Chapter 97

Penulis: Maureen Green
It was exactly what Aspen wanted. There was no way Gwyneth could just move on and live a peaceful life now—not after what she had done to them.

She had made their lives a living hell, so it was only fair for her to finally experience what it felt like to lose sleep over it.

When the reporters bombarded her with questions, Aspen handled it with grace and poise, earning plenty of praise. She took this opportunity not only to officially acknowledge her identity but also to send a clear message—she was exceptional.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and she was determined to make sure the whole world knew her name—she was Aspen Nicholls, not some pathetic caged canary or Mrs. Fuller.

Watching her effortlessly take control of the situation, Colin found himself seeing her in a new light. He had always assumed she was just a woman who only cared about grocery store prices, but clearly, he had underestimated her.

It almost felt like Aspen was a completely different person. The old As

    Aspen's humility and confidence once again won everyone's favor. All those present were filled with admiration and anticipation for this young, accomplished female CEO.Colin stood outside the crowd, coldly observing the scene of Aspen surrounded by admirers. His heart was like an overturned bottle of mixed spices, with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors all rushing to his mind. He realized that this time he might truly lose—and that too to the woman he had once dismissed completely. This realization gave him an unprecedented sense of defeat and humiliation.Gwyneth also felt the change in atmosphere throughout the venue. She saw everyone's attitude toward Aspen and heard their praises, which made her heart grow increasingly anxious.She gripped Colin's arm tightly and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Colin, what do we do? Aspen seems... She seems to be winning."Colin remained silent, his face terrifyingly dark. After all, what Gwyneth said was true. Aspen's p

    However, compared to Aspen's, Colin's proposal seemed somewhat standard and lacking in highlights and innovation. Moreover, when answering the judges' questions, his performance was less than satisfactory, and he was left speechless several times by the judges' inquiries, even revealing some obvious flaws and mistakes.The judges below showed little interest in Colin's proposal. Several of them even began looking through other companies' materials during his presentation, clearly dissatisfied with his performance. Colin also realized his own failure. He could sense the judges' changing attitudes and see the mockery and glee hidden in the eyes of other companies' representatives. This huge sense of disparity filled Colin's heart with frustration and anger. He originally believed he could easily win this investor conference as usual, crushing all competitors. However, reality once again dealt him a heavy blow. He felt Aspen's appearance had completely disrupted his plans, givi

    Colin became increasingly agitated. Aspen—the woman he'd once trampled underfoot—now stood at a height he couldn't reach. It dealt a tremendous blow to his proud ego.Gwyneth, sitting beside Colin, keenly noticed his unusual behavior. She'd noticed that since Aspen had gone on stage, his gaze had been following her constantly, his expression complex and his face dark. Alarm bells immediately went off in her mind. She suspected that his thoughts were probably turning uncontrollably toward Aspen again."Colin, Ms. Nicholls is really impressive today, isn't she?" Gwyneth said with forced casualness and a hint of testing in her tone. She tried to mask her anxiety by complimenting Aspen, hoping to gauge Colin's reaction.Hearing Gwyneth's words, Colin's frown deepened. He shot Gwyneth a cold glance and said in an annoyed tone, "So what if she's impressive? It's just smooth talk to show off."Gwyneth hadn't expected Colin's reaction to be so intense, and she froze momentarily as her sm

    Aspen's team members excitedly high-fived each other, their faces beaming with excitement and joy. Aspen stood on stage and smiled gently at the audience. Her demeanor was calm and composed, as if everything was proceeding exactly as she had anticipated. Her gaze casually swept over Colin in the audience, and the corners of her mouth curled into a meaningful smile.After the results of the first round were announced, the atmosphere in the venue quickly settled, with the air filled with an even more tense and subtly charged feeling. Representatives from various companies continued to chat and exchange pleasantries on the surface, but their eyes now carried a more serious and scrutinizing look.Everyone knew full well that the real competition had only just begun.After a short break, the investor conference entered the more crucial second round—the Q&A session. This round tested not only the quality of each company's proposal but also their ability to think on their feet and th

