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
Gwyneth kicked him hard, but despite her might, she was unable to knock Liam to the ground. Besides that, she was hesitant to do it, and her strength had not recovered after a long night.Actually, Liam had done it on purpose. He rolled off the bed to amuse his irate wife.The consummation of their marriage had happened abruptly. Liam felt uneasy and sorry for Gwyneth. If he had ignored the fact that she was drugged, he would have done it to save her life instead of taking advantage of her. Although this was the case in theory, there was a knot in his heart because of how much he loved and cared for her.He purposefully posed that query to put everything on the table and resolve the conflicts in their hearts.He was surprised that Gwyneth showed signs of distress when he fell off the bed. He felt as though he was willing to do anything for her when he saw that.He went downstairs after that and brought her another bowl of broth. He spoon-fed her and let her sleep afterward
Craig heaved a sigh of relief secretly when Liam did not kick him out of the house. In other words, they had accepted him.He believed that he had done a good job of hiding his anxiety, but he had no idea that Liam and Gwyneth were aware of everything.Liam asked, "Mr. Baker, how did you meet my mother-in-law?"Craig's eyes gleamed briefly when he heard Liam refer to Gwyneth's mother in that manner, but it quickly vanished.He clasped his hands together and rested his elbows on his knees. He was hesitant to answer and lost himself in his memories. He said, "Actually, the two of us should meet again since I'm your relative."Gwyneth sat quietly, but her heart was in turmoil when she saw Craig's somewhat worried expression.She knew that this man might try to pull another scam and make up the whole story, but when it was about her mother, she found it difficult to remain calm.Craig dipped his head. There was a sly light that glimmered in his eyes. He had thought of many thing
The look in Liam's eyes flickered when he heard this. He chuckled softly as he caught Gwyneth's haughty expression.He thought to himself, 'She's right. This girl managed to fool me. How could she fall for Craig's tricks?'Gwyneth called Craig after verifying all the information in her possession.The conversation was brief. She merely informed him that she had decided to accept his compensation.Craig was surprised that she had responded so swiftly and firmly. He was incredibly pleased with his scheme, but he had no idea that Gwyneth and Liam had him by the throat.Following that, Gwyneth called Wanda and gave her an order, "Keep a close eye on Craig's company stock. If he's selling it, buy it all."Wanda asked, "Do you want to reveal your identity?"She had worked with Gwyneth for a very long time, and she always carried out her tasks without asking questions."The only thing you need to be on the lookout for is this. You have to keep your identity and source a secret."Gw
Elizabeth missed her mark. She was so drunk that she staggered unsteadily.Liam stood motionless. She had played this trick on him countless times before.She eventually sat back down on the couch. Her sobs caused her voice to become raspy and choked. She said, "Liam, I know you don't believe me, but I'm just exhausted and don't want to fight anymore."Her reaction and words caught Liam off guard.He had seen far too many people with malicious intentions, but very few truly repented. She did not give this much thought as she fell asleep on the sofa.Liam noticed the flash of emotions in her eyes. Strangely enough, her sorrow was real.Without much hesitation, he left the villa and instructed Larry to look into the things she had just mentioned.When Liam returned to the villa, he received a call from Larry.Larry reported, "Boss, Craig's company's financial issues are precisely as Ms. Lisle described. It's on the verge of bankruptcy."When Liam learned this, he did not fee
Since they could receive a payout quickly, the shareholders had no objections to the company declaring bankruptcy.At the meeting, she had suddenly arrived and declared that she wanted to be a fool and take over the business. This proposal benefited them in every way. Their company shares were useless anyway. It was great news that someone offered to acquire them.Although everyone secretly accepted this proposal, they continued to display hesitation.Wanda was not in a hurry. Instead of rushing them, she stood back and watched them put on an act.Unaware of what was happening, Craig had a somber expression on his face.After a while, the discussion in the conference room came to an end.One of the shareholders asked as he turned to face Wanda, "All right, it's settled then. What if you're lying to us? When will we sign the acquisition contract?"Ultimately, their own interests were what truly mattered. Wanda was able to see through these tactics after working with Gwyneth for
Then Gwyneth and Wanda immediately left.Craig was not allowed to speak for himself. He was compelled to stay in the room and deal with the attorneys.Gwyneth heard numerous quick footsteps coming up from behind her as she waited for the elevator. She knew who was running toward her without turning around."Ms. Glen!""Ms. Glen, please wait!"They were shareholders who had just gone back on their word in the conference room.Gwyneth had a small grin on her face, and Wanda struggled to hold back her laughter.Gwyneth turned around to look at them and asked, "What can I do for you? You don't need to worry if it's about the share transaction."Most of the company directors were older, typically over fifty. They had been through ups and downs in their lives.Even so, their blood pressure readings almost rushed up to 200 at this time. Their complexions looked awful. They shook their heads firmly in response to Gwyneth's words.One of them argued, "Ms. Glen, don't be angry with us.
Gwyneth was not surprised when she learned that Craig had skipped town. On the contrary, it would be unusual for him to attend court obediently.She was about to leave the office when she hung up the call with her attorney.She was stunned when she heard a knock on the door.The door was pushed open before she had time to react.Elizabeth walked in. The expression on her face was one of calmness, asking, "Gwyneth, you still refuse to forgive me, do you?"Gwyneth had nearly changed her mind about Elizabeth when she suddenly turned against Craig, but this act of kindness was insufficient to win back her trust.Even though the evidence was genuine, Craig had fled, and there was no news of him. She was a little skeptical about her intentions just based on this one point.She did not say anything, but Elizabeth understood what she meant. Elizabeth grinned bitterly and said, "I never really expected you to forgive me. I know I have done a lot of terrible things to you."The two loo
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
