Chapter 56

Gwyneth appeared deeply moved by the shareholders‘ ‘generosity“. Her acting skill was so convincing that she almost believed it herself. After she personally saw them off from the office, her smiling face vanished instantly.

Gwyneth stood by the floor–to–ceiling window in her office, watching them leaving. She picked up the phone and dialed Wesley’s number.” Send someone to track those old shareholders. Not a single one should escape.”

Wesley always complied with Gwyneth’s instructions without question. He never asked why.

The next day, Gwyneth received the message from Wesley’s team. The message was sent to her email, and upon opening it, she discovered an audio file. It was evident that the file had been processed by the technical staff as the dialogue within was exceptionally clear, devoid of any background noise.

One person said, “Mr. Glen, your daughter is quite capable.”

“No doubt about it. She managed to investigate all your dealings so quickly,” another person remarked.

Then came Gaspard’s voice, “Hmph, even if she has some ability, she’s still my daughter! But now, we need to figure out a solution.”

“Now that the Glacier Lake project is about to launch, your funds are already there. We can just get her involved,” someone suggested.

“Good idea!”

As Gwyneth listened to the voices on the recording, her face grew colder by the moment. She could discern every word spoken, especially Gaspard’s voice. “Plotting with outsiders against your own family? That’s really something you’re truly capable of…”

Gwyneth gripped the pen in her hand tightly, veins of frustration appearing on her forehead. She knew that this wasn’t the first time Gaspard had done something like this. Furthermore, these shareholders had once again shattered Gwyneth’s expectations.

Initially, Gwyneth thought they would put on a pretense for a few days, considering that she held the real power within Glen Corporation. However, she hadn’t anticipated that these individuals would join forces with Gaspard on the very same day, aiming to trick her. It was evident that they wanted her to invest all the company assets into Glacier Lake, only for Gaspard to seize control in the end, leaving her with nothing.

A flicker of determination crossed Gwyneth’s eyes. Without hesitation, she sent a text to Wesley: [Continue tracking without pause and provide ongoing updates.]

Because of this, Gwyneth had a complete understanding of all the schemes orchestrated by the board members and Gaspard. However, whenever the directors came to the company. Gwyneth still greeted them with a smiling face, as if nothing had happened. A convincing performance had to be played out in its entirety; otherwise, it would be impossible to eradicate them completely in the end.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth, who was currently at Luther Corporation, had been restless lately.

She couldn’t help but feel uneasy about Liam’s recent change in attitude toward her, as well as his increased concern for the scar on her arm. Walking out of her own office toward Liam’s, she happened to run into Larry. “Mr. Ley, where is Liam?”

“Ms. Lisle, Mr. Luther is in a meeting in the conference room. Is there something you need?” Larry respectfully replied. Although the two held similar positions in the company, privately, Larry knew better than to offend Elizabeth.

Elizabeth nodded but didn’t say anything.

Observing her reaction, Larry naturally didn’t linger and quickly made his way to the conference room with a stack of documents. Once he entered the elevator, Elizabeth’s mind sparked an idea, and she swiftly pushed open the door to the CEO’s office. At Luther Corporation.

there were only a handful of individuals with such privileges, and she was one of them.

Since no one else could enter his office, Liam hadn’t lock his computer with a password. This, however, presented Elizabeth with a

convenience.

Elizabeth was extremely anxious at this moment, but considering Liam’s attitude toward her, she had to take a risk. She walked directly to the desk, looking at the neatly organized files on top. Naturally, she didn’t have the courage to go through them. After hesitating for a while, she shifted her focus to the computer.

Elizabeth opened the browser, accessed Liam’s email and looked through the received files. She didn’t pay much attention to the project files with obvious labels. What caught her eye was a blank email. Anxiously glancing toward the direction of the door, she cautiously clicked on the email. As soon as she saw the contents, her heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the mouse to the ground.

“Indeed, Liam is investigating the incident of the fire from that year. But why? Where did things go wrong…” Elizabeth muttered to herself. her brows furrowing deeply.

Just as she was about to continue scrolling through the previous email exchanges, she heard footsteps outside the door. Without a moment’s thought, Elizabeth made a quick decision and immediately pressed the power button to shut down the computer. Just as the screen went black, Liam walked in.

Liam raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Elizabeth in his office chair. “What are you doing?”

Elizabeth replied, “Oh, nothing. I just came in to get some files. Since you weren’t here, I thought I’d help tidy up a bit.”
