After receiving the message Gwyneth couldn’t help but squint. So there was more culling to be done, huh? It took her a while, but she eventually returned his message, stating, ‘Continue keeping a close eye on Paul, and be sure to let me know if he does anything fishy again.’ With that out of the way, she sighed before making another call… “I’m calling a meeting. Specifically for the department heads.” Fast forward to half an hour later, all the department heads could be seen seated around the conference table, with Gwyneth seated at the very front. After glaring at everyone, she cleared her throat before saying, “So… I believe all of you have heard about Gaspard’s company’s situation, correct? About how he had the audacity to continuously snatch our projects even though he founded the whole thing without proper authorization? Well, it’s a problem, and if any of you have any good ideas, do report them to me. That is all.” Following that, she left the room… and naturally, all t
Feeling more irritated than ever, Gwyneth took a deep breath and replied, “…Be careful who you underestimate.” With that, she turned to leave, causing Judy to clench her fists in rage. Why couldn’t that woman show fear for once…?! Regardless… she already had the proposal in her hands, so she was going to win anyway! That bitch didn’t want to heed her words, right…? Then this defeat was going to be all on her! Following that distasteful conversation, Gwyneth went off to meet Anthony. Little did Judy know that Gwyneth had been putting in even more effort to get him on her side. Not only had she privately engaged with Galactech’s staff to get a better understanding of their technology, but she had even gathered more internal information while having meals together with them. That eventually led to her discussing her thoughts with Anthony… and compared to Judy, their meetings were always pleasant. Really, had it not been for the necessity or proper procedures, Anthony would’ve alread
By the time Gwyneth was done with her proposal, Judy had already returned… and with how hostile her glare was, it was evident that the call had done little to calm her down. Anthony himself was glad that he had rejected Judy so early on. He had his doubts at first, but now that he had seen her true colors… Well, he was truly thankful that he had made that choice! As for Gwyneth… not only had she come up with an entirely different plan in such a short time, but it was even better than her previous one! There was zero doubt that signing a contract with her would bring him to greater heights! With that in mind, he glanced at the two other judges in the room… and even without saying anything, they simultaneously attained the same conclusion. Following a nod, he cleared his throat before saying, “Now, though both proposals were innovative… In the end, we’ve agreed that Ms. Glen’s proposal is more in line with our company’s requirements. Therefore, our final choice is-” “H-hold it…!” y
Sadly for Judy, Gwyneth was done playing around, and after effortlessly grabbing the furious woman’s wrist, Gwyneth scoffed, “I’m genuinely surprised that you aren’t feeling scared at all… After all, did you really think that you’d get off scot-free after stealing my proposal?” Feeling a shiver run down her spine, the wide-eyed Judy replied, “…W-what are you planning…?!” Simply sneering in response, Gwyneth let go of the insufferable woman’s hand before walking off, leaving Judy both enraged and terrified. It took her a while, but she eventually fished out her phone to make a call… “…Mom? I may need some help… Monetary wise…” Moving back to Gwyneth, she was immediately greeted by the sight of Root when she entered her office. He had a voice recorder in hand, which meant that they had more than enough evidence to charge Judy for plagiarizing. Adding that to the fact that Judy had recently tampered with her car, these two incidents would surely grant Judy the suffering she deserv
With her gaze brimming with admiration, Wanda nodded before heading off to do as she was ordered… Naturally, Gwyneth’s strictness immediately straightened out any potential parasites, and when the media learned about this, they couldn’t help but marvel at her assertiveness as well. Thanks to that, news about it soon reached Galactech, making the company surer than ever that Gwyneth was the perfect partner for them. Once the draft was completed, Anthony, who had been the most eager to get this over with, quickly flipped over to the last page, signed his name, and said, “May our collaboration be a fruitful one, Ms. Glen.” “Likewise. While we’re on the topic… Why don’t we hold another press conference soon? To announce our partnership to the public?” replied the authoritative woman with a faint smile. Since doing so would help promote the new technology and attract potential sponsors and investors, Anthony and the others had no objections, and the conference was quickly scheduled…
Liam and Henry were certainly birds of the same feather, as one would expect of childhood friends!In other words, why keep the men around when you have a rare moment of peace with your fellow woman?Aubrey promptly turned off her phone and dashed toward her wardrobe to start packing, while Liam was left rubbing between his brows. He stared at the room filled with balloons in silence—he was just faking forgetting his anniversary to surprise Gwyneth. Judging from the look of things, however, the entire plan had backfired.Not only was the woman going to run away, but she was bringing her bestie along too.It was certainly a terrible headache for him, but a certain person tactlessly approached him nonetheless.Larry, his assistant, certainly had no idea what had just happened within a few minutes. In fact, he was staring hopefully at Liam, since that would be yet another fat stack added to his year-end bonus if his boss was pleased!"Sir, everything you want has been arranged," h
With her conversation with Henry ending unpleasantly, Aubrey stormed back to her room, distracted but also empty-handed.Gwyneth, perceptive as always, sensed that something was wrong right away—Aubrey told her she would bring food upstairs before leaving earlier.And now, she was clearly out of it…"Aubrey?" Gwyneth called out tentatively, deeply worried even as she met Aubrey's blank gaze.Smiling exasperatedly, she sat beside Aubrey and said, "What's wrong? Weren't you going downstairs to get some food? Are you not feeling well, or did someone upset you?"Food…Aubrey appeared distressed even as she came to her senses. "Sorry, I forgot about that…""Why are you apologizing?" Gwyneth smiled in wry amusement, tousling her hair as she rose to her feet. "Take a break—you look terrible. I'll go get us food instead.""No!" Aubrey suddenly shrieked as she sprang up from the couch, stepping in Gwyneth's way immediately. If she let Gwyneth go, what if she ran into the bonehead name
Liam had planned the anniversary celebration months ago, starting with getting a specifically designed ring.It went without saying that he put heart and soul into it, and fortunately, he was satisfied with the returns.Later, even in the dimness of their room, their shadows were reflected on the way, intertwined. Gwyneth's slender arms were wrapped around Liam's neck with passion and melting beneath him with passion like never before.Meanwhile, as the anniversary surprise concluded happily, Aubrey was left endlessly disappointed.Even so, Henry remained utterly oblivious and yapping away beside her.Biting her lips, she wheeled on him as she had enough, snapping, "Just stop! Give it to me straight, Henry Munroe—do you even care about me?!"She did not want to get that far, but reality was now leaving her wondering if Henry actually took notice of her, especially when she compared what he did for her to what Liam did for Gwyneth.Like a broken dam, all the grievances she kept i
