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
Liam's sincere concern warmed her heart.Gwyneth insisted, "Seriously, I'm fine. I'm worried that you aren't used to eating other people's cooking. I don't want you to go hungry at night."He said reluctantly, after failing to convince her, "You need to take good care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, you need to get some rest right away. I won't allow anyone to criticize you."Liam gave Dana a stern look as he spoke. Clearly, he had just issued her a warning.When Dana caught his gaze, she shivered and shut up awkwardly. She refrained from criticizing Gwyneth any further.Dana's manager was upset when she saw the incident.She was the one who made Dana into a promising actress. She considered Dana her "gem". How could she stand by while others bullied Dana?Moreover, she could not bear the sight of Liam treating Gwyneth nicely. The manager considered herself attractive, but Liam never cast her so much as a glance. Jealousy was burning inside of her.She walked up to Da
The commotion started to draw a crowd. They were looking at Dana, intent on finding out what she was going to do about this mess.At the same time, she felt as if she was being stabbed by a million knives as Liam leveled his icy glare upon her, causing her to flinch and flush. Her lips parted, but no words came after a long while.Her manager finally could not stand it and promptly stepped in to bail her out. "Being allergic to bell peppers, Dana is prone to emotional outbursts whenever she sees them. That's exactly what happened just now, so don't take it to heart—I'll have a word with her later."When she was finished, she shot Dana a look to have her apologize.At first, Dana refused to do so—she was convinced she was not at fault. However, she was not that ignorant that she would fail to read the room. In fact, if word of this gets out, she would be labeled as pompous and conceited, while her position in showbiz would hit rock bottom.With that in mind, she forced herself
Dana's face paled with embarrassment, and she unwittingly turned to glare at Gwyneth, who lay limply against Liam's chest.Her heart flared with jealousy.However, even if she felt like she could rush up and tear Gwyneth into pieces, she hardly had the guts.All she could do was grit her teeth and storm off indignantly…-Henry and Aubrey were walking side-by-side around an hour ago. It was a rare weekend out, and they were planning to spend it going on a nice date when Liam's call reached them.The instant Henry answered, the man said in his usual icy voice, "You have an hour. Bring a chopper."And with that, he hung up.While Henry sighed exasperatedly, Aubrey was chipper beside him. "Is it about Gwyn? Let's go!"Hence, when the helicopter landed steadily, Aubrey got out excitedly, whooping when she saw Gwyneth and hugging her right then."I missed you so much, Gwyn!"However, the sudden lurch left Gwyneth flinching, and her breathing that finally stabilized slightly turne
Gwyneth looked up with considerable difficulty to see Liam getting out of the cockpit to reach her, staring at her worriedly. "Just tell me how to harvest it," he said. "You rest here and wait for me to come back."Root echoed right then. "He's right, Gwyn. Just leave this to me and Mr. Luther. It's freezing outside."Gwyneth nodded tamely as she did not have the strength to get up. "Check the pistil. It's red if it's over a hundred years old and pink if it's less than that…"Then, remembering something, she added, "Remember, don't touch the safflower's pollen if it's younger than a hundred years. It's poisonous."Liam quietly committed every word to memory and got out of the chopper with Root. They both returned in half an hour, holding large bouquets of safflowers that were still shedding tiny petals.It was certainly a bountiful harvest.However, Liam quickly put everything down when he saw that Gwyneth was already out like a light. She lay in Aubrey's arms, her dainty lips
Gwyneth's heart skipped a beat as she met Liam's earnest gaze. She was immediately emotional and could not resist taking him into her arms, especially with the obvious weariness on his face. He was silly to a fault, but he had definitely done everything he could to take good care of her and afforded her comfort.With that in mind, she could not resist tugging on his hand and said seriously, "Thank you, Liam, for taking care of me so well and staying by my side."However, he misunderstood her, and there was a flash of displeasure in his dark gaze.He turned away unhappily, refusing to look at her.Gwyneth picked up on his change of mood right then and asked, "What's wrong? Was it something I said? Did I upset you?"Liam glared at her from the corner of his eye. Still, seeing her blinking innocently as if she really had no idea what she did wrong, he gave in and sighed. "We're an old couple. Why do you have to keep thanking me like this? Am I supposed to be pleased about this?"G
Gaspard, however, was concerned instead of celebrating. "Where did you get that data? Is that accurate? I actually have a bad feeling about this…"Having worked in business for years, Gaspard was more or less slightly more prudent than Judy. After all, the data came too easily, and he felt strung-up instead of relieved.Be that as it may, all Judy could think about was Gwyneth being downtrodden, and she was too happy to listen to what Gaspard was saying. With her fists clenched, she told him with utter conviction, "Dad, someone up there is obviously helping us by dropping all this information on my lap! I'll definitely put it to good use and leave Gwyneth bankrupt by the end of the week. You have nothing to worry about—just wait for my good news!"Seeing her confidence, Gaspard assured himself that he was just paranoid.He kept quiet after hesitating for a while and left her room with a somber look.Meanwhile, Root called Gwyneth to tell her that it was done."Good, and I was
