In response, Liam pursed his lips. He said nothing as he closed the trunk.He was very considerate. He helped her into the production team's vehicle by holding onto the car roof with one hand while covering her head with the other."Call me when you get there. Take good care of yourself. Call me if there's any problem," he urged."All right, I get it."Gwyneth reached the studio after a few hours of travel. She called Liam to let him know where she had arrived after she had set her luggage down, then she went backstage to find Aubrey.She had made numerous calls to Aubrey since last night, but she never answered. She never read the messages either, and she was deeply worried about her.She asked around and found that Aubrey was in room number 27 to remove her makeup."Room 27," Gwyneth muttered as she looked for the room.When she approached the room, she spotted two figures.A man and a woman were standing side by side, facing the door, and passionately kissing each other.
In light of this, Gwyneth casually mentioned what happened after Aubrey left."He didn't know you were traveling, so he was genuinely worried about you. He lost a lot of weight in a few days. He looked like a panda, with huge dark circles and puffiness under his eyes. When Liam and I first saw him, we were both shocked. The first thing he asked when we met was your whereabouts."Before this, neither Gwyneth nor Liam brought this up because they considered Aubrey's feelings. She brought it all up today to let her know how Henry was feeling.Aubrey's actions slowed down as anticipated. She perked up her ears and paid close attention because she did not want to miss anything.Gwyneth finally got to the point. She said, "Henry really cares about you, but he expressed his feelings poorly."Aubrey agreed with her at this point."Even so, I still can't accept him."Aubrey frowned and struggled a little.Finally, she opened up to her friend and said, "Love feels like an illusion to me.
"Are you Gwyneth Glen?" Luke asked knowingly.The provocation on his face was evident when Gwyneth turned to look at him."Whose money did you use as leverage to get in here?" He questioned.Gwyneth did not bother to respond to his groundless, slanderous, and insulting taunts.She found a random spot in the room and sat down. She coldly scanned the room and took in the environment while waiting for Aubrey to return.Luke felt a sense of victory when she ignored him. He reasoned that this woman must be feeling guilty. He became even more emboldened as a result of this thought.He was convinced that her background was inferior to his.He jeered, "Did you not use somebody's connections to get in? What's there to hide? It's fine as long as you don't feel awkward when you're on stage. Talent is key here. If you lack talent, you won't last long."He got more and more animated."How could you say such demeaning things?" Aubrey scolded loudly as she burst into the room.She was fu
Her phone rang after she finished saying that.She hastily made her way to a corner to answer it after noticing the caller ID.Her voice involuntarily softened. She wondered, "Liam? What's wrong?"There was a moment's silence at the other end of the call. After some time, he muttered gently, "Nothing. I just...missed you.""Yeah, me too. I'll return shortly. Eat well, and try not to stay up too late.""Okay."Neither of them were particularly verbose. The conversation ended shortly after that.When Gwyneth hung up the call, she looked up to see Aubrey leaning in and grinning at her.She asked, "Was that Liam? Oh my, he can't stand to be separated from you even for a second. I'm so jealous!"The envy in Aubrey's voice was palpable. She even made a mischievous expression to show how jealous she was."Seriously, you've only been gone for a day, but he's already lovesick. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Moreover, he even told you he's missing you."Aubrey covered her forehead, shook her head rep
The director was speechless. He covered his face in shock as the event inside the recording studio unfolded.'Amazing! This haughty bastard ignored my advice. If that man finds out...well, he'll have to deal with the consequences.'Director Dixon stayed out of it.First of all, the circumstances raised some tension within the show and ended up becoming a selling point. Secondly, he had found this brat annoying for a while now.Gwyneth looked over her shoulder. She looked calmly at Luke, who was pointing at her.While everyone expected her to attack him, all she did was smile softly. She responded, "The producer invited me here. No one can question my right to voice an opinion."Luke did not take her modesty seriously. He treated her like an easy target.He insulted, "Hmph, I wonder whose coattails you had to ride on to get this seat. Even so, can you even understand? All you did was sit there and babble nonsense!"Gwyneth's gaze grew colder over time.'This brat was probably i
Meanwhile, a handsome man was working in his office on the top floor of the city's tallest building.Amelie, the assistant, had just finished giving a report. She hesitated to tell him something.Liam turned his head to look at her. He asked, "What is it? Do you have something else to report? Leave if you're done."Even though he was speaking to a gorgeous assistant, his tone was as icy as ever."Mr. Luther, there have been some unfavorable comments circulating online suggesting that Ms. Glen is not getting along with her colleagues in the production team," Amelie said.Liam paused his hand, which was writing something.He answered, "Alright, I got it. You can leave now."Liam immediately pulled out his phone after she left.Who would have imagined that Mr. Luther, a man who was renowned in business circles as a workaholic, would put his work aside because his beloved might be upset?However, Liam knew that he would sacrifice anything for Gwyneth.The call quickly got through
Luke quickly fled from the scene when everyone's attention finally shifted away from him.Aubrey smirked when she saw him run away in fear."Coward," she uttered, "now you know what fear is. That guy was so smug earlier."She even waved her fist angrily in the direction of Luke after she said this.Gwyneth said with a knowing smile as she gently patted her head, "Forget about him. I've ordered your favorite chicken wings. Let's eat."As Liam observed how happy the two seemed to be, a bitter feeling began to spread in his heart.'We've been apart for a while, but despite that, she continues to talk to her friend while ignoring me.'For the love of God! This was a baseless charge against Gwyneth. The two had not spoken for longer than two minutes.Liam was upset about being neglected. He said a quick goodbye to Aubrey, grabbed Gwyneth's hand, and walked toward the staircase.He had a private suite reserved upstairs.'Are you kidding me? I don't want to have dinner with so many
For a very long time, Aubrey had yearned to watch the show.Athenais Duguay, a superstar with international renown, made an appearance on the show. She had a large following, and Springville was dying to watch this show. The tickets were hard to come by, and the back row seats cost 20,000 dollars."No problem. By tomorrow, I'll have my assistant send them to you," Liam promised.He happened to have two VIP tickets given to him by Athenais. He continued, "I have two tickets with me. You can go with Gwyneth."When Gwyneth returned to the film set, she was in a foul mood.The lovebirds had been separated for a long time. She had hoped to spend more time with Liam, but they had to part ways so soon.Both Gwyneth and Liam did not know how to express their feelings. She missed him terribly, but she had no idea how to let him know, so she sulked by herself."Gwynnie, what's wrong?"Aubrey entered the room and immediately picked up on Gwyneth's mood."Nothing. I'm tired," Gwyneth re
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
