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
After interacting for the past two days, Gwyneth could feel that Wanda was a quiet young lady, and her sudden promotion to become the CEO's secretary made her try her best to erase her presence even more. Then again, her sudden outburst, excited over one of the company's projects, surprised Gwyneth."Do you know this place?" asked Gwyneth. Then, she saw Wanda turn around to close the large door to the meeting room like a thoughtful person would."My hometown is in Glacier Lake, Ms. Glen."Wanda spoke as she frowned, feeling conflicted. After all, she had just got promoted to secretary but was unsure if what she said would be accepted. Gwyneth was quite surprised when she heard what was said since coincidence doesn't happen so easily."Does that mean you are familiar with the situation at Glacier Lake?""Yes, I'm very familiar with it. That's why I felt that the project is unsuitable."Gwyneth was not surprised at what Wanda had said since she knew the project was as simple as ima
With a leisurely mood, Gwyneth slowly walked from the outer circumference of Glacier Lake into the heart of it. She gradually noticed a problem. When she greeted the locals and asked about interesting hangout spots nearby, they would happily reply. Still, they would change their expression and leave the conversation without reason whenever the topic of the project development project was mentioned.Gaspard's men, on the other hand, would always tail her from a distance away."Why are they following us, Ms. Glen?" asked Wanda. She felt uncomfortable, probably from having been tailed for the first time. However, Gwyneth acted as if nothing had happened. She lightly smiled and intentionally raised her voice, "Our colleagues from the marketing department, at their own expense, came to survey the development to ensure everything is flawless. Where else would you find someone as responsible as this?"After listening to Gwyneth, Wanda blinked a few times, 'Why does it sound so uncomfortabl
The wedding was set for early August, with one ceremony abroad and one in the country.Although Liam had proposed just before they tried her bridal gown, he still had plenty of romantic tricks up his sleeves. Even today, articles about them were still trending, just as he came true on his promise that everyone would learn that Gwyneth was his wife.It was a wedding like no other, and to avoid unnecessary issues, only close friends and employees from their respective companies were invited.For once, Liam's family was in full attendance, while no one from Gwyneth's family was present…-Glen Villa was in utter chaos as Bianca hurled insults at Gaspard, her usual gentle demeanor replaced by savagery. "See?! What did I tell you?! Gwyneth is an ingrate, and it's only now that you realize—you're her father, but you're not even invited to her wedding! What do you even amount to, Gaspard?!"Even as she ranted, she rushed up to beat him up.Furious, he shoved her away. "Stay away fr
Anyone would be melting from the charm of Harley's puppylike affection.Sadly for him, Gwyneth was not just anyone—she remained unaffected, and once he finished, she growled coldly, "I hope you'll remember that Liam is the only one for me."Harley felt a pang of pain over his chest and growled through his teeth, "If only I came to you earlier—""It still wouldn't be you," she said, looking him in the eye, each line more brutal than the next.And with those words, she refused to look his way as he returned to Liam.She thought that Henry had put together the banquet since his wedding with Aubrey was coming soon. Now, however, it seemed that Henry only wanted to set up a meeting between Harley and her.Feeling weary inside, she leaned against Liam's chest and breathed, "I want a trip abroad to relax, Liam.""Abroad?" Liam had just that in mind, though he had planned that further in the future and for a different purpose.Her mentioning it herself unquestionably suited him. Gent
Gwyneth's attention, however, was constrained to the first part—bewitched in college?! Hell, she would have no idea Harley existed if not for Henry, let alone that he was Henry's cousin.And what did he have to do with her anyway?Shooting Liam a grumpy glare, she huffed, "Don't try to blame me for everything. I don't even remember what he looks like.""Really?" Liam asked, deliberately provoking her. In reality, he was initially upset after seeing the text, but Gwyneth's reaction delighted him to the last.Smiling, he asked, "So you're saying that I'm the only one in your heart?"In that case, why waste time?Also, Henry really had the gall to ask his woman to console his cousin!Sneering, he picked up Gwyneth's phone and called Henry, who urgently cried from the other end, "Did you see my text, Gwyneth? I really have no choice here… Harley's drunk, and he's been calling your name since yesterday. When he woke up just now, he—""So what?" Liam growled, cutting him short. "Yo
