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
As Liam moved to confront Buck with his team, it inadvertently alerted their adversaries.Another group of thugs, worried that they might expose themselves, decided to change the plan and leave with the drugs.They intended to flee from the scene, but other factors in play prevented them from escaping.Gwyneth smirked sarcastically.After she found the address, she checked the time. She realized that waiting for Liam's return was not an option given the urgency of the situation.Unwilling to sit still, she forwarded the location to Liam's phone.Alone, she left the concert and raced down the stairs to go after them.Shortly afterward, a black luxury car was parked horizontally in the middle of the bridge, effectively sealing off the gang's only route.The vehicles had no choice but to come to a halt.What took her by surprise was the presence of Digby Curry, the drug lord behind this deal, among the group.Upon pinpointing their location, she learned the details of Digby's gl
Blood gushed out from his forehead. The pungent smell of blood filled the air.After Digby was killed, his goons panicked. They raised their guns and fired wildly.Despite the police officers wearing bulletproof vests, they provided little help against them.After Gwyneth found a gun, she destroyed Digby's base and returned via the same route at top speed.Her sniping skills were impeccable. Every shot was aimed to kill, she took out one target with each shot.Her presence intimidated two of Digby's goons. After a momentary daze, they focused solely on taking her down.Two bullets were fired at Gwyneth.She dodged one of them nimbly while the other hit the car window. The shards of window glass just barely grazed her exposed skin.Liam saw this, and his pupils shrank drastically. He grabbed a gun and decisively took out those men.The last two uninjured goons finally fell to the ground.Some were killed, while others suffered serious injuries. The scene was chaotic.Af
Being her best friend, Aubrey could immediately tell that Gwyneth was feeling bored to death in the hospital and needed her help escaping… And after a grin, Aubrey was prompted to say, “…You know, I still need to alter my dress for the show… Would you like to come along to watch?” The answer was obvious, and after some quick discharge procedures, they were gone like the wind, much to Liam’s annoyance when he finally returned with some food! Rubbing his temples in the empty ward, the angered man got his phone out to give Henry a call… “Tell your girlfriend to return my wife…! Now!” Naturally, this left Henry shocked. What the hell? Shouldn’t he be the one demanding for Gwyneth to return his sweetheart? Regardless… Liam was a very jealous man, and it was best not to enrage him any further… With that, Henry told him that he’d deal with the situation before hanging up and giving Aubrey a quick text to ask where she was… Fast forward to about half an hour later, Henry arrived at t
