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
Judy's eyes were red as her nails dug into her own palm, her eyes glaring so hard on the screen as if to bore a hole through it.While she was filled with seething hatred for Gwyneth, her creditors came looking for her even before she could retaliate.In fact, the very sight of the number on her phone screen left her springing to her feet in her panic. She fumbled to decline the call, only to answer it by accident."Well done, girl! You actually answered!" The man laughed coldly from the other end, clearly having lost all patience with her. "I was so ready to call your home knowing that you're gonna play dead!"Judy gasped—if he did, Gaspard would find out!"No! Don't you even dare!" she snapped."That's not for you to decide, missy," the man chuckled in disdain, his words especially stinging. "Don't forget that when you contacted us and had us go public with that scandal, you promised that we'd make a killing. And now? It turned out to be fake news, and we almost ended up gettin
