"Gaspard..." Gwyneth hit the play button, and within the first second of the footage, she caught sight of her father, Gaspard Glen.

Wesley stood silently by her side, his expression marked by a sense of solemnity.

A tinge of red flickered in Gwyneth's eyes, and her hand, resting on the table, gradually clenched into a fist as she mustered the patience to keep watching. Only when the video came to an end did she release a deep sigh.

The surveillance camera had been strategically positioned at the entrance of Glen Corporation. In addition to the regular influx of employees, primarily from the marketing department, the video revealed an alarming trend—Gaspard appeared as the most frequent visitor.

The fact that Gaspard's visits exceeded even that of employees responsible for market operations was deeply unsettling. Despite his former CEO status at Glen Corporation, Gaspard still retained his position as a shareholder. In conventional companies, shareholders rarely made personal appear

    Elizabeth's voice quivered as she spoke, her words choked with emotion, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She was truly terrified in that moment, so much so that after uttering those words, she instinctively took two steps back.Liam hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Elizabeth. The intensity of her response only confirmed the inner turmoil she was experiencing. When people became anxious, their voices often rose involuntarily, a subconscious attempt to convince others.Liam's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously as he recalled Gwyneth's previous explanation about the distinction between burn and scald scars. Taking a stride forward with his long legs, he parted his thin lips slightly and spoke in a calm tone. "Lately, I've been looking into burn scars and I've discovered that they can actually be completely eliminated."Liam's tone, though devoid of emotion, sent shivers down Elizabeth's spine. His words abruptly halted her feigned tears. She lifted her head, gazi

    Gwyneth stared at the hideous scar in the mirror, lost in thought. It had been ages since she had taken a close look at it. The scar ran horizontally across her abdomen, starting from the front and stretching toward her side, even reaching further toward her back.Gwyneth pursed her lips and delicately traced her fingertips along the scar. It no longer elicited any pain, but the fact that she had been young when her skin was burned meant that the nerves beneath the scar had suffered damage. As a result, whenever her scar was touched, she would experience a peculiar sensation—a constant reminder that her nerves had not yet fully recovered.Gwyneth vividly remembered the moments of her treatment back then, when she was in a semi-conscious state, hearing the elderly doctor with graying hair speak slowly. 'It will likely take many years for the texture of her skin and the nerves inside to fully heal,' he had said.Just a little over a decade had passed since then, so it made sense that

    Gwyneth's statement left all the shareholders of Glen Corporation stunned. They suddenly realized that the young lady before them was completely different from their previous impression. Their gazes then turned toward Gaspard, who was sitting on the side. The expression on his face was more than just displeasure—it was downright unpleasant."Due to an urgent matter within the company, I allowed this shareholder meeting to take place today. I won't go into further detail about who called for the meeting," Gwyneth stated, her smile gradually fading. Her gaze swept across the faces of the shareholders, leaving a palpable tension in the room.She went on, "However, I want to remind everyone that I am the current CEO of Glen Corporation, and as such, I possess the exclusive authority to convene a shareholder meeting." Gwyneth concluded her statement, locking her eyes onto Elliott's face. When she noticed Elliott meekly lowering his head, a smile reappeared on her lips.Seeing this, Wesle

    Liam listened to his assistant's words and couldn't help but think about the situation Gwyneth was currently facing. His hand tightened instinctively into a fist. "Have the tech department uncover the financial patterns of Glen Corporation," he instructed.The assistant's heart skipped a beat when he heard Liam. He quickly hurried off to handle the matter.Meanwhile, the shareholders' meeting at Glen Corporation continued. One shareholder spoke up, "Ms. Glen, as harsh as it may sound, the truth remains that Glen Corporation's stocks are plummeting, and you cannot escape responsibility for it."A second shareholder joined in, "Let's face it, being a CEO requires expertise. Someone as young as you is simply not up to the task.""Gwyneth, it's in your best interest to step down before this situation escalates any further. It's wise to have an exit strategy."As those shareholders expressed their opinions, Gwyneth maintained her composure, twirling the pen in her hand. A subtle smile

    Gwyneth took a step forward, placing her purse on the couch before settling herself comfortably across from Liam. She exuded a natural poise that required no conscious effort to enhance. Her graceful and composed demeanor immediately captured Liam's attention.As Liam glanced at the person before him, a light chuckle escaped his lips. "Honey, if I had some insiders at Glen Corporation, you wouldn't be sitting here so composedly, would you?"Gwyneth smirked at the term "Honey" but didn't retort. Instead, she took out her phone and spread the documents she had just received in front of Liam.Liam said, "Are you trying to say thank you? A dinner would do." Throughout the conversation, his gaze never wavered from Gwyneth's face. Little did he expect that she would simply ignore his words."What else did you find?" Gwyneth asked, her voice carrying a hint of resignation.Gwyneth knew that Gaspard had clearly meddled in some internal affairs of Glen Corporation. However, there were cert

    "Sure, let's be friends," Gwyneth responded to Liam. She had no intention of pursuing a romantic relationship with him, but if they could be friends, it might not be so bad. With that thought in mind, she looked up at Liam and found him less annoying than before.Gwyneth's unequivocal agreement seemed to relax Liam, as if he had let out a sigh of relief. He exhaled deeply and suggested, "Well, it's getting late, let's go back."Of course, Gwyneth knew exactly what Liam meant by "go back." She had just agreed to stay with him in the Luther residence for a few more months, so she didn't want to cause a scene. That is, if Elizabeth wasn't in the picture.During the ride, they engaged in casual conversation, mainly discussing the issues surrounding Glen Corporation. Larry was driving and occasionally glanced at them through the rearview mirror, noticing the harmonious atmosphere between the two.Upon their return to the Luther residence, Liam belatedly realized that there was no one av

    After removing some fish bones, a sudden thought struck Gwyneth like a lightning bolt. 'How much longer can I really stay in this house? I don't think I should make this kind of commitment.'Initially, Gwyneth had intended to offer Liam some advice, but as these thoughts flooded her mind, her words became lodged in her throat. A fleeting sense of detachment flickered within her, but it passed so quickly that she didn't dwell on what that feeling was.

    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

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.
