The captain announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, our flight to Cogrington has taken off."The plane accelerated on the runway before taking off.Hayden cast a glance at Liam, then raised his brows and smiled triumphantly.He spoke to Gwyneth despite Liam's warning glance."Gwynnie, the weather is lovely today. After we land, would you like to join me for dinner?"Gwynnie, are you visiting Cogrington for the project at Scarlet Highland?""Gwynnie..."She had no desire to converse with this man, who kept calling her Gwynnie and talking nonstop.She turned her body away from Hayden as the plane entered the clouds, then closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep. After all, out of sight, out of mind.Hayden was not going to pass up this opportunity to defeat Liam.He quietly approached her, lowered his head, and gently breathed against her ear when she was not looking. In the next moment, he bit her earlobe and grinned triumphantly.They adopted a very intimate posture. When Liam saw
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.Gwyneth assumed it was Liam. She casually put on a bathrobe and answered the door without giving it a second thought.When she opened the door, she said out of habit, "You're back!"When she saw the visitor, her expression froze. She chided, "Why do I see you everywhere I go?"Hayden was dressed in a suit and holding a bouquet of roses while standing straight.His lust flared up when he saw her in a bathrobe. His dark eyes locked on to her beautiful curves and stayed glued to them for a long time.Gwyneth suddenly realized that she was in a bathrobe and practically exposing her body to him.Annoyed, she attempted to hurriedly shut the door.Hayden, however, had taken a step forward and blocked the door.He entered the room and quickly locked the door behind him before she had a chance to respond.Liam was unlikely to return so soon, and the two of them were the only ones in the suite.Hayden's breathing became hotter as he contemplated this.G
Hayden gritted his teeth to hide his discomfort. He reluctantly picked up the rose off the floor and walked away in a bad mood.The only people still present were Gwyneth and Liam. The tense atmosphere had become less so.Liam immediately withdrew his icy aura. He lowered his head to examine her seductive look in a bathrobe."What are you doing?"A little shy, Gwyneth put her hand over his eyes. She scolded him, "Jerk!"Liam grabbed the opportunity and pushed her up against the door. He held her waist, and the soft sensation was appealing to him.He placed his chin on her shoulder and breathed in the pleasant aroma of shampoo and shower gel. He exhaled deeply and said his grievances, "Hmm, I just saw Hayden hugging you."His deep jealousy filled the air.A thought occurred to Gwyneth. She raised her hand to touch his head and said, "He did that to provoke you. I couldn't break free."No further explanation was needed. Liam would believe her, and she knew that."I know," Liam
The trio met at the hotel's entrance after breakfast, as per the arrangement.Root greeted them politely right away, saying, "Hi, Gwyneth and Mr. Luther."He instantly noticed the love bites on Gwyneth's neck.This young man was still a virgin, but that did not mean he did not know about it. He quickly turned his head away and coughed a little to hide his embarrassment.They loaded their luggage into the car's trunk. After making sure everything was in order, they left for Scarlet Highland.The car quickly left the city center for the mountain road, where it continued until it reached Scarlet Hill's summit.Due to the ongoing development of the mountain range in recent years, many developers had looked into the area. They hoped to take advantage of the scenery and natural resources of Scarlet Hill to develop a tourist destination. The road was, therefore, well-constructed and easy to drive on.At first, none of them experienced any discomfort.However, the higher they went, t
Deep and alluring, Liam's voice captivated the audience. His words flowed softly, like a stream.Gwyneth was enchanted by his story.She stared at his face, watching his Adam's Apple bob as he spoke."Back then, some areas didn't have roads. It's not like this place, where we can drive up the mountain. My feet got blisters from a day of walking. I couldn't walk because I was in so much pain. I finally warmed some snow with the sun and applied it to my feet. My blisters were slightly cured."As they listened, everyone's opinion of him changed, especially Root, since Liam was always aloof and serious in his opinion.The boy found it hard to imagine that this man could humble himself, squat by the roadside, and entertain him with fascinating tales. He did all of these things to help him recover from his altitude sickness.Thinking of this, he was grateful and admired this man."Mr. Luther, you're so knowledgeable."'And this man is really funny.' Gwyneth shared her thoughts. Unc
Several groups of travelers quickly found their way to the camp after that.When they were questioned about it, everyone explained how their cars had broken down. They found the camp and were waiting to be rescued the next day.They were unable to use their phones because there was no signal in the mountains. Everyone had nothing to do but hang out and talk to each other.Gwyneth scowled and was lost in thought. A thought flashed through her mind, and her eyes gleamed with sharp, icy light.She suddenly inquired, "Which hotel were you all staying at?"Everyone turned to face her as the laughter subsided."What?""Which hotel did each of you depart from before arriving here?" Gwyneth asked solemnly, as she began to have a bad feeling about this.As expected, they all mentioned the same place, Prism Hotel."Isn't Prism Hotel the only five-star hotel in Cogrington?""Yes, yes it is."Someone asked her, "Is there a problem?""Don't you find it odd?" Gwyneth questioned as her
They were informed by the rescue team that the blizzard would last until the following afternoon. After the blizzard subsided, they would be able to climb down the mountain and save themselves.The camp manager got to his feet and announced, "Everyone is welcome to stay at the camp. We have a lot of rooms available, so you can settle in and get a good night's rest. We can discuss the rest tomorrow."Those who were present were from wealthy families or individuals with status, like Gwyneth and Liam.A majority of them had a hard time adjusting to the mountain environment because they were accustomed to comfortable living conditions. They would have freezed to death at night if they did not find a place to stay. In the end, they reluctantly agreed.Next, they needed to allocate the rooms.The rooms would be insufficient if they were distributed by the group.After a lot of discussion, it was finally decided that the rooms should be allocated by gender. In other words, Liam and Gw
Geneva felt sweat running down her back. She clenched her fists in silence and forced herself to remain calm.She scowled and coughed a little after that. She purposefully used a feminine tone as she wondered, "Gwyneth, did you pretend to want to do that because you don't want to cook, and it would be too embarrassing to say it out loud?"They had only recently made it to the camp and just exchanged names. Therefore, she knew Gwyneth's name.Her question was unpleasant, but her voice was as soft as the breeze, "Are you going to claim that you don't know how to chop wood later?"Numerous women in attendance supported Geneva because they were envious and hostile toward Gwyneth and Liam's relationship.They pointed fingers at Gwyneth and whispered among themselves, but Gwyneth ignored them and left with the men.Liam thoughtfully carried the ax for her on the way. He wanted her to conserve her strength. Gwyneth understood his motives and grinned. She thanked him and let him carry th
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
