Not long after Gwyneth and Aubrey woke up the next morning, there was a knock at the door.Gwyneth had freshened up. She hurried over to the door when she heard the knock. She saw Henry and a woman standing by the door. It went without saying that this woman was the one who had hurt Aubrey.When Henry saw Gwyneth, he gave her a small nod. Then he grasped his girlfriend's arm and entered the ward.Aubrey had just woken up, she was still drowsy due to the pain in her forehead. She was surprised to see Henry. She was about to express her annoyance when she saw the woman standing behind him, Aubrey's expression darkened right away."Aubrey…"Henry scowled and looked at his girlfriend. He urged, "We agreed that you'd say sorry to Aubrey because of yesterday's incident."Gwyneth closed the door, crossed her arms, leaned against the wall, and watched everything happen in silence.The woman still had a resentful look on her face and was reluctant to apologize. After she lowered her gaz
Henry was startled to hear Gwyneth's words, but he said nothing. He had caused Aubrey's injury and was already feeling guilty. He could not bear his girlfriend attempting to falsely accuse Aubrey.When Henry brought up legal action, the woman gained newfound strength and escaped his hold. She threatened, "Take me to court? Are you trying to terrify me? Tell you what! I'm the daughter of the Clems!""The Clems?"Gwyneth did not repeat this on purpose, she was bewildered because she had never heard of this family before.Gwyneth and Aubrey were viewed as inexperienced and green by that woman. Ms. Clem stated, "What? You haven't heard of Clem Group? We're in the jewelry business, and I'm their heiress!"Henry stood aside and started to worry about his ex-girlfriend."Oh, the Clems…"Gwyneth gave a thoughtful nod, and a smile flickered in her eyes. She found this woman hilarious. "What do you say? Do you feel fear? If you did, then let's…"Ms. Clem spoke triumphantly, but then sh
Even though Aubrey was aware of Gwyneth's abilities, the abrupt change that happened within this short time still took her by surprise. Aubrey was not particularly relieved as she sat on the hospital bed and observed Ms. Clem sobbing before her.She peered at Gwyneth and Henry, focusing specifically on Henry's expression.To put it bluntly, she had already accepted the apology and did not lack the money to cover her medical expenses. It was resolved at this point and she simply needed an explanation."Take her away," Aubrey said softly with an ethereal voice.Hearing this, Henry remained silent but felt the need to clarify a few things. However, the time was not right to say them.After the two left, Gwyneth examined Aubrey's wound and asked casually, "Do you blame Henry for this?"Aubrey was stunned to hear this. She stared at her friend and chuckled lightly, saying, "Well, your trick might work on others, but not me."Gwyneth glared at Aubrey, and the two exchanged looks bef
Liam asked, "Elizabeth?"When Aubrey brought up Elizabeth, Liam was taken aback. Looking back, he had shown Elizabeth a lot of kindness and consideration over the years.First of all, Elizabeth had never made a fuss and was always quiet and well-behaved. Second, and perhaps more importantly, he believed that she had saved him from the fire. She had saved his life.Liam did not have concrete proof yet, but the newly discovered information had proven this. At this point, Liam was unsure if Gwyneth was the one who had saved him, but he could definitively rule out Elizabeth.All Liam could do was keep treating Elizabeth as a friend after discovering the lie and the unfavorable truth. He was now making as many amends as he could after the effects of years of deceit.After weighing his thoughts, Liam settled into the chair by the bed. He knitted his eyebrows lightly, then relaxed.Aubrey asked, "So, all in all, am I correct to say that you are treating Ms. Lisle as an old friend?"Aub
It might be that Liam's words were too shocking or his voice was too soft, but Gwyneth struggled to understand what he was saying. She blinked and dropped the pillow to the ground. She questioned, "What do you mean?"Although the two of them lived under the same roof, the tone and content of his words seemed strange and a little unsettling to Gwyneth.She looked at Liam, then at Aubrey. There was no doubt that both were eagerly awaiting her reply. She ground her teeth, bent over to pick up the pillow from the floor, dusted it off, and made an effort to hide her feelings. She said, "You can go ahead, I need to take care of Aubrey."Aubrey said, "It's okay, you don't have to take care of me. Also, didn't you just find a nurse for me? Don't worry about me."Gwyneth grew suspicious about which side her best friend was on.Liam added, "Aubrey won't be able to get a good night's sleep if you stay here."Liam's sarcastic remark caught Aubrey off guard, and she cackled.Gwyneth was unim
Gwyneth gently rocked her body while staring at Liam with interest. She asked, "You just wanted to explain this? I get it now."Gwyneth was unsure of his plans, but she had to admit that hearing Liam explain the situation about Elizabeth gave her great relief. She assumed there had to be more to it, given his somber demeanor.Liam's gaze softened when he saw that Gwyneth was listening to him. Before responding, he briefly turned his attention away and stared at his empty teacup. He continued, "I also want to say that even though our marriage contract is due, the two of us aren't over."Even though Gwyneth was not particularly shocked by Liam's statement, she was still a little taken aback. If it were not for Liam's serious tone, Gwyneth might have assumed that this guy was talking in his sleep.Gwyneth protested, "Mr. Luther, are you kidding me? Our three-year marriage contract is now overdue."Liam admitted, "I know. Theoretically speaking, this suggestion makes no sense."Gwyne
Liam exhaled a sigh of relief after they agreed to the terms of the contract. He would work tirelessly to accomplish his goal after becoming aware of his feelings. This decision prompted Liam to display various gestures of goodwill, most of which left Gwyneth unsure of how to react.One morning after the two had breakfast, Gwyneth went back to her room to grab her coat and documents. Liam was gone by the time she went downstairs.Initially, Gwyneth did not think much about it because she assumed he had gone straight to the office. However, she was shocked to discover Liam waiting outside after she put on her coat. He was well-groomed, leaning against the car, and bowed his head to fasten his cufflinks.Gwyneth asked curiously, "You…What are you doing?"Liam slowly raised his head, his eyes displaying a hint of amusement. The man responded, "I'm giving you a ride.""Giving me a ride?" A stupefied Gwyneth repeated after him.She needed some time to process this. After bringing her
As the distance between the two people gradually narrowed, Gaspard could no longer stand it and yelled, "Gwyneth!"It was the time of the day when employees arrived at their workplace. Many Glen Corporation employees were going in and out of the building. When they heard this, they could not help but look at them.Gwyneth scowled and sported a fake smile, asking, "Mr. Glen, what can I do for you?"Liam was standing not far from Gwyneth. He watched with crossed arms and had no intention of stepping forward. Up to this point, the two had never talked about Gwyneth's family, but Liam knew that his wife did not want him to get involved in her family affairs just yet.Gaspard swept his eyes at Liam after hearing this. He was relieved when Liam remained silent. Gaspard roared, "Gwyneth! I'm asking you! Why can't I enter the office? Did you do this to me?""You don't have to speak so loudly. I'm still young, and my hearing is fine," Gwyneth mocked in a helpless tone.Liam chuckled sec
