However, Gwyneth suddenly felt a sharp prick from her ankle and had to clench her jaw to stop the gasp that threatened to escape her lips.

She leaned against a tree and slowly dropped to a crouch. Under the moon's glow, she saw that she had walked into a bear trap!

She had been completely focused on the mastermind and did not notice the trap. If she did not get out of it soon, she would be at a disadvantage.

Gwyneth took a deep breath as she ran through all the possible scenarios through her head before calming down and slowly moving without drawing attention.

Coming to a stop, she studied the bear trap and found it to be quite heavy. It has a vice-like grip on her leg, and she had no tools—she could only use both her hands. Focusing her strength to one spot, she pried it firmly…

"Awooo—"

A wolf's howl resounded clearly across the wastelands.

Animals were innately drawn to the scent of blood, and they had an exceedingly strong sense of smell. Even if Gwyneth tried to hide, she

    The mastermind was not backing down just yet. Clenching his fist, he pushed himself off the floor to keep fighting, only to cough up blood as he got up.His eyelids were getting heavy and he was losing consciousness, too drained to tough it out against Gwnyeth. However, Gwyneth blacked out as well, her head wobbling a little before her knees caved, and she dropped to the floor.-The gunshots finally stopped after half an hour, and the stench of blood swirled in the air."Where's Gwyneth Glen?! Has anyone seen her?!" the commander barked after doing a head count.His detachment was immediately on alert. They had taken down all the smugglers, but Gwyneth—who was supposed to capture the mastermind alive—was missing.How was the commander supposed to explain that to his superiors?!Swapping his gaze over his men, he barked sternly, "Start searching for her!"-Standing outside a diner, ShadowCipher stared at the black car that slowly headed into the distance. Still, it was al

    Regardless of how Liam made it there, Gwyneth was forced to face him. Seeing that he was her husband, the commander was obviously intent to provide a warm reception and apologize in turn. However, he tactfully kept quiet when he noticed the look in Gwyneth's eyes."I won't impose since someone's visiting, Ms. Glen. Just call for me if there's anything you need," he quickly said, and disappeared soon enough."You. Out." Gwyneth growled, narrowing her eyes.It went without saying that she was talking to ShadowCipher, and he obeyed her orders knowing from her glare that he messed up.He ran into Liam as soon as he stepped out, and shot him an indignant glare as he remembered Liam tricking him. Naturally, he was afraid to say anything and tamely guarded the ward for the couple.Liam completely ignored ShadowCipher's glare and strode into the ward, not forgetting to lock the room behind himself.He was going to find out why Gwyneth was here, but his mind went blank when he overhea

    "We were so worried when we heard that you were hurt and were afraid you were in danger. It's been a while since you and Liam dropped by too, so why don't you come back for a bit and have dinner together?"Gaspard's tone was earnest, and his words were filled with concern for Gwyneth. Those who did not know would think that he was a good father who loved his daughter.Gwyneth, who was sick to her stomach, almost puked right then—even if they were not done with their act, she was sick of watching them!Putting down her glass and smiling vaguely, she said, "I really can't tell if you're trying to help your daughter hook up or if you're really inviting me to dinner, Mr. Glen."That instantly shattered the trio's meticulously prepared act of harmony. Gaspard certainly did not expect Gwyneth to be headstrong enough to humiliate him in front of Liam either!He flushed as Liam shot a thoughtful look at him, restraining himself as he gently rebuffed Gwyneth. "Oh, Gwyn—what are you talki

    Despite his words, there was nothing Liam could not do given his wealth and influence.And as Gaspard hesitated, Liam scooped Gwyneth in his arms, growling coolly as he walked past the other man, "What are you waiting for, Mr. Glen? Or are you perhaps willing to give up on Glen Corporation?""Liam, I—" Judy bit her lip, reluctant to give in and intent on giving chase."Stop, Judy!" Gaspard promptly caught her before Liam turned around—the cold look on Liam's face made it clear he was not joking! In fact, Gaspard was sweating buckets even though he could not wait to bring Liam under his thumb so that the wretched Gwyneth would suffer as much as possible.Even so, that was not going to happen now—they would instead get more than what they bargained for. But as long as Liam remained, he would always find a perfect solution.As such, he watched as Liam left with Gwyneth and growled, "Let's go home for now."-Gwnyeth leaned against Liam's chest as he carried her into the car.S

    In reality, the competition was already over—ShadowCipher was there precisely to discuss that."I get why you'd want to keep Root now, master," he admitted. "He's worth grooming, and in the time I've instructed him, he's shown both adaptability and persistence—typical traits of a gifted competitive hacker. He's made it to the top five too, which really surprised me."ShadowCipher was certainly emotional about the last part.Being in the top five globally meant Root had both become a pride of the nation and seized the attention of the world. ShadowCipher actually thought that he would not be a match for the boy during his younger years.However, that also meant future complications which might prove inevitable.ShadowCipher's expression turned grim as he added, "Actually, on the day the competition ended, I noticed several groups trying to draw him to their cause."There was actually a mystified look on Gwyneth's usually stoic expression, and she closed her laptop, unable to keep

