Now that they had revealed who they were, Gwyneth found no reason to continue prolonging things. With that, she pointed at Root before saying, “Anyway, correct me if I’m wrong. You only decided to help Judy because you needed the money for your grandmother, right?” Watching as Root nodded, Gwyneth was prompted to add, “Very well, then. How about I strike you a deal? Stop working for Judy and join my company instead. There, I’ll give you the best equipment you could ever ask for, and I’m pretty sure your salary will be incomparable to what Judy offered you.” …Though he had anticipated her request that he stopped working for Judy, the latter offer was shocking, to say the least! He knew that she wasn’t giving out an empty promise, and he had to admit that he liked the idea of learning from her as well, but… Wouldn’t that mean that he’d have to betray his current employer? Truth be told, there were other reasons why he was working for Judy too… It took him a while, but he eventual
Squinting at her, Hayden then said, “…Are you for real? You’re unwilling to look to me for help even though I’m currently the only one who can provide it?” “I believe we both know the reason for that,” scoffed Gwyneth. Though Hayden’s smile remained on his face, Gwyneth could immediately sense just how furious he was inside. Thank God she was aware of his true nature… “I just don’t understand what you see in Liam… I can give you whatever he can, and hell, I’m better in some aspects than he is. For one, aren’t I here in your time of need instead of him?” said Hayden who knew Liam wasn’t coming over anytime soon. After all, he had made sure to properly analyze Liam’s schedule, and since this was a rather urgent meeting for that man, he had all the time in the world. In response to that, Gwyneth simply retorted, “It’s fine for a man to be a little late, especially when he’s compared to a scheming b*stard.” Following that, she began looking around… and soon enough, she found the
Following that, Liam pulled Gwyneth all the way home… and once the door was shut, he immediately pinned her against it and began biting her lower lip! Understandably startled, all she could do was stare in shock when Liam finally stared straight into her eyes and said, “Do you have any idea just how worried I was…? I was already getting anxious when you weren’t home after a while, but when I noticed Hayden’s car around? I nearly got a heart attack! I spent ages looking for you, and thankfully, I happened across the stuck elevator… How else would you have been saved so quickly?” …So that was what had happened… Feeling touched, Gwyneth hugged him tightly… but before she could even find the right words to say, she felt a trickle run down her neck. Was he… crying? No longer bothering to hide it, Liam gently placed her palm over his teary cheeks… and after a while, he was prompted to say, “…I’ve always believed that men shouldn’t cry so easily, yet… I simply can’t help myself… The lov
Gwyneth raised an eyebrow. She suspected something.'Wonder doctor? Could it be?'She decided to meet with Root and continue the conversation with this thought in mind.The following day, Gwyneth visited the restaurant where Root worked, with Liam by her side."Did Judy tell you the name of the wonder doctor?" She inquired when she saw the young man.Root uttered a few words, and his answer was more or less what she expected.A glint of light flashed across Gwyneth's eyes, and she exchanged a knowing smile with Liam.She was expecting this result. The situation would be much simpler for her to deal with if everything went exactly as she hoped.'I'm the wonder doctor, and I never made my identity public. Only a handful of people are aware of it. Judy learning about her identity is unlikely, much less my contact information. Judy must be bragging. She probably took advantage of Root's desperation to look for a cure.'Poor Root! He just wants to carry out his duty as a grandchild
This was something Gwyneth had anticipated would happen.She had decided to meet him today and offered to help him as a way of showing her sincerity.Root was a rare talent. It was foolish of Judy not to cherish him.Gwyneth was not going to let this chance slip past her.Her ultimate objective was to have Root loyally side with her.But before that, she sincerely hoped that his grandma's condition would get better.She jumped to her feet and yelled to Root as he left, "Hey, if you trust me, I can help you find the 'wonder doctor'!"Root paused in his steps.There was a brief moment of silence before he turned to face Gwyneth. His eyes were once again filled with hope.Whether other people were watching him in the restaurant did not bother him. He sprinted toward Gwyneth and asked, "Are you serious? Can you help me find the 'wonder doctor'?"As if realizing something, his mood dropped once more.He said, "But even if you do find him, you might not be able to bring him here."
The following day, Gwyneth got out of bed early.She had promised Root yesterday that she would bring the wonder doctor to treat his grandma.She looked at the man dozing next to her. She carefully lifted the quilt and got ready to get out of bed.In his sleep, Liam scowled as he realized that she had left. Therefore, he extended his arm to pull her back into bed.Gwyneth was aware of his intentions. She smiled helplessly, bent down, and gave a light kiss on his handsome face.Satisfied, Liam finally relaxed his hold.A little over an hour later, he also got out of bed. He searched every corner of the house but could not find his wife.Rather, he discovered a note on the dining room table.Gwyneth had left it behind before she departed, and it was written in an elegant font."Liam, I've made breakfast for you. I kept it warm in the oven. Remember to eat your breakfast before going to the office."Liam was deeply moved. His wife did indeed give him the best care.Gwyneth had
Gwyneth got to her feet and began packing her medical equipment.She said, "I have something to do over there. You can come along. You don't have to worry about the flight tickets. I'll ask my secretary to take care of them. What do you think?"There was a new area for development in Scarlet Highlands. Her data suggested that this land would soon become a highly competitive project. Because of this, she wanted to obtain it.She could conduct a thorough survey since this chance presented itself. Her confidence in the land's market value would increase as a result.Root agreed right away. After all, he had no idea what a century-old Safflower looked like. If Gwyneth was willing to take him there, it would have been a better arrangement.If accepting this meant that he was tacitly siding with her, he was not bothered by it."Okay, I'll let you know when the departure time has been decided."Gwyneth had other matters to handle in the office. She did not spend much time at Root's hou
Liam teased as he strode over and pulled Gwyneth into his arms.She indirectly responded to him and snorted, "Women always fall for you! There's always someone who covets you everywhere I go!"'All right, she's jealous! She always gets jealous but acts like she isn't. Women frequently say things contradicting what they mean. What's worse, I'm powerless against her! She's so cute.' Liam bent down and put his face against her shoulder. After that, he laughed in secret.Gwyneth suddenly spoke again, "I'll be checking out a project at Scarlet Highland for the next few days. Furthermore, I'll be helping Root collect an herb. While I'm away, you should take care of yourself and eat well."Liam's smile froze. He quickly lifted his head and demanded, "I want to go with you!"He had only been away from her for half a day, and he was already distracted and restless. He would miss her terribly and agonize over her if she was gone for a few days. He refused to have a long-distance relations
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
