"Ms. Glen!"Wanda noticed Gwyneth immediately since she was standing in a conspicuous spot. Still, Wanda's worry grew when she saw the wreckage that was once Gwyneth's car.Quickly stopping her car and alighting, she ran straight to Gwyneth, circling her to check on her from head to toe.She was on the verge of tears even if she found no injuries. Holding Gwyneth's shoulders, she cried, "Where did you get hurt, Ms. Glen?" "It's just my elbow. It's not that bad," Gwyneth replied, hating that reaction and brushing the topic aside. "I told you to send a car. Why did you come here on your own?"Wanda was too worried about Gwyneth but also knew that she could not argue the fact. She averted her eyes even until they were in her car, where she promptly turned serious and said, "It's not a trifle that your car lost control, Ms. Glen. Even if you don't drive it much, you make sure to maintain it from time to time—it shouldn't malfunction for no reason. I'm guessing someone sabotaged it
"Don't be reckless." Gwyneth cut ShadowCipher short, feeling a pain just then.Whoever impersonated her must have been prepared. With their identity still unknown, ShadowCipher might not be enough to best them, just as any false moves would only leave them vulnerable.Musing to herself for a while, Gwyneth eventually had an idea. "Just keep an eye on things for now. I'll get home soon to resolve the issue myself."She was more or less done with on-site surveys, and the rest was up to the professionals to finish what she started.Putting away her phone, Gwyneth gestured for Wanda to pack up as they started to head home.The plan was to return to the mansion and treat her own mounds to avoid relentless questions from Liam. However, she arrived home to find him not at work, and he had a thorough view of her elbow injury even before she could hide it.Liam's gaze darkened as their eyes met, while Gwyneth's danger sense tingled."Liam…" Before she could plead her case or play cute,
Nonetheless, after a brief moment of panic, Ellery's eyes flashed darkly as he calmed down. After all, he was convinced Liam would not be able to produce evidence against him! "Did I, Mr. Luther?" He chuckled. "That's amusing. Do you have any evidence to show that I was responsible?"Liam simply whipped out his phone, played a certain security footage, and threw the phone at Ellery.Ellery's face fell in disbelief the instant he saw it. "What?!"Roman told him that this footage was deleted! How did Liam obtain it?!Liam was simply watching in amusement as his expressions alternated, and he strode up to take back his phone as he snorted. "Don't worry—I'm not telling the cops."This was personal, and it shall be settled as such.Rolling up his sleeves elegantly, he glared at Ellery haughtily. "You will pay for laying a finger on my wife."-Liam strode out of Ellery's mansion amid the man's terrified screams and drove straight to the headquarters of a tech company.Before he
If he was allowed to stay in Elderville, Ellery would be a scar that would fester in time.And since Liam was dead set on a campaign against the Doltons, his only option was to root them out completely and remove Ellery from the game.Anyone could see that the tourism development project was fresh, succulent meat in business terms, and Ellery wanted it so badly he was willing to undermine Liam for it. To have him remove himself at this juncture was certainly asking the impossible!"You're out of line, Liam!" Ellery screamed, not caring about pretenses just then.Still, Liam had expected him to say no anyway and chuckled as he quickly hung up.Ellery was left dumbfounded, and when he finally came to his senses, he cursed Liam endlessly.However, he was also actually concerned that Liam would not stop and promptly sent word to have his men watch Liam's every move.He was right to be concerned, though it was he who went too far and overstepped Liam's boundaries in the first place.
Not knowing who the imposter was was frustrating, but his behavior was intolerable.That person leveraged her number one position in the Hacker Ranking to deliberately provoke and humiliate other hackers, repeatedly tarnishing her reputation.ShadowCipher became enraged at this."Master, please give me a little more time," he mumbled. "Once I've identified this person, I'll make him kneel and beg for your forgiveness!"Gwyneth frowned. Even though she was upset, the fact that ShadowCipher was unable to quickly identify them showed that the other imposter had done their homework.She disapproved of any hasty moves because she could not be sure of their motives.After she analyzed the situation coolly, she gave it some thought and sent a text message."Let's see how things pan out. Don't get involved unless I say so. I'll handle everything on my own.""Roger that!" What ShadowCipher wanted most of all was for his master to intervene personally. He clicked his tongue and sent an
If her guess was correct, ShadowCipher's disappearance was related to Hacker Forum.Anxiety could be heard in Root's voice.Gwyneth's eyes dimmed slightly. After taking a deep breath, she said calmly, "He didn't come to me, but you shouldn't worry about him. I have assigned him a task. He was worried, but he kept it a secret from you."Really?"Root had reservations because he had not seen ShadowCipher for a day, and the explanation did not make him feel any better.With a chuckle, Gwyneth inquired, "When have I ever lied to you? Well, you can put your worries to rest now." She had no plans to tell him anything else and reassured him, "When he finishes the task, I'm sure he'll find you."If his disappearance was linked to the forum in any way, he was in a more dangerous position with each passing minute.Gwyneth could not risk losing any more time. Once she got off the phone, she set her work aside and hacked ShadowCipher's computer.She did some digging and discovered that
Due to her poor health, Judy blacked out and passed out."What a troublemaker!"Gwyneth cast a disdainful glance in her direction, but she could not just leave Judy lying on the floor like that.After giving it some thought, she decided to have Wesley look after Judy, while she left as planned.Wesley had always thought poorly of Judy. In addition, he thought about Gwyneth's current mood and realized that she was irritated with Judy. His displeasure with Judy deepened in light of this.A serious expression formed on his face. Wesley drove up to Glen's villa, dragged Judy out of the car, and threw her at the front door.The villa's maid was cleaning the garden when she came across a body outside the property.This turned out to be Judy upon closer inspection. Incredibly startled, her complexion turned white as a sheet, and she recoiled in horror.She paused for a moment to catch her breath, then cautiously approached Judy to see if she was still alive.The maid was relieved.
As much as Liam wanted to, he could not trust Gwyneth because she had lied to him before.She would always use a business trip as an excuse when she really needed to get something done.This time, it occurred soon after somebody tampered with her car.Liam's anxiety was through the roof. He was annoyed, and he knew he would never get an honest answer out of Wanda and Root. He directed his men to decipher Gwyneth's IP address and check on all the people she had contacted before departing.After hearing the news, Root was terrified because he remembered the call they had that morning.'Why did Ms. Glen vanish at this time? Did she go looking for ShadowCipher? It means ShadowCipher is in big trouble.'He was furious with himself and kept cursing himself for being a fool, fearful that the two would be involved in some sort of accident.'If I had known about this, I would've approached it with greater caution.'Root was afraid to even entertain the thought."Mr. Luther, ShadowCip
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
