Semua Bab The Masked Symphony of Mrs. Luther: Bab 281 - Bab 290

Liam felt his head go blank in an instant and had to hold on to his desk to keep standing.Startled by his reaction, Elizabeth started to reach out to him, only for him to slap her hand off. Flustered and furious, she screamed as if issuing an ultimatum, "I don't have the time to wait for you, Liam! Give me an answer, even if you don't mean it!"However, she was left staring blankly as Liam took a moment to calm down, picked up his jacket, and strode outside.She quickly gave chase while shrieking, "What are you doing?! Do you think you can leave without a word?! No way!"Although Liam's shirt was already drenched with sweat in the minute since he got the call, he did not have the patience for Elizabeth's crap. His eyes turned red right then, while his face contorted with beastly savagery."I'm warning you, Elizabeth…" he growled. "Watch yourself. Test me again, and you'll realize you're way out of your depth."Elizabeth was left unable to speak by his glare, and even her breat

The look on Liam's face sent Gwyneth flinching and hurting her a little when she did not feel any pain at first. However, the man looked so delighted anyone would think that there was something worth celebrating."You're awake. How are you feeling?" he asked."C-Could you not look at me like that, Mr. Luther?" Gwyneth asked in turn—she was supposed to be the one hurt here.In fact, it felt like Liam had a few screws loose in his head…That was when ShadowCipher entered, exclaiming, "Oh, you're up, master! How are you feeling? Does it hurt anyway?"His sudden appearance left Gwyneth blinking. What on earth happened while she was sedated?!"I need to get some stuff. You guys talk for now," Liam said, shooting ShadowCipher a look before leaving.It was just the two of them left soon enough, and after a brief moment of silence, ShadowCipher told her everything."You told him?!" Gwyneth exclaimed, moving in agitation and scowling as she aggravated her injury."I'm sorry, master.

Gwyneth blinked at the man before her, left a little dizzy by the sudden turn of events.She then turned to look in the box—the diamond on the ring was not that large, but the craftsmanship was clear. It was clearly an exclusive design, as even the pattern of the embedded diamond had not seen the market.However, Gwyneth had seen the velvet box before. Even if she only saw what was inside now, it was obvious to anyone what it contained.And despite knowing that Liam had a ring ready, she did not expect him to have prepared it for her.In fact, Gwyneth's opinion of Liam changed considerably after they re-signed their agreement—all it took to see a person's true colors was time, and she had plenty enough to tell that he was sincere.And at that very moment, her vision became clouded with tears—anyone would crumble when offered such genuine kindness, and she was no exception.Her fingers were shaking as she reached out on instinct for that sparkling diamond ring… only for a loud cra

Seeing that Liam was frowning, Gwyneth's lips parted, but she could not say anything.It was certainly a loaded question—where else would she go after they found their lead?Still, Liam's tone made it clear he would stop her.As the stalemate lasted between them, everyone else including Wesley lowered their heads and rubbed their noses awkwardly.They certainly could not make the call and had to hope that their bosses would come to an agreement soon.Fortunately, Gwyneth's shoulders slumped in seconds as she gave in.She was not impulsive, and she knew enough to face facts despite her flaring rage.And given current circumstances, she might not make it outside the hospital alone, let alone confront whoever made an attempt on her life.Her lips twitched, but she withheld her words of frustration as Liam took her back to her ward."Keep an eye on her," he told her bodyguards before turning to leave, stopping at the door for a moment to level a look of longing at her.He knew th

Gwyneth's tone and expression made her appear as if she knew everything, and yet she remained detached like a bystander.Her eyes brightened even as she stared into Elizabeth's eyes for a while, while Elizabeth's face turned pale. All Elizabeth's smugness slowly faded, and she was suddenly afraid to look Gwyneth in the eye."What's wrong?" Gwyneth chuckled, raising a brow and feeling a flicker of catharsis. "Where did all your confidence go? Or perhaps you're doubting yourself too?"Gwyneth had certainly allowed Elizabeth to pass herself off as the one who saved Liam for too long. Now, it seemed, was time that Gwyneth rescinded that privilege."What are you talking about?!" Elizabeth snapped. However, she was feeling guilty and there was no way she could argue, not to mention that she was paranoid of Gwyneth realizing the truth. If that really happened, she would lose way more than she bargained for if she was exposed with Liam around!Still, it puzzled her that there was a rift
