Chapter 431 Apology

The commotion started to draw a crowd. They were looking at Dana, intent on finding out what she was going to do about this mess.At the same time, she felt as if she was being stabbed by a million knives as Liam leveled his icy glare upon her, causing her to flinch and flush. Her lips parted, but no words came after a long while.Her manager finally could not stand it and promptly stepped in to bail her out. "Being allergic to bell peppers, Dana is prone to emotional outbursts whenever she sees them. That's exactly what happened just now, so don't take it to heart—I'll have a word with her later."When she was finished, she shot Dana a look to have her apologize.At first, Dana refused to do so—she was convinced she was not at fault. However, she was not that ignorant that she would fail to read the room. In fact, if word of this gets out, she would be labeled as pompous and conceited, while her position in showbiz would hit rock bottom.With that in mind, she forced herself

Chapter 432 Finding the Safflower

Dana's face paled with embarrassment, and she unwittingly turned to glare at Gwyneth, who lay limply against Liam's chest.Her heart flared with jealousy.However, even if she felt like she could rush up and tear Gwyneth into pieces, she hardly had the guts.All she could do was grit her teeth and storm off indignantly…-Henry and Aubrey were walking side-by-side around an hour ago. It was a rare weekend out, and they were planning to spend it going on a nice date when Liam's call reached them.The instant Henry answered, the man said in his usual icy voice, "You have an hour. Bring a chopper."And with that, he hung up.While Henry sighed exasperatedly, Aubrey was chipper beside him. "Is it about Gwyn? Let's go!"Hence, when the helicopter landed steadily, Aubrey got out excitedly, whooping when she saw Gwyneth and hugging her right then."I missed you so much, Gwyn!"However, the sudden lurch left Gwyneth flinching, and her breathing that finally stabilized slightly turne

Chapter 433 Burning Fever

Gwyneth looked up with considerable difficulty to see Liam getting out of the cockpit to reach her, staring at her worriedly. "Just tell me how to harvest it," he said. "You rest here and wait for me to come back."Root echoed right then. "He's right, Gwyn. Just leave this to me and Mr. Luther. It's freezing outside."Gwyneth nodded tamely as she did not have the strength to get up. "Check the pistil. It's red if it's over a hundred years old and pink if it's less than that…"Then, remembering something, she added, "Remember, don't touch the safflower's pollen if it's younger than a hundred years. It's poisonous."Liam quietly committed every word to memory and got out of the chopper with Root. They both returned in half an hour, holding large bouquets of safflowers that were still shedding tiny petals.It was certainly a bountiful harvest.However, Liam quickly put everything down when he saw that Gwyneth was already out like a light. She lay in Aubrey's arms, her dainty lips

Chapter 434 Business Plan

Gwyneth's heart skipped a beat as she met Liam's earnest gaze. She was immediately emotional and could not resist taking him into her arms, especially with the obvious weariness on his face. He was silly to a fault, but he had definitely done everything he could to take good care of her and afforded her comfort.With that in mind, she could not resist tugging on his hand and said seriously, "Thank you, Liam, for taking care of me so well and staying by my side."However, he misunderstood her, and there was a flash of displeasure in his dark gaze.He turned away unhappily, refusing to look at her.Gwyneth picked up on his change of mood right then and asked, "What's wrong? Was it something I said? Did I upset you?"Liam glared at her from the corner of his eye. Still, seeing her blinking innocently as if she really had no idea what she did wrong, he gave in and sighed. "We're an old couple. Why do you have to keep thanking me like this? Am I supposed to be pleased about this?"G

Chapter 435 Auction

Gaspard, however, was concerned instead of celebrating. "Where did you get that data? Is that accurate? I actually have a bad feeling about this…"Having worked in business for years, Gaspard was more or less slightly more prudent than Judy. After all, the data came too easily, and he felt strung-up instead of relieved.Be that as it may, all Judy could think about was Gwyneth being downtrodden, and she was too happy to listen to what Gaspard was saying. With her fists clenched, she told him with utter conviction, "Dad, someone up there is obviously helping us by dropping all this information on my lap! I'll definitely put it to good use and leave Gwyneth bankrupt by the end of the week. You have nothing to worry about—just wait for my good news!"Seeing her confidence, Gaspard assured himself that he was just paranoid.He kept quiet after hesitating for a while and left her room with a somber look.Meanwhile, Root called Gwyneth to tell her that it was done."Good, and I was

