He had let her down, and she decided to give up on him.'It turned out that it had just been wishful thinking all along. My struggles and pain were nothing but a joke.'"Don't come looking for me. I don't ever want to see you again."The two of them looked each other in the eyes. Her eyes had a seriousness that Henry had never seen before.Aubrey left the bar immediately after she finished speaking.The bar was crowded, making it hard for them to move. Henry's large stature makes it more challenging for him to pursue Aubrey.He felt like a cat on a hot tin roof. He grew extremely anxious as he saw her run away from him. He started to push away the people around him to make his way through the crowd.He finally caught up with Aubrey in a nearby alley.He quickly seized her hand. He was oblivious to the reason, but he sensed that if he let her go now, he would lose her forever.Aubrey shook his hand off and asked, "Henry, is it fun to play me?"He hurriedly replied, "I never
Liam looked at Gwyneth, who was frowning.He comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I've heard that Henry left the shareholders' meeting last night without warning. Knowing him, he most likely went to find Aubrey."Gwyneth grew even more worried. She sighed and said, "That makes me even more concerned about her.""I'm curious. Why are you against them being together? I think they're a good match," Liam chuckled as he encircled Gwyneth from behind."I'm not sure if Henry truly cares for Aubrey given his character and his past romantic relationships. My friend is different from the other girls he dated. I'm worried she might get hurt," she explained.Liam countered with an arched eyebrow, "Well, what goes around comes around. Eventually, he will be someone's captive. I believe Aubrey has that power."Gwyneth replied mockingly and cast a playful glance at Liam, saying, "Yes, the same thing happened to you."Liam was helpless. He wondered, 'How did this end up being about me?'"You'v
Liam was sitting on the side and saw the contents of the letter.He was slightly taken aback. He had a hard time imagining Gwyneth mentoring others. She was popular among her pupils.He wondered how many more talents she possessed that were unknown to him. Every time he felt that he knew all about her, she never failed to surprise him.This woman was a bottomless well of wealth. Countless surprises were waiting for him, provided he was willing to dig.Gwyneth had many charms, and this was one of them. It was enigmatic and unfathomable, but captivating nonetheless.He narrowed his eyes a little. His feelings for her were only growing.No one could refuse someone who genuinely cared for them. Gwyneth was no exception.She was shocked to receive a handwritten letter from a student. It was a modest gift, but it had great significance. She was astounded by the fact that Rowan, the introverted student, had sent it. His words touched Gwyneth deeply.She picked up her phone to make
This reaction was not something Dawning Entertainment had expected.The fans were furious. They even chastised the company, accusing them of accepting bribes.Some fans criticized the company for its incompetence and urged the company to terminate their contract with Luke so as to not harm his career.Many of Luke's close friends and acquaintances came forward to support him.Instagram had become a battlefield where disputes had broken out between numerous parties. The platform had fallen into a state of chaos thanks to Luke's fans.The production crew also released a statement claiming that Gwyneth had nothing to do with Luke's contract termination. This statement did not help much and had little impact.The fans were proud of themselves. They thought they had achieved something significant. However, after a video was made public, they were utterly embarrassed.Henry was the one who had released that video. He even urged other artists in his company to share it.Within ten
Both Gwyneth and Aubrey's moods improved considerably once they started chatting, and they brought up various other matters too."I'm planning to invest into real estate at Queensbay," Gwyneth said."What?" Aubrey was puzzled. "Why Queensbay out of the blue? And real estate at that?""Stan's investing into a project. He just called me a couple days ago and invited me to invest.""Stan, as in Stan Poole? I can't say I can agree to it—the man's slippery as an eel." Aubrey snorted. The mention of that name sickened her already, though she soon noted the eerily sinister look in Gwyneth's eyes just then."I know," Gwyneth replied, since she was aware that Stan was no angel. That being said, it was normal to be calculative as a business person, not to mention that Gwyneth was not afraid of him. In fact, she had decided to invest because she knew that the government had given the permit, and properties with coastal views sold like hotcakes among the rich—they would suffer no loss fro
"Sure." Gwyneth nodded at Rowan.Despite his previously meek nature, Rowan became braver and more confident as filming progressed. He noticed Gwyenth and Stan bickering just as he and the production crew passed by and hurried toward them. Moreover, Rowan had always been grateful to Gwyneth, and he would not shy away when he saw Gwyneth being in trouble—he was certainly reliable in a pinch.In fact, Gwyneth's interest in the joint venture was killed altogether because of Stan's advances. It was a shame to give up, but she had other options. Moreover, she was the type who would destroy anyone who rubbed her the wrong way without compromise, and she could not stand the sight of Stan at the moment.As Rowan happily led the way, Rex noticed Gwyneth as well and hurried to her. "Good evening, Ms. Glen. What brings you here?""See for yourself." Gwyneth smiled.Rowan jogged up to Rex's side, whispering into his ear.Rex then looked up in surprise to glimpse Stan tailing Gwyneth. Turnin
Glitter was a showbiz company Liam owned. Every director knew it—in fact, many of them had tried but failed to get a sponsorship from Glitter.Naturally, with Liam personally offering it, Rex was certainly beside himself with joy. That investment alone meant both the production value and publicity would be brought to new heights!On the other hand, Liam was glowering after hanging up.Gwyneth, who was riding shotgun, had an idea of what happened since she heard his conversation with Rex. She felt weirdly guilty even as she looked at him, because there was no question that she started this whole mess and made him worry.She cleared her throat. "Liam."Liam shot her a look but stayed silent.Knowing that he was furious right then, she appeared helpless and seemed to forget to coax him. "Calm down. I know I was being thoughtless. I'm sorry.""Why did you meet him alone?" he growled. "He's a wolf in sheep's clothing—""But nothing happened. Just calm down, alright? I'll be more car
Gwyneth was very busy. After a photoshoot for an endorsement deal with Dizz, which she secured thanks to her showbiz success, she boarded a plane bound for Libertad.She was on a seat in the first-class section, wearing shades as she rested her eyes and mulled over the details of an upcoming tender. After all, AMC was interested in developing an amusement park in that plot of land, and she just happened to be heading to the tender venue.AMC was expanding in scale and operations, which occasionally left her tired, though it felt calming too. She developed a fondness for flying in turn, which afforded her silence as she enjoyed the view outside.Or she could just close her eyes to meditate like this, which was a luxury for any busy person.Soon, her flight landed in Libertad, and Gwyneth quickly composed herself and made a beeline for the hotel. No one could tell that she did not sleep for a couple days in that state.Still, she had just arrived when Liam called."How clingy…" she
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
