The Doting Bigwig Chapter 12
Willow announced that she still had a meeting to attend. Quentin left with mixed feelings. Naturally, Sonia hurried after him.After they got into the car, Sonia leaned against Quentin's chest. "Don't you think something's up with them, Quentin?""Let's leave it for now. I'll get the answer someday." Quentin narrowed his eyes. Then, he pinned Sonia to the seat and vented his frustration on her.Sonia responded with great enthusiasm, but a trace of menace flashed in her eyes. It looked like she had to put her guard up!…As the night fell, the rest of the employees gradually left the company. Only when everyone was gone did Willow lead the people she'd contacted into the building."Ms. Jett, where do you want these hidden cameras installed?""In the office over there." Willow led them into Quentin's office and had them install the cameras in locations that weren't easily noticeable. Then, she downloaded the app on her phone and connected the cameras.When she was sure the camera

"Alright, then. One week." Theodore didn't want to push Willow any further. He gave her a pointed look before turning and leaving.Willow sighed in relief. She couldn't help muttering to herself about how domineering he was. She leaned against the wall, taking in Theodore's faint scent, which had yet to fade. For some reason, it made her heart race.At that moment, a sneaky figure was hiding around a corner of the road opposite them. They used their phone to record the interaction between Theodore and Willow.They only put their phone away in satisfaction after Theodore and Willow had left. As they looked at the photos they'd taken, they sneered.They'd finally gotten some dirt on Willow. They would make Willow suffer in the future!…When Willow returned home, the first thing she sensed was the oddly tense atmosphere in the villa. Gina and Stephanie were seated on the couch. They couldn't even be bothered to look at Willow when she walked into the living room.Willow was obviou

The main reason that Gina could make Quentin listen to her for so many years was that she knew where to draw the line. After a moment of consideration, she nodded at Wendy.As she headed downstairs, she glared daggers at Willow, hating her gorgeous face. Quentin was still a man. It was normal for him to be temporarily bewitched by a vixen.It didn't matter. She was still the matriarch of the family! Once Quentin was sick of Willow, she would have to go back to being pushed around by them every day.Willow watched Wendy put her things before walking into the room, feeling satisfied."Willow." Quentin wrapped his arms around her from behind. He pressed his lips to her neck and murmured, "You said you didn't wanna leave me, right? I promise I'll satisfy you tonight."Disgust surged in Willow. Women really needed to learn to treat themselves better. She'd worked hard to earn money for her husband, yet what did she get in return? Not his respect and most certainly not his love.All sh

"It's a woman's nature to be vain. It doesn't matter if one's capable but has a horrible taste in fashion. That wouldn't help in winning men's hearts.""Isn't that true? Didn't Mr. Strand just deliver a box of clothing for Ms. Jett this morning? Those clothes are worth hundreds of thousands."Sonia seethed when she overheard the staff's gossip in the pantry. She jumped when she heard Willow's voice from behind. Willow cooed, "Sonia, what's on your mind?"Sonia quivered sheepishly. She turned around and found Willow dressed in an even more sultry lilac dress compared to Willow's outfit from last night. The dress had tulle fabric at the back, which offered a glimpse of Willow's slender back.Despite the revealing design, the dress looked charming on Willow when paired with her elegant smile. Sonia's smile froze as she battled with envy. She recognized the dress as a new season item from a luxury haute couture brand, worth a whopping 100 thousand dollars. She wondered if Willow ha

In came Clark, a highly effective and best-performing assistant of Theodore's. Clark dragged Hailey out of Theodore's office by her arm and did not let go despite her struggle."How dare you? Do you know who I am? Let go of me!" Hearing Hailey's screams, Clark merely adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and stared flatly at her. He mused, "Ms. Godfrey, would you like us to throw you down from this floor?"They were on the 88th floor of the building. Plunging onto the streets at this height was a gruesome and unfathomable idea.Clark did not look like he was joking. Finally, Hailey swallowed hard and stomped her feet in protest before storming into the elevator.…Willow was once again brought into Theodore's office. He remained in the same position, behaving as though nothing had happened.She calmly handed him a document and explained, "Mr. Bassett, I have amended the proposal based on your suggestions from last time. Please take a look."When she approached him, she couldn't hel

Willow was alarmed when she heard the doubt and shock in Sonia's tone. Without hesitation, she hung up. The last thing she wanted was for Sonia to stir trouble with this information."Mr. Bassett, I've been nice to you. You'd better not take advantage of me.""Taking advantage of you?" he questioned with a squint and examined her. "Weren't you the one who seduced me in the first place?""What happened that night was an accident.""I don't think so.""I'm not sure if you have any preferences or kinks, but from what I saw just now, women seem to be throwing themselves at you. You can make your pick. Why would you insist on dating me?" she countered.She knew Theodore couldn't have been serious about her despite her beauty because she was married.He remarked, "I'll let you know when you are divorced."She nearly choked on anger upon hearing that. Did Theodore not listen to a word she just said?Just when Willow attempted to argue with him, she held back at the thought of the pro

