With a leisurely mood, Gwyneth slowly walked from the outer circumference of Glacier Lake into the heart of it. She gradually noticed a problem. When she greeted the locals and asked about interesting hangout spots nearby, they would happily reply. Still, they would change their expression and leave the conversation without reason whenever the topic of the project development project was mentioned.Gaspard's men, on the other hand, would always tail her from a distance away."Why are they following us, Ms. Glen?" asked Wanda. She felt uncomfortable, probably from having been tailed for the first time. However, Gwyneth acted as if nothing had happened. She lightly smiled and intentionally raised her voice, "Our colleagues from the marketing department, at their own expense, came to survey the development to ensure everything is flawless. Where else would you find someone as responsible as this?"After listening to Gwyneth, Wanda blinked a few times, 'Why does it sound so uncomfortabl
Gwyneth clenched her fist and coldly stared at the people that had just left. It seemed like she needed to fire some people once things were settled here. She snorted, turned on her phone, saw the location Wanda sent her and left.When she walked from the outer circumference of Glacier Lake into the heart, she saw Wanda standing at the side of the road, waiting for her."Why aren't you waiting inside? The night here is quite chilly.""I'm afraid Ms. Glen would be unable to find the way..."Gwyneth lightly chuckled when she saw Wanda speak up with an embarrassed demeanor. The two went toward a cafe with each other's arm around the other's shoulder. Gwyneth found many people gathered in a discussion when she opened the door."Ms. Glen, these are some locals from around Glacier Lake that manages the area around it," whispered Wanda into Gwyneth's ears, still feeling slightly nervous.She had no confidence in how the situation would turn out, although she had convinced these people t
"Rest assured, I'm not just talking. You will all see the contract in black and white," Gwyneth's final words provided a sense of comfort to the group, eliciting a collective sigh of relief. The initial round of negotiations had yielded a mutually agreeable outcome for both parties.Meanwhile, outside, darkness had enveloped the sky. Gwyneth had no intention of staying long, so she left with Wanda.Upon returning to their hotel, the weary duo encountered the marketing department members near the entrance, engaged in an unknown discussion. One of them spotted Wanda and immediately exhaled audibly."Oh my goodness, Ms. Lewis, you're alright! You had us so worried."Upon hearing those words, the others also breathed a sigh of relief, each expressing their own sense of alleviation.Gwyneth glanced at the empty wine bottles behind the group, concealing her disdain. 'These people didn't genuinely make an effort to find Wanda. They were just going through the motions. I bet if she had re
When Wanda heard Gwyneth's words, she stood frozen for a moment, completely stunned. By the time she snapped out of it, Gwyneth had already stepped into the elevator, still smiling and waving at her. Wanda thought to herself, 'My new boss is really cool.'Despite being a newcomer at Glen Corporation, Wanda had already overcome most of her fears about the corporate world during her schooling. She tightly held onto the files in her hand, and her heart raced a few times before she dashed toward Gwyneth.In fact, Gwyneth truly meant what she had said. Over the past few days, while dealing with the exhausting demands of her role, she had to be cautious around people working for Gaspard in Glen Corporation. Gwyneth felt mentally and physically drained. After arranging a ride for Wanda, she drove back to the Luther residence.It was still early, and the mansion was quiet. Obviously, Liam wasn't home. Gwyneth had left for two days without informing Liam in advance. Her sudden return made he
Larry was all smiles and getting ready to leave when he heard Liam's voice behind him."After canceling the project, let's redirect the marketing department and invest in material construction projects instead," Liam said.Watching Larry briskly walking away, Liam sat down in his chair. Deep in thought, Liam took a seat and chuckled softly, pondering to himself, 'What I'm doing seems more driven by personal interest than corporate interest.' Regardless of the perspective, he hoped that the Glacier Lake development would involve collaborating with Gwyneth.A few days later, at the hospital entrance, Elizabeth furrowed her brow as she observed the bandaged wrap around her arm. Despite her relatively short hospital stay this time, Liam hadn't visited her even once. Remembering how he used to visit her every two or three days during her previous hospitalization, the noticeable change made her unconsciously clench her teeth.Despite her less-than-ideal condition for discharge, Elizabeth
After swiftly finalizing the deadline and payment details with Elizabeth on the website, ShadowCipher delved straight into the depths of the Internet. This kind of task was a breeze for him, especially since Elizabeth had provided an abundance of information. It made it remarkably easy for him to uncover all the specifics regarding the fire that occurred years ago.However, as ShadowCipher cross-referenced the data and verified the identities of the individuals involved, he was suddenly taken aback. The names and ages of the two children who managed to escape the fire, along with some details about their later whereabouts, caused his expression to stiffen. He vigorously rubbed his eyes to ensure he wasn't hallucinating, and then meticulously organized the raw data before clicking "send."ShadowCipher possessed an inexplicable intuition, yet he couldn't be entirely certain about the truth of the matter. Hence, he chose to compile the information and send it to Gwyneth. He appended a n
At that very moment, Liam, Gwyneth, and Elizabeth found themselves frozen in place.The sudden appearance of Gwyneth caught Elizabeth completely off guard. Her initial startle quickly turned into relief, as if she had managed to accomplish two goals with a single stroke. This turn of events didn't seem so bad to her. Just as she was about to draw closer to Liam's comforting embrace, a powerful force abruptly pushed her away.Elizabeth's heart brimmed with reluctance, yet she clenched her teeth and forced a smile. "Hello, Ms. Glen. I apologize for being seen in such a state—"Before Elizabeth could finish her sentence, Liam interjected. "Gwyneth..." He took a step forward, reaching out as if to grasp Gwyneth's hand. However, Gwyneth subtly evaded him, retreating without leaving a trace. Her facial expression remained void of emotion, not even a flicker in her eyes.In a chilling tone, Gwyneth spoke, "It seems my timing couldn't be worse. I've interrupted your little moment, haven't
Liam furrowed his eyebrows slightly upon hearing his subordinate's words, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes. 'Seems like I'm not the only one interested in that fire.' With that in mind, he asked, "Can we retrieve it again?"The response he received was a simple, "I need some time."Liam's subordinates were always efficient and decisive, much like their employer. They possessed a clear understanding of their capabilities and would never mindlessly undertake a task solely for recognition.Liam spoke softly, "Do your best." After receiving an affirmative response on the other end of the phone, he ended the call.'Not only has the online information disappeared, but the contents of my email have also vanished,' Liam thought, a bitter laugh escaping his lips. 'I suppose there are plenty of skilled individuals out there.'Without hesitation, Liam slightly bent down and opened one side of the drawer beneath his desk. He retrieved a few sheets of paper, the very records he had previous
