Chapter 491 Humiliated with Money

Gwyneth asked Aubrey directly, "Hey, what's wrong?"She knew her best friend enough to tell that Aubrey only came to her because there was trouble.Aubrey was certainly keen on escaping Liam's glare too. "Oh, you know me best, dear! You're the wisest person I've ever known bar none!"Gwyneth rolled her eyes at her bubbly mischief. "Get to the point!""Dearie, remember the design you gave me during our trip to the hot springs? Check this out—don't you think it's the same design?"Gwyneth took Aubrey's phone and compared her own design sheet with the design on the screen—someone was clearly plagiarizing her work! After all, there was no such thing as two designs sharing a 99% similarity!Understanding the severity of the issue, Gwyneth asked, "Did you find the designer?""Yeah—I have everything there is to know on her, but I'm impressed in a way," Aubrey growled grumpily. "I mean, using someone else's design for a competition?!"She hated devious people like Robin Walt the most.

Chapter 492 Giving a Push

Once Chuck finished, he straightened himself in his seat and suddenly appeared high and mighty, as if there was nothing his money could not buy!Aubrey was left seething and slammed her hands on the table as she prepared to flip the table.Nonetheless, Gwyneth gestured subtly for her to stop.Leaving a government official like Chuck around would lead to more problems. Still, they could afford to spare him for the time being and wait for events to develop, then bring it all down once the timing was right.As such, Aubrey decided against flipping the table and shot Chuck a look of naked contempt. "I don't need your shitty money!"Chuck was immediately left furious by her insult. How dare a runt like her take that tone with him, who was always fawned upon by many?!His nice guy persona fading right then, his face contorted as he snapped, "Watch your language! I'm the judge of the competition, and you should be honored that I'm offering to buy your design! Show some integrity, or the

Chapter 493 Turning the Tables

While Robin was convinced that she was the smartest person alive, she had no idea that Gwyneth was watching her.In fact, by the time she left the private room, Root had already emailed Gwyneth the footage of her conversation with Chuck.Gwyneth was sneering even as she checked through the entire video, and she called Wanda. "Drop what you're doing for the moment. I need a favor…"Over the next two days, Gwyneth and Aubrey acted as if nothing happened, even hitting massage parlors and having afternoon tea together if they were not working. They appeared oblivious to anything happening online, and Aubrey was especially shocked when Robin called.Robin seemed to have changed dramatically, earnestly repentant and apologizing—stopping short of kowtowing to Aubrey.Aubrey hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed to set up a meeting between Robin and the designer.As soon as she relented, Robin eagerly asked about the time and venue for the meeting before hanging up.Once she did,

Chapter 494 Just a Doodle

In the apology video, Robin portrayed herself as a poor, compassionate maiden while painting Wanda as the selfish, unreasonable senior."Hello everyone, I'm Robin. I'm sorry we have to meet like this, as I understand that there have been speculations leveled against me. I never offered an explanation because I personally did not want to waste the public's time, but who knew…"She trailed off as if choking with tears before continuing, "Yes, my initial entry for the design competition wasn't my work but a fellow student Wanda Lewis'. She encouraged me to take part in the first place, and she's very nice, but there are times when she's obsessed with winning. When I realized she went behind my back to switch my entry during the first round, I immediately confronted her and tried to clear my name, but who knew…"Aubrey was clicking her tongue even as she watched the apology video solemnly. "Tut, tut… why don't you introduce such a talent to the directors you know for a period drama? Jus

Chapter 495 Fatigue

With all the drama behind her now, Gwyneth's life was back on track.One could actually argue it always had been on track if not for the couple of people who could affect her, with Liam being one.-There was a knock on Gwyneth's office door, and Aubrey soon showed up smiling and cheerful as always. "My dear Ms. Glen—it's now 12 PM. Time for lunch, remember that you're only human! Come on, there's this new restaurant with Michelin chefs. Let's try it out. It's my treat!"Gwyneth, however, knew her long enough to know what she was up to as soon as she spoke."Out with it already. What do you need my help with?""Haha! You know me best, darling! Come on—let's go for lunch, and I'll tell you along the way."Time waits for no man, and Aubrey was one who valued time greatly. It turned out that she was invited to a dance competition, and she wanted to take first place even if she was a great dancer. And since the competition allowed her to dance anywhere, she decided she would do

