Craig then finished, "Liam Luther was the real culprit who set up your accident."Gwyneth felt lucky right then, to have gone through so much that she was not surprised by Craig's outrageous lie. That said, he was truly bold to come up with something so ridiculous!Still, she played along. "Liam's trying to kill me? Oh, I couldn't have known! But why? There has to be a reason, right?"Craig was certainly beside himself with joy to hear that—the way he saw it, she had already taken his bait. It would be all's well that ends well once she was slowly lured into his trap."Of course there's a reason. He wants that project too," he said, his eyes twinkling while his voice a little shrill from the thrill. "As you know, the plot of land involved in this project was passed down by your maternal family to your grandmother, so you still hold ownership."Conflict of interest and reason to do harm, check.Gwyneth had to admit that Craig's logic was sound, and it even sounded well thought-out

Liam's reaction actually gave Gwyneth the creeps.Still, in contrast to his usual cold aloofness, the way he fawned over her was actually pleasant. "Can you forgive me, darling? Pretty please?" he pressed just then."Fine, whatever. Just stop it already," she snorted—she just meant to pull a prank and ended up getting herself uncomfortable. Seeing her expression relaxing and a lot less angry, Liam heaved a sigh of relief. Evidently, acting cute was effective on occasion, just as it felt pleasant to see her torn between amusement and frustration.Nonetheless, Gwyneth's expression turned solemn after the playful feud, and Liam knew very well that she was deep in thought. There was a brief silence until Gwyneth raised her brow and asked in curiosity, "Do you think it's likely that your grandfather was acquainted with my mother's side of the family from the start?"It sounds weird putting it that way, but there were times when instincts would prove right.As Gwyneth looked up

Gwyneth realized with a start thanks to Liam's clear explanation—Elizabeth's intentions to invest in that land lot would only end up with her losing money.Obviously, someone swindled her, and the motive was clear as well. After all, with Elizabeth being one of Glen Corporation's board members at the moment, she would inevitably drag the rest of the company down with her because of her mess.Gritting her teeth at the thought, Gwyneth picked up her phone, ready to text Wesley… only for his text to arrive just as she reached it.[Boss, word from the boys—Elizabeth Lisle had a meeting with Craig Baker.][Stay on them. Don't miss anything.]In fact, Wesley had already sent two more men to tail them and gather further information before Gwyneth gave the order.Even so, Gwyneth was sneering when she got the footage of Elizabeth and Craig—they had chosen to meet at a luxury hotel's cafe without a care in the world.Were they that overconfident about their abilities, or did they simpl

In reality, Gwyneth had a tank top underneath her loose patient gown—it had to be cropped because of her broken ribs.However, that was enough to leave Liam restless, since he never expected his wife to openly loosen her sash!He just wanted to tease her a little, only for her to turn the tables!He turned around by instinct to make sure no one was passing by before turning back to her again.It was no exaggeration that Liam would have his bodyguards arrest anyone to pass by and have them interrogated to have peace of mind."K-Keep your clothes on," he told her.Gwyneth felt a lot less annoyed to see him reacting awkwardly but kept her fingers on her clothes as she giggled, "You wanted to change my bandages, don't you? How are you going to do that if I don't get undressed?"It sounded ambiguous, but to Liam, she was really baring her skin! Even if it felt like she was wearing a sports bra, he could not stand it even if everyone else found it socially acceptable!Moreover, as he

Wesley scowled at Gwyneth's words. "Are you serious, boss? Mr. Luther told me to take good care of you, and—""Is he your boss or is it me?"Wesley sweated bullets despite knowing that Gwyneth was joking. Still, she waved him off just as he was about to argue his case. "Don't worry—I spoke to my doctor this morning. He told me I'm recovering well, so I can get discharged as things are."As Wesley helped her out of the hospital, however, he could only pray that she was really allowed to get discharged.However, they found the hospital seriously congested as they stepped outside.Gwyneth thought immediately that a patient was being rushed to the hospital and quickly cleared a path. However, a familiar voice called out just as she turned, leaving her frowning."Gwyneth!"It was Judy, leading a group of people holding cameras and microphones—all obviously journalists."Oh, I'm so happy to see you getting discharged! I've been waiting to see you. Please forgive me!"Her tone actu