    Rage burned within Gwyneth's heart, and she wanted nothing more than to rush over and confront Aspen. However, reason helped her control her impulse. She knew that today's investor conference was more important than arguing with Aspen."Ms. Nicholls, aren't you a funny one? Gwyneth has always had her own style." Colin finally spoke up in a cold and distant tone that revealed no emotion. He tried to defend Gwyneth, but his words sounded hollow and more like a flimsy excuse.Aspen merely glanced at Colin, her eyes full of disdain and contempt. She couldn't be bothered to waste words with Colin and simply led her team into the venue.Gwyneth watched Aspen's group walk away with a grim expression. She gritted her teeth, her nails digging deeply into her palm as anger and resentment filled her heart. She thought, "Just wait, Aspen! Today, I'm going to make you pay!"Colin sensed Gwyneth's fury and gently patted the back of her hand, whispering, "Ignore her. Let's go inside."Gwynet

    Today, Gwyneth looked truly beautiful and gentle, reminiscent of someone from Colin's memory."Colin, what do you think of my outfit today?" Gwyneth affectionately held Colin's arm and asked in a sweet voice that carried a hint of nervousness and anticipation.Colin snapped back to reality and forced a smile as he nodded. He replied, "It looks good on you. Very suitable."His tone was somewhat dismissive, and his eyes wandered. It was obvious that his thoughts were elsewhere. However, Gwyneth didn't notice his unusual behavior and secretly felt proud after hearing his compliment.She had put considerable effort into today's appearance, not only studying Aspen's photos but also consulting a professional stylist. She believed that she would surely catch Colin's eye and make him completely forget about Aspen.The two walked side by side toward the venue's entrance. Just as they reached the door, they ran into Aspen and her team. This unexpected encounter caused the air to seeming

    Aspen read Aren's reply and smiled, feeling confident.Riley secretly texted Aspen, "Ms. Nicholls, Colin will be bringing Gwyneth to the investor conference. Be careful."When Aspen saw Riley's text, her gaze sharpened slightly. She smirked as she replied, "Got it. Thank you."...At the investor conference venue, undercurrents from various powers swirled beneath the surface. Aspen confidently entered the hall with her team. Colin arrived shortly after with Gwyneth on his arm. All eyes focused on this upcoming business spectacle.The investor conference was held in the most luxurious hotel downtown, where crystal chandeliers shone brilliantly, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day. Red carpets covered the floor, flowers adorned every corner, and a subtle fragrance permeated the air, all indicating the grandeur of this major business event. Aspen arrived at the venue with her team half an hour early. She wore a well-tailored black business suit that was simple and eff

    Aren sat in his office, his fingers gently tapping on the desk, his gaze deep and distant. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.Meanwhile, Gwyneth's cooking skills improved dramatically. She not only learned to make various delicate pastries but also mastered techniques to prepare many gourmet dishes. She began preparing lunch boxes for Colin every day, filled with a variety of dishes that were nutritionally balanced and beautifully arranged. Colin looked at Gwyneth's carefully prepared lunchbox and showed a rare smile. "Gwyneth, your cooking skills have improved a lot lately."Hearing Colin's praise, Gwyneth felt secretly delighted and quickly responded in a sweet voice, "Really? I'm glad you like it. I'll make lunch boxes for you every day from now on and make sure you always have delicious and healthy lunches."Colin nodded and picked up his spoon, slowly beginning to eat his lunch. The food tasted good indeed, but his mind wasn't on the meal at all. He watched as Gwyn

    Gwyneth didn't seem to notice Colin's discomfort as she happily took his arm and said sweetly, "Really? I knew it! This outfit is so classy. I feel like a completely different person wearing it."Colin remained silent, just allowing Gwyneth to hold his arm. His gaze unconsciously fell on Gwyneth's face, and he felt that her makeup today also seemed different from before.Even Riley had noticed that Gwyneth's changes had become increasingly obvious. Not only had her clothing style shifted, but her tone of voice and even some subtle movements deliberately mimicked Aspen's.He watched as Gwyneth pretended to be gentle in front of Colin and secretly shook his head. He knew what she was thinking and understood her intentions, but he felt her approach was incredibly foolish."Ms. Sanders has changed a lot recently," Riley casually remarked to Colin while organizing files. Colin looked up, his eyes somewhat confused. "Changed? What changes?"Riley smiled, hinting at something as he rep
