Gwyneth gritted her teeth as she spoke those words."Y-You ungrateful girl!" Gaspard's blood boiled as he stared at his daughter. He wondered if she had lost her mind, since she had always been so obedient before.Gwyneth sneered. "Don't even bother thanking me. Instead of wasting your time, you should be thinking about your retirement plan.""Y-You...!" Gaspard was taken aback by Gwyneth's disrespect. He took a step forward, ready to strike, but someone grabbed his arm. It was his wife, Bianca White."Gwynnie, please. We're all family here. Can't we just try to get along?" Bianca implored, trying to calm the situation. She supported Gaspard, who was struggling to catch his breath. "Your father has missed you dearly for so long. If my presence is the issue, I can leave. Please don't misunderstand him," she continued, her tone filled with sadness and regret, evoking sympathy from those around her."Please, Ms. Glen, he's your father," someone interjected. "And Mr. Glen, please don'
At the same time, Gwyneth received a call from the hospital just as she got into her car."Elizabeth Lisle?"Gwyneth could not help but smirk when she heard that name from the other end of the phone. 'If I remember correctly, Elizabeth is Liam's love interest. He had frequently visited her in the hospital during our few years of marriage. And now, she's my patient. What a small world.'Gwyneth felt a chill when she recalled Liam telling her he had not signed the divorce papers yet. 'You want me to save your lover? Well, sign the papers,' She tapped her chin and thought, a cunning look flashing across her eyes.Wesley was driving on the road when he saw Gwyneth smiling in the rearview mirror. He could not help but shudder. 'From the look on Boss's face, I think someone is about to face some trouble...'At the hospital, Liam walked quickly to Elizabeth's ward. The cold expression he had on his face earlier slowly turned warmer.Elizabeth was lying on the hospital bed. "Liam, you're
The medical staff in the hospital knew about Gwyneth's temperament. Usually, she was kind and approachable, but she was cold and ruthless regarding her work. They were about to say a few words to Liam to lighten the mood when he turned around and left.Elizabeth was wheeled into the operating room as scheduled. Gwyneth followed the nurses without any emotions.The surgery went smoothly, and Gwyneth's work amazed every assisting medical staff.Liam waited outside the operating room and asked the other nurses about Gwen Lent. The emotions he was feeling were too much for him to bear."Dr. Lent doesn't come to the hospital much, but she's the first person we think of whenever we encounter a tricky situation," one of the nurses said after looking at how distraught Liam was, fangirling at the mention of Gwen."Yeah. Besides her superb medical skills, she's also very friendly. She mingles around with the staff when she's here." As the nurses talked about Gwyneth, they started to chat am
Judging from Liam's face, Gwyneth knew that she would not be able to leave without giving him an explanation. However, after five hours of intense surgery, she did not have the strength to deal with the man.Annoyed, she pulled up the hem of her clothes to reveal a burn mark on the side of her waist. "Please refrain from questioning my medical knowledge, Mr. Luther. I know what a burn and a scald look like. I can even differentiate them with my eyes closed."Gwyneth ignored the shock on Liam's face and continued, "Is this good enough for you? Do you see the obvious difference now? This is a burn from a fire; Elizabeth's mark is a scald due to boiling water." She pointed to the scar on her waist when she said that.Something flashed across Liam's mind, and he asked, "When did you get that?""I got it when I was younger. Why? Are you interested in knowing my past, Mr. Luther?"Gwyneth found it ridiculous that even though they were husband and wife, this was the first time she showed
Without giving Liam a chance to speak, Gwyneth turned around and left for the Luther residence. When she left the mansion that morning, she was too excited and had forgotten to double-check her belongings. So, she was afraid she missed a few of her items.The butler was glad that Gwyneth was back. But happiness turned into disappointment when he learned she was there to pack her things. "Young Madam, is there no way that you and Mr. Luther...""Don't say anything, Edward." Gwyneth smiled at Edward and went upstairs to find her room, which was a guest room. She had lived in this mansion for three years; to say she was not sad was impossible. However, she knew that those emotions would subside over time.Gwyneth was in the middle of gathering her items when a familiar voice sounded behind her. "Where do you think you're going?"Annoyed, Gwyneth rolled her eyes and turned to see Liam leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed. "My, my. What do we have here? Mr. Luther, who practi
"Young Madam..." The servants addressed Gwyneth as she walked out of the room on the second floor.Gwyneth knew that Liam was the one who set this up, but there was no reason for her to get mad at the help. Hence, she stood in the kitchen and imagined that the egg in her pan was Liam. "What a psycho," she muttered."What? Are you disappointed that the only thing I did last night was spoon you?" A sudden voice sounded from behind.Gwyneth was so startled that she nearly knocked over the frying pan. "Hey! Can you stop coming behind me and scaring me like that?!" She turned around and looked at Liam, mad at how he was acting and especially since he refused to sign the papers when he was the one who initiated the divorce."Hmm. Tell me what's worse, Mrs. Luther. Scaring someone from behind or talking shit about them behind their back?"Liam examined the woman in front of him. She was in a loose loungewear with her hair tied up and had no makeup on, which gave her a clean look. He had
Gwyneth ran back to the guest room and sat on the newly made bed, panting heavily. After a while, she rushed into the bathroom as if she had thought of something. She took off her clothes and turned the shower on. The thought of being held by Liam all night made her sick, especially after he grabbed her chin.Gwyneth exited the bathroom after more than ten minutes, her chin red from an intense scrub. It was enough to show how much she hated Liam's touch. Fortunately, the shower made her feel better.While unpacking her suitcase, she grabbed her phone and called Wesley. She loathed staying with Liam for three more months and had to rearrange her plans if she was doing it."What do you need, Boss?" Wesley asked from the other side of the phone."Put the international piano competition on the agenda.""The one where they invited you to become one of the judges? Didn't you decide that you weren't going, Boss?""Make an itinerary and book the flights," Gwyneth said without answering W
Gwyneth could not hold herself back from rolling her eyes at Liam. 'This man is literally crazy. It's a pity, really. Too bad I'm not sensitive enough to go along with his madness.'"Thank you for your interest, Mr. Luther. However, I'm sleepy and not in the mood right now." Before Liam could say anything, Gwyneth faked a smile, reclined her seat, and leaned against it.This made Liam mad. He had never taken the initiative to hear someone out, let alone be rejected after making the offer. He looked at Gwyneth, who had her eyes closed, and when he saw her eyelashes flutter, it stirred up emotions in his heart.Just as Liam was about to continue speaking, his phone rang abruptly. He frowned slightly and grabbed his phone to see who it was. When he saw the name on the screen, he smiled at Gwyneth and answered the call."Mr. Luther...""Is something wrong, Judy?" Liam had never called Judy by her first name before, but he deliberately did it this time for Gwyneth to hear.Judy was un
