Chapter 522

Gwyneth sighed inwardly. Clearly, this man intended to keep up this battle of wills with her to the very end.

"Uncle," Leonie muttered, "I know your company, and I can drive Gwyneth myself. You're the CEO-aren't you worried about what people will say if you bring her in personally?"

She grumbled under her breath, then threw in, "You've shown up at our house three times in two days. Why don't you just marry Gwyneth already? That way, you could keep her at your place and wouldn't have to worry about her slipping away."
