Liam didn't confirm with Gwyneth or inquire further before decisively agreeing to help her. It caught Gwyneth off guard, as she hadn't anticipated such a swift response. Although she referred to it as her "reward," deep down, she knew it was merely an excuse or a pretense.Having been together for three years and being the CEO of AMC herself, Gwyneth couldn't be oblivious to Liam's powerful and efficient approach to business matters. The Luther Corporation was known to strike fear into the hearts of small enterprises with just the mention of its name. And as for Liam, his enigmatic aura alone could leave anyone gasping for air.Gwyneth never expected that Liam, with all his intensity, would agree to her so effortlessly.Though doubts lingered in her heart, she found herself unable to articulate them. Liam had extended his assistance, and her gratitude ran deep. Yet, Gwyneth understood that any future interactions with him would likely be confined to the realm of corporate affairs.
In a moment fueled by alcohol and her swirling emotions, Gwyneth found herself unveiling her vulnerability to Liam, a step she had never taken before.The act of dealing with her own father, Gaspard Glen, was an agonizing experience, made even more unbearable by the unsettling fact that Gaspard appeared to relish in it."You used your power to strip away his authority and resources," Liam spoke up. "How could he simply let it slide?"Gwyneth looked up and gazed at Liam in front of her. He had a gentle expression in his eyes. The rays of the evening sun streamed through the window, casting a soft, radiant glow upon his cheek.Suddenly, Gwyneth felt like she was being melodramatic, never before had she let her emotions get the best of her. After all, since her mother's passing, her relationship with the Glens was nothing more than enemies with blood connection.Gwyneth seemed lost in thought for a while, and Liam started to feel a bit uneasy. "Why are you looking at me like that?" h
As Liam's words came to a halt, a wave of astonishment swept through not just Chuck, but even Gwyneth was caught off guard. This was no trifling matter, and humor had no place here. The gravity of the subject demanded utmost seriousness."Mr. Luther, uh..." Chuck blinked and looked at Liam, involuntarily swallowing his saliva. After all, Luther Corporation had never participated in a project collaboration like this. But if Liam really decided to get involved, the funding and the process would undoubtedly be more stable."Mr. Luther," Chuck stammered, his eyes widening as he turned to face Liam, his throat involuntarily swallowing hard. Luther Corporation had never ventured into such a collaborative project before. But if Liam was truly committed to this endeavor, it would undoubtedly bring stability to the funding and the entire process.With a firm voice, Liam proposed, "What do you say? If Luther Corporation joins forces with us, we will make certain that the project is completed
Elizabeth's eyes were moist as she spoke. She thought that appearing like this might soften Liam's heart. But to her disappointment, she waited for what felt like an eternity, yet Liam never uttered any words of persuasion. He didn't even make an attempt to stop her as she turned to leave. This transformed her feigned sadness into genuine heartbreak.Elizabeth tightly gripped her handbag, hesitating for a moment before finally turning away.If an onlooker were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly feel sympathy for Elizabeth. However, Gwyneth had grown accustomed to seeing Elizabeth in such a state. In comparison, it was the reaction of the man beside her that intrigued her."Hey..." Gwyneth began.Liam was just about to leave when Gwyneth's sudden remark caught his attention, causing him to pause in his tracks. "What is it?" he asked.Gwyneth blurted out her words without thinking, her brain feeling like it had gone haywire. She couldn't quite comprehend why she was sayin
As Gwyneth spoke, she placed her phone directly in front of Liam, wanting him to look at something in the phone.Liam picked up the phone and examined the images on the left and right. Although there were no explicit labels, the contrast was evident, something anyone could discern. He asked, "Are all the scars like this?"Gwyneth replied, "Every scar may have some variations, but the fundamental elements remain the same."Liam had no doubts about Gwyneth's medical expertise. However, the last trace of doubt now fell upon Elizabeth. In fact, from the beginning of the investigation until now, the clues and evidence had gradually become clear.But deep down, Liam still believed in Elizabeth, after all, they had known each other for so many years. Even though he was well aware of the thoughts Elizabeth had about him, he dismissed it. He believed that Elizabeth's intentions were pure and that she wouldn't deceive him.The more Liam delved into his thoughts, the more he became tangled a
"Absolutely, no problem at all," Alan hurriedly nodded and mustered a forced smile, feeling intimidated by Gwyneth's commanding presence. Despite his reservations, he knew he had to persevere and handle the matter diligently.Once the onboarding procedures for Jonathan were completed, Gwyneth accompanied him out of the HR department."It's been a while since we last saw each other, and I almost forgot how efficient you are in the workplace," Jonathan teased.Gwyneth chuckled softly in response to Jonathan's jest and replied, "If I were even slightly weaker, these leeches would have devoured me long ago."Jonathan was well aware of the challenges Gwyneth had faced. Hearing her speak about it with a lighthearted tone now, he felt a mix of sadness and relief. "Be prepared, there are still plenty of hurdles ahead," he cautioned.At that moment, they arrived at the entrance to the CEO's office. Gwyneth handed Jonathan the documents she had been carrying, and their brief exchange of gla
Gwyneth appeared deeply moved by the shareholders' "generosity". Her acting skill was so convincing that she almost believed it herself. After she personally saw them off from the office, her smiling face vanished instantly.Gwyneth stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in her office, watching them leaving. She picked up the phone and dialed Wesley's number. "Send someone to track those old shareholders. Not a single one should escape."Wesley always complied with Gwyneth's instructions without question. He never asked why.The next day, Gwyneth received the message from Wesley's team. The message was sent to her email, and upon opening it, she discovered an audio file. It was evident that the file had been processed by the technical staff as the dialogue within was exceptionally clear, devoid of any background noise.One person said, "Mr. Glen, your daughter is quite capable.""No doubt about it. She managed to investigate all your dealings so quickly," another person remarked.T
As Elizabeth spoke, she went around the office desk from behind. If Liam had been observant enough, he would have noticed the layer of sweat on Elizabeth's forehead."Don't stay in my office for too long when I'm not in it in the future,"Liam did not suspect what she said at the moment. He was merely stating his orders properly. However, his casual remark sounded different in Elizabeth's ears. Her body wobbled when she heard it. In the end, it was Liam who swiftly held her by the arm."Are you unwell?" Liam asked."No, no. It's just that I didn't sleep well last night. You can finish your business, Liam. I won't bother you for now," Elizabeth said, trying to break free from Liam's hold. She then ran around to leave.However, she did not expect the sound of Liam's voice calling for her from behind, "Elizabeth..."Elizabeth quietly fiddled with her fingers. She turned around to look at Liam with a forced smile."I'll help you contact someone to do the scar removal surgery. Don't
