In the dead of night, Hayden got straight to work hacking into Waldo’s system… but unbeknownst to him, Gwyneth was two steps ahead of him. She had switched the files out as a trap, though she also made sure to get Waldo to create a backup plan… and with that in mind, Waldo was immediately alerted when Hayden initiated his ploy! Rolling out of bed with a yawn, he walked to his computer to see what was going on… and upon realizing what Hayden was doing, he instantly felt infuriated! To think that Hayden would deploy such unethical actions on his small company! This wouldn’t do! If it was a fight Hayden wanted, then it was a fight he was going to get! With that in mind, he quickly gathered all the breach evidence that he could before giving Gwyneth a text. She deserved to know what had happened! Since Gwyneth had been expecting something like this to happen, she easily awoke when she received Waldo’s message. After skimming through it, she quickly got to her feet to give him a call…
Following another death glare, Liam retorted, “As if!” After saying that, he stood in front of Gwyneth, completely blocking Hayden’s gaze. Throughout the exchange, Gwyneth didn’t say a single word, which automatically meant that she had no issues with whatever Liam had just said. Understanding that, Hayden simply chuckled before dusting his coat and walking off… Sure, he hadn’t attained what he wanted, but the fact that he managed to get Liam so riled up was pleasing enough for him. Speaking of Liam… Watching as the man stared disappointedly at her, Gwyneth quickly cleared her throat before explaining, “Before you overthink, please know that I never meant to hide anything from you. It’s just… I heard that you had some important things to attend to today, and I didn’t want to distract you…” She sounded genuinely remorseful, and after a while, Liam couldn’t help but grumble, “…At least let me know before you meet up with Hayden. Remember, you’re mine.” Truth be told, Liam was
Honestly, Hayden had been on alert ever since he left the café. After all, it didn’t make sense for Gwyneth to be so calm with the technology in his hands. With that in mind, he quickly returned to his hotel to scan through the data… and sure enough, none of the information remotely touched green technology! He had been duped! Now infuriated, the only thing on his mind was to give Waldo a piece of his mind…! Moving back to Gwyneth, she had a feeling that Hayden was already at the Spencer Group. After all, Wanda sounded quite frantic, and she had probably been notified by Waldo once he learned of Hayden’s arrival. Despite knowing this, she remained calm and simply replied, “…Continue keeping an eye on them. I’m on my way.” After ending the call, she glanced at the man who was still focused on his meeting… and at that moment, Liam looked up as well. Their eyes met for a moment… and after such an affectionate exchange of gazes, Gwyneth couldn’t help but smile before focusing on gett
At the end of the day, Waldo wouldn’t have had the guts to even stand up against him if Gwyneth hadn’t stepped in… and knowing that, Hayden really couldn’t care less about him. Following a sneer, he looked at Gwyneth again and said, “Regardless, do consider my offer-” “Refused. Look, I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but the Spencer Group? It’s now a branch of Glen Corporation. With that said, why should I negotiate something that I already own?” …Damn it all…! Feeling humiliated, Hayden was tempted to retort, yet in the end, he kept silent. After all, there was no winning against this woman, not now at least. With that, he left the room, allowing Waldo to finally take a deep breath of relief… Turning to look at his savior, he gratefully said, “Thank God you got here in time… I wouldn’t have been able to handle that vicious man for much longer… Um… Still. Though he’s backed down today, aren’t you worried that he’ll secretly target your company next…?” Gwyneth had expected
Following that conversation, the two had a passionate night… and with how exhausted she was after, Gwyneth simply left the luggage packing and plane booking to Liam. Alas, the fact that they were leaving in the morning meant that she couldn’t sleep easy, and she ended up forcing herself out of bed way earlier than she should have. Thankfully, she was able to get more shuteye on the plane, and only stirred once they were nearing their destination… Looking at his tired woman, Liam couldn’t help but ask, “You sure you don’t want to get a bit more rest…?” Hugging him a little, Gwyneth replied, “If only I could…” Feeling his heart skip a beat, Liam ended up cuddling with her until they finally touched down… and the second they were on land again, he quickly brought her to the hotel that they had booked. Alas, they had just completed the check-in when they bumped into a rather displeasing individual… Watching as Liam quickly pulled Gwyneth behind him, Hayden couldn’t help but smirk
“Bingo,” whispered the man who was glad that she could tell who he was so quickly. Before Gwyneth could even ask what he was doing here, he quickly added, “Sorry, I just… When you told me you were overseas, I immediately grew curious and after finding out that you were nearby, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to meet you… After all, we barely see each other…”Upon hearing that, all Gwyneth could do was sigh before letting the overjoyed man in. Just as he was about to give her a friendly hug, however, he froze when he noticed Liam’s bloodshot eyes glaring at him!Not wanting Liam to get all jealous again, Gwyneth shook her head before gesturing toward the sofa and saying, “Have a seat…”Watching as Gwyneth poured him a glass of water, ShadowCipher couldn’t help but wonder what Liam was doing here in the first place… Oh well, the last thing he wanted was to witness that man’s jealousy in action again… With that in mind, he cleared his throat before muttering, “Um… I’ve already fini
Naturally, Root’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing that! Taking a few steps back in his shock, he was quick to exclaim, “I-I refuse! It’s fine if you don’t want to guide me! I’ll just wait for Ms. Glen!”The only master whom he wanted to be his, was Gwyneth! Sure, ShadowCipher was on a whole other level too, but that didn’t give him the right to make such an audacious request!ShadowCipher himself was infuriated by that reply. After all, being someone who looked up to Gwyneth as well, he fully understood why Root was so hesitant to be under his wing! “Hah! I knew it! Listen up! Master only has one disciple, and that’s me! If she really wanted a second disciple, then she wouldn’t have passed you to me in the first place! Oh well, since you’re unwilling to be my disciple, then… Run along. It’s really no question whether she’ll choose to side with me, her disciple, over an outsider like you!” scoffed Shadow Cipher with a smirk. “You…!” growled the angered Root as he glared dagg
Gwyneth attended the exchange for that recycling technology in order to promote it to the world and make everyone remember that it was from their country. She had halfway succeeded with her speech, which left an impression with the leading figures across the country below the stage. But since she was already the AMC board chairwoman, poaching her by paying a king's ransom was clearly impractical—they could just buy the technology instead.Everyone was enthusiastic about it too, and someone stood from a corner and said, "I must say that I'm impressed with the recycling technology your company has developed. Why don't you name a price and sell it to me? We have the best production conditions available!"And with someone taking the plunge, the rest naturally would not hold back either."Ms. Glen, I'm willing to add more zeros to your state price until you're satisfied!""I'll double his price!""I won't be just paying. Let's work together, Ms. Glen!"Everyone was scrambling to out
