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

"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 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

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

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
