Gwyneth gave Herman's identity some serious thought.She was perplexed as she gave it more thought. She believed that the more difficult it was to find leads, the more likely it was that there was a problem.She eventually decided to set this aside.If Wanda was unable to find anything, she would ask her disciple to help her. Perhaps the two could uncover some clues.After Gwyneth made up her mind, she sent Wanda away and got ready to go to bed. She wanted to get a good night's sleep.Wanda went back to her room once she had her instructions.She gave it some thought and decided to tell Hayden about Gwyneth's investigation into Herman. She told Hayden, "Mr. Hut, my boss asked me to look into Venti Hotel's President, Herman Newman. She asked me to look into his identity today."Hearing this made Hayden scowl and keep quiet for a long time.He had to agree that Gwyneth had keen intuition.Herman was a top student at a prestigious university in Meflines. Hayden had unintentionall
They were enjoying themselves when the yacht started shaking violently.The sea was no longer calm. The waves were surging one after the other.The yacht then started to rock even more fiercely.Aubrey lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. Gwyneth supported her, and there was a solemn look in her eyes. She headed to the bridge and asked the captain, "What's going on? Why is the ship shaking so violently?""We encountered big waves which made the yacht shake violently," the captain replied frankly.Gwyneth furrowed her brows when she heard the explanation.At the same time, she experienced a sense of relief.She had thankfully gone with a manned yacht. Otherwise, they would have ended up with a catastrophe today. At this time, they had to rely on the captain to survive.Gwyneth looked gratefully at the man and sincerely said, "Thank you."…The waves came in succession, increasing in intensity from mild to severe.Elizabeth started to experience seasickness.Aubrey
Herman's openness left the three a little surprised. His revelation did not distance them from him. The group continued to have a good time, and it did not seem like they were stranded at sea.Meanwhile, Luther Corporation's employees felt as though the past few days had a gloomy overcast. The atmosphere at work was suffocating. Their president was the origin of this emotion.Liam sensed that something was wrong with him lately. He was very agitated. He made an effort to focus on his work but discovered that it was difficult for him to calm down.He lightly tapped the desk with a dejected expression, as he fell deep into his thoughts.The manager who was presenting a report to him dared not utter a sound. He thought he might suffocate if he remained in the office much longer.The atmosphere in the room was awfully depressing.Liam finally regained his composure. He lifted his head and saw the manager, whose face had almost turned red from holding his breath. He made a motion with
Henry felt sorry for Liam's situation when he heard this. He said, "You should stay positive. After all, the two of you were once together."He noticed that Liam was drinking nonstop. He added, "Maybe you might win her back someday."Liam looked at the wine glass in his hand. He had a drab, difficult-to-read look in his eyes. He said coldly, "Hey, I don't even know where she is right now. How can I get her back?"Information about Gwyneth's whereabouts flashed in Henry's mind, but he hesitated to share it with him. After a while, he finally said, "Actually, I might know where she is.""You do?" Liam's hand that was holding the glass paused. He slowly turned to face Henry.Henry swallowed and nodded. He had made up his mind and said, "They might be taking a vacation at Barnston Coast right now.""They?" Liam asked with a frown."Yes, she called me earlier and informed me that she traveled to Barnston Coast with her friends."Henry felt that he should tell him everything to s
Herman smiled courteously in response.Gwyneth had been staring intently at the painting the entire time. She finally mustered the courage to ask, "Mr. Newman, may I ask if the painting on this wall was done by you?"Her question caught Herman off guard. He followed her line of sight to the painting on the wall. It was a work made up of various lines and colors that evoked certain emotions."Yes, it's my work," he replied."Why is your painting style so unique?"Gwyneth queried, her interest piqued, "The lines and colors in the painting appear random, but they are incredibly harmonious. It's an astonishing technique."Her compliment caused Herman to blush a little. He replied modestly, "Ms. Glen, you're flattering me. I'm not as amazing as you claim."When Gwyneth turned to face Herman, she noticed that his smile had gradually changed to one of sadness. She asked out of concern, "Mr. Newman, are you okay?"Both Aubrey and Elizabeth picked up on the troubling vibe when they hear
Herman's remarks were carefully considered by Hayden.He concluded by saying, "The plan is still the same. We'll wait for Liam to take the bait."Herman scowled, looking perplexed. He asked, "But won't that throw off our plan? If we continue, Gwyneth will fall victim to the trap once she participates and wins the auction."Hayden held onto his phone firmly, and his fingertips had turned white.Gwyneth joining this bidding war was not something he had anticipated."You had me set up this trap under the guise of the Barnston Coast project, didn't you? Nobody anticipated that she would show an interest. Obviously, she would disrupt our plan."Herman found the circumstances problematic. He was at a loss for how to approach this problem effectively.Hayden urged calmly, "Don't worry about it. I will manage it. Your responsibility right now is to carry out this plan. Keep going unless I tell you otherwise."His resolute tone gradually calmed Herman down.Herman was forced to concur
Elizabeth ground her teeth, but she finally agreed to Hayden's request.She had to do as he said if she wanted to become Mrs. Luther. Everything would be lost if she refused.The employees of Luther Corporation were nervously getting ready for a meeting.Director Wheeler walked over to Liam as soon as he entered the building."Mr. Luther, here are the meeting materials. Please take a look," he said, as he handed Liam a stack of documents."It's the proposal for Barnston Coast. My planning department has developed a preliminary plan," Director Wheeler added."Good," Liam said as he walked into the meeting room.He entered the meeting room, quietly took a seat, and turned to face Director Wheeler.Director Wheeler broke out in a sweat as he nervously rubbed his hands together."Now, let me introduce you to the preliminary acquisition plan for the Barnston Coast project," he said, addressing everyone.In a formal tone, he started the slide show and stated, "Barnston Coast is cur
"Okay, I guess that settles it. You have to take me there. I won't interfere with your work," said Henry.Actually, he just needed an excuse to go there.Liam remained silent after that. He had finally conceded to Henry's request, though reluctantly.Soon, under Liam's guidance, they arrived at Barnston Coast.Director Wheeler was thrilled when they arrived at Barnston Coast and kept praising its positive qualities."I've had enough! Save some energy for the bidding cocktail party tomorrow," Liam said coldly as he glared at Director Wheeler.Director Wheeler immediately complied and nodded. Then he started to prepare for the various matters of the bid."You're quite imposing," Henry teased at the sight of this."If you don't want me to kick you out, you should talk less," Liam warned, dissatisfied."All right, I'll stop talking now. You better think about how to apologize to Gwyneth," Henry retorted and poked Liam before he left.Liam's complexion darkened. This was indeed a
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
