Gwyneth was surprised that Liam would consider that.

She looked up at him, left speechless just then.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth was strolling distractedly along the beach with Aubrey and Henry. While the other two enjoyed a rather pleasant banter, she was grumpily following them, glancing at the horizon where Liam and Gwyneth disappeared from time to time.

Aubrey turned just then and noticed the look on her face. Scowling, she walked up to Elizabeth and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

There was not much concern in her tone, however.

Elizabeth pouted. "Just feeling a little tired."

Aubrey nodded in understanding and turned toward Henry. "Why don't we head back? Gwyneth and Liam would most likely return to the hotel directly. Let's not wait for them."

Henry nodded in agreement since it was reasonable.

On the other hand, Elizabeth was biting her lip. She wanted to wait for them to come back, talk to Liam, and try to find out what happened on their trip, but it was obviously not h

    Aubrey was suddenly knocking on Elizabeth's door even before she had yet to catch her breath after hanging up on the fake Herman."What is it?" Elizabeth asked, opening the door while her heart pounded and composing herself so that she did not look that nervous.Aubrey eyed her suspiciously for a moment before asking nonchalantly, "Gwyneth and Liam just got back, and they're planning to go to Springville. Will you be joining us?"It was just a question, but Elizabeth nodded, knowing she had no reason to refuse. "Yeah, I will."Aubrey nodded, glancing into Elizabeth's room for a moment before turning to leave."Wait, Aubrey…" Elizabeth called out to her hesitantly. Aubrey frowned and turned toward Elizabeth, who was curious after finding out that Liam had returned.She had questions but was suddenly afraid to ask."What is it?" Aubrey in turn got impatient—with Elizabeth's behavior getting stranger by the day, she had decided to stay skeptical of her.Elizabeth could see that

    Hayden leaned in, speaking just loud enough for Elizabeth to hear. "Say something."Elizabeth shuddered nervously and promptly beamed."Darling, I missed you too! You're finally home!" she exclaimed as loudly as possible to hide the quiver in her voice.Hayden smiled in satisfaction, though there was a flash of disgust in his eyes as he released her. Still, a look of tenderness soon appeared on his face as he tucked a strand of hair near her cheek behind her ear.Seeing the romantic gesture, the journalists around them photographed them even more while others eagerly squeezed their way toward them, trying to get an interview.Hayden put a hand around Elizabeth's waist and took off his sunglasses. Smiling at everyone around them politely, he nodded, permitting an interview."Mr. Hut! Why did you return to the country at this time?" one of the journalists asked.Hayden flashed an impeccable smile at the cameras before looking tenderly at Elizabeth. "Because I miss my fiancee too m

    After the chauffeur drove them to the hospital without delay, Hayden himself carried Elizabeth to a ward before getting someone to examine her.Once the doctor was done with the examination, he told Hayden, "She's not physically sound in the first place, and after having caught a cold, she fainted as her stamina caved."Not bothered to listen at all, Hayden simply planted himself on the couch while saying coolly, "Just do what you have to."His cold expression left the doctor stumped. Still, the doctor decided against saying what was on his mind and quickly called in a nurse to get Elizabeth hooked up to an IV.It seemed to hurt Elizabeth a lot, and Hayden could see her struggling as the nurse tried to insert an IV needle. As such, he strode up and held down her hand, and he waited for the nurse to be done before saying, "Change her clothes too."…After some time, Elizabeth woke up much healthier and more spirited.She looked around even as she picked up a strong scent of antib

