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. Gaspard's
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
Everyone knew that even if Glen Corporation could not provide Gwyneth with the money she needed, she still had the support of AMC Group. The bidders in the auction thought that Gwyneth would find Emerald Trails not worth it and give up. However, that did not happen. In the end, they lost their bids.Gaspard was not representing Glen Corporation that night, so there was no guarantee that he would be able to pay for the bid if the price continued to rise. Gwyneth knew that, yet she still went up against him. It was clear to him that his daughter was trying to screw him over.Gaspard gritted his teeth. His emotions were all over the place, and he was clueless about how to proceed."Dad, is it still possible? Should we just give up? I fear that..." Judy was watching everything on the side. Her palms were getting sweaty, and her heart was beating wildly. She knew how much Gaspard wanted to pay for Emerald Trails Project, but the current bidding price had exceeded their budget by more tha
Halfway through the auction, the crowd noticed Gwyneth's departure. Some of them were wondering why she was leaving, but most understood why she did. After all, she had already obtained the top item for the evening for free. She did not need to waste her time there, so leaving was the right thing to do.Liam, who was in his seat, watched Gwyneth leave and immediately got up to go as well. He was unlikely to attend the auction if she did not participate. The reason he came over today was to make sure she got the Glacier Lake project. This was also why he got involved in the bidding earlier.Liam even planned that if he got the Glacier Lake project, he would find a way to transfer the ownership to Gwyneth. Everyone knew the tangled relationship between the young master of Luther Corporation and Gwyneth Glen. However, the current situation left them a little confused."I thought Mr. Luther was bored with Gwyneth. Why would he follow her and leave?" The continuous voices of discussion s
On the other side of events, Liam had followed Gwyneth out of the auction hall. But when he was about to walk out, Elizabeth went up and stopped him.Initially, Elizabeth's attention was focused on Kingsley. She was both excited and apprehensive at the same time. When she returned to her senses, she realized Liam had gotten up and left. She did not expect that.Elizabeth felt a buzz in her head, and her body became unstable; she almost fell off her chair. Not wanting to be one step behind, she hurriedly went after Liam. She did not wish for him to see Gwyneth being taken away, nor did she want him to save her. 'This cannot happen. It must not happen,' thought Elizabeth.She was walking so fast just to keep up with Liam that her feet almost got tangled up. Elizabeth tried to keep her balance, but her upper limbs were out of control. That was when she pushed her arms onto Liam's back.Liam was understandably a little angry after being suddenly pushed in the back. It may seem like a n
Liam hung up the phone harshly after hearing the cold voice from the end of the receiver. Unwilling to give up, Liam called the number once again. He then hung up the phone after receiving the same response.Gwyneth's car was left in the parking lot, her bracelet was found in the corner, and her phone was turned off for no apparent reason. Even if Liam did not want to admit it, he knew he had to investigate the situation.'Something must have happened to that woman...' Liam's heart throbbed a little when he thought about it. Just as he was ready to leave the building, he saw Elizabeth running toward him.Elizabeth was a little out of breath in front of Liam. However, she could tell that Liam's expression was particularly abnormal. "What's wrong, Liam?""Did you see Gwyneth when you were coming over just now? She's gone," Liam asked patiently. He did not want to let go of any possibility at that moment.Elizabeth was overjoyed when she heard Liam's words. 'Seems like Kingsley's pla
"We don't know what happened, Mr. Luther..." The organizer of the event, who was initially full of confidence, was now as pale as a ghost. His voice was trembling. "I know nothing about what happened to Ms. Glen, Mr. Luther."Everyone knew what kind of relationship Liam had with Gwyneth. The two were in a contract marriage, and they were now divorced. None of them thought that something bad would happen to Gwyneth at the auction, and none expected Liam to be so concerned about it."Look into it and find out what happened." Liam's face had turned dark at that moment, and his words sounded like they were coming from the gaps in his teeth.The employee who was in charge of the surveillance was pale then. He pressed a few buttons on the keyboard but did not know what to do. Ultimately, he looked toward the event organizer like he was about to cry. "S-Sir. W-What do I...""Expand the scope and extend the time of recording." Before the organizer could say anything, Liam answered as if gi
