SWNOVELS Chapter 59
Chapter 59 Relieved of the Burden
After that, Elizabeth could not hear the argument clearly. Her mind at that moment was only on Gwyneth’s injury on her waist. The anesthesia was starting to take effect, and she could only feel her mind becoming loggy.
Her thoughts drifted to the fire from many years ago. She knew about the fire and even saw it with her own eyes. However, the person who saved Liam was not her.
She shut her eyes tightly with her brows furrowed. She wanted to remember the face of the girl back then. Besides the mangled injury on her waist, her features and eyes slowly became more apparent.
Elizabeth felt she could not breathe, as if she had finally been made aware of something. ‘I didn’t… I didn’t expect that the girl back then would be Gwyneth…”
‘No, I mustn’t let Liam know of this truth. Never,‘ Elizabeth thought.
The effect of the anesthesia gradually made her thoughts frozen at that moment. She slowly closed her eyes, but all that was left in her mind was Gwyneth’s look of victory.
At the same time, Gwyneth walked out from the AMC CEO’s office. Wesley followed from behind with a gloomy look, “Boss, do you really not plan to care for me anymore? Are you really passing all these matters to me?”
As he watched Gwyneth nod her head with a smile, Wesley almost sat on the floor, “Then, then, how long do you plan to be a hands–off
boss?”
“That would depend on how long I will be the CEO’s puppet at Glen Corporation,” Gwyneth said.
After Gwyneth finished speaking, she turned around. Her smile gradually faded and became serious, “If there is any issue with the matters here, you can contact me anytime. You don’t need to worry about me on that side.”
Seeing Gwyneth explain solemnly, Wesley sighed, “Boss, I’m fine. But is Glen Corporation really okay?”
Wesley pinched the documents about the AMC executives and could not help but worry. “There is no one you can trust at the Glen Corporation’s side. Besides, some can’t wait to make you pay…”
Seeing that Wesley was so worried about her, Gwyneth felt moved deep down. However…
Gwyneth patted Wesley’s shoulder. Her eyebrows slightly raised, followed by a smile. Though the smile seemed more sly and cunning. “If they don’t want me to have it easy, I won’t let them have it easy too.”
After saying this, she turned around and left before Wesley could voice his opinion. She left the AMC Group building and drove directly to Glen Corporation. The words she had spoken to Wesley were not false; al least, on the surface, they did not seem to be.
Gaspard allied with the corporation’s board of directors to set a trap for her since much of their cash had been lost. From what they said, is she not merely the CEO’s puppet? However, she was pleased with having this position.
Compared to the daily bustling at the AMC Group, she was so idle now that she was holding the CEO position of the Glen Corporation. She would watch some short videos or catch up on soap operas. She would live her life leisurely every day.
Before she could have more of this quiet life, the door to her office was knocked loudly. Supposedly, no one was directly working under her in this company. Employees would look for the executives of each department regardless of any matter, big or small. Or they would directly speak with the directors. No one would come to knock at her door directly. Besides, the only one with even the slightest
relationship with her was…
The door to the office was pushed open. Gwyneth saw the person coming in and laughed. She had been right.
*Big sis. Long time no see,” Judy said.
Seeing Judy dressed in professional attire, acting like she was someone else, made Gwyneth unable to suppress her smile.
“Yes, but it’s not long time no see. If you didn’t come to see me, the period would’ve been much longer. Wouldn’t that be better?”
Superficially and subtly, she was obviously trying to embarrass Judy. It spoke of her disdain for Judy’s uninvited arrival. Yet, Judy did not give any reaction. It was unknown whether she genuinely did not understand or acted like she did not understand what she heard.
“Gwyneth, this office belongs to the both of us. We shouldn’t beat around the bush.” Judy said.
“Why? Tired from calling me big sis for once?” Gwyneth spoke as she stood up and went around the office desk. Her body was leaning on top of the office desk.
She had been watching soap operas for quite a long time and needed to move her body and work her brain a little.
“I’m fine with you not calling me big sis since I don’t want to hear it anyways. However, you should address me another way at this place,” Gwyneth remarked.
When she heard Gwyneth’s words, Judy could not react momentarily. Her mouth moved, but it still stayed silent.
“Why? Not used to calling me Ms. Glen, the CEO? Never mind, I think you will get used to it sooner or later,” Gwyneth sneered.
Gwyneth had spoken those words casually, yet the word CEO felt like it stabbed Judy right in her eye. They immediately turned red. She gritted her teeth and looked like she could not wait to pounce and take two bites from Gwyneth.
“Gwyneth, you’ve truly used your thick skin to the fullest! You actually have the conscience to steal a company directly!” Judy screamed.
“No, no, no, you’re mistaken,” Gwyneth rebuked.
Regarding Judy’s furious expression, Gwyneth acted like she did not see it. She hugged her arms and surveyed the office, speaking gradually, “I didn’t steal it; I merely took it back.”