    "Have you ever seen me lie to anyone?" Gwyneth asked as she walked up to Elizabeth just then and took the bowl of soup off Elizabeth's hands. "Look at you—you can't even bear to put away a plain bowl of soup. Do you really think Hayden was ever sincere with you?""You're right, but why should I work with you?" Elizabeth asked, not quickly trusting Gwyneth just yet."Because you're in trouble, and I can get you out," Gwyneth said shortly, letting the message sink in.Elizabeth was certainly interested but still hesitant as she looked up at Gwyneth.However, Wanda entered just as she was about to speak—she had been listening to their conversation, waiting outside for the right timing to enter.Gwyneth smiled in satisfaction at her before turning to ask Elizabeth. "I'll only give you one chance right now. Seize it and we're allies. If you don't, you'll always remain under Hayden's control."Elizabeth was taken aback—she really wanted to be free from Hayden, but working with Gwyneth

    It was time for Elizabeth to get discharged in the blink of an eye, though she found a familiar figure standing outside the entrance soon enough.She abruptly remembered that Gwyenth came to talk to her a few days ago, but she remained hesitant and never gave a response. Considering that Gwyneth came to receive her today, it was definitely about that too.Still, she feigned nonchalance and pretended to be surprised to see Gwyneth. "What are you doing here?"Gwyneth smiled faintly. "It's only natural that I visit my ally when she's getting discharged."Her confident answer left Elizabeth biting her lip. "I haven't made up my mind. Why are you so sure I'll say yes?"But to be honest, Gwyneth's suggestion interested her, but she would undoubtedly betray Hayden if she took the offer. She knew all too well that the man's cunning was only matched by his savagery, and he would destroy her if he realized she switched sides. Even if she did not want to admit that she feared Hayden even i

    When the servant came to his senses, he found a tall woman striding toward him murderously.He gritted his teeth as his fingers clenched on this knife, springing to his feet when she was just three steps away.As he stabbed his knife toward Gwyneth, she seemed to anticipate his move and dodged it, but he managed to cut her on the arm.Even so, she did not react as she parried his second blow.After a brief tussle and realizing he could not defeat Gwyneth, the man made his escape.Gwyneth turned toward the unconscious Elizabeth at that, her eyes flashing vaguely before she whipped out her phone within seconds. "Hello, emergency services?…Gwyneth sat by Elizabeth's bed after sending her to the hospital, intent on asking about the stolen data and the attempt on her life when she woke up.It did not take Elizabeth too long to stir, and she almost jumped when she saw Gwyneth—in the end, she more or less felt guilty toward Gwyneth.Seeing that she had woken up, Gwyneth cut to the

    Even as Elizabeth mused to herself, a nurse entered the ward with her trolley. "You're awake, Ms. Lisle? Why didn't you call me when your IV was done? You should have your medicine changed punctually—you're still very weak.""Yeah," Elizabeth replied softly, although her eyes were glued on a packet of pills on the trolley.Her eyes flashed murderously as an idea took root, and she turned to find that the nurse had her back to her.She quickly reached out to take the packet and hid it under her blanket, waiting until the nurse was gone before taking them out again. Reading the description carefully, she smiled enigmatically in turn.…Meanwhile, Gwyneth returned to Elizabeth's room once she had her injury bandaged. After receiving an IV bag infusion, Elizabeth recovered considerably, and color returned to her lips.Seeing Gwyneth arrive, Elizabeth eagerly offered her a glass of warm water, and she drank it without much thought.After she did, she said, "Hayden will try to kill

    Gwyneth's heart skipped a beat—she had long since forgiven Liam and was able to see all the sacrifices he made for her.However, his serious look suddenly sparked her sense of mischief, and she felt the urge to tease him.With that in mind, she shook her head. "It's just an accident, and didn't I turn out fine? I'd rather not move back in and impose."Liam got flustered right then. "We're in a relationship. How is this imposing?"Then, as if an idea suddenly occurred to him, he became bashful and said, "How about this… I need your protection?"Gwyneth really could not keep pretending right then and started chortling, "Then I guess I have to move back in…"Liam blushed at her teasing smile.But whatever the case might be, it was good that she agreed to move back in.…Gwyneth recovered quickly and was allowed to move back in soon enough. Liam had already brought all her belongings back to Luther Mansion, and they both went straight there once they left the hospital.They wer

    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.

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?

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

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!
