"Sure, let's be friends," Gwyneth responded to Liam. She had no intention of pursuing a romantic relationship with him, but if they could be friends, it might not be so bad. With that thought in mind, she looked up at Liam and found him less annoying than before.Gwyneth's unequivocal agreement seemed to relax Liam, as if he had let out a sigh of relief. He exhaled deeply and suggested, "Well, it's getting late, let's go back."Of course, Gwyneth knew exactly what Liam meant by "go back." She had just agreed to stay with him in the Luther residence for a few more months, so she didn't want to cause a scene. That is, if Elizabeth wasn't in the picture.During the ride, they engaged in casual conversation, mainly discussing the issues surrounding Glen Corporation. Larry was driving and occasionally glanced at them through the rearview mirror, noticing the harmonious atmosphere between the two.Upon their return to the Luther residence, Liam belatedly realized that there was no one av
After removing some fish bones, a sudden thought struck Gwyneth like a lightning bolt. 'How much longer can I really stay in this house? I don't think I should make this kind of commitment.'Initially, Gwyneth had intended to offer Liam some advice, but as these thoughts flooded her mind, her words became lodged in her throat. A fleeting sense of detachment flickered within her, but it passed so quickly that she didn't dwell on what that feeling was. Perhaps it was nothing more than a habitual response.Despite the turmoil brewing within her, Gwyneth managed to maintain a composed expression, convinced that Liam wouldn't detect any hint of her emotional state. Unbeknownst to her, however, Liam's cutlery continued their rhythmic dance, while his gaze remained steadfastly fixed on her. Maybe it was the unmistakable display of emotions on Gwyneth's face that momentarily unsettled Liam, leaving him unable to utter another word.The following day, Liam insisted on driving Gwyneth to work
Gwyneth turned to Liam. "Mr. Luther," she said, "if you find yourself with no pressing matters, perhaps it would be best for you to retire to your room for some well-deserved rest." Deep down, she knew that her concentration would be far sharper without Liam's presence hovering around.To her surprise, Liam met her gaze head-on, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. He smiled unabashedly at her in front of these candidates.His reaction left Gwyneth stunned and the candidates looking foolish.Among the candidates, several of them were young, their wide-eyed infatuation for Liam's undeniable charms all too apparent. They couldn't help but gape at him, their jaws nearly hitting the floor in awe."Wh-What do you mean?" Her voice quivered with confusion, her thoughts tangled in a web of uncertainty."Honey," Liam replied, "if you're here, helping me manage this household, how could I possibly retreat to my room and rest? My place is by your side."If Gwyneth didn't know what kind of per
Liam didn't confirm with Gwyneth or inquire further before decisively agreeing to help her. It caught Gwyneth off guard, as she hadn't anticipated such a swift response. Although she referred to it as her "reward," deep down, she knew it was merely an excuse or a pretense.Having been together for three years and being the CEO of AMC herself, Gwyneth couldn't be oblivious to Liam's powerful and efficient approach to business matters. The Luther Corporation was known to strike fear into the hearts of small enterprises with just the mention of its name. And as for Liam, his enigmatic aura alone could leave anyone gasping for air.Gwyneth never expected that Liam, with all his intensity, would agree to her so effortlessly.Though doubts lingered in her heart, she found herself unable to articulate them. Liam had extended his assistance, and her gratitude ran deep. Yet, Gwyneth understood that any future interactions with him would likely be confined to the realm of corporate affairs.
In a moment fueled by alcohol and her swirling emotions, Gwyneth found herself unveiling her vulnerability to Liam, a step she had never taken before.The act of dealing with her own father, Gaspard Glen, was an agonizing experience, made even more unbearable by the unsettling fact that Gaspard appeared to relish in it."You used your power to strip away his authority and resources," Liam spoke up. "How could he simply let it slide?"Gwyneth looked up and gazed at Liam in front of her. He had a gentle expression in his eyes. The rays of the evening sun streamed through the window, casting a soft, radiant glow upon his cheek.Suddenly, Gwyneth felt like she was being melodramatic, never before had she let her emotions get the best of her. After all, since her mother's passing, her relationship with the Glens was nothing more than enemies with blood connection.Gwyneth seemed lost in thought for a while, and Liam started to feel a bit uneasy. "Why are you looking at me like that?" h
As Liam's words came to a halt, a wave of astonishment swept through not just Chuck, but even Gwyneth was caught off guard. This was no trifling matter, and humor had no place here. The gravity of the subject demanded utmost seriousness."Mr. Luther, uh..." Chuck blinked and looked at Liam, involuntarily swallowing his saliva. After all, Luther Corporation had never participated in a project collaboration like this. But if Liam really decided to get involved, the funding and the process would undoubtedly be more stable."Mr. Luther," Chuck stammered, his eyes widening as he turned to face Liam, his throat involuntarily swallowing hard. Luther Corporation had never ventured into such a collaborative project before. But if Liam was truly committed to this endeavor, it would undoubtedly bring stability to the funding and the entire process.With a firm voice, Liam proposed, "What do you say? If Luther Corporation joins forces with us, we will make certain that the project is completed
Elizabeth's eyes were moist as she spoke. She thought that appearing like this might soften Liam's heart. But to her disappointment, she waited for what felt like an eternity, yet Liam never uttered any words of persuasion. He didn't even make an attempt to stop her as she turned to leave. This transformed her feigned sadness into genuine heartbreak.Elizabeth tightly gripped her handbag, hesitating for a moment before finally turning away.If an onlooker were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly feel sympathy for Elizabeth. However, Gwyneth had grown accustomed to seeing Elizabeth in such a state. In comparison, it was the reaction of the man beside her that intrigued her."Hey..." Gwyneth began.Liam was just about to leave when Gwyneth's sudden remark caught his attention, causing him to pause in his tracks. "What is it?" he asked.Gwyneth blurted out her words without thinking, her brain feeling like it had gone haywire. She couldn't quite comprehend why she was sayin
As Gwyneth spoke, she placed her phone directly in front of Liam, wanting him to look at something in the phone.Liam picked up the phone and examined the images on the left and right. Although there were no explicit labels, the contrast was evident, something anyone could discern. He asked, "Are all the scars like this?"Gwyneth replied, "Every scar may have some variations, but the fundamental elements remain the same."Liam had no doubts about Gwyneth's medical expertise. However, the last trace of doubt now fell upon Elizabeth. In fact, from the beginning of the investigation until now, the clues and evidence had gradually become clear.But deep down, Liam still believed in Elizabeth, after all, they had known each other for so many years. Even though he was well aware of the thoughts Elizabeth had about him, he dismissed it. He believed that Elizabeth's intentions were pure and that she wouldn't deceive him.The more Liam delved into his thoughts, the more he became tangled a
