Before Liam came to his senses, Gwyneth had already opened their wardrobe and packed everything into her suitcase."What's the hurry?"He was left smiling in wry amusement—he really thought Gwyneth would stay in Glido longer since it was rare for her to relax. Instead, she was done after just a couple of days.Still, noting how quick and determined she was packing up, Liam tactfully did not press the issue. Instead, he planned their next trip in his head for when their schedules freed up—whatever reasons Gwyneth had, he wanted to have more time with her alone.After packing their bags, they headed to the front desk to check out, so by the time Helen returned to ask about Gwyneth, all she got was nothing. Finding no one in her room either, she had to ask the hotel staff about Gwyneth and Liam or where they went.Though they could not give her any good answers, it only made Helen positive that Gwyneth was Niki. Would a plain Jane go that far to hide her tracks otherwise?Moreover

"It's simple." Helen looked Gwyneth in the eye with a smile. "I told you I wanted you to paint for me the first time we met. You're already exposed as I've broken down your habits in detail, so why deny it? Perhaps you're worried that I'd expose you as Niki?""If memory serves, I told you that I'm not Niki," Gwyneth replied, glaring at her coldly and just stopping short of projecting disgust on her face.Somehow, Helen found her words amusing. "Please, Niki. Would your art bear the same intricacies otherwise? Isn't your eagerness to avoid me also proof that you're worried that I would expose you?"Pausing for a moment as if sensing her displeasure, Helen shrugged innocently, "Don't worry, though—I'm your loyal fan, and I mean no harm. All I feel toward you is admiration.""And yet, your behavior has severely affected my life." Gwyneth appeared unmoved, her fingers tapping on the table even as an idea occurred to her. "And did you think you're Niki's only fan? I don't mind telling y

It was not as if the designers Wanda sent were not ideal, but they were simply incompatible with the jewelry company's ideals.The difference in opinion meant they were not seeing what they wanted—that was the conclusion Gwyneth came up with after reading their decades worth of designs.Having understood the issue and finding an opening, inspiration flowed into her mind endlessly. To come up with a flawless design without being disturbed, she told Liam she was going on a business trip, and she worked at a hotel room alone finishing it.Once she started to work on something, she sought perfection or she would not have started at all.She was also secluded from the rest of the world over those few days without being in touch with anyone.Wanda was unable to locate her, while the jewelry company continued to pressure them occasionally with annulling their deal. The back-and-forth exchange left monumental pressure on Wanda's shoulders, and she actually lost a few pounds.Everyone els

Gwyneth turned away, making it clear she would not talk—speaking further was pointless anyway, though her stubbornness left Helen utterly agitated. In a fit of frenzy, she pulled off Gwyneth's blanket and paused for a moment when she spotted something. Then, before Gwyneth could react, she pulled out the jewelry design blueprint from Gwyneth's bag.It was the early draft, but it was still stunning nonetheless—and Helen certainly remembered the artstyle to be identical to Niki's! "You were saying you're not Niki, but how do you explain this, then?" Helen snorted as she straightened herself and stared down on Gwyneth, having seized leverage against Gwyneth in no time at all. "Why don't you say that you're copying Niki with this design style too?""Give it back!" Gwyneth was already fuming that her bag was snatched away while she was caught off guard, and Helen's attitude only left her further infuriated.Refraining from getting physical, she warned Helen coolly, "Whether I'm Niki

"That's the only thing you're asking?"Gwyneth was left gaping. She gave Liam such a clear chance to ask, but he refused to take it! Wait, could this simply be the calm before the storm?"What, is this trivial to you?" Liam asked as he stood above her before she could think, clearly looking upset. "The last time you were admitted was because of your irregular diet, leading to digestive issues too. It's just been a few days since we've been apart, and you've tormented yourself to this state—why do I get the feeling you're actually proud too?"After lecturing her, Liam soon remembered, "Didn't you tell me that you were on a business trip? I wasn't told that there were any AMC projects that needed travel."Well, what goes around comes around.At this point, even if she did not tell Liam now, he would find out during the product launch.With that, Gwyneth took a deep breath and mulled her words before saying, "It was a business trip… but not what you have in mind. I needed to com