"Isn't that you and Theodore Bassett in the photo?" The reporters' questions put Willow in a difficult spot.At that moment, they heard a cold voice from behind. "I am the man in the photo, alright, but who gave you the permission to make a scene at the Bassett Corp. office?"Theodore appeared, and the reporters immediately took a few steps backward. He explained, "The company's management had dinner at the bar that night. Shall I show you the list of the attendees as well?"He strode to Willow and stood a distance away, close enough to protect her yet not appear too intimate.The reporters were taken aback and silent.Finally, a bold reporter blurted out, "But why was Willow Jett present at the management dinner?"Looking indifferent, Theodore said, "Strand Real Estate has been aiming to work with our company. Ms. Jett put in a lot of effort to meet with me and my management."He cast a glance at Willow. Getting the hint, she extracted a file from her bag and explained, "It w

After hanging up, the car returned to an oppressive silence. Theodore spoke, breaking the silence. "I can help you out if you don't want to go home yet.""Are you kidding me? I'll have to go home and face the music sooner or later." However, Willow changed her tune upon seeing his expression. "I mean, I'll have to meet with Quentin to discuss the divorce somehow.""Are you able to explain to him about what happened today?""I thought you clarified it with the reporters."He furrowed his brows and said, "Do you think people would believe my words?"He claimed that Willow was at the bar to deliver a business proposal, during which they were caught hugging on camera. It certainly did not look like a coincidence.The reporters had left the building because they could not risk getting into a confrontation with Theodore. His words carried weight, and he could explain his way out of any situation. Unfortunately, Willow did not have such influence."I know," she mumbled, head hung low,

"What choice do you think I need to make?" Theodore stepped closer. His tone was filled with displeasure. "What are my choices?"Willow hesitated for a moment but maintained her composure as she voiced her concerns. "We need to face reality, Theodore. I will take Yasmine back to Portumville, and you're tied to the Bassett family. Who knows what will happen in the future?""So, you're giving me a heads-up so I can find someone else sooner?""I—""Should I be thanking you then?" Theodore's anger flared. "Willow, this is what's on your mind after everything we've been through? What do you take me for? What do you take yourself for?""I…" Willow found herself speechless."Are you doing this on purpose?""No, I'm not." Willow tried to explain herself, but for once, her words failed her.Theodore's eyes burned with frustration. Seeing her struggling to justify herself only fueled his anger more. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her close.Willow let out a startled muffle, but it was

Willow noticed something odd and asked, "When did you two get so close? Cedar, you even know what game Jessica likes?"Cedar casually replied, "She posted about it on Instagram."Willow's expression changed to one of realization. "Oh, right. I remember now."After saying that, she looked at Jessica with a raised eyebrow and proudly said, "See how thoughtful Cedar is? He remembered such details and even brought the game you wanted. I wonder which lucky girl will end up with him."Jessica forced a smile and awkwardly shoved the game console under the pillow as if it were something unpleasant to touch.Yasmine raised her head. "End up with him? What does that mean?"Willow patiently explained, "It means who will marry Uncle Cedar.""It must be Ms. Sweeney!" Yasmine pointed to the bed next to her and blurted out, "Uncle Cedar saved her. She said she'll marry him to repay the favor."Willow's face was filled with shock while Jessica quickly waved her hand. "No! I never said that. Wh

At the City Hospital, since both Willow and Jessica needed to stay in the hospital, Terence decided to use a bit of his authority to arrange for them to share a room."So what are your plans? Are you not going back to Portumville?" Jessica asked."I still have to go back. The company headquarters is there. Have you ever seen a president of a public company who never goes to the office? Joywell is still growing. I can't leave," Willow explained."So when are you planning to go back?"Willow hesitated. "I'm still thinking."Balancing a career and family was tough. One had to give way to the other."There's nothing to think about. You wouldn't want to give up Joywell's prime opportunity, and you wouldn't want to keep flying back and forth to see Yasmine. Just have Theodore go with you to Portumville then."Jessica, with her independent mindset, often focused on herself and didn't always consider the practicalities of others' situations.Just then, a knock came at the door. "Come i

