lost years ago.""What? How's that possible? Weren't you the one that gave it to me?""Remember that time when I told you about my roommate stealing my things? This is the bracelet that went missing."Hayden asked, "So, this bracelet was stolen by your roommate. You didn't give it to me?"She had to explain the truth, even though it was not easy to say aloud. Otherwise, she would be lying to herself.She was deeply depressed as she observed Hayden's expression, which was becoming increasingly gloomy. She clenched her fists and forced herself to remain silent.After some time, Hayden suddenly got to his feet. He looked desolate and did not give G
Everyone was unprepared for Hayden's announcement. He had taken both the authorities and the internet by surprise. Whether it was due to coping mechanisms or the fact that things had finally calmed down, Gwyneth got to enjoy a few days of peace. She had never actively searched for trouble, but that did not mean that trouble would not find her.Everything in this world followed a pattern, and common sense could not be used to see future problems. Moreover, the people she dealt with had peculiar thought processes. A few days later in her office, she received a call from Elizabeth. Elizabeth pretended to be submissive over the phone. She greeted, "Ms. Glen, it's been a while."Gwyneth snorted, "If possible, I wish you would stop contacting me, but I doubt that's going to happen."Her gaze shifted to her computer screen. She smirked as she looked at the blinking red spot in the pop-up window.Elizabeth was aware of the sarcasm in Gwyneth's responses. Her expression turned c
At this point in the conversation, both of them fell silent over the phone.Craig was waiting for Gwyneth's response.During this, Gwyneth was contemplating other matters in her heart.'Why does he sound so confident? Did he acquire some kind of information or leverage? His assurances are empty talk, but I have to admit his words pique my interest.'She recalled Elizabeth's threat and found it rather amusing.Elizabeth was easy for her to see through. That woman just could not keep her cool when talking or doing things.She had confirmed something. Craig was involved in the matter concerning Glen Corporation. Otherwise, he would not have gone to great lengths to make Elizabeth a shareholder.She tapped on the armrest gently and weighed her options. After a while, she said, "Well then, I really appreciate your help in solving my worries, Mr. Baker."Craig let out a sigh of relief. He seized the opportunity to strike when it presented itself. He asked, "Wouldn't it be more ap
Gwyneth squinted her eyes as she observed Craig's evasive expression. She tried to get to the bottom of the truth. She asked, "What's wrong? You can't answer my question? Then how can I trust you?"'How is Craig going to fight me in the future if he can't think of an excuse or topic?'They both stopped talking.The waiter served them coffee, and they each sipped their drinks quietly.Gwyneth was about to start talking again when her phone rang, breaking the awkward silence. She pulled the phone out of her pocket and saw that the caller was Liam. It seemed odd to her. After all, they hardly ever spoke to one another while at work.When she answered the call, Liam's worried voice could be heard on the other end. He warned her with a commanding tone, "Gwyneth! Get out of there now!""What? You…"His warning caused Gwyneth's head to buzz. Liam interrupted before she could respond, "You're meeting Craig, right? It's a trap! Elizabeth is going to make a move on you!"She tightened
Elizabeth watched as Gwyneth was being taken away, and a broad smile broke out on her face. It was gratifying for her. The feeling was similar to that of someone who had ongoing insomnia having a good night's sleep.The door suddenly swung open again as she was basking in her victory.The loud noise startled Elizabeth. She turned around instinctively, and as soon as she saw him, she became pale.She murmured, "Liam…"She thought of the devil as she turned to look at Liam. His icy gaze and bloodshot eyes seemed to imply that he might kill her if she let her guard down."I'll only ask you once. Where is she?" Liam asked with a voice devoid of emotion. Every word he spoke seemed to be tainted with blood."I have no idea what you're talking about."She had seen many sides of Liam. Even his most terrifying side had been revealed to her. She understood what an awful mistake she had made at this point.The distance between them was less than a meter.Elizabeth had a feeling that she
Liam was holding Gwyneth in his arms. He offered her silent solace by resting his chin against hers. He was ready to leave.Craig slowly rose from the ground, and half of his face was swollen. He said, "Mr. Luther, we finally get to meet each other."So close to fulfilling his goal, he was unwilling to give up. He pulled out his phone and pretended to call for backup.Liam sneered when he saw this. He felt like he was dealing with a clown. He would have sent him to the hospital if Gwyneth had not been in his arms."Hmm…" Gwyneth suddenly moaned in his arms, and her cheeks turned an unnatural shade of red.Liam was deeply worried about her and lost interest in dealing with Craig. He warned, "Get lost if you don't want your creditors to shut down your business in Utrela."Liam did not cast as much as a glance at Craig's surprised expression. He strode away and took Gwyneth out of the hotel.Larry stepped on the gas as soon as they got into the car. He comforted Liam, say
This sudden reprimand astounded Liam.He could not help but smirk when he saw the redness on her cheeks and the marks on her shoulders. He said, "It appears that my wife has recovered. I can relax now."The moment those words were spoken, a pillow flew straight in his direction.Liam swiftly sidestepped to dodge the attack. His grin grew wider. He knew far too well that if Gwyneth remained silent, it meant that she was mad. Her reaction suggested that she was embarrassed.He was worried about her, even though he was secretly laughing. The effects of the drug had severely depleted her physical stamina.He made the decision to put aside her short-lived irritation and fed her instead. If she was unwell, he would end up feeling more distressed for her, would he not?With this in mind, Liam bent down to pick up the pillow. He repositioned it on Gwyneth's lower back and picked up the bowl. He said, "Wifey, you need to eat. We can discuss the rest later.""What? I don't feel like eat
Gwyneth abruptly yelled at Liam, causing his hands to tremble. She looked awfully scary when she was mad. She would take the lead in their future relationship.Fortunately, Liam reacted quickly and stood up when he saw Gwyneth about to grab the broth.Gwyneth missed and landed face-down on the mattress. When she did that, her smooth back was exposed to the air. The red marks on her fair skin proved how passionate they had been last night.Liam's expression grew more menacing. He found her irresistible when he saw this.Gwyneth felt the cold air on her back. She realized it was inappropriate and sat up on the bed.She grabbed a shirt from the bedside table and put it on. After she got dressed, she realized it was Liam's shirt. Once again, her thoughts were in a mess, but at least she was dressed.She had no idea that she appeared more seductive to Liam's eyes.Besides this, he still worried that his wife was going hungry.He recalled how light she had been the day before w
