Gwyneth turned away, making it clear she would not talk—speaking further was pointless anyway, though her stubbornness left Helen utterly agitated. In a fit of frenzy, she pulled off Gwyneth's blanket and paused for a moment when she spotted something. Then, before Gwyneth could react, she pulled out the jewelry design blueprint from Gwyneth's bag.It was the early draft, but it was still stunning nonetheless—and Helen certainly remembered the artstyle to be identical to Niki's! "You were saying you're not Niki, but how do you explain this, then?" Helen snorted as she straightened herself and stared down on Gwyneth, having seized leverage against Gwyneth in no time at all. "Why don't you say that you're copying Niki with this design style too?""Give it back!" Gwyneth was already fuming that her bag was snatched away while she was caught off guard, and Helen's attitude only left her further infuriated.Refraining from getting physical, she warned Helen coolly, "Whether I'm Niki
Reading Liam's mind, Larry merely glanced at Gwyneth for a moment before restraining Helen by her wrist. Then, he dragged her out of the room without hesitation, oblivious to her struggling.Gwyneth was released for a moment, but she soon stiffened again. "Liam…""Just rest." The man could see that she was in a dilemma, and his fingers were held up to her lips to stop her from continuing. "Have you eaten? I'll buy you something.""Okay," Gwyneth replied hesitantly, watching as he left the ward.There was no stopping the emotions surging on her chest, and she knew Liam had seen through her.Given his intelligence, he would know she was hiding something from him no matter how much faith he had in her.Perhaps she should look for an opportunity to properly think about how she was going to resolve this issue.Meanwhile, Helen was losing her mind after Larry dragged her to the back garden. "What are you doing?! Liam is here—even if you want me to talk, I'll talk to him instead of a l
"That's the only thing you're asking?"Gwyneth was left gaping. She gave Liam such a clear chance to ask, but he refused to take it! Wait, could this simply be the calm before the storm?"What, is this trivial to you?" Liam asked as he stood above her before she could think, clearly looking upset. "The last time you were admitted was because of your irregular diet, leading to digestive issues too. It's just been a few days since we've been apart, and you've tormented yourself to this state—why do I get the feeling you're actually proud too?"After lecturing her, Liam soon remembered, "Didn't you tell me that you were on a business trip? I wasn't told that there were any AMC projects that needed travel."Well, what goes around comes around.At this point, even if she did not tell Liam now, he would find out during the product launch.With that, Gwyneth took a deep breath and mulled her words before saying, "It was a business trip… but not what you have in mind. I needed to com
Amid Sean's exaggerated praise, AMC and Sean's company signed the partnership agreement amicably. Moreover, Sean also offered a long-term partnership—a first for his company with a local company. Naturally, AMC stole the spotlight during their product launch—several companies tried to propose partnerships just for a shot at a partnership with Sean's company.Inevitably, one of them was the ever-ambitious Gaspard.As he finally calmed down and actually recognized that he was no match for Gwyneth now, he actually became keen on a partnership instead. They had several projects where they would cross paths anyway, and Gwyneth's riches would be more meaningful ending up in his hands. He was her father, after all—why let some outsider get it instead?AMC's successful partnership with Sean's company only strengthened Gaspard's intent to secure a connection to Gwyneth. If he was lucky, he might even be afforded a split of the spoils.And with such a wonderful opportunity standing befor
'He took Gwyneth's words at face value and is now abandoning his own daughter!' Judy was heartbroken.She looked at Gaspard with obvious disappointment in her eyes."What's the point of blaming Mom? Dad, don't you get it? We're in this situation because of Gwyneth. You should blame her. She sabotaged our business, and now you're pleading for her forgiveness."What the hell do you know?" Gaspard retorted, irritated.Although he had not participated in the conflict, he was aware of Judy and Gwyneth's disagreement over Galactech's proprietary technology.In the beginning, Judy was sure of herself, but by the end, Gwyneth had slapped her across the face.Gwyneth was clearly capable, based on the circumstances.Maybe his daughter would not have turned against him if he had paid more attention to her in the past. She might have proved to be a trustworthy assistant who eventually took over the business from him.Gaspard's eyes grew cold as he turned to Bianca with the intent of devo
"Yes."Wanda studied her expression and determined that she was clearly clueless.'He took the initiative to send some food to my boss. But why? This man comes across as sly and dominant from our previous encounters.'Wanda became suspicious and wondered, "Should I look into his recent movements? I always suspect he has bad intentions."Gwyneth wrinkled her brow and reflected on a call she had received the night before, where that old man spoke in a fawning tone. Today, he personally delivered her lunch.She narrowed her eyes and pushed the lunchbox toward Wanda."You eat it. If you don't want to eat it, figure out how to get rid of it. Go back to your work. I have some other business to attend to.""Should we investigate?" Wanda agreed, but she remembered her original purpose.Gwyneth looked at her lunchbox, then said, "It's fine. I know what to do."Instead of conducting an investigation, it was more practical to call him.'Regardless of his motivations, he has shown sincer
Gwyneth had a lot on her mind, and this was exactly the time she needed someone to console her.She took the initiative to wrap her hands around his neck, appreciating his timely comfort.Then she spilled the beans, telling him about all the recent thoughts that had bothered her."Are you worried about Gaspard backing out after collaborating with you?"Liam understood what was at the heart of her anxiety.He paused briefly before saying, "I doubt he'd do that. A partnership between businesses can either benefit both parties or turn out to be a loss for both. He places the greatest value on his business. Why would he put his company in jeopardy to mess with you?"'Most importantly, that man lacks the courage to do so. If he ever truly plotted against my love, I would make him suffer the consequences before she even took action.'Liam looked down. He brushed the hair off Gwyneth's forehead and planted a passionate kiss there."Of course, you shouldn't let my opinion influence you
Gwyneth responded with a frown.She had heard similar threats before. After hearing it from Helen, she felt a lot more at ease.Helen did not need to expose her. One of the reasons she agreed to attend the event was to make a public announcement.However, Helen's threat to her had not ended. She sneered as she noticed Gwyneth was unmoved. "Do you think I came unprepared? Before I arrived, I talked with the organizer. I learned that the majority of the works on display in today's exhibition are from your company and were created by you. They have no idea how valuable the things you create are, but I do.""Did you wait for me just to tell me this?"Gwyneth gave her a cold stare, her eyes as calm as ever.Helen looked at her and saw none of the reactions she had anticipated. She became increasingly irritable over time."Can't you see what I'm trying to say? If you agree to paint me a picture or give me one of your works, I will never say that you are Niki. As long as you don't re
