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
In terms of style, Gwyneth's jewelry designs bore a striking resemblance to her drawings.However, unless you were a die-hard fan, it was difficult to notice.Helen had grown to despise Gwyneth.To bolster her credibility, she turned over every sketch of Gwyneth's that she had acquired to the newspaper.After comparing them, several reporters decided to believe Helen's account and pledged to bring Gwyneth's misconduct to light.Helen was overjoyed when she received their positive feedback.'She didn't want to give away her secret, did she? I'll expose you to the world!'Gwyneth found out two days later.She had cut off all communication with the outside world for two days to ensure that she and Liam were not disturbed.After two days, the controversy surrounding her "plagiarism" was widely known.The sales of her once-popular jewelry plummeted.When Gwyneth turned on her phone, she got a call from Sean. The phone ringing prompted her to abandon her work and answer it."Ms.
Being extremely protective of Gwyneth, Liam made sure to unearth as many dark secrets about Helen as he could. He even made sure to probe into the company that she worked for, which ultimately revealed a plethora of malpractices, including exploiting legal loopholes to generate illicit funds, and engaging in text fraud… With all that evidence in hand, Liam began pressuring the company… and before long, Ernest Ingram, the company’s owner, found himself in such a tight spot that he was forced to invite Liam to his office for a meeting… Liam looked even more intimidating than usual, and after a slight gulp, the nervous Ernest faked a smile as he said, “Um… Though you may have caught us doing some unsightly things, what reason do you have to stand against us…? We don’t hold any beef, at least as far as I can remember-” “Oh, it’s not your company I’m after… It’s a certain employee of yours…” interrupted Liam. “…Could… you elaborate…?” Sneering in response, Liam got to his feet and
Though she had that argument with Henry, Aubrey no longer had beef with him since he eventually begged for her forgiveness. Even so, she had no real reason to contact Gwyneth after that incident… That is, until she found out that she was sick. Judging from how casual Gwyneth’s tone was, however… She had probably just lied to get some peace and quiet… Feeling sorry for her, Audrey added, “Yup. Now open up already…” …Huh? Was she waiting for her outside? Getting to her feet, she bolted toward the door to greet her friend, completely forgetting that she had been trying to keep a low profile to avoid her rabid fans… Regardless, once Aubrey was inside, Gwyneth was left slightly surprised when she learned that the desserts were made by her… and though the food looked appealing, she couldn’t help but mutter, “…These are edible, right?” “What’s that supposed to mean?” grumbled Aubrey. When she remembered how great a cook Gwyneth was, however… She sighed before adding, “Don’t worry, I t
Truth be told, had Aubrey done this with anyone else, she would’ve probably been beaten up by now… And knowing that she had done her best to maintain calm, Gwyneth chose not to pay any more attention to that woman! After wiping the flour off her face, Gwyneth looked and Liam and grumbled, “…Have you eaten? Sorry I couldn’t prepare anything for you… We can eat out instead.” Though Aubrey wanted to say something, she ended up keeping her mouth shut in the end. After all, she was well aware of all the damage that she had already done… Peeking at Herny, she couldn’t help but ask, “…Do you think I messed up too badly…?” Naturally, Henry knew that was the case, but… In the end, he simply patted her head and muttered, “…Look, just leave the cooking to the servants next time, alright…? Also, you may not be a good chef, but I can assure you that nobody can dance as well as you can…” Upon hearing that, Gwyneth couldn’t help but add, “…He’s right. Just because you like doing something,
Upon moving backstage again, Gwyneth was quickly greeted by the sight of an anxious Wanda running up to her. “T-this doesn’t look good, Ms. Glen! Someone apparently posted the jewelry’s design online shortly before the official release! Because of that, the internet is abuzz thinking that you stole the designs!” Following that, Wanda showed her phone to her… and true enough, the topic was at the very top of the trending tab! As expected, the comment section was brimming with angry and disappointed commenters… Since Gwyneth wasn’t replying, Wanda couldn’t help but gulp before asking, “…Should I send someone to investigate those in our company?” Though that was obviously their best bet at finding the perpetrator, Gwyneth knew that it would take some time to actually catch the culprit… And unfortunately, they needed results fast, or they’d surely lose the public’s support for good! Losses were bound to be had, and in order to limit them, Gwyneth returned the phone to Wanda befor
Following that decision, the potential culprit was quickly identified. She was an employee who was caught acting suspiciously on camera. What’s more, she even had a stack of paper in hand before leaving the warehouse. To top it all off, a large sum of money from an unknown source was transferred to her bank account shortly after… and with all this in mind, Gaspard was left utterly defeated. He left the rest to Gwyneth, and in no time at all, the employee was brought to her office… “I-I swear you have the wrong person! I didn’t do anything wrong…!” wailed the trembling woman. “Really…? Then how would you explain this?” scoffed Gwyneth as she began playing the surveillance footage for her… With how pale the woman now was, Gwyneth took the chance to add, “Now then… If I recall correctly, employees are forbidden from entering the warehouse without permission… And for good reason. Do you have any idea how much harm you’ve done to us? Regardless, there’s something more important I
Trying his best to avoid answering, the guilty man averted his gaze as he replied, “…I-I need to pick up my daughter from school, so let’s continue another time-” “Director Hayward… If you refuse to give me a straight answer, so be it. However, do know that an investigation will still be held…” Naturally, all the man could do was smile wryly before leaving the room. It was evident that Gwyneth already knew that he was responsible… And with that in mind, there was really no need for him to hold back anymore! As Hayward began planning his next move, he failed to notice how closely he was being monitored… By none other than Root! Because of that, Root was easily able to overhear Hayward’s conversation with his informant from the design department… and in his rage, he immediately reported his findings to Gwyneth. “This is truly unforgivable! He deserves to be fired on the spot!” “Now, now, there’s no rush,” replied Gwyneth with a sly smile. Quite honestly, she believed that there
