Gwyneth chugged her glass, watching the two women before her before thinking about herself.She slowly smiled and giggled—it appeared that getting upset over relationship issues was inevitable no matter who it was.Meanwhile, the bottle of red wine was getting emptier, while their visions blurred and their speech turned unintelligible. They moved from the dining table to the drawing room carpet and were out like a light before they could open another bottle.To be precise, only Gwyneth and Aubrey were unconscious—Elizabeth still retained some extent of awareness.She opened her eyes to look around before smiling smugly. After all, it seemed that she was more successful with winning Gwyneth's trust than she thought.…The next morning, things were getting lively online while the three women were still asleep.The paparazzo who blackmailed Callie certainly did not flinch from Callie's goading and waited until peak internet traffic hours to post every photo he had of her at the
After Gwyneth acquired the company from Craig Baker, she only met the executives once when she took the post of CEO on the first day before delegating everything to Skye.This made it the second time she met them, and the vibes were certainly different considering her bearing.Nonetheless, everyone was staring at their shoes after Gwyneth asked her question, though not quite from guilt, since Gwyneth was just that menacing even without going ballistic.As none of them were meeting her eyes, Gwyneth's eyes flashed coldly since this reaction was expected.It seemed that she was in for a battle of attrition."Very well," she said. "If that's how everyone wants to do this, let's consider the possibilities one-by-one."She glanced at Skye, who nodded and presented the leaked blueprints, explaining, "I'm sure everyone is aware how important this project is to reinvigorate the company and that we have to be prudent every step of the way…" As Skye presented everything on the screen—fro
While the two directors were the prime suspects, Gwyneth did not obtain any evidence—be it in their work, business dealings, or even facial expressions. Still, she remained nonchalant as more questions piled in her mind, as if she was in full control of the situation, which was more than what the two men could take.As more time passed, Director Curtis gave in. "Why don't you tell me what you suspect me of, Ms. Glen?" he growled. "I'd rather not be interrogated like a criminal.""He's right!" Director Weaver cried indignantly. "No one's uncomfortable being accused like this, especially when we've worked for the company for so long!"Gwyneth only got more suspicious with their refusal to cooperate before, but both men appeared adamant and did not appear to be hiding anything.Which was good."So, no defending your actions?" she asked."I've always done my part. There's nothing to say about that.""Exactly! Losses like this would only get more opaque the more we pry, and my co
While Gwyneth had been racking her brains for the entire day, Liam had not been idling either. In fact, Henry woke him after that phone call with Gwyneth despite being his friend for years and knowing his temper, especially how he would get very upset when woken up rudely.Therefore, Henry held his phone in front of Liam, leaving the news on Callie on the screen as he woke him.To no surprise, Liam frowned as soon as he saw it and snatched it off Henry's hand.As Henry patted his chest from the close shave and thanked his lucky stars that he diverted Liam's temper, Liam growled, "So, the paparazzi photographed her entering the night club yesterday?"Henry nodded, and Liam's heart seemed to clench. "Does Gwyneth know?"They argued for the first time yesterday because of Callie, and if Gwyneth were to see this, the misunderstanding would only get worse.Henry, however, was on the verge of tears as he shook his head. "I don't know if the missus knows but she just called me, asking
Callie's wounded reaction left Liam rubbing between his brows.He was certainly repulsed, but considering the connection between his family and hers, he did not take it out on her.At the same time, Callie pretended to rub her eyes while sliding peeks at Liam. She asked how he was doing—probing if he suspected her—only for him to completely ignore her.He simply stared at the agreement she signed and thought about how he should resolve the scandal while the meeting room turned silent.Callie was not about to let up easily, however, and pressed with her delicate voice, "I'll do my best if there's anything else you need, Liam! I can only hope that Gwyneth doesn't misunderstand this…"Despite what she said, her lips curled up ever so slightly with a calculating look in her eyes—she certainly wanted Gwyneth to misunderstand! Once this scandal caused a rift between Liam and Gwyneth, she would just have to sit back and reap all the rewards!Liam merely frowned at her words, waving he
Director Curtis' heart skipped a beat as he watched Gwyneth get to her feet for no reason, having the nagging feeling that she was up to something.Nonetheless, Gwyneth paced around the meeting room several times, her eyes locked on the two couples present until she suddenly stopped beside Mrs. Curtis.Then, she studied Mrs. Curtis from head to toe and, making no effort to hide it, started to move closer, her eyes locked on her throughout.No one would be pleased if they were stared at like that, and Mrs. Curtis was a case in point—she wheeled on Gwyneth, asking a little brusquely, "Isn't this a little impolite, Ms. Glen?"Gwyneth took no offense to the edge in her voice, even shrugging.However, her nonchalance sent Director Curtis flying into a rage, and he picked up his glass and smashed it on the floor, shattering it loudly into pieces!Gwyneth frowned at his reaction.Skye got to her feet nearby, ready to lecture the man, but Gwyneth stopped her.Meanwhile, Director Curtis
Gwyneth inhaled deeply.Of course, she knew that the Sphinx Club was privately owned by Liam.Callie had been there twice. The most recent trip was last night.In her fury, Gwyneth lost control and threw her phone away in frustration when she considered their relationship and Callie's feelings for Liam.Before the call abruptly ended, Wanda heard a loud bang. She reasoned that Gwyneth was enraged.Her rage was evident to everyone in the room. Everyone remained silent out of fear.Her outburst terrified Mrs. Curtis and Director Curtis, who were already scared of her. They held their breath out of fear.Skye hurried over to calm her down. Fearing that she might enrage Gwyneth even more, she asked cautiously, "Ms. Glen, calm down! What happened? Why are you so mad?"Gwyneth waved her hand. She calmed herself down before stating, "Give me your phone."Even though Skye found this order confusing, she still handed over her phone.Gwyneth took the phone and was about to make a call.
She was shocked when the paparazzi cornered her in the wee hours. Gwyneth knitted her brows and looked at the crowd before her. Her face showed signs of irritation.After dealing with a barrage of problems until midnight, no one would be in a good mood when reporters bombarded them with questions. Gwyneth was no different.She was unable to leave because of the situation and was forced to answer their questions."First and foremost, I have nothing to say. Instead of asking me whether there's something between those two, you should ask them. Why are you asking me? Are your priorities not in the wrong place?"In response to the reporters's relentless questions, Gwyneth let out a cold, mocking smile.She started a counterattack before the reporters could respond."Secondly, the truth is the truth, despite what was said online. Has Liam made any statements? You're just speculating, aren't you?"In addition, if he did do something, I'm afraid I can't tell you about it because it's
