Although Leonard was drunk, he was still fully conscious. He looked puzzledly at the items in Gwyneth's hand. After he took a good look, he sobered up. He said, "Ms. Glen…""Mr. Rhodes, I've acquired Craig Baker's company, and I'll uphold the contract you previously signed with us."At first, he had assumed that Gwyneth was some spoiled rich girl. This discovery terrified him. He struggled to get up from the sofa and swallowed."This matter needs further consideration, don't you think?" He questioned."Of course."Her powerful aura astounded him. Leonard shifted his attention back and forth between Gwyneth and the contract.He said, "Alright, you have my word. We can renegotiate this."The nightclub was not a proper meeting place. Leonard worried that Gwyneth might leak this. Moreover, he was reluctant to stop interacting with her this quickly.That was exactly the response she was looking forward to receiving.She playfully raised her eyebrows at Skye.The eyes of her assi
Henry had excellent reflexes, or else he would have gotten food poisoning tonight. The moment the unidentified object touched his lips, he leaped from his chair and ran upstairs.As he was running, he recalled something and went straight to the study.The two had been friends for years. Henry knew his friend had a habit of storing good wine in this study.He found a bottle of red wine that had been recently opened on a small wine rack near the bookshelf. He knew it was a rare find, regardless of its origins or the year.He went downstairs, smirking, and filled everyone's glasses.Liam was not bothered by this. He felt glad when he saw Gwyneth chatting and laughing with her friends. She had not relaxed in a long time.In the end, all the dishes were taken away, and the chef cooked new ones for them.Everyone was very satisfied with the good food and accompaniment.During this meal, Gwyneth observed that Henry had been taking good care of Aubrey the whole time. The look in his ey
Gwyneth snorted coldly and beckoned her employees. Then she led the group into Leonard's office.They saw Violet yelling at Leonard while placing both hands on the desk.Leonard was bewildered. Regardless, he cared deeply for Violet. After she made a scene, he happened to look up and see Gwyneth standing at the door.He had developed special feelings for Gwyneth, but he had to defend Violet. Besides that, he was not particularly happy that Gwyneth had approached him earlier with an ulterior motive and threatened him at the nightclub.When he thought of this, he slammed the table hard and flew into a rage. He said angrily, "Ms. Glen! It appears that our cooperation is off the table now!""Oh?"Gwyneth was astounded that Leonard would decisively break off their cooperation. Judging from the situation, she had underestimated Violet's influence. However…"If you have made up your mind, I won't say anything, but I want to clarify something."Gwyneth took out two of her business ca
Elizabeth had vanished from public view ever since she gave her shares in Glen Corporation to Gwyneth. No one was aware of her whereabouts.Gwyneth was so busy that she had no interest in finding out Elizabeth's intentions.Gwyneth became increasingly certain of her earlier opinions the longer she was gone. All of her kind actions were probably facades. Elizabeth would approach her once more if that were the case.Her theories were in line with some aspects of the truth.However, Elizabeth did not approach Gwyneth for some time.She had contacted Judy under the guise of a man. The two had been in cahoots from the beginning, and as time went on, their relationship deepened.Elizabeth was the one who had orchestrated Gwyneth's stabbing at Glen Corporation's anniversary party.Judy remembered the code name her friend had left behind when she received a mysterious message. She connected the dots and knew that Elizabeth was reaching out to her.She hurriedly dressed up, grabbed her
Judy glared at Gaspard's horrifyingly pale face. She wanted to let all of her rage out.She yelled, "Dad! Gwyneth is walking over us now! How are you managing to stay calm? You're worrying too much, and that's why you've never really fought back!"When his daughter yelled at him, Gaspard grew increasingly uneasy.Judy had made up her mind, and she was determined to convince Gaspard. She roared, "Are you willing to give her control over us? Do you want to continue living your life in this manner?"His back, which had been upright, was gradually slumping.This was a clear indication of compromise. Judy was aware that her father had agreed.The next day, the father and daughter started to discuss their plan.At the same time, Gwyneth was attending a meeting at AMC Group's subsidiary.There were far too many problems in the company when Craig was running it. It would take Gwyneth a long time to deal with the aftermath properly after she took office.A loud bang could be heard in t
Liam stormed out of his office after hearing the news, putting everything else out of his mind. His heart was a mess, and he could not think properly.He had hardly ever asked Gwyneth about her upbringing. He did not see the need to ask. He would listen if she was willing to talk. It did not matter to him that she did not know because all he cared about was her.When he saw the news, Liam instinctively believed it to be true.He felt as though his heart had been shattered when he arrived at the company and saw her appearing angry and frail. He ignored everyone present and held her tightly in his arms. He comforted her, saying, "Wifey, I'm here. It's okay."Despite the fact that he was never good at expressing his emotions, those simple words had given Gwyneth comfort. It gradually brought her back to reality.His cold aura and familiar scent permeated Gwyneth's mind. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and broke away from his embrace.She turned around and glanced at the o
Sacha was clearly intimidated—given the barenaked threat, anyone in her shoes would be, as opposed to some unknown factor.She was trembling all over even as she took her phone from her pocket and opened the mail she received earlier. "Here it is—I don't know anything because the sender was anonymous. Could you let me go now?"Gwyneth, however, did not have time for anything else—she promptly committed the email address to mind and sent it to ShadowCipher right away. Within minutes, she was texted back a detailed address, with the additional note that it was a rented apartment—obviously a lodging. With a location in hand, Gwyneth put away her phone, but Liam stopped her just as she was about to leave her office. "I'm coming with you.""Worried that I'd let my emotions get the better of myself?" Gwyneth snorted, noticing his tense expression.She was clearly furious, but she was not the type who let feelings get the better of her.Liam was pursing his lips in silence—he clearly
The truth came out so quickly that the case against Gwyneth was overturned in under a day. Every netizen was dumbstruck by the unbridled spite they shared against each other, as well as Gwyneth's swiftness to action.Meanwhile, Elizabeth was sitting in a secure apartment and listening to the audio file uploaded online, her eyes narrowing as she snorted. "I knew I couldn't count on her," she growled, her cheek twitching savagely as she remembered how confidently Judy assured her lips were sealed. Still, Elizabeth giggled darkly. Fortunately for her, she had her own countermeasures in place since she knew Gwyneth. She had long since learned that Gwyneth was not to be trifled with after their numerous bouts!In fact, she already installed a camera outside Judy's apartment when the Glens made their announcement, and it was directly connected to her computer. She just had to look for the footage of the day before to clearly see Gwyneth and Wanda barging into Judy's apartment. There
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
