Gwendolyn fell silent for a moment before continuing her instructions. “Keep an eye on hum. Also.
Quinton, stay behind and guard the villa. Make sure he doesn’t leave the house for the next few days.
He needs to clean up the house and does his share of the chores”
Understood.” Quinton replied
novelbinHe opened the car door and got out of the car, watching as the two vehicles drove off in the direction of
Teryton’s villa.
The next morning. Treyton saw Gwendolyn sitting in the restaurant, enjoying the breakfast that Flora
had prepared. Only then did he realize she had returned to the villa.
He intended to walk over and tease her a bit, but he suddenly noticed something strange. She was
using her left hand to hold the spoon to eat.
Her right hand hung naturally at her side, not on the dining table.
Treyton circled her and sat down next to her at the dining table. Just then, he noticed her right hand
was wrapped in a bandage.
“Kiddo, what happened to your hand?” he asked.
Gwendolyn nonchalantly continued eating her oatmeal. “It’s nothing. I just got bitten by a dog.”
Hearing that, Treyton felt his heart ache. “What kind of dumb dog dares to bite my precious little sister?
I’ll take care of it for you!”
“It’s just a useless big wolfhound. I can handle it,” she replied.Treyton wanted to ask more, but Gwendolyn had already put down her spoon and finished her
breakfast. “Treyton. I’m heading to Wright Construction Group now, and then I have to go to Angle
Corporation in the afternoon. I won’t disturb your meal further.”
“All right, be safe,” Treyton replied.
After Gwendolyn left, Treyton called Elven in.
He sat on the dining chair, his face cold and stern as he glared at Elven. “What exactly happened to
Gwendolyn’s hand?”
Elven lowered his head, trembling as he spoke. “It’s just like Ms. Shalders said. She was bitten… by a
dog.
“Elven, you know the consequences of lying to me. She’s living well in Bay Villa, so where did the dog
come from? It must be Maverick, that dog, right?”
“You’ve already figured it out, so why do you ask me?” Elven felt wronged getting scolded by Treyton.
It was initially just speculation, but it had been confirmed. Treyton was furious. “That d’mn guy! It was a
mistake to let Asher spare his life last time. How dare he hurt my sister? I’ll make him pay with his life!”
Pulling out his phone, he was about to make a call, but Elven quickly intervened.
“Mr. Harris, please calm down. Ms. Shalders is ʼn datormined.

Narrowing his eyes, Treyton pondered for a moment. “Kiddo can slowly torture him to death, but if he
harms Kiddo, he must suffer greatly!”He called Elven to come closer and whispered a few instructions to him. “Do you understand?” he
added.
“Yes, Mr. Harris!” Elven replied.
For the past two days, Gwendolyn had been constantly running back and forth between Angle
Corporation and Wright Construction Group.
With Thanksgiving approaching, the talent show had stopped recording for a day, giving the girls a day
off.
Gwendolyn was planning to head back to Treyton’s villa early to have a nice dinner with her brother. As
she was tidying up her desk, her assistant, Joanne, burst into the room in a panic.
“Ms. Shalders, we have a problem! The person in charge of the talent show base said Jennifer has
gone missing again!”
Gwendolyn’s expression turned very serious. Who could it be this time? Samantha?
She immediately drove to the base with Joanne and checked all the surveillance footage.
This time, the situation was quite different from the last. Jennifer hadn’t even left the base. Hence, she
should still be there somewhere rather than being kidnapped.
The staff at the base searched almost every corner of the place. Yet, they couldn’t find her. It was as if
she had vanished into thin air.
At that instance, the remaining staff and contestants were all on edge.
Nevertheless, Gwendolyn never believed in ghosts or supernatural things.
Unless, someone is trying to deceive us!She called all the contestants who hadn’t gone home for Thanksgiving into her office and questioned
the one by one.
“I don’t know anything. I’m not in the same dorm as her, and I’ve never seen her.”
“She doesn’t usually talk to us. She seems to get along better with the other girls in her dorm. Maybe
you should ask them. I don’t know anything.”
After questioning everyone, it seemed like no one was telling the truth. Gwendolyn did not find out
anything.
As such, she had no choice but to seek help from Charmaine, who had just been eliminated in the
previous episode.
Charmaine said, “I didn’t get enough votes, so I’ve already been eliminated. How would I know what
happened? But I can tell you that Samantha never came to me. This doesn’t seem like something she
would do. However, I do know that Sylvia Lindsay used to bully her when the cameras weren’t rolling.
They have a bad relationship. Maybe you could start there.”
Sylvia?

Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes and responded, “All right”
She immediately asked the person in charge to investigate Sylvia’s departure record and found out that
she had just left this morning. Half an hour after she left, they received news of Jennifer’s
disappearance.Could this be a bullying incident?
Without delay, Gwendolyn found a reason to summon Sylvia back to the base.
Upon arrival, Sylvia was forcefully taken to the conference room.
Gwendolyn sat in the main seat of the conference room, her cold gaze staring at Sylvia, startling the
latter.
“Who are you? Who gives you the right to restrict my personal freedom and bring me here?” Sylvia
asked.
Gwendolyn flashed a charming smile and responded, “I am the talent director of Angle Corporation and
the planner of this show.”
After hearing Gwendolyn’s statement, Sylvia sneered, “Do you know who I am? I’m under the
protection. of Yvette Faraday, the rich heiress of this base! How dare you treat me like this? One call
from me, and you’ll get fired from Angle Corporation right away!”
“Want to give it a try? You can’t get me fired from Angle Corporation with one phone call, but I can get.
you disqualified from the competition with just one call.”
Upon hearing that, Sylvia fell silent.
She had struggled through the first phase to reach this point. With her current ranking, she had a
chance to debut. Thus, she couldn’t afford to be eliminated at this critical moment.
Fearful of losing everything, she didn’t dare to gamble with Gwendolyn.
Seeing her wavering, Gwendolyn began to question, “Where is Jennifer?” “I… I locked her in that small,
secluded restroom on the east side.”The moment they found Jennifer, she was soaking wet, curled up on the ground, and shivering. Her
voic had become hoarse from screaming for help for too long.
Gwendolyn was beyond infuriated. First, she had the staff take Jennifer to the base’s medical room for
treatment. Then, she made Sylvia apologize to Jennifer.
As Jennifer slowly woke up, she saw Sylvia gnashing her teeth and kneeling by her bedside.
“I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have bullied you!”
Hearing Sylvia’s agitated tone, Jennifer turned her face away, ignoring the former entirely.
Gwendolyn glanced at Sylvia on the ground and said with a sarcastic smirk, “It seems your apology
isn’t sincere enough. She doesn’t forgive you.”
Sylvia panicked, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears. “I’m sorry, Jennifer. I really know I was
wrong now. I just wanted to tease you, and I didn’t mean to hurt you. Please forgive me. I’ve made it
through the preliminary rounds to get here. I don’t want to be disqualified!”
After Jennifer heard Sylvia’s last sentence, her eyes darkened slightly as she let out a sigh. “Forget it. I

forgive you. Just get lost.”
Sylvia was overjoyed as she glanced at the cold and confident Gwendolyn next to her.
“You heard her. She said she won’t hold it against me anymore!”
426114Gwendolyn hummed in agreement. Still, she turned to instruct the person in charge to arrange for
Sylvia’s disqualification.
The latter was dumbfounded. “Why? You promised that as long as I apologized to her, you would let
me go!”
“She forgave you, but you caused her to lose her voice. We don’t know if it will affect her performance
during next week’s competition, so I definitely won’t forgive you!”
“Why?” Sylvia protested.
“Not all apologies are worth forgiving! And I am the one who calls the shots here!”
