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