Chapter 496 Voluntary Delivery

Henry could not bring himself to scold Aubrey when she was in that condition, and his angry visage cooled, leaving only love and pain on his face.Gently straightening her hair, Henry gave in and said, "Promise me that you'll diet within reason—not like this.""Roger! It won't happen again!" Aubrey was too chipper to see that he was calm and promptly tried to salute him, forgetting that she had an IV tube attached to her wrist.The sudden pain left her grimacing. It hurt Henry to look, and he quickly called in a nurse to help fix it.After staying the night for observation, Henry got her discharged the next day, unable to resist her cajoling. He volunteered himself to be a delivery man to ensure that she was properly eating and dieting healthily. No matter rain, sleet, or snow, he would deliver food without fail if Aubrey was practicing.Each meal was personally arranged by a Michelin star chef as well, whereas Aubrey's dance improved after training for a while.And thanks to t

Chapter 497 Pride of the Nation

Gwyneth could feel Root's thrill even from the other end, and any hacker worth their salt knew what he was talking about.She was furious at the time too and destroyed that hacker with clandestine means, since she could not reveal herself yet, making him vanish in a week—only Gwyneth knew where he was now. It was the past to her now since she had already restored her nation's pride and was surprised that it left such an impression with Root.She was going to tell him the truth, but Root spoke before she could, "I didn't call you on a whim, Ms. Glen—I'm dead sure you have what it takes to make our country's fellow hackers proud!"Then, as if worried that Gwyneth would not agree to it, Root added, "Right now, there are plenty of people abroad who are belittling us! We can only improve ourselves in silence because our work is special, and now the time has come! I'm begging you, Ms. Glen—you have to take part!"He was certainly encouraging, and Gwyneth would be lying if she said she

Chapter 498 Tending to His Flock

Root arrived soon after they did, and Liam texted him the address just as he and Gwyneth left the house.A look was all it took for him to communicate with her thanks to their powerful bond!Naturally, the ensuing week was an exceedingly busy one for Gwyneth, since she had to train Root and rehearse with Aubrey.Still, it was fulfilling work with delightful results, since Gwyneth's mentoring improved Root's abilities as a hacker by leaps and bounds, though he was still far beneath her and defeated over a dozen times.Bzzt—Gwyneth's phone vibrated, interrupting the silence in their training room. Seeing that it was Aubrey, she answered, "What's up, Aubrey?""Get over here, Gwyneth. This is a matter of life and death! I've already sent you the address—I'm waiting!"Gwyneth turned serious since she heard the urgency in her voice—would it kill that runt to say what was happening?"Did something happen, Ms. Glen? Do you need my help?" Root asked, ready to serve since he saw the loo

Chapter 499 Adulterated Goods

The air was rife with tension, but Simon laughed loudly, breaking the silence in just five seconds. "Haha! You're such a comedian, Mr. Munroe! Fire extinguishers in this day and age? But if you want, I have other gifts in store."Henry was certainly smart enough to get his meaning, though he was also curious what Simon was up to after almost killing one of his men.One of Simon's lackeys then threw a stack of photos in front of Henry, but Simon snapped at him, "Watch it! He's a CEO—you should know enough to show delicacy around him!"He even gave the man a nudge with his foot before arranging the photos on the table neatly and pushing it toward Henry. "Everything here is HD," he said with a sly look in his eyes.His 'friendly warning' was not lost on Henry, and he slammed his hand on the table as he sprang to his feet and grabbed Simon by the collar! How dare he set up his brother-in-arms! "Tell me, what do you want?!" Tensions skyrocketed in the room due to his reaction, b

Chapter 500 Getting More Than You Bargained For

Gwyneth said, "Gather all the evidence."Root inserted a USB stick into his computer and went to work in an instant, though it took him ten minutes this time."Done!" He pulled out the USB stick right after and handed it to Gwyneth, at once nervous and hopeful.She was a divine being to him, and her critique was his lifeblood. "Acceptable," she said calmly, sparing him a glance.Aubrey thought the single-word reply was exceedingly harsh of Gwyneth. Surely Root's performance was far better than 'acceptable'! And yet, Root could barely hide his excitement for some reason…One's assessment differed from where one was standing—from Gwyneth's point of view, Root's performance was passable before his training.Now, he had improved by leaps and bounds in a week—not everyone could do that.Nonetheless, they certainly had the advantage now that they have leverage against Simon, but it was not the time to be content just yet.To prepare a devastating ambush against Simon, Henry kept
