Outside the company's entrance, Wanda had been waiting for her boss for quite some time. When she caught a glimpse of Gwyneth, she jogged over."Ms. Glen...""Stop! I'll see for myself."Gwyneth made a quick, conclusive remark before stepping inside the elevator and pressing the floor button.She quickly turned on the computer as she sat down at her desk and checked the data for Glen Corporation.As Wanda stated over the phone, Glen Corporation's financial chain was broken, resulting in significant losses.However, the unexpected investment they had received saved them from these losses.Glen Corporation's financier was not necessarily a large corporation.Since the inception of AMC Group, they had always conducted themselves discretely and never made enemies. No company would be foolish enough to publicly disagree with them about a failing company.Money like that would not fall from the sky.She remembered the recent discovery that Bianca had been secretly managing a busi
The weight of Bianca's revelation hit Judy like a truck.For a moment, Judy went into shock. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Is this real? You established a company in my name?""Sweetheart, when have I ever deceived you?" Bianca replied, her voice soft yet firm.She could not bear to see her daughter cry. She openly shared with her daughter the secrets she had kept hidden from Gaspard over the years.The amount Gaspard had taken away was merely a fraction of their wealth, less than a fifth.In other words, even if Gaspard failed and his company went bankrupt one day, the wealth they had secured would ensure that they lived a comfortable life.The magnitude of this truth was overwhelming for Judy.After what felt like an eternity, she managed to collect herself under the comforting gaze of her mother.'With such an inheritance, did I need to be intimidated by Gwyneth? Perhaps I can use this wealth to my advantage, bribe a few people, and plot against Gwyneth from the shadows.'
ShadowCipher was successful in connecting the dots.Liam had stopped looking for Waiz's whereabouts since his master entrusted him with the task. His negligence could not have been more obvious. Furthermore, he had not been dedicated to business matters.The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.ShadowCipher hacked into Liam's account.As expected, he had uncovered some footprints.Regrettably, his skills were far inferior to Liam's. Every attempt at decryption was futile. Gwyneth came to a halt abruptly on her way back to the office after a meeting at AMC Group."Ms. Glen, what's wrong?"Wanda inquired, perplexed. She thought Gwyneth had something for her to do, so she came to a halt and awaited her instruction."Get my car immediately," Gwyneth said, taking a deep breath. "I'm going to Luther Corporation."'I've been looking for him everywhere and overlooked the most important aspect of my search. Furthermore, if I discover that Waiz's disappearance has an
Though her words were casual, they hit the mark, and Aubrey’s expression instantly darkened with resentment. This left Gwyneth both helpless yet amused. She was spot on, huh? Slowly spinning the tea in her cup, she wondered how she could avoid rubbing any more salt into Aubrey’s wounds… Aubrey herself wondered if she should just tell Gwyneth the whole story… Would she be seen as overreacting? Maybe, but at the same time, Henry was entirely at fault here. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got… and in the end, she slammed her fist against the table while growling, “…He can’t blame me for being unreasonable! Not when he forgot such an important occasion…!” Pursing her lips, Gwyneth replied, “…For now, just calm down… What day was yesterday…?” Clenching her fists, Aubrey took a deep breath… and once she had regulated it a bit, she was prompted to mutter, “…Our first anniversary… I still remember how enthusiastically we had discussed the celebration back then… But in the
Unfortunately for the nervous woman, Gwyneth easily pried her wrist away from her grip and continued making the call anyway! “…Gwyneth? Is Aubrey with you? Please, if she is, then put her on call…! Please…!” begged Henry who had been worried about her ever since he woke up without her by his side. The hangover was bad enough, but when he finally realized what day yesterday was, his anxiety shot through the roof! “Is… Is she avoiding me because of the anniversary? If so, then I admit that it’s all my fault…! I shouldn’t have attended that meeting…! And I definitely shouldn’t have forgotten…! Please, Aubrey…! If you’re there, then please answer me…! You’re free to hit and scold me as much as you want, just…! Please don’t hide from me anymore…!” Unlike his usual carefree tone, Henry’s regret was evident in his voice, and this left both Gwyneth and Aubrey shocked. It took her a while, but Gwyneth eventually handed Aubrey the phone while whispering, “…Well, you heard him…” Though
Liam knew that Gwyneth was immune to any kind of sweet talk when she was this mad, especially if she was also feeling suspicious of him, but… He had to at least try to make things right, right? With that, he took a deep breath before leaning closer to her and saying, “…Um… Now that their issue has been solved, why don’t we head back to the office together…?” Squinting at him, Gwyneth simply scoffed, “As if I’d dare get too close to someone of your status, Mr. Luther… That aside, aren’t you worried that I’ll steal your company data? Hmm?” …Was she seriously bringing that up again… Damn it, if only he hadn’t agreed to keep Waiz’s whereabouts a secret! Shouldn’t he be prioritizing keeping his wife around in this situation?! With his mind made up, he was prompted to say, “…Fine! It’s my fault for trying to be secretive, so… Why don’t we head back to my office now so that you can check my laptop-” “Good sir, don’t you think that’s a bit too late now…?!” growled Gwyneth. He already
Galactech, for one, hadn’t attained the success that it had merely through its top-notch technology. In fact, most of it was because of Anthony Neel’s caution. He was a man who cherished his reputation, and because of that, he had chosen not to give Judy an immediate no, for fear that she would feel dejected. Alas, the damage had been done, and Judy, who had been keen on collaborating, couldn’t help but grit her teeth as she growled, “I’ll have you know-” “Apologies, but I’m rather busy at the moment… Until next time, Ms. Glen,” interrupted Anthony before hanging up, instantly causing the frustrated Judy to toss her phone against the wall! To think that that man would reject such an offer even after she had personally called him…! He really didn’t know what was good for him! Moving back to the AMC group, Wanda patiently waited for a project manager, who had been reporting something to Gwyneth, to leave before finally entering the office… “Everything appears under control, Ms. G
Not wanting to piss her off too much, Paul quickly forced a smile and said, “Not at all… I have faith in you, Ms. Glen.” Following a huff, Judy snatched the documents and began reading through them… But since she was so preoccupied, she failed to notice Paul sneakily slipping a voice recorder back into his pocket… The two left the café soon after on good terms, and as Paul made his way back to the office, he couldn’t help but feel queasy. After all, he was committing criminal acts right under his boss’s nose- “Paul?” asked a familiar voice, instantly sending shivers down his spine. That voice… It belonged to Wanda, Gwyneth’s most trusted associate and confidant…! If she were to get suspicious of him, then it was only going to be a matter of time before Gwyneth found out too…! Forcing himself to remain calm, Paul turned to face her as he replied, “Yes?” Faking a smile herself, Wanda then said, “Ms. Glen couldn’t find you this morning, so she told me to pass you this message… I
