Gwyneth appeared deeply moved by the shareholders' "generosity". Her acting skill was so convincing that she almost believed it herself. After she personally saw them off from the office, her smiling face vanished instantly.Gwyneth stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in her office, watching them leaving. She picked up the phone and dialed Wesley's number. "Send someone to track those old shareholders. Not a single one should escape."Wesley always complied with Gwyneth's instructions without question. He never asked why.The next day, Gwyneth received the message from Wesley's team. The message was sent to her email, and upon opening it, she discovered an audio file. It was evident that the file had been processed by the technical staff as the dialogue within was exceptionally clear, devoid of any background noise.One person said, "Mr. Glen, your daughter is quite capable.""No doubt about it. She managed to investigate all your dealings so quickly," another person remarked.T
As Elizabeth spoke, she went around the office desk from behind. If Liam had been observant enough, he would have noticed the layer of sweat on Elizabeth's forehead."Don't stay in my office for too long when I'm not in it in the future,"Liam did not suspect what she said at the moment. He was merely stating his orders properly. However, his casual remark sounded different in Elizabeth's ears. Her body wobbled when she heard it. In the end, it was Liam who swiftly held her by the arm."Are you unwell?" Liam asked."No, no. It's just that I didn't sleep well last night. You can finish your business, Liam. I won't bother you for now," Elizabeth said, trying to break free from Liam's hold. She then ran around to leave.However, she did not expect the sound of Liam's voice calling for her from behind, "Elizabeth..."Elizabeth quietly fiddled with her fingers. She turned around to look at Liam with a forced smile."I'll help you contact someone to do the scar removal surgery. Don't
Liam immediately stood up and put his phone back into his pocket when he heard the sound of the door opening. He glanced at Elizabeth, then gazed probingly at the doctor. The doctor naturally knew what it meant. He nodded hastily, "Don't worry, Mr. Luther. The length of the procedure would be short and pose close to no risk.""That's good," Seeing that the doctor knew his place very well, Liam was assured."I've already called the hospital to prepare the necessary matters. You can be at ease," Liam said.When Elizabeth heard this, she felt very aggrieved. She took a step forward and grabbed Liam's sleeve. The doctor saw this, immediately stepped behind, and moved his line of sight elsewhere. He did not dare stare so carelessly, or else he would probably mysteriously one day."Liam, are you not going to keep me company here? I'm still a little scared, " Elizabeth said."There are still other matters that need handling at the company. When I'm finished with that, I will come and see
After that, Elizabeth could not hear the argument clearly. Her mind at that moment was only on Gwyneth's injury on her waist. The anesthesia was starting to take effect, and she could only feel her mind becoming foggy.Her thoughts drifted to the fire from many years ago. She knew about the fire and even saw it with her own eyes. However, the person who saved Liam was not her.She shut her eyes tightly with her brows furrowed. She wanted to remember the face of the girl back then. Besides the mangled injury on her waist, her features and eyes slowly became more apparent.Elizabeth felt she could not breathe, as if she had finally been made aware of something, 'I didn't... I didn't expect that the girl back then would be Gwyneth...''No, I mustn't let Liam know of this truth. Never,' Elizabeth thought.The effect of the anesthesia gradually made her thoughts frozen at that moment. She slowly closed her eyes, but all that was left in her mind was Gwyneth's look of victory.At the s
After Gwyneth finished speaking, she sized up Judy's attire as if she just remembered something, "Would you look at that? I forgot. Regardless of what I said, you are still considered a manager. This is saddening; how can you not know any manners?""Gwyneth! What do you mean!" Judy had originally come in with rage since Gwyneth had come unannounced and became the CEO of the Glen Corporation.As a result of the back and forth, she noticed that she could not follow Gwyneth's train of thought. Gwyneth then said, "How could a manager not know that they can only enter the CEO's office after knocking and getting permission?"As she said this, Gwyneth got up and walked to the front of Judy. She looked at the nametag pinned on Judy's suit and huffed, "My good sister, you truly are something."If Gwyneth had said anything else, Judy would not have reacted. However, this sentence made her face flush red from anger. In Gwyneth's sentence, she had implicitly and explicitly mocked her lack of a
Hearing this, Wanda abruptly lifted her head and looked at Gwyneth with a face full of surprise. Some teardrops remained at the corner of her eyes, making her look pitiful yet cute."Why? Are you not willing?" asked Gwyneth. She took a liking upon seeing Wanda's current expression, stepped forward, and blinked her eyes."But, Ms. Glen, I've just graduated recently and am only here as an intern. I..."This young lady was clearly terrified by Gwyneth and could not even speak properly. In Wanda's eyes, if she did not experience this first-hand, this must be a dream too good to be true."I know, I know. Just tell me if you're willing to or not," said Gwyneth with her arms crossed. She continued to exude her own unique charisma toward Wanda."O-Of course, I'm willing to. But I don't know what to do in that position and would burden you, Ms. Glen.""Wouldn't everything be fine with just an 'I'm willing to'?"Hearing a satisfactory reply, Gwyneth took Wanda by the wrist and entered the
Bianca was busy thinking as she lightly patted Judy's back to calm her down. After a while, the light in her eyes suddenly lit up."That's right, baby girl. Mommy just remembered something your father told me a while back.""What is it? I don't want to know anything else except for the company's daily business."Judy calmed down after her tantrum as if she had vented most of her anger and no longer wanted to talk. In the end, Bianca leaned closer to Judy's ear, cupped her hands between her mouth and Judy's ear, and softly whispered to her."Dear daughter of mine, let me tell you. That Gwyneth's CEO position may not be for long."Judy suddenly got excited from hearing this and immediately grabbed Bianca's hands to reconfirm what she had heard."Really?! What happened?""Your father told me a few days ago that he was coming up with a plan with the directors of Glen Corporation to set up Gwyneth."Bianca could not help but reveal her excitement after saying that. She explained the
"Tell the Board of Directors that the meeting will start at two o'clock, afternoon, sharp in the meeting room." Wanda nodded and was about to head out to prepare the order but was held back by Gwyneth."How is it? How are you coping with your first day as a secretary?"Gwyneth's expression had now returned to her gentle demeanor. She was chatting casually with Wanda as if nothing had happened in the first place. Wanda gave a bitter smile as she heard the question."Ms. Glen. I only started this role about two hours ago. That's why...""Right. You seem fine these past two hours..."Wanda received praise so easily and did not know how to respond. She could not help but think that her days at the company would be full of trials and would definitely not be boring. With the remaining half an hour, Gwyneth took Wanda by the wrist and taught her to brew coffee.Gwyneth had done it with a few reasons in mind. Firstly, it was to let Wanda get used to the feeling of working for her. Second
