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
Liam could not resist smiling smugly at that and entered the room in a flash, denying her any chance to change her mind.As it had been not easy for them to reconcile, the night certainly turned out to be a long and sweaty affair, and they only fell asleep in each other's arms very late into the night.She was woken rudely by her phone's ringtone early the next morning.Still feeling muddled, she started to reach for it, only for Liam to hold firmly onto her and refuse to let go."Let me hold you a little longer…"She groaned exasperatedly. "It's work!"Eventually finding her phone on the floor, she answered it, and Skye started screaming once she did, "It's terrible, Ms. Glen! KI Group suddenly called this morning, demanding to annul our billion dollar joint project!"Gwyneth's head cleared considerably right then, and she rubbed her brow while coming to a realization. "Didn't the project just start recently?" "Yes, but they are accusing us of negligence in the work process a
Norah was left scowling, but she stubbornly snapped at Gwyneth, "The company can't even afford to pay us after that mess. I won't stay even if you begged!"With those words, she stormed off, while Gwyneth shrugged nonchalantly.Then, sweeping her cool glare over the crowd, she said, "If anyone agrees with her, you may come forward as well. I'll allow you to leave without a word, but don't say I didn't warn you. Those who aren't willing to fight with the company will never find acceptance anywhere they go. All they do is doubt everyone else, especially their leaders' ability to resolve the crisis. Such individuals hold no importance in any respectable company."Her words were clear, and those who were clearly here to riot for the sake of it and demanding to leave were all silent.Meanwhile, every department head had gathered at the meeting room. All of them were engaged in discussion before Gwyneth arrived, concerned about the immediate future of the company.She entered at 9 AM sh
Mr. Stark's response left Gwyneth utterly confused.The engineering division of her company was composed of elites she painstakingly recruited personally. Even if they had made a mistake with the blueprints, it should not be as terrible as Mr. Stark had put it. Moreover, as the blueprints would only be sent after multiple reviews, others in the company would notice any issues immediately.Considering that Mr. Stark was waiting for her response, Gwyneth shelved her thoughts and apologized. "I shall properly look into this issue. You will have a satisfactory response soon.""Very well. I've always admired you, Ms. Glen, and I certainly hope you won't disappoint. In fact, my company still looks forward to working together with yours."They clinked glasses. "Here's to a productive partnership."After the banquet was over, Gwyneth received a copy of the blueprints sent to KI Group from Skye. However, Gwyneth spotted issues the instant she downloaded the file—it was not the final draf
Gwyneth's reaction appeared utterly adorable to Liam, and he hugged her even tighter, reluctant to let her go at all.He lowered his head to watch her sleeping face, a million different thoughts crossing his mind just then.This woman, who looked just like a kitten nestling within his embrace, had countless secrets and identities hidden from his knowledge.She was a great enigma, with every facet about her filled with unknowns. It ignited him with an impatient desire to explore her and to see through her.Even so, he knew that she had her reasons for secrecy, but when the day that she completely accepted him came, she would naturally tell him everything.He loved her dearly, which was why he had all the patience he needed to wait for that day. Beyond that, he also hoped that Gwyneth would completely relax around him instead of shouldering everything alone in silence.Liam could not help raising his hand at the thought, caressing her tightly knitted brow until it relaxed.He th
It didn’t take long before it hit her. Every year, hackers were ranked internationally, and she was pretty sure that Root had frequently been compared to her… Which meant that he was among the cream of the crop. She had always been curious about his identity, yet… To think that this was how her first encounter with him would go. Regardless, she had to crack the program quickly, and with any luck, she’d be able to meet him! With that in mind, the woman scowled before starting to decipher the series of complicated codes… and eventually, she found some loopholes. Motivated, she continued doing her best to get it done with… but suddenly, her screen turned red and her speakers began blaring! To make matters worse, a long wall of text rolled down the screen, followed by a popup that wrote, ‘Warning! A critical error has occurred!’ Before Gwyneth could even respond to the chaos, one final buzz was heard before her computer crashed, leaving her momentarily speechless… Damn it, she had be
Clearing her throat, Gwyneth then sarcastically asked, “Oh? Is that so… When exactly did that happen, hmm?” Though Judy was infuriated by that, she continued playing the victim as she replied, “I-I admit that it’s too tiny for you to even care about… Just cut me some slack-” “If you wanted to run an actual company, why didn’t you choose to just work with your mother? Unless… You’re trying to create a name for yourself? Your own thing? If so, I have to say that’s rather ambitious of you,” scoffed Gwyneth. Going slightly pale when she heard that, Judy chuckled awkwardly before muttering, “I-I’m just doing this for fun, that’s all…” Simply looking at the fidgeting girl was enough for Gwyneth to know how cautious Judy was being with her responses… Exactly as Gwyneth had anticipated. Now that she already had the confirmation that she needed, Gwyneth walked up to Judy, lifted her chin, and growled, “Look, whatever you’re planning… Be sure to keep your tricks hidden, alright? Otherw
Disregarding the surprise in Gwyneth’s eyes, Liam then said, “I already felt that something was off when Judy first set that company up, so I made sure to send my men over to infiltrate. With that said, one of my men got rather high in the ranks, so I can just get him to send you his login ID.” …To think that he was this prepared… Though she now admired Liam a lot more, Gwyneth couldn’t help but frown as she muttered, “…That’s great and all, but don’t you think you’re being a bit careless by sharing such confidential information with me?” “…Gwyneth, you’re my wife. Why would I need to hide anything from you? We’ve been married for ages so stop treating me like an outsider already…” grumbled Liam as he hugged her tighter. “Still…” muttered Gwyneth as she averted her gaze. The last thing she wanted was to drag him down with her. To her dismay, Liam quickly cut her off and began leading her to the study while saying, “Look, only a few confidants are aware that I’ve been spying on
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
