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
"I'm leaving to find some peace."Gwyneth's icy voice echoed in Liam's ears. He was slow to respond.She interrupted when he wanted to say something, "Besides that, we should start the divorce proceedings as soon as possible."Liam's anxiety grew as a result of her words. His usual composure had vanished. He pleaded, "Gwynnie, listen to me. The truth is different from the news circulating online!"Gwyneth quickly grabbed her luggage and made for the door, refusing to listen to his explanation.Henry overheard the commotion and noticed his friend was in a panic. Before things got out of hand, he quickly pulled Aubrey aside in the hopes that she could mediate."Aubrey, listen up. The truth is not what you think it is. The rumors circulating online are untrue. I brought Liam to the club that night because he was depressed. Amid everything, Callie called and reported being followed."Liam then sent someone to deal with it out of kindness. Callie claimed that she dared not return hom
Liam turned his head and shot his friend a melancholic look. He deeply regretted having Henry here. He did no good and made matters worse. When Henry sensed Liam's deadly stare, he felt even more wronged. He had no choice but to suffer in silence. Gwyneth had said all that needed to be said. She ran out of energy trying to argue with Liam. With her right hand pulling Aubrey and her left hand dragging her luggage, she turned around and left the villa. She worried that if she remained any longer, her emotions would get out of control. Wanda was in charge of driving the car. She asked the two in the backseat if they needed to go to Aubrey's house or somewhere else. Gwyneth rubbed her temples, finding it difficult to provide an answer to that question. She did not want to go anywhere. On second thought, it might be best for her to take a vacation and clear her head. She asked Wanda to change her course with this in mind. Aubrey came to her mind, and she wondered whether s
Gwyneth reflected, 'If I recall correctly, Wanda made a reservation for the hotel in advance. Why can't we check in?'After some consideration, she came to the conclusion, 'This lobby manager probably did this because he thought we couldn't afford the suite.'Gwyneth gave Mr. Payne a quick glance.This man was dressed in a suit, looking arrogant and full of himself. Given his haughty demeanor, if one did not know any better, one might believe he was the owner of the hotel.Gwyneth grinned mockingly while her eyes flickered with a chilling light. She observed this man for a while and sneered, "What's with your attitude? You dress like a gentleman but treat your guests poorly."When Mr. Payne heard the sarcasm, he got enraged. He chided, "This is great! You don't know what's good for you. Security! Kick them out! They are not welcome here."He even rolled his eyes arrogantly at Gwyneth after saying this.Gwyneth grinned and questioned where he got his courage. There was no need fo
