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
Within seconds, Liam's eyes were bright red and savage as his fingers tightened around his phone. "What the hell happened?!" he barked.Larry was standing nearby, having no idea what it was about, but having an idea who. After all, only Gwyneth could invoke such a huge reaction from Liam in a split second!As such, he announced, "Everyone, the meeting's over. You're dismissed."Everyone in the room glanced at each other before they soon started to leave.At the same time, Liam listened to Wanda, feeling like he was on the verge of an outburst.Once he hung up, his teeth were clenched as he turned toward Larry. "Cancel every meeting and appointment in the afternoon. Call our lawyers!"Having received his orders, Larry did not drag his feet and went straight to work.Hence, in just thirty minutes, Liam arrived with his lawyers at the precinct where Gwyneth was held. She was only kept in an interrogation room for questioning. While the rule was usually for the officers to keep
There was just enough light in the room for Elizabeth to see the look on Hayden's face, and she actually forgot to breathe when she did.After they worked together the last time, Hayden gave up right away and headed abroad, and they never saw each other ever since.He was just seconds away from killing her moments ago, and even now, he was staring down from on high. Those scarlet eyes and vicious presence caused her to shudder. She had to avert her eyes because she was too afraid to look him in the eye.Nonetheless, Hayden was long gone by the time she came to her senses. He left the door wide open, which was proof to her that it was not an illusion.… Hours later, the precinct where Elizabeth was held received an anonymous mail out of nowhere, containing nothing but a voice recorder.They turned it on to find that it was a conversation between two people, and thanks to previous records and investigations, the officers were able to identify that one of them was Judy. The oth
Judy had heard that Hayden was returning to the country and that Elizabeth was threatened.She really thought that Elizabeth was fully prepared on this occasion and there would be no issues, only for Gwyneth to turn out fine again!To make things worse, Elizabeth had confined herself, having been taken ill from sheer trauma!Even if Judy had no idea what was going on behind the scenes, she knew that she was next. Considering what she would face, she hid herself in the room, her cheeks completely pale.Gaspard entered just then and sighed softly when he saw her reaction. After all, how could he not know Gwyneth's depth by now? He had already protested against the plan, and things had to turn out like this.In the end, it was all dependent on luck. If they were lucky, Gwyneth's reputation would be thoroughly ruined, and if they were not, the consequences would be catastrophic.And now, it was too late to say anything, just as Gaspard could not bring himself to blame his own daughte
Elizabeth did a double take and soon noticed the amusement in Hayden and his female companions' eyes. It felt like a slap to the face, but if she did not win him over now, she would be helpless in her campaign against Gwyneth.With that in mind, Elizabeth closed her eyes and put away all her dignity, taking the glass from Hayden's hand and chugging it amid the cheers and jeers.However, when she put down the glass, Hayden caught her wrist and shoved her, knocking her to the couch.She did not protest despite the pain, even as he growled, "Why did you come to me?"Elizabeth frowned as she was being shrouded in alcoholic vapors right then and withstood the pain as she spoke, "Like I said, I'm proposing a partnership."Hayden's gaze turned distant for a few moments before he nodded in understanding. "Sure—if you spend the night with me."Hearing that, the ladies around him all shot Elizabeth looks of envy and jealous.Elizabeth was actually surprised, but she did not hesitate to