    After having spent enough time with him, Root certainly thought that it was something ShadowCipher would do.The thought left Root smiling in wry amusement. He admired noble people like Gwyneth, and there was no way he would leave them for some other group. She was his ultimate ideal, after all.As such, he rejected every offer, but before he could log out, a new mail arrived.The sender used the codename S. [Don't reject me in a hurry, Mr. Root. Think of your friends and family.]Friends and family?Root replied in confusion: [What are you talking about?]The message was clearly sent, and he sat in front of his laptop while waiting quietly, but no reply came.Frowning, he dismissed it as harassment and deleted the chat, forgetting it as he revised a decryption technique he was practicing earlier.Eventually, he dozed off, and was woken up the next morning by an urgent ringing of his phone.He was left stumped to learn that it was a special delivery, since he never made any on

    There was no telling how they uncovered her identity as the wonder doctor, and they were asking for her help to treat a patient.While it was written as an 'offer', there was a clear demand in the tone. It was no different from the text Root received that ShadowCipher had described to her.And she was being asked to tend to a gunshot wound.If it was someone upstanding, they did not have to text her in private while also swearing her for secrecy. There were not that many people from illegal groups who had the gall to speak like that, and it might even be possible that they were from the same terror group.Gwyneth frowned as she returned to her mansion and picked up her laptop to investigate the issue further.Her hacking skills were unparalleled, and as her fair fingers accelerated over the keyboard, the IP proxy that the people thought impregnable was decrypted with relative ease.Just as she thought, it was the same terror group blackmailing Root and demanding that she treat th

    Out of desperation, Gwyneth felt compelled to wear the necklace and make her way to the remote suburb, as agreed upon in the email.A chopper boldly took position in the center of the road, its conspicuous "S" emblem radiating defiance.Gwyneth's earlier suspicions had been confirmed. It was the same organization that kidnapped Root and requested that she save someone.As she approached the helicopter, a few fully armored men awaited her by the cabin door. Spotting her, they greeted her and advanced, clearly intending to take her baggage.Their intentions were clear. They wanted her luggage.Gwyneth, raising an eyebrow, complied, handing over her bag. It contained medical references she frequently used, nothing more.They were curious, and she could not object.She observed coldly from the side. They unzipped the luggage and meticulously rummaged through her bag. After they were done, she was not eager to get it back.Feigning casualness, she inquired, "Since you need me there

    The wedding was set for early August, with one ceremony abroad and one in the country.Although Liam had proposed just before they tried her bridal gown, he still had plenty of romantic tricks up his sleeves. Even today, articles about them were still trending, just as he came true on his promise that everyone would learn that Gwyneth was his wife.It was a wedding like no other, and to avoid unnecessary issues, only close friends and employees from their respective companies were invited.For once, Liam's family was in full attendance, while no one from Gwyneth's family was present…-Glen Villa was in utter chaos as Bianca hurled insults at Gaspard, her usual gentle demeanor replaced by savagery. "See?! What did I tell you?! Gwyneth is an ingrate, and it's only now that you realize—you're her father, but you're not even invited to her wedding! What do you even amount to, Gaspard?!"Even as she ranted, she rushed up to beat him up.Furious, he shoved her away. "Stay away fr

    Anyone would be melting from the charm of Harley's puppylike affection.Sadly for him, Gwyneth was not just anyone—she remained unaffected, and once he finished, she growled coldly, "I hope you'll remember that Liam is the only one for me."Harley felt a pang of pain over his chest and growled through his teeth, "If only I came to you earlier—""It still wouldn't be you," she said, looking him in the eye, each line more brutal than the next.And with those words, she refused to look his way as he returned to Liam.She thought that Henry had put together the banquet since his wedding with Aubrey was coming soon. Now, however, it seemed that Henry only wanted to set up a meeting between Harley and her.Feeling weary inside, she leaned against Liam's chest and breathed, "I want a trip abroad to relax, Liam.""Abroad?" Liam had just that in mind, though he had planned that further in the future and for a different purpose.Her mentioning it herself unquestionably suited him. Gent

    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? I really have no choice here… Harley's drunk, and he's been calling your name since yesterday. When he woke up just now, he—""So what?" Liam growled, cutting him short. "Yo

    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! It was around then when Aubrey learned about what Gwyneth was doing… and frankly, she had a hard time processing things. After all, to think that her friend was taking all this so seriously!

    After leaving the villa, Gwyneth bolted straight for Director Motley’s house… and when she arrived, she realized that the family doctor was there as well. 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. After all, he had already figured out that she was a woman who preferred keeping to herself, and since that was the case, he didn’t need to pry… Regardless, the two quickly began having a lengthy conversation regarding Director Motley’s health concerns, with the director occasionally contributing to the conversation when needed. Following that, Gwyneth began giving numerous helpful recommendations which eventually made Director Motley tear up a little.