Chapter 436 Successful Surgery

Judy shouted out loud, "Hey, sis!" Gwyneth was sneering inwardly when she heard the shrill cry. That woman really would not give up on a chance to mock her!She turned, keeping her eyes lowered as if enfeebled and looking dispirated from losing the auction.Glee showed in Judy's eyes when she saw that, and even her words barely hid it. "I'm so sorry that I took that plot of land, sister."She clearly did not feel that way despite what she said, whereas Gwyneth sounded despondent. "It's fine. Competition is inevitable in business, and you're lucky to be able to acquire it. No one would have taken it from you."Naturally, only Gwyneth herself was aware of the other meaning in her words, whereas Judy simply presumed that Gwyneth was admitting her defeat.However, despite Judy's impulse to properly ridicule Gwyneth, the latter did not have the time to spare and play along with her. Root's grandmother's surgery was scheduled for later, and she had to prepare for that.With that in m

Chapter 437 Complications With the Project

There was a mandatory period of observation after Root's grandmother's surgery, so Gwyneth had to stay and ensure she was fine before leaving. Hence, while Root stayed beside his grandmother's bed, Gwyneth and Liam waited outside her ward.Still, Gwyneth was exhausted after the auction in the morning, and she had to be extra focused during surgery. As they waited, she fell asleep on Liam's shoulder.There was no telling how long had passed when Root's grandmother woke up, and Root excitedly ran out of the ward, shouting, "She's awake! She's awake!"He promptly shut up when he saw that Gwyneth was asleep, but she was awoken regardless.Straightening herself, she rubbed her eyes and followed Root inside once her head cleared.Liam rubbed his sore shoulder a little before following her.Inside, Root's grandmother opened her eyes, which were bright and devoid of the turbidness before. Not only had she regained consciousness, but she could sit up too—Gwyneth's surgery was obviously

Chapter 438 Twisting the Facts

After the day's work, Gwyneth strode outside of her office building, since Liam was coming today, having agreed to take her to a newly opened French restaurant for dinner.He had yet to arrive, however, due to heavy traffic, and Gwyneth waited for him near the entrance.She was just feeling bored when a shrill voice screamed nearby, "Gwyneth Glen!"Gwyneth turned to find Judy advancing angrily toward her, her wavy brown hair floating in the air because of her stride and baring her face. She actually looked savage even with her makeup and anger, but she could not care less about keeping up appearances.Once she reached Gwyneth, she pointed an accusing finger at her face and started screaming tempestuously, "It's all your fault! You and your business plan! You did it on purpose, didn't you?!" Gwyneth blinked as if confused despite clearly knowing what Judy was accusing her of. "What's my fault? What business plan? I don't know what you're talking about!"Her reaction left Judy thi

Chapter 439 Terrible Compensation

Judy bit her lip as she forced herself off the floor and limped away.There was a hint of contempt in Gwyneth's eyes as she watched Judy flee, though she put a hand around Liam's arm soon enough. "Let's go."The crowd slowly dispersed with the drama being over too.-Judy was bawling even as she rushed home, her mascara such a mess that it stained everywhere across her face—a harrowing sight.Even Gaspard was shocked by her appearance and promptly told her to wash everything off.When she was done, he finally asked, "So, what happened? Why were you crying your eyes out?"Judy had no choice but to tell her father everything at that point.However, she left out the details of being pushed to the floor and exposing herself in public. In reality, that was the reason she was bawling, since it left her exceedingly humiliated and with so many people watching!To no surprise, Gaspard was grimacing with heartache and thumping his own chest. "I knew there was something wrong with that b

Chapter 440 Breakup

"I have something important to tell you," Elizbaeth said. "It's about Hayden, and I'd like to meet in person since I can't explain it over the phone."Gwyneth pursed her lips. "Is he on the move again?"Elizabeth paused. "I guess so… Anyway, it's urgent. When are you free? Can we meet?""Noon tomorrow," Gwyneth said, though she soon remembered something else. "I'll decide on the address and send it to you later.""Okay!"Gwnyeht became thoughtful once she hung up.Elizabeth had been quiet for a while. And now, she was suddenly asking to meet, claiming that it was about Hayden and urgent.It sounded to Gwyneth that Elizabeth was more worried that she would not go… That woman had been fence-sitting constantly, never once sincere on holding up her end of the bargain despite agreeing to partner with Gwyneth. She never told the truth either, and it was the same this time—it would be yet another elaborate trap. It was why Gwyneth only agreed to meet her after insisting she decide