As Theodore closed the door behind him, Terence turned to him with a concerned look. "Aren't you going to stay with her?""Let her be alone for a while," Theodore replied.Through the glass on the door, Theodore could see the frail figure lying on the hospital bed, and his heart ached for her."By the way, how's Jessica?"Terence responded, "She's fine. Cedar's with her. Thankfully, he noticed in time, and the sleeping pills weren't of a lethal dose."Joey had drugged Jessica with an overdose of sleeping pills. Then, she was left unconscious and tied up in a small storage room at an apartment in Marldosa Gardens.Following that, Joey hired someone from the black market to drive Jessica's car to Portumville, which caused the car's GPS to show up constantly on the highway.Terence couldn't help but ask, "Are Cedar and Jessica…""I don't know," Theodore replied flatly, "but it's not a bad thing.""Not necessarily," Terence said, crossing his arms. "It's fine for the heiress of Re

At the hospital, Willow's neck wound had been stitched up with four sutures. She had to stay in the hospital for observation.Terence was still in the operating room with Matthew. Over an hour had passed with no news. Yet, Matthew's family couldn't be reached at the moment.Theodore sat by her bedside. "Be careful.""I'm fine," Willow replied, leaning against the headboard. "How did you find out that Joey and I were at the riverbank?""Matthew called me." Theodore's voice was rough. He covered Willow with a blanket and began to explain the recent events."I had a DNA test done with Yasmine and confirmed Iris' claims. At least it proved that Joey was the one who took Yasmine back then. After that, I had Clark start investigating Joey."The first thing Clark did was track down the doctor who did the DNA test for Matthew and Yasmine, and sure enough, Joey was there meeting him."When Clark arrived, the doctor was already dead. His body was hidden in the garage at Marldosa Gardens.

Willow's words crushed Joey completely.Possessiveness? To others, her years of admiration and waiting were nothing more than laughable possessiveness."They're over there!" A voice suddenly rang out. Following that, the chaotic sound of footsteps echoed from the other side of the rocks.Willow looked up to see a tall, familiar figure rushing toward her. Without needing to guess, she knew how anxious the man must have been. Her nose tingled, and tears suddenly began to fall.As Joey glanced at the approaching police, she tightened her grip on Willow and dragged her backward. "Don't come any closer! Stay back!" she shouted.Theodore, who was more frightened than he had ever been, also roared, "Don't go any further! Let her go, Joey.""Let her go?" Joey laughed bitterly. "And let her reunite with your family? Dream on!""Joey." Willow managed to squeeze out the words through her pain. "Stop it, Joey."Even at this moment, she hoped Joey would have a change of heart and turn awa

Willow lay on the rocks as her neck bled and stained the collar of her white shirt. The scene was shocking. But compared to the pool of blood beneath Matthew, her injuries were nothing. Even though she desperately tried to escape, the distance she crawled was far from enough to save her life.Footsteps approached from behind; Joey had released Matthew and was walking toward Willow."Do you know what he just told me?" Joey's voice came from behind as Willow continued to crawl away.Joey didn't stop her, and she merely paced alongside Willow. For every step Willow took, Joey mirrored her, patiently recounting her conversation with Matthew."I asked him if he ever loved me. Do you know what he said?""He told me to let you go."In the wind of the river, Joey's laughter sounded particularly eerie. "Even at this moment, he only thinks of you. His loyalty to you is absolute, isn't it? I want to ask you a question."Suddenly, Joey squatted down and yanked Willow's hair, forcing her

"Leave right now?" Joey asked incredulously. She then burst into tears. "If only you had said this three years ago!""It's not too late now.""It is too late," Joey said as she shook her head. Willow felt herself being choked. She struggled for breath as the immense force pressed against her neck and pulled her toward the edge of the rocky outcrop with the raging river below."Joey!" Matthew staggered closer."Don't come any closer!"Willow felt a sharp pain in her neck as the knife's blade dug deeper into her flesh."Joey." She gritted her teeth against the agony and asked, "So Yasmine really was stolen by you, wasn't she?""You're still asking such questions at this point? Willow, you really are stupid.""Where's Yasmine?""Ha! What do you think?" Joey's laughter was manic.The rhetorical question sent Willow plummeting into despair as if reliving the anguish from three years ago. It felt like her heart and lungs shook violently, and every nerve of hers screamed in pain.

"We've known each other for so many years, and now, suddenly, I plan to leave Emperia. It's hard not to feel a bit reluctant," Joey said with a hint of nostalgia, her expression darkening as she turned to look at Willow.As the river breeze blew, Willow felt something unfamiliar about the woman in front of her, as if she had never known her at all."What's wrong?"Joey noticed the strange look in Willow's eyes.Willow steadied herself, hiding her immense shock and confusion behind her clenched fist, and casually asked, "When do you plan to leave? Have you decided where to go?""We're thinking of heading to Westwood first. Do you still remember we made a promise in college to go to Westwood for our graduation trip?""I remember.""But you suddenly decided to get married at that time and got busy with matters at Strand Real Estate.""Actually, you didn't have to worry about me. You could have gone without me.""Didn't you know? Matthew liked you, so when he heard you weren't goi
