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
It turned out that Bianca was as smart as she was wildly ambitious.On the surface, she was a domestic goddess and perfect wife to Gaspard.In reality, she had been using her status as the man's wife for personal gain, establishing multiple enterprises and investing in innumerable projects behind Gaspard's back!But this time, she had to use a private account to bail Judy out. Reasonably speaking, Gwyneth should not be working an angle even if she wanted to get back at Judy. However, she was actually curious—how would Gaspard react if he found out about this?They had been annoying her repeatedly, and she certainly wanted payback now that she had a rare chance.Closing her laptop, Gwyneth whipped out her phone to make the call.-Gaspard was still in his office and about to clean up before leaving, only to get a surprise call from Gwyneth.Under the impression that she was calling about the project before, he could not help chuckling smugly. "Gwyn? How rare of you to call me—
Judy wanted Gwyneth to suffer, even if only temporarily, just so she would stop being so smug!As all sorts of ideas swam through her mind, she suddenly came up with a risky one.Why hold back? Why not go all out and just kill her?! She would always be an eyesore if she lived anyway! Her molars grinding, she headed to AMC Group's underground parking lot without delay. She slipped in while security was lax, eluding the cameras, and soon found Gwyneth's car… and sabotaged it.It was not at all obvious, and she left no evidence so that no one would ever trace it back to her.Whether Gwyneth survived in the end was up to her.That being said… It was best if she died, so that Judy could claim everything she owned, including Liam! Judy grinned sinisterly, baring her white teeth just then.-Gwyneth was certainly oblivious to the plan Judy believed to be meticulous, her attention placed fully on the meeting she was attending at the moment.Work hours were just over as the meeting
Gwyneth was not being particularly discreet about her hostilities—it was actually bait, and she wanted Gaspard to know.Soon, Gaspard's secretary found out that it was AMC Group that was attacking Glen Corporation and causing their stock to drop, and Gaspard almost had a heart attack right then.He grabbed his phone and dialed Gwyneth's number, snapping at her almost as she answered, "You're really getting full of yourself, Gwyneth! What do you think you're doing?! Stop it right now!""If you have the time to lecture me, why not spend it asking what your darling daughter did to me?" Gwyneth's eyes flashed coolly, her icy voice devoid of emotion."What are you talking about?!" Gaspard exclaimed, though his heart sank right then.He wondered if this was Judy's fault—that girl never had restraint. And she had just approached the tabloids to launch that smear campaign against Gwyneth days ago… and she was already out of line again?!However, Gwyneth was not about to tell Gaspard an
