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

    After a few minutes, Liam saw Elizabeth among the crowd and was walking toward her."Where did you go?" he asked.Elizabeth had just returned to Liam's side and felt her heart warm when she heard him ask. It seemed like this man did care about her."I was just casually walking around. I've made you worried, Liam," Elizabeth answered.Liam looked at Elizabeth and did not speak further. Unconsciously, his gaze surveys his surroundings again. He saw a fierce gaze coming from the corner. The source of the gaze came from Kingsley.It was he who brought Elizabeth back here. However, due to her status, he still did not walk over. As time went on, more rage and resentment were suppressed. Looking at Liam, he could not wait to go up and fight him.While at the same time, the host's voice rang throughout the auction hall, "To all directors from all corporations, I apologize for making all of you wait. Now, let the auction officially start."When he heard this, Liam retracted his gaze but

    The hidden feelings made Gwyneth scrunch her eyebrows. Everyone there was also curious and turned around to look into the booth from an angle. However, the effect of privacy of the booth functioned very well; no one was able to see this person's face.After a few rounds of bidding, the only thing they could determine was that this mysterious person was a man."Raise!"It was another round. Gwyneth could not help but furrow her brows. She did not know why, but this voice sounded more and more familiar to her."The mister in that booth had raised the price. May I ask if Glen Corporation would like to continue?"The host took the auction gavel in his hand; the excitement on his face would not be hidden."Raise!" Gwyneth raised her bidding paddle again and turned around at the same time. Sure enough, that familiar voice rang again, "Add another ten thousand!"After three more rounds, Gwyneth's emotions started to fluctuate. She suddenly had a feeling that this mysterious person was

    "Congratulations, sir! You are now the owner of Glacier Lake!" said the host. With that, the bidding for Glacier Lake project came to an end.The hammer price for the bidding had exceeded the amount for this year's projects. Gwyneth was more puzzled by this rather than being caught off guard. 'Who is this person who showed up without any warning?' She thought.She recalled the person's tone when putting in his bid and realized he did not intend to stop. The man did not care how high the amount was getting and wanted to win the project no matter what. Thinking about this, Gwyneth looked down and fiddled with the bidding sign in her hand as she began having doubts.Gaspard and his people, on the other hand, were utterly shocked. A random man had disrupted their well-thought-out plan, and the Glacier Lake project was snatched away from their grasp with no effort.However, they could not walk away in anger since the bidding for the Emerald Trails Project had not started yet.

    By the time Wanda returned to her senses, Gwyneth had already signed various agreements.Gwyneth stepped off the stage, looked at the document in her hand, and thought that all of this felt miraculous. She was originally prepared to spend a lot of money on the project. But now, she received such a generous gift without doing anything.Gwyneth felt a little uneasy since she felt obligated to return the favor. It was as if she was tied up, unable to break free."Ms. Glen..."As Gwyneth sat back in her seat, and her mind wandered, she was pulled back into reality by Wanda once again."Yes?" she replied. Gwyneth guessed that Wanda might also be wondering about the situation and wanted some answers. However, to her surprise, Wanda came close to her ears with a mysterious look and said, "Ms. Glen, I have something to tell you."'Huh?' Gwyneth froze for a moment when she heard this. She then looked at Wanda and asked, "Is it something important? If not, let's talk about it back at the o

    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

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.
