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
Since Gwyneth was not talking, Liam appeared at once frustrated and flustered. Worried that Gwyneth would refuse to understand and walk away, he said, "Look, I don't mean to blame him, but—""I get it." Gwyneth sighed exasperatedly and nestled in his arms. "I knew this might happen when I asked him to return. I wouldn't have asked you to arrange for your people to watch him otherwise, though he's not deliberately acting blind to my problems either. Still…"There were reasons she could not go into detail about it, especially regarding the fact that she insisted Waiz join her at the concert.Her main motive was to set him free from his longtime mental burden too.Her lips twitched as she stopped herself, lowered her gaze, and said, "I'm sorry for not talking to you before and causing you to worry."Liam stayed silent, though his arms tighten around her—he would worry about her in every waking moment even if this never happened. It also never sat well with him should she suffer i
Waiz smiled in embarrassment, unable to argue against what Liam said or perhaps having no idea where to start. After all, he had only agreed to help Gwyneth in the heat of the moment without giving it real thought. As such, he quietly took slow sips of the tea Liam's secretary brought while Liam did not urge him to hurry since he held seniority. After a long while, Waiz finally realized that Liam was not about to let him go, obviously wanting a definitive response from him today. Waiz sighed at the thought—why were kids so stubborn these days?Finally putting away the tea, he began exasperatedly, "I agreed to Gwyneth's request to make a statement, but I realized afterward that I'm not the right person for that since I'm one of the subjects in the scandal. In fact, I became even more sure about that after meeting you—you have what it takes to uncover the culprit manufacturing the entire scandal. Would it really still be an issue if you dealt with it?""The solution has been righ
The rest of the concert was a feast both visually and musically—the audience certainly forgot about gossiping as the piano's melody mesmerized them!When the performance was over, Gwyneth made a statement on Twitter to say what she could not before. She added that should the instigator of the scandal persist, she would resort to legal measures to protect her personal rights, even if it meant fighting to the bitter end.And once her statement was tweeted, the smarter netizens were sharp enough to smell the danger insinuated.After all, Gwyneth was speaking as if she already knew who it was!As for Gwyneth's fans, they certainly remembered the many insults and flaming she suffered for a while now. Outraged, they all tweeted their hopes that Gwyneth would publicize her findings.-As Wanda entered the CEO's office of AMC Group and placed a document on Gwyneth's desk, she glanced at the other woman's beautiful face before asking, "The netizens are all calling for you to reveal the id
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! This was the same woman who used to only turn the television on to catch up
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. Shaking his head with a sigh of relief, the director muttered, “I really appreciate your help… Really, you’ve extended my life by quite a bit by just sharing all this…” “Hey, you’re going to make it
Having made up his mind, James began to find a way to apologize to Gwyneth.It turned out she had found a diretor she wanted for Moon Runners, but it was a newcomer who had only recently debuted and caused a tiny stir.James' expression contorted when he stumbled on the news.He had led countless film crews in winning innumerable accolades, but Gwyneth preferred some newbie over his illustrious achievements?! The woman was clearly blind!While he was certainly filled with ill will and was intent on seeing what Gwyneth could do with some novice director, he still had no choice but to apologize to her for the sake of his own future.However, Gwyneth had already anticipated his move—as soon as he called, she signaled for Wanda to put her on a YouTube livestream session.Oblivious to the fact, James repressed the humiliation he felt of begging mercy from a younger person and flashed a false smile. "Ms. Glen, I apologize for being blind and insulting you before… but I heard that you'r
