With all the drama behind her now, Gwyneth's life was back on track.

One could actually argue it always had been on track if not for the couple of people who could affect her, with Liam being one.

-

There was a knock on Gwyneth's office door, and Aubrey soon showed up smiling and cheerful as always. "My dear Ms. Glen—it's now 12 PM. Time for lunch, remember that you're only human! Come on, there's this new restaurant with Michelin chefs. Let's try it out. It's my treat!"

Gwyneth, however, knew her long enough to know what she was up to as soon as she spoke.

"Out with it already. What do you need my help with?"

"Haha! You know me best, darling! Come on—let's go for lunch, and I'll tell you along the way."

Time waits for no man, and Aubrey was one who valued time greatly.

It turned out that she was invited to a dance competition, and she wanted to take first place even if she was a great dancer.

And since the competition allowed her to dance anywhere, she decided she would do

    Henry could not bring himself to scold Aubrey when she was in that condition, and his angry visage cooled, leaving only love and pain on his face.Gently straightening her hair, Henry gave in and said, "Promise me that you'll diet within reason—not like this.""Roger! It won't happen again!" Aubrey was too chipper to see that he was calm and promptly tried to salute him, forgetting that she had an IV tube attached to her wrist.The sudden pain left her grimacing. It hurt Henry to look, and he quickly called in a nurse to help fix it.After staying the night for observation, Henry got her discharged the next day, unable to resist her cajoling. He volunteered himself to be a delivery man to ensure that she was properly eating and dieting healthily. No matter rain, sleet, or snow, he would deliver food without fail if Aubrey was practicing.Each meal was personally arranged by a Michelin star chef as well, whereas Aubrey's dance improved after training for a while.And thanks to t

    Gwyneth could feel Root's thrill even from the other end, and any hacker worth their salt knew what he was talking about.She was furious at the time too and destroyed that hacker with clandestine means, since she could not reveal herself yet, making him vanish in a week—only Gwyneth knew where he was now. It was the past to her now since she had already restored her nation's pride and was surprised that it left such an impression with Root.She was going to tell him the truth, but Root spoke before she could, "I didn't call you on a whim, Ms. Glen—I'm dead sure you have what it takes to make our country's fellow hackers proud!"Then, as if worried that Gwyneth would not agree to it, Root added, "Right now, there are plenty of people abroad who are belittling us! We can only improve ourselves in silence because our work is special, and now the time has come! I'm begging you, Ms. Glen—you have to take part!"He was certainly encouraging, and Gwyneth would be lying if she said she

    Root arrived soon after they did, and Liam texted him the address just as he and Gwyneth left the house.A look was all it took for him to communicate with her thanks to their powerful bond!Naturally, the ensuing week was an exceedingly busy one for Gwyneth, since she had to train Root and rehearse with Aubrey.Still, it was fulfilling work with delightful results, since Gwyneth's mentoring improved Root's abilities as a hacker by leaps and bounds, though he was still far beneath her and defeated over a dozen times.Bzzt—Gwyneth's phone vibrated, interrupting the silence in their training room. Seeing that it was Aubrey, she answered, "What's up, Aubrey?""Get over here, Gwyneth. This is a matter of life and death! I've already sent you the address—I'm waiting!"Gwyneth turned serious since she heard the urgency in her voice—would it kill that runt to say what was happening?"Did something happen, Ms. Glen? Do you need my help?" Root asked, ready to serve since he saw the loo

    The air was rife with tension, but Simon laughed loudly, breaking the silence in just five seconds. "Haha! You're such a comedian, Mr. Munroe! Fire extinguishers in this day and age? But if you want, I have other gifts in store."Henry was certainly smart enough to get his meaning, though he was also curious what Simon was up to after almost killing one of his men.One of Simon's lackeys then threw a stack of photos in front of Henry, but Simon snapped at him, "Watch it! He's a CEO—you should know enough to show delicacy around him!"He even gave the man a nudge with his foot before arranging the photos on the table neatly and pushing it toward Henry. "Everything here is HD," he said with a sly look in his eyes.His 'friendly warning' was not lost on Henry, and he slammed his hand on the table as he sprang to his feet and grabbed Simon by the collar! How dare he set up his brother-in-arms! "Tell me, what do you want?!" Tensions skyrocketed in the room due to his reaction, b

