"Glacier Lake's plan? What does that have to do with me resigning?" Wanda rested her chin in her hands, her expression a mix of confusion and bewilderment.Judy eagerly provided an explanation, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "Wanda, listen up! Gwyneth has just taken the reins as the CEO of Glen Corporation, and she's determined to handle the Glacier Lake project all by herself. Can you imagine?" Judy's voice carried a playful undertone.She aimed to include Wanda in her inner circle, making her future endeavors smoother. She continued, "If Gwyneth continues to push ahead with this solo act, our company will be on the verge of bankruptcy. That's why we need to 'lend her a hand'."In response to Judy's words, Wanda cut to the chase. "How can we help?""Of course, it's by finding out about her plan. That way, we'll secure our position, reap the benefits, and make your days much brighter," Judy replied.Lost in thought, Wanda lowered her head. Judy wore a self-satisfied smile as
Gwyneth's cold and mocking remarks caught Judy off guard, instantly dampening her good mood.Judy said, "Wouldn't it be more prudent to maintain a lower profile? You can barely keep your secretary now."In a matter of seconds, their eyes locked in a brief but tense exchange before they instinctively took a step back, putting some distance between them. Judy's expression turned malicious, her teeth grinding together, while Gwyneth let out a light, taunting laugh, her lips curling upwards.Two peaceful days drifted by, only to be shattered when Judy received bewildering news."What do you mean Wanda went back to being a secretary? Is it true?" As Judy stared at the female colleague from the HR department, who was standing before her, her skepticism etched on her face."Do you think I would lie to you about this? I was the one who handled Wanda's transfer." The colleague wore a sycophantic expression.Back when Judy held a managerial position, this HR staff member constantly showere
Gwyneth raised her eyebrows and scanned Elizabeth. Elizabeth dressed up meticulously and attended to every detail from the tip of her hair to her toes.While Gwyneth, on the other hand, just wore a decent gown; dressing up was something she never paid attention to. If Wanda had not insisted she wore this gown, she would have probably worn her daily casual wear here. Thinking back to what Elizabeth said earlier, this woman was not afraid to speak her mind."Thank you for the compliment, Miss Lisle," Gwyneth replied and withdrew her hand. Just as she wanted to leave, Elizabeth continued."Ms. Glen, who are you representing today? Glen Corporation? If so, how is AMC's situation?"As expected, another immature question. Gwyneth turned her head, ignored Elizabeth, and left her in an awkward position.It was a complicated and awkward situation for Elizabeth. She could not continue the conversation or stop talking. At last, she glanced at Liam's cold expression and decided to keep quiet.
After a while, the auction started on time when the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed. The incandescent lights turned on above the stage were dazzling to the eyes. Gwyneth frowned. If possible, she did not want to attend such an event. During Gwyneth's days in AMC, Wesley was the one who helped her in these events. Come to think of it, Gwyneth realized how easy she had it back then.The host walked slowly to the stage as the lighting gradually adjusted back to normal. Gently testing the microphone, the host was obviously nervous. It was understandable; everyone in the audience was influential. The host might offend someone with just one word and ruin their career.After the official opening, the host's assistant began to show the various projects and sites up for auction. Glacier Lake and Emerald Trails Project was saved for last, which was what Gwyneth and Gaspard were paying attention to.Gaspard did not enter with Gwyneth but came with some business partners he had worked togeth
Seeing Gaspard's snappy behavior, Gwyneth only felt irritated by him. She was genuinely baffled at why he would humiliate her publicly, thinking it would make him look good.Catching a glimpse of Gaspard's attempt to retort, she only found it funny. She turned around, ready to leave. To her surprise, Gaspard got his tongue-tied, but he got quick hands and grabbed her arm."Mr. Glen. What is the meaning of this?"Gwyneth turned around to stare at Gaspard. Her once defiant smile was now gone, and her expression darkened.Everyone in the area began to whisper, making various comments. Ultimately, they were all watching and looking for entertainment. These people might not even remember what was wrong or right once they walked through that door.At this moment, Liam noticed the ruckus and walked over with Elizabeth behind. Liam's gaze had always been on Gwyneth. Many approached him after he entered the exhibition hall and gave him their business cards and partnership proposals. Theref
"Why, you. Gwyneth, what are you talking about?" Gaspard cautiously spoke, feeling somewhat guilty. As he retorted, he subtly glanced at Liam."What I'm trying to say is that ever since I moved out a few years ago, our father-daughter relationship ended," Gwyneth held her arms and spoke each word with precision. She resisted acknowledging she was a part of the Glen family with every word she said, with her body rigid and her expression uninterested.However, only Liam and Wanda could sense that Gwyneth's words were like a knife wielded against herself."Mr. Glen, if I were you, I would have stayed far away and not pulled any feelings," Gwyneth said. Her hands were firmly clenched into fists. "Stop pretending!"Her last sentence was not loud, but it carried a weight that made Gaspard's body tremble. He did not anticipate Gwyneth to say such words to him in a public setting. He intended to act in front of Liam. But now, he did not need to act like a loving father as his anger surged.
After hearing Judy's suggestion, Liam shockingly did not reject it. He nodded his head and started moving. On the other hand, Elizabeth, the date, had even less right to give an opinion.Watching Liam listen to her suggestions made Judy so excited. After some thought, she thought Gwyneth was nothing to Liam deep down. 'If he truly cared, why would Liam walk with me and leave Gwyneth alone?'Liam had done it on purpose. Firstly, he did not want to disturb Gwyneth when she looked at the Glacier Lake development project. He knew that this project had a special meaning to her. Secondly, he wanted to see what other styles of tricks Gaspard and Judy were up to.Before he left, Liam turned around and glanced at Judy. His expression had a hint of longing. When he thought about the scene, the hurt was clearly displayed in that woman's eyes. If the pain was deep enough, she might have a chance at closure from the message sent before this.At the lecture venue, Gwyneth had the Glacier Lake do
After hesitating for a few seconds, Gaspard could not calm down as he watched Liam's gaze still fixated on Emerald Trails Project. He quickly went up while rubbing his hands to cover up the anxiousness in his heart. The cold sweat in his palms made him lose his grip on his hands, making him even more anxious."Mr. Luther..." Gaspard felt nervous and could not even think of trying to utilize their relationship. He had changed the way he addressed him directly."Have you truly taken an interest in Emerald Trails Project? Our company sent someone to do a field study a few days ago.""Oh? Is it so?" Liam, who was initially silent, suddenly said. This made Gaspard's body shudder."Yes, yes. But we found out about Emerald Trails' true condition. It is unlike what we are seeing right now."Gaspard kept talking while slowly taking a step back from behind Liam. He lightly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead at an angle Liam would not see."There is a difference; isn't it just regular c
