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
Within hours, Glen Corporation's shares plummeted violently and left many astounded. The media that were constantly keeping an eye on the stock exchange were all speculating about what happened, just as many experts were already predicting the company's doom.When Liam received the news on his phone, he somehow had the feeling Gwyneth had a hand in this.He was already worried since Gwyneth was late, and the news only fueled his imagination.Scowling and pocketing his phone, he hurried to AMC Group's office immediately.-The bruise on Gwyneth's head was not that serious, but once Wanda saw it, she stubbornly bandaged it instead. She had returned to the office when she was told that Gwyneth came back, concerned that there were issues with their standing projects. Instead, it was Gwyneth who had an issue—and the ones who attacked her were none other than the Glen family!The humanity! If Gwyneth was not a masterful driver, she would probably be dead!Not wanting to imagine furt
Wanda was left confused—did she make a mistake?She was certainly no fool, however, and awkwardly rubbed her nose as she said with a chagrined tone, "You'd rather Mr. Luther stay, Ms. Glen? He probably hasn't gone far. I could catch him right now—"Gwyneth was exasperated—who on earth would ask someone to return right after telling them to leave?"I'd like to be alone now," she told Wanda and returned her attention to the business at hand.It had now been an hour, and there was still no word from Gaspard.As such, Gwyneth resumed hostilities against Glen Corporation.At this rate, that company would soon be bankrupt—and it would break Gaspard's heart since this was his own company, not the one he had stolen from Gwyneth's mom.Be that as it may, Gaspard proved more tolerant toward Judy then Gwyneth thought. Even Gwyneth's obvious threat against Glen Corporation could not bring him to make Judy apologize.What a loving family!In that case, she did not mind letting the man watc
Bianca had been married to Gaspard for years, and she was his faithful companion even if their youthful passion had long since fizzled out.Leaping up to grab Gaspard by the collar, she screamed, "You're an animal, Gaspard! Judy and I have stayed with you all these years, and you'd disown Judy over some ingrate?!""What would you know?!" Gaspard had enough, and shoved her violently on the couch while cursing spitefully, "If Judy actually showed restraint and didn't push Gwyneth too far, Gwyneth would never have attacked Glen Corporation! Don't you get it?! Your baby girl is the reason our stocks are falling hard, and it's over for everyone if she doesn't stop!"Even Judy and Bianca were not that ignorant to understand what that meant, and Bianca's face fell as her sanity returned to her. "Are you serious?"Gaspard rolled his eyes—why else was he this upset?Still, he suddenly had an idea and shot Bianca a vague look. "Fine, you don't have to apologize, Judy. We can let Gwyneth cut
This time, Wanda was insightful enough to leave quickly before Gwyneth could say a word.After Wanda closed the door behind her, Gwyneth turned back to Liam—there was no doubt that she was touched by how Liam constantly cared for her.She also felt guilty as well, since she was always tied down by various things that stopped her from doing more for him.Sighing softly, she cleared her throat and sat straight as she murmured softly, "You just have to tell Wanda to do it. You didn't have to make a trip yourself."Her voice was low, but Liam was close enough to hear her clearly.Liam gulped as he chuckled. "Are you saying that it's no different having me or Ms. Lewis stay here with you?""You still have to work tomorrow."Did he not need his rest, going back and forth?Liam read her mind, however, and raised a brow. "So you don't want me to stay?"Gwyneth was speechless—she was just being coy after getting the goodies. However, she would be lying if she said that she did not wa
While Waiz was a manchild who constantly behaved erratically, he had never been this determined.Gwyneth's instincts told her that he was in a hurry to leave because he was hiding something, such as his physical condition.She had been profoundly worried about that, but since Waiz was not playing along, she repeated, "It's late, Master—you should get some rest instead. If you're really in a hurry, I'll make time tomorrow and go with you to get checked."Waiz's face fell, his cheeks flushing in sheer frustration as he came up with another excuse. "You brat! You're really that determined to mess with me, aren't you? You're banking on the fact that I can't discipline you because you're an adult, huh?!"If they really went to get him checked, the truth he worked so hard to hide would be revealed!Gwyneth, however, quietly met his gaze without flinching. "I'm not messing with you, Master. You'll always be my mentor, and I'm really doing this because I'm worried."Seeing that guilt tri
The two made up their minds and decided that Waiz had to accept the medical check-up.Waiz protested wildly throughout the journey, but the duo remained unfazed.They sped up and drove him to the nearest hospital."It's not a big deal. We don't need to make this trip to the hospital. Let's get home quickly. I purchased a flight ticket for tonight. The ticket money would be wasted if I missed the flight." Waiz came up with a slew of reasons to resist. As they approached the hospital, he continued to persuade Gwyneth.Gwyneth gazed at him, clearly frustrated.She had had enough of his nonsense."Now that we're at the hospital, do you think I'd let you go? Whether or not there's an issue with your health, having a medical check-up is always a good thing." Together with Liam, the two forcibly took him in for an examination.When the examination results were revealed, the doctor strongly recommended Waiz's immediate admission.A wave of disbelief washed over Gwyneth. Her mind tu
Liam experienced his heart tightening inch-by-inch.He drew her in and displayed great patience. As if comforting an injured animal, his hand moved gently up and down her back.He said nothing but let her feel his presence.Her sobbing eventually subsided.When she finally lifted her face, her tears were dampening Liam's white shirt.Somewhat embarrassed, she sniffled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."He swiftly drew her back before she could complete her sentence and escape his embrace."You don't have to apologize to me," he said, his voice filled with helplessness. "When you cry, it hurts me more than you. Can you tell me what happened?"A thought crossed Liam's mind, and he asked, "Did you cry because of Mr. Roffe?""Yes," Gwyneth said, burying her face in his chest once more.Waiz was resting in the hospital ward, but even if she tried, she could not possibly conceal the fact.She took her time choosing her words.After a while, she finally said with a choked