    Gwyneth said, "Gather all the evidence."Root inserted a USB stick into his computer and went to work in an instant, though it took him ten minutes this time."Done!" He pulled out the USB stick right after and handed it to Gwyneth, at once nervous and hopeful.She was a divine being to him, and her critique was his lifeblood. "Acceptable," she said calmly, sparing him a glance.Aubrey thought the single-word reply was exceedingly harsh of Gwyneth. Surely Root's performance was far better than 'acceptable'! And yet, Root could barely hide his excitement for some reason…One's assessment differed from where one was standing—from Gwyneth's point of view, Root's performance was passable before his training.Now, he had improved by leaps and bounds in a week—not everyone could do that.Nonetheless, they certainly had the advantage now that they have leverage against Simon, but it was not the time to be content just yet.To prepare a devastating ambush against Simon, Henry kept

    Aubrey snorted disapprovingly from the crowd, "Just look at Henry, acting all high and mighty. The credit should've been yours, not his. What a braggart!"Gwyneth tapped Aubrey's head, but she had a nonchalant look on her face.…The date of the hacker competition was approaching.Two weeks later, Gwyneth and Liam personally escorted Root to the airport.She gave the boy a reassuring look and said, "Good luck. I believe in you.""Don't worry. I'll do my best to make our country proud," Root replied, and he solemnly nodded.After Root boarded the plane, Gwyneth finally left the airport with Liam.Liam asked as they walked out of the airport, "So, can we do that tonight?""Do what?" She replied.His question struck her as random.Liam remained silent but gave her a look. The strong lust in his eyes was impossible to miss. "No!" Gwyneth swiftly stood on her tiptoes and covered Liam's mouth with her hand.He asked with a frown, "Why not?"'Lately, she's been awfully busy.

    A music concert was underway.After hearing her assistant's account, Gwyneth responded with frustration, "Who gave you the right to inform Hayden about my location? Do you still want your bonus for this month?"With a cheeky tone, Wanda replied, "Hehe, don't be mad. I just wanted Mr. Luther to feel a sense of urgency. Wait, did I just hear someone calling your name? Is it time for you to go on stage? Well, you should go ahead, I'll hang up now."Wanda quickly cut off the call to Gwyneth's annoyance.Her ears had not deceived her. Someone was calling for Gwyneth.…She took a deep breath to regain her composure after the brief call.Tonight, she was set to perform a piano piece at the concert.When she sat down at the piano, she was fully focused and thought of nothing else.The moment her fingers touched the keys, it seemed as if she channeled a unique magic through the instrument. In that instant, the piano seemed more than just a musical instrument. It felt alive, resonati

    The large mirror inside the restroom reflected Gwyneth's face clearly.She spat out the coffee in her mouth and rinsed to ensure that there was no aftertaste before turning off the water tap.A mocking smile appeared on her face.She thought to herself, 'Haha, did he think this petty trick could work on me? Dream on! But he did show up at the concert with a group of thugs. Clearly, this man has ill intentions. I don't want trouble, and I won't spare him either. He's the one that's asking for trouble. Why should I let him off the hook?'Gwyneth arched her brows. She took out her phone and shared her location with Liam.Without his beloved wife by his side, Liam was spiritless.Every time he closed his eyes, all he would see was her.His phone rang, and the phone screen displayed Gwyneth's location.Based on the tacit understanding between the two, Liam could guess that something had happened at the concert without her saying much.His demeanor turned glum.Decisively, he made

    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?

    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!

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.
