Chapter 96 She’s Valued Now
Gwen smiled lightly. “Yes, that person is me.
“How can they talk about you like that? I’ll go down and tell them!” Gabriel, clearly the most hot–headed of the three, insisted.
“I’ll go too!”
“Me too!”
“Don’t. It’s not necessary. The truth will speak for itself.” Seeing their protective instincts, Gwen smiled even wider. “As long as those I care about don’t see me that way, that’s all that matters.”
She asked them a lot of other questions, like what they needed now that they had started school. She reassured them that she had already transferred living expenses to their accounts, so they shouldn’t hold
back.
She reminded them not to reveal her identity as Tabby and arranged for security to escort the three children out through the underground parking lot.
Just as she saw them off, Theodore called again.
Lately, he had been traveling frequently for work that Gwen had assigned him. Despite feeling guilty, he found himself enjoying it.
On the phone, he first cursed the media for their malicious fabrications, then comforted her by telling her not to take it too seriously, and finally expressed his eagerness to return home.
She couldn’t help but chuckle for a long time before clearing her throat to respond. She told him to finish his business in Marendia and then come back to Dornwick in a few days for Marlon’s birthday celebration.
Theodore ended the call in a happier note.
Just then, Henry walked in. His expression relaxed significantly when he saw Gwen smiling. “There’re some matters to attend to at the board. I had planned to stay with you for a couple of days, but now I have to leave. I’ll return with Leon, so Ryan will keep you company.”
Gwen pouted while resting her chin on the CEO’s desk. Ryan can be a bit too rowdy.”
“With him around, you won’t be bored.”
“Fine then. Good luck to you and Leon.”
It seemed like Henry had to return because of a drop in stock prices, so Gwen didn’t insist on keeping him longer.
Worried that Gwen might not want to go out for food at lunchtime and might feel down, Alfie specially invited a Bichelin chef to come and cook at Savant Group with fresh ingredients.
Seeing that she had a good appetite, he was relieved.
Alfie had remembered Henry’s instructions to keep a close eye on her mood and ensure she was happy. In the afternoon, Gwen participated in a video conference with Ashton from Quantum Corporation, confirming that the joint venture project had not been significantly affected.
After discussing the upcoming arrangements, she finished work for the day.
Security was already on high alert, forming a human barrier to block the reporters, and personnel were stationed around the building to prevent any recurrence of the morning’s events.

Alfie drove a red Porsche, flanked by four security vehicles for protection.
Gwen got into the car elegantly and left the building with a confident air.
Behind her, the reporters were bewildered. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“What’s going on? We thought the plan was for Mr. Lawson to despise her and chase her out of Savant Group so we could capture some pathetic shots of her
“Why does it feel like she’s more valued now?”
“Clearly, there’s some strategy at play!”
“Are we still leaving?”
“Tabby hasn’t been photographed yet!*
“Let’s wait for those three kids to come out.”
The area around the Lawson residence was nestled in the mountains and had excellent privacy. Now, it was filled with security personnel, and no one could get through.
As soon as Gwen entered the house, Ryan eagerly handed her a pair of slippers.
It was hard to imagine that a superstar revered by fans would bend down to change his sister’s slippers.
She noticed his expression. It was clear he had been warned by Henry over the phone. “Ryan, your enthusiasm is a bit overwhelming today.”
“It’s not my fault! Henry reminded me several times over the phone. I wouldn’t dare ignore him!” After they had dinner, Gwen lay back on the couch while lost in thought.
“Ryan, I’m so bored!”
“Ryan.
“Since we can’t go out, let’s do something else.”
Gwen sat up with a sparkle in her eyes. “Let’s play some games!”
“Good idea!”
The two made their way to the gaming room in the house.
Inside was a top–notch gaming setup, and they entered a tower defence game called “League of Victors,” which boasted early 800 million registered users worldwide.
They played a couple of rounds and were quickly overwhelmed by their opponents.
Gwen slumped in her gaming chair. “Ryan, we’re terrible. We need some backup!” “Hang on. I’ll arrange something right away.”
