Gwynn knew just who he was talking about. It was true that she had moved on from the past. However, it was never pleasant to think about it nonetheless. With that in mind, how was she supposed to be in the mood to be making love with him now?She pushed against his chest and stopped him from doing it. Leaning on his shoulder, she spoke in a husky, delicate voice. “I guess I’ll meet her downstairs!”He caressed her waist in response. In the end, however, he let her go gently.She straightened herself up a little and headed downstairs. Gladys walked with her and encouraged her. “You don’t have to be scared at all, Ms. Gwynn! She hasn’t had any power or sway for a long time. She might’ve come here, but she poses no threat to you anymore. Mr. Noah wasn’t even interested in meeting her!”Gwynn chuckled dryly. “It’s not like she’s asking to see Noah, though.”Gladys rubbed her head and responded, “I guess you’re right!”Gianna was holding a small briefcase in the first-floor livi

Kim leaned in close and asked, “What’s the matter, Mr. Noah?”He showed her the document. “Our country’s diplomat struck a deal with Neopolis. They’re going to hold an exhibition for Van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’ in Brookesville for a week. It’s a commercial exhibition, so they’re appointing us for the security.”Then, he lowered his head and lit his cigarette.Stunned, she said, “You just said that Ms. Gwynn won’t let you smoke in the villa, Mr. Noah.”His eyes were intense when he said, “This is different!”He added, “Coming back to this, I’m certain that Archibald got us this task. He’s going to tear my company a new one if the painting goes missing or is damaged in any way. In fact, he might even set up a special investigation team and plant them in the company, the same way he did last time.”Kim felt a little nervous now. “Are you thinking about rejecting them, Mr. Noah?”Gripping the document, he said, “How am I supposed to reject it when the government signed off on it?

The fire wasn’t that bad, but something terrible happened. Van Gogh’s ‘original’ painting was blackened from the burn. What was worse, the entire painting had fallen to the floor. It was nothing but a pile of trash now. The art museum manager ran downstairs. The moment he saw the burnt-up canvas on the floor, he was shocked to the core. After a brief moment, he looked at Noah. “I can’t believe Van Gogh’s original painting was burnt to this extent. How are we going to explain ourselves? This is it. Our career is over!”Men don’t typically cry over small matters. However, the manager burst into tears and cried at the top of his lungs. This was a huge deal, after all. None of them would be able to keep it under wraps.Taking Noah’s hands, he discussed with him about their next move. He needed to know what they were going to say when the Neopolitans asked them about the painting. Noah responded swiftly, “I’ll take sole responsibility for this, Jedidiah! You don’t have to worry

Gwynn wore a blank expression. “Sure, I do. You did this for Anderson.”Archibald gave himself some time before he reacted. “Anderson’s still in prison! Are you going to tell me that he doesn’t deserve a second chance, too?”She lowered her gaze and said quietly, “You’re the one who doesn’t deserve a second chance!“You shouldn’t have messed with Noah’s brake pads.“If the kids and I were in the car that day, then I probably wouldn’t be able to stand before you now. You would’ve killed me and masked it as an accident! The same goes for Lorian and Holly!“I’m aware Anderson is all you care about.“Well, Lorian and Holly are the only people I care about! I’ll do everything to avenge them if you put them in harm’s way. I don’t care if it means doing something to you or the Templetons’ reputation. In fact, I don’t care if Anderson survives it!”…It took Gwynn everything she’s got.After all, she was saying something this heartless to her biological father. It actually pained her

Noah hung up the phone. He saw the bewildered look on Gwynn’s face and said softly, “It’s true. He’s exactly who you think he is!”This revelation shattered the way she saw the world. After a brief moment, she asked in a daze, “Why would he do this? He’s Archibald’s chief assistant. He answers to no one but him.”He leaned on the headboard and stared at her with unblinking eyes, naked lust in his eyes. She couldn’t take his gaze and lowered her head. Only then did he tear his gaze away in satisfaction. His tone was cold when he spoke. “Money can solve almost everything in the world, Gwynn. Everyone craves for it! Even you fell for me because of the amount of money I used while I was trying to win your heart… Fine. Okay. I won’t bring it up again. I swear.“With that said, I don’t think he’s just doing it for the money. There’s some other reason here, I think.”…Gwynn sat next to him and fell into a trance, listening to him. Much like the way a loyal dog would do. He loo
