The Sweetest Trophy Wife by Beanie - Season 1 Episode 48

After removing some fish bones, a sudden thought struck Gwyneth like a lightning bolt. ‘How much longer can I really stay in this house? I don’t think I should make this kind of commitment.’

Initially, Gwyneth had intended to offer Liam some advice, but as these thoughts flooded her mind, her words became lodged in her throat. A fleeting sense of detachment flickered within her, but it passed so quickly that she didn’t dwell on what that feeling was. Perhaps it was nothing more than a habitual response.

Despite the turmoil brewing within her, Gwyneth managed to maintain a composed expression, convinced that Liam wouldn’t detect any hint of her emotional state. Unbeknownst to her, however, Liam’s cutlery continued their rhythmic dance, while his gaze remained steadfastly fixed on her. Maybe it was the unmistakable display of emotions on Gwyneth’s face that momentarily unsettled Liam, leaving him unable to utter another word.

The following day, Liam insisted on driving Gwyneth to work, and she saw no reason to refuse such a small gesture. As she had previously pondered, having a free chauffeur wasn’t a bad thing at all.

Upon reaching the AMC building. Gwyneth bid farewell to Liam and stepped out of the car, making her way inside.

Lost in thought for a moment, Liam raised his head and instructed his assistant, “When we have time this afternoon, find me candidates

that can cook.”

In reality, both Liam and Gwyneth understood that hiring cooking staff was merely a pretext. There was a thin veil of pretense between them, one that neither of them intended to pierce. If they were both afraid of commitment or harboring other concerns, perhaps it was best to make a quick decision here and now.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at AMC Group, Gwyneth had just entered when Wesley walked in right behind her. Seeing the thick stack of files in his hands, Gwyneth couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

“Boss, I stayed up all night and managed to trace the flow of funds from Glen Corporation,” Wesley said, his eyes bloodshot from a sleepless night. He pulled out two documents from the pile and placed them in front of Gwyneth.

Gwyneth looked up at Wesley and said, “You know exactly what I’m looking for.” The two of them shared a knowing smile.

Wesley continued, “Boss, the funds from Glen Corporation ultimately flowed into a tourist destination called Glacier Lake.”

“What are those funds for? Investment?” Gwyneth furrowed her brows, feeling a sharp pang in her mind. She looked at Wesley for confirmation, her face expressing a hint of discomfort.

“Boss, are you okay? You don’t look well” Wesley asked.

“I’m fine. You should go back and rest. It’d be disastrous if you collapse,” Gwyneth replied.

Wesley understood Gwyneth’s temperament. When she spoke at the company, her words were always final. Considering the challenges ahead regarding Glen Corporation, he didn’t make any further excuses. “Alright, Boss. If you need anything, just give me a call.”

Gwyneth waved her hand at Wesley, then leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, deep in thought.

In fact, Gwyneth had a general idea of how to handle the issues with Glen Corporation. However, when it came to implementing her plans, she was unsure where to start. It was only when she thought about her conversation with Liam at Luther Corporation the previous day

that she slowly opened her eyes.

After concluding two meetings in the afternoon, Gwyneth drove straight back to Luther residence. Initially, she had considered calling Liam on the way, but after much hesitation, she decided against it. She thought to herself that rushing into such matters wouldn’t do any

good.

However, when Gwyneth pushed open the door and entered Luther residence, she was completely caught off guard by the sight that greeted her–Liam was already there, and standing before him in the living room was a row of women.

Gwyneth stared at them, her eyes widening in surprise. “What’s going on?”

“Mrs. Luther, these are the candidates Mr. Luther has brought in. Please assess them,” Larry chimed in with a cheerful smile, while Liam remained seated on the couch, silent but acknowledging the situation.

Upon hearing Larry address Gwyneth as Mrs. Luther, the row of candidates couldn’t help but gaze at her curiously, each wearing an intriguing expression.

As Gwyneth heard the word “assess.” her eyebrows raised ever so slightly, and a plan began to take shape in her mind. “Very well, I accept, “she declared, gesturing her chin toward Liam, as if inviting acknowledgment.

She directed Larry to distribute five hundred dollars to each candidate and said. “There’s a nearby farmers market in the neighborhood. Please use this money to purchase groceries.”

Liam sat nearby, a constant smile playing on his lips. It wasn’t intentional, but for some reason, he felt immensely pleased watching Gwyneth take charge of the household.

“Make sure you spend all the money, but keep the receipts. Edward will arrange for transportation, so you needn’t worry about the weight

of the groceries.”

Although the staff couldn’t quite grasp the lady of the house’s intentions, they followed her instructions nonetheless. An hour later, they returned with their purchases, and Gwyneth examined each one of them. After this round, half of the candidates were eliminated through

her scrutiny.

In Gwyneth’s opinion, a skilled cook should not only possess culinary expertise but also demonstrate consideration for prices when sourcing ingredients. Despite being aware of Liam’s financial abundance, she believed in upholding certain principles.

“So, Honey, are you managing the household for me?”

Liam’s unexpected remark left Gwyneth momentarily speechless, almost causing her to spew out the water she had just sipped.

‘Since when did he start having delusions?‘ she wondered to herself.
