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
Though Helen was finally dealt with, Gwyneth wasn’t about to rest easy just yet. After all, during her investigation, she had learned that Gaspard had taken advantage of their collaboration by secretly taking on private projects in the group’s name… She had explicitly mentioned that such actions shouldn’t be committed before he was allowed to collaborate, yet… Well, it seemed like there was no helping this man. Fast forward to the next day, she immediately ordered the project department to terminate their collaboration with Gaspard… and as expected, it didn’t take long for him to rush over! Alas, before he could even make it to the elevator, he was stopped by the receptionist! “Apologies, Mr. Glen, but you’re not allowed to head any further!” “What…?! I’m a bloody partner of your company! I deserve to enter, now step aside!” snarled the infuriated man. Fearing that the man would resort to violence, the receptionist was just about to call for backup… When all of a sudden, the
“I’m sure you already know that you’re ruined now that you’re no longer part of my group… So run along already instead of continuing to embarrass yourself.” Though infuriated, he knew that she was right, and after giving her a deathly glare, he finally returned to Glen Corporation in a huff… In his fit of rage, he swept off everything from his desk in hopes of calming himself down… But sadly, that did little to quell his anger. Just as he was about to shatter one of the many vases in his office next, the door suddenly opened… It was Bianca. Shaking her head at how chaotic the room looked, Bianca sighed before saying, “Well, I did warn you that Gwyneth wasn’t to be trusted.” Feeling even more irritated upon hearing that, Gaspard smashed the vase onto the floor while roaring, “Shut up! You know nothing!” Forcing herself to remain calm, Bianca retorted, “Oh, I assure you that I know many things…! For one, I can help you find a suitable partner!” Noticing that she had caught Ga
Thanks to Bianca being the mediator, the talk proceeded smoothly, and by the end of it all, the collaboration was in the bag. Pleased with how things had gone, Gaspard was quick to transfer the shares to Bianca as promised. After all, as he had previously said, all that would’ve ended up with Judy one day anyway. Sure, she wasn’t doing quite well when it came to business, but she was still his daughter. Though things were looking up for Gaspard, the same couldn’t be said for Gwyneth. After all, the fact that she had terminated her collaboration with Glen Corporation out of the blue raised quite a few eyebrows. What’s more, she now had to strive to find a new partner, even though she was already busy with the designing process… Looking at his overworked lover, Liam couldn’t help but wrap his arms around her and say, “Hey… I know the company is important but… All work and no play make Jack a dull boy, you know? With that said, how about you join a company outing that I’ve been plan
