Turning his back against the two, he pretended to glare at Judy as he mouthed the words, ‘Apologize first! I’ll explain later!’Alas, Judy was too hurt to notice his pleas, and even if she understood him, she wasn’t about to apologize to that b*tch in front of Liam!“You apologize if you want! I’m not doing such a thing!” howled Judy.“Judy-”“Enough is enough! Stop trying to cause a needless scene in my house and beat it! Liam clearly has no intention of cooperating with you!” snapped Gwyneth who had lost her patience. Naturally, Gaspard was infuriated to hear that! However… When he noticed Liam’s piercing glare, he quickly humbled himself and said, “…A-aren’t we family, Gwynnie…? Don’t you think the Luther Corporation should assign this project to a familiar party instead of outsiders-”“Do not make me repeat myself. Look, my man would never make such an unprofitable deal. What’s more, if he really collaborated with you, I’m sure people would immediately begin questioning his
After enthusiastically chatting a bit more with Gwyneth and ending the call, the pleased Abe couldn’t stop himself from posting the exciting news on his official Instagram page… and with how sharp Gwyneth’s fans were, they were swarming the post in no time flat!As the number of people who learned about it steadily increased, it was no surprise that Judy quickly became one of them. Rather than being outraged, however, Judy had a vile smirk on her face. After all, she saw this as an opportunity to finally get back at that b*tch!After a bit of planning, she began typing away at her phone… and soon enough, a new Instagram post began making headlines… It was titled, ‘Truth behind Gwyneth Glen and her Mentor.’The word ‘mentor’ was bolded, and with how suggestive it seemed, many were quick to click check the post out. The post insinuated that Gwyneth had used her beauty and seductiveness to get her master to boost her fame… and attached to the post, were several chat screenshots betwe
Speaking of Gwyneth, it was only on the next day that she finally learned of the viral post, though… Truth be told, had Abe not given her a call first, she wouldn’t even have bothered checking her phone. After explaining the situation to her, Abe sighed before adding, “…I’m afraid we’ll have to postpone the concert, Ms. Glen… Apologies, but the perpetrator is simply far too skilled at manipulating the public’s opinion… Speaking of that, we should give the people a quick response if we don’t want things to go haywire…” Abe, for one, was a huge fan of Gwyneth, and he greatly trusted her integrity. Alas, his trust meant little in this situation, and he knew that the best course of action for now was to take a step back… Regardless, Gwyneth had switched her computer on throughout their conversation to check the validity of Abe’s claims… and true enough, it was all very real. Many were already demanding that she leave the music industry, and… Since it was undeniable that Gwyneth was a
Either way, Gwyneth thought long and hard about making that call… and in the end, she reluctantly decided against it. So what if she confronted Judy right now? She had no solid evidence to support her claims, and Judy was shameless enough to never admit her wrongdoings. What’s more, that b*tch could probably use that call against her by twisting things here and there… Clenching her fists, she decided that the best course of action right now was to clarify things as soon as possible… and after some thought, she decided to get her master in on this. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for him to answer her call… “Oh? Now this is strange… My disciple would rather talk to an old man rather than her beloved…? Hmm…?” said the old, mature voice in a teasing tone. Feeling her stress slide off her shoulders a little, Gwyneth greeted him before quickly explaining the entire situation… and once she was done, she was prompted to add, “I have a rough idea of who the mastermind is, but… I can’t ex
Waiz was a nomadic man who loved traveling around, and… with how much he enjoyed new sights, Gwyneth was honestly a little worried that he’d end up getting distracted and forget the purpose of his trip… and upon arriving at the airport, she was thankful that she came over herself. After all, standing in the middle of a crowd, was Waiz sharing selfies with several people! The old man was stylish, to say the least, and his age only accentuated his elegance… and because of his striking charisma, many from the crowd had assumed that he was some celebrity in his prime, which led to the current situation… Feeling like he really had forgotten all about his promise to help her clear the scandal, Gwyneth took a deep breath before sending Waiz a quick text… and thankfully, he was quick to notice the vibrations in his pocket. Watching as he finally broke free from the crowd, Gwyneth sighed and waited for him to come close enough before whispering, “Master…! Over here…!” “Gwynnie? Didn’t I
Along the way, Liam received word from Gwyneth that she was bringing someone over, though he never expected it to be her mentor.He paused as he remembered all the comments online. Even if he knew that none of it was true, he still felt upset for some reason.As he flung his necktie on the couch in irritation, his thin lips twitched as he met Gwyneth's eyes. "Things are still flaring up online, but you'd still bring your mentor over. Did you consider that things would take a turn from bad to worse once word gets out?""I did think of arranging for him to live elsewhere." Gwyneth smiled apologetically, surprised that Liam would be concerned about that. "But you don't know the old man—he's so very stubborn for his age, and who knows where he would run off to if I didn't keep an eye on him."'The old man?'Liam stiffened at those words—he was constantly keeping tabs on what was being said online. Day by day, the netizens were shrinking the list of potential individuals who could be G
As Gwyneth swiped her phone to answer the call, her frustration was threatening to spill out right away. "Master—"Waiz spoke before she could, however, and his words were as staunch as they were righteous. "I get it, Gwyn. I shouldn't have slipped out while everyone was asleep, but I just wanted to take in the sights, y'know? And you know that I'm never the type who ever stays put."Gwyneth was left blue with shock, and she pursed her lips even as she tried to identify the noise from the background. "It's a delicate time, and there's no telling what you'd run into out there… Oh, forget it. Just tell me where you are. I'll arrange for a ride to take you back."Bringing him back to the mansion and explaining everything was certainly much better than arguing endlessly.Even so, Waiz was left stuttering. "I'm at… Uh…"If he knew where he was, he certainly did not have to call her!His slow response left Gwyneth scowling, though she relaxed as she realized what might be happening.
Gwyneth snorted in amusement, her eyes flashing coldly as she stared at the woman impassively. "Am I changing the subject, or are you the one slandering me using some comment you found online without proper evidence?"The woman began to panic for no reason, though she gulped and quickly composed herself. "What are you talking about? If it wasn't true, why didn't you make a statement? What is that if not a sign of your guilt?""I know what I'm doing." Gwyneth smiled nonchalantly, her cool gaze darting past her to the rest of the crowd.Whipping out her phone and brandishing it at them, she said, "I won't lie to you—I've recorded everything everyone here has said. So? Care to join me at the precinct and settle this directly over there?"Stunned that Gwyneth would pull such a move, the mob was at once furious.However, they were feeling guilty too since they did not have evidence to back up their claims. Even if they had, they had no right to meddle with Gwyneth's personal life!A