Liam Luther?! How could it be him?!Harley was left in disbelief. He was Henry's cousin, and even if they grew up in different places, he knew that Henry and Liam were friends for life.However, rumor had it that Liam had long since gotten married and loved his wife dearly. Could it be…Harley shelved the thought that occurred just then. Whatever the relationship was between Liam and Gwyneth or how reliant she was on Liam, the only thing Harley knew for sure was that he loved Gwyneth.His knuckles clenched at his sides for a long while as his eye flared once more. Without hesitation, he strode forward, cutting off Liam with his trademark sunny smile. "Greetings, Mr. Luther. I'm Harley Munroe, Henry's cousin. He spoke of you a while ago, so it's an honor to meet you today."Even as he spoke, his eyes never left Gwyneth, but he remained antsy even though he braced himself inwardly."Also, I'm wondering what's the connection here—""I want to go home, Liam," Gwyneth murmured before
After a restful night, Gwyneth returned to Greer College to meet up with Willa… Willa, for one, had placed high value on their meeting, to the point where she had postponed a class just so that they could discuss things without any interruption. Stirring her coffee, Willa chuckled as she muttered, “So, before moving on, let me apologize if I came off as snobbish the first time we met… I just have high standards since I want my work to be loved by many, you know? With that out of the way, let’s talk about the collaboration… I admit I like the plot, but… There are several conditions that you need to think about before we can proceed.” Nodding in response, Gwyneth found herself surprised that her demands weren’t outrageous at all. In fact, Gwyneth would’ve followed those principles even if Willa hadn’t brought them up! Though this was nothing to Gwyneth, it meant the world to Willa. After all, it was hard to find someone so honest these days, and she was rather grateful that she h
After putting some distance between them, Aubrey couldn’t help but ask, “…Are you sure she’ll agree…? If you need help, I do know a few scriptwriters that could easily replace Willa…” Sure, she had faith in her friend, but Aubrey seemed like a tough nut to crack… It didn’t help that there were so many other competent screenwriters out there to compete with! To her dismay, Gwyneth simply grinned and replied, “Don’t worry, I have a feeling that she’ll soon see things the way I do…” Just as Aubrey was about to sigh in defeat, a young man suddenly ran up to them and said, “Well hey there, ladies… Where to?” It was clear that he had his eyes on Gwyneth, and following a smirk, Aubrey replied, “Kid, you’re years too early to try hitting on us…” Sheepishly scratching the back of his head, the man muttered, “I mean, can I at least have your number…?” Naturally, Gwyneth wasn’t about to humor this person, especially since he was already starting to annoy her. With that, she simply sho
With that in mind, Gwyneth made her way to the author’s home… Twice, in fact. Both times, she was fully sincere with her persuasions… and with how determined she was, the author finally gave in and agreed to meet up. Pleased to hear that, she agreed and headed straight to Greer College straight after. If she wanted this to work, then she would need a professional screenwriter who shared her perspective on the job… Naturally, Gwyneth already had someone in mind. Willa Robson. With that, she quickly gave the college’s principal to ask for his permission to sit in on a class, and he agreed to her idea almost instantaneously. After all, it was an honor for someone of Gwyneth’s stature to ask for someone from his college! It was around then when Aubrey learned about what Gwyneth was doing… and frankly, she had a hard time processing things. After all, to think that her friend was taking all this so seriously! This was the same woman who used to only turn the television on to catch up
After leaving the villa, Gwyneth bolted straight for Director Motley’s house… and when she arrived, she realized that the family doctor was there as well. The doctor had met repeated failures whenever it came to scheduling a meeting with Gwyneth… But even though this was his chance to finally have a proper talk with her, he refrained. After all, he had already figured out that she was a woman who preferred keeping to herself, and since that was the case, he didn’t need to pry… Regardless, the two quickly began having a lengthy conversation regarding Director Motley’s health concerns, with the director occasionally contributing to the conversation when needed. Following that, Gwyneth began giving numerous helpful recommendations which eventually made Director Motley tear up a little. Shaking his head with a sigh of relief, the director muttered, “I really appreciate your help… Really, you’ve extended my life by quite a bit by just sharing all this…” “Hey, you’re going to make it
Having made up his mind, James began to find a way to apologize to Gwyneth.It turned out she had found a diretor she wanted for Moon Runners, but it was a newcomer who had only recently debuted and caused a tiny stir.James' expression contorted when he stumbled on the news.He had led countless film crews in winning innumerable accolades, but Gwyneth preferred some newbie over his illustrious achievements?! The woman was clearly blind!While he was certainly filled with ill will and was intent on seeing what Gwyneth could do with some novice director, he still had no choice but to apologize to her for the sake of his own future.However, Gwyneth had already anticipated his move—as soon as he called, she signaled for Wanda to put her on a YouTube livestream session.Oblivious to the fact, James repressed the humiliation he felt of begging mercy from a younger person and flashed a false smile. "Ms. Glen, I apologize for being blind and insulting you before… but I heard that you'r
