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 group quickly gathered firewood and went back to camp.The women gathered inside the cabin and had a lively conversation. They occasionally covered their mouths and giggled, displaying a demeanor of coquetry.Everyone remained silent when they saw Gwyneth returning with the men. They all appeared contemptuous of her.Geneva took the initiative and targeted Gwyneth after a momentary silence."You're back? You must have given them a lot of trouble. It has to be hard on you to impress others despite your ignorance.""Yeah, how in the world is she so shameless? We could never do that, could we?""We should learn from her!"When the other women heard these words, they all started to giggle. Everyone was casting hostile looks at Gwyneth.Gwyneth held a small bundle of firewood in her arms. She quickly looked around the room, ignoring their sarcasm and found a suitable spot to set them down.The women had no idea how heavy the firewood was since they were criticizing from the sid
After saying that, Liam walked up to Gwyneth.He immediately understood everything when he saw the firewood lying around on the ground.He took Gwyneth's hand, ignoring other women's infatuated and loving looks.He lowered his gaze, caressed her skin, and occasionally breathed on it. His gaze was overflowing with affection. It was in stark contrast compared to his earlier warning glance toward Geneva.He inquired, "Are your hands sore from carrying the firewood?"Gwyneth was stunned. She gave a head shake to show she was not in pain.Liam could not stand to see his wife carrying such heavy wood. He offered, "I'll clean up here. You should get some rest."Gwyneth shook her head once more. She said, "I have to cook with them. I'll take a nap after lunch."Geneva's face turned white as a sheet in response to the sight.She had thought Liam would chastise his wife. After all, the majority of the women in attendance were either from wealthy families or of high social standing.
Usually, Liam would treat Hayden like a clown and ignore his attempts at sowing discord. He would never take him seriously or believe what he said.However, it was different today. He was seated next to an irritating two-faced woman.She kept bugging him and lacked judgment. She had also made an effort to get his wife to take the fall for her.'If I remained silent, would she lord over my wife? I couldn't tolerate that.'He snarled in response after reflecting on this, "Mr. Hut, you don't know my wife. She is gracious. She also has a thorough understanding of my preferences and my method of handling things. Moreover, she's very understanding."Take this food as an example. I'm familiar with it and fond of its flavor. As long as I enjoy it, Gwynnie won't mind. She would even encourage me to eat more."Gwyneth was the one who had prepared all of these dishes. He knew it from the first bite because he could only eat the food she made and was constantly thinking about it.His respon
As he watched the couple leave, Hayden clenched his fists unconsciously and squinted his eyes.He overlooked how painful it was for his nails to dig into his palms.'Liam, just you wait!'He became increasingly angry the more he thought about it. He was unable to keep his temper in check. He growled, clenched his teeth, and kicked a nearby wooden stump."Liam!" He muttered.His eyes were blazing with anger and envy. There was no room for anything else.He was overwhelmed with fury. He seized a glass on the spur of the moment and threw it to the floor.The room echoed with the noise. The glass smashed into numerous fragments. It was an unsightly scene to watch.Root happened to pass by, and he leaped backward, afraid of being struck by the flying shards.When the shards landed on the ground, it glistened coldly under the light.Hayden also adopted the same cold expression.Root cautiously avoided Hayden. He reasoned that there has to be something wrong with this man. He shook
When Gwyneth saw that person walking away in a hurry, she narrowed her eyes.'This location is so isolated, and there's heavy snow now. Generally speaking, nobody would come here. That man looked panicked. His gaze was erratic when he apologized. He looked like he had done something guilty, and we stumbled across it.' She had a feeling that there was something wrong with that person."Liam, I suspect that person is responsible for keeping us here. You should keep a closer eye on his movements.""Okay."They went back to the lobby right away.Liam instinctively looked for the man who had just appeared when he walked into the lobby. He saw him chatting cheerfully with Hayden.He thought back to Gwyneth's suspicion, and his skepticism about Hayden grew.After a brief pause, he cautiously said, "Gwynnie, I still think it has something to do with Hayden, look..."Gwyneth was startled. She followed the line of his gaze and wanted to say something.However, Root was approaching t
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
