"You!" Willow was at a loss for words.

Erica promised that if Willow was uncomfortable with Theodore, she could stop seeing him. However, Willow knew that Erica was just trying to appease her. She would not believe it. How could Erica do that? Theodore was her flesh and blood.

"Who knows what'll happen in the future? That's a topic for another day." Willow said somberly, "I want to get out. Let me go."

When she saw that Theodore wasn't doing anything, she pulled at the door again. Of course, it was locked and would not open. In a fit of anger, she pressed the car window switch.

Howling cold wind rushed into the car. Before she could get her head outside, Theodore yanked her back with brute force.

"Do you want to die?" he yelled. His voice sounded colder than the wind.

Willow struggled hard, but he pinned her down. His tense thighs pressed against her calves, locking her into position.

"Let go of me, you jerk! You bastard!"

Theodore was getting riled up looking at Willow strugg

    "How in the hell can you move on from our first child so easily?" Willow screeched.She continued, "Do you freaking know how we lost our first? Hailey Godfrey! Hailey Godfrey pushed me down the stairs that day!"Theodore was stunned. There was no trace of anger left within him, only panic and confusion.Willow stared at him in disbelief as many emotions roiled within her. "You were in and out with a woman who killed my baby. Do you expect me to give birth to a baby with you again?"Theodore's head throbbed. He was completely sober now. He sat under the dim lights as the cold wind blew on his face. He was beyond conscious."You never told me.""So what if I told you? Would you put that murderer in jail for our dead child?"Theodore looked at her, his gaze unmoving. He said sternly, "I'm sorry.""Ha!" Willow scoffed coldly. "I want to get out!""I'll take you home.""Don't. I don't want to stay around you any longer. You disgust me."Theodore's eyes narrowed as he stared at Wi

    Did Theodore have blood clots in his brain?Willow connected the dots immediately. "Was it because of that time when Cedar…"She saw Clark do nothing but sigh, and she knew she guessed correctly. Theodore hadn't injured his head in any other situation recently."Ms. Jett, Mr. Bassett really isn't as cruel as you make him out to be."Clark said something more, but Willow registered none of it. She stared blankly outside the car as her mind reeled in a state of chaos.…Clark drove back to pick Theodore up after he sent Willow home. It was almost minus four degrees Fahrenheit on a January night in Emperia. Theodore was only dressed in a thin suit when he stood outside for half an hour."Mr. Bassett, are you okay?"Theodore glanced at Clark and asked, "Should I not be okay?"Clark shrugged and shut up.Theodore regained his composure and got back to business. He asked, "Are there any updates about what I asked you to look into last time?"Clark immediately responded, "I think I

    "I've only asked you for one thing, haven't I?" Hailey asked. She had told Joey to keep an eye on Willow and to report everything Willow had done.Joey tightened her grip on the phone. "I can swear that she has had no contact with Theodore these days. I would've told you if they met.""Yeah, she didn't meet Theodore, but she got in touch with Theodore's mom. Why didn't you tell me?""What did you say?" Joey was truly dumbstruck. She had no idea.Hailey told her what happened at Erica's party. Joey replied, "Her godmother? I know that her godmother's Ms. Whalley. I've even seen Ms. Whalley at her home. How could she be Theodore's mother?""She's returned to the country for quite some time. She's the rumored wealthy heiress from abroad in the news. Now, I finally know that it was all part of her cover," Hailey explained bitterly.Joey gradually furrowed her brows when she heard Hailey. She said while deep in thought, "Quentin and Willow have been in frequent contact recently. I thi

    "You don't have to do this. Just focus on your own job," Theodore said dismissively. "Get out."Hailey replied awkwardly, "Oh… okay then, Theodore. Remember to have breakfast."She barely reached the door when she heard a sound from behind. She turned around to see that Theodore had dumped her breakfast sandwich in the trash.Riled up in humiliation, Hailey could only leave despite feeling bitter. She hurried out of the room, almost bumping into the person outside the door. "Hey, watch where you're going!" she shouted. Hailey assumed that she bumped into one of Theodore's assistants. They never let her work in peace.A woman replied, "I'm getting old. You're right that my eyesight isn't so good anymore."Hailey paled instantly. "Ms. Whalley, what brings you here?"Erica hummed and glanced at her coldly. "My son owns this place. I can come whenever I want. Why? Do I need your approval in advance to come here?""That's not what I meant.""I could care less about what you meant.

    The man was just past his 30s and had a decent appearance. However, he looked rather shrewd."Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Dariel Perez, a local in Emperia. I was utterly fascinated by you at last night's party. I wanted to exchange contacts with you, but you left too soon.""Hold on." Willow was dumbfounded. "How did you know I'm here?""Didn't Ms. Whalley tell you? She arranged for us to meet and get to know each other.""Excuse me, please give me a minute."Willow called Erica immediately."Sorry, the number you've dialed is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later."Great. Erica wasn't picking up. Willow looked at Dariel awkwardly."Uh, I was absolutely unaware of this meeting. I can't reach Ms. Whalley on her phone either. All of this is just too sudden."Dariel replied, "No, no, this isn't sudden at all. If anything, I have surprised you by being too eager."Willow coughed in embarrassment. "Well, shall we order some drinks then?""Alright." Dariel

    Dariel was too stunned to speak. "Wait, what? You two…"Theodore grabbed Willow's bag and dragged her away."I won't become your wife! Let go of me!" Willow struggled all the way out of the restaurant. Theodore stuffed her into the car using brute force."Ah!" With a cry, Willow fell painfully onto the car seat.She struggled to get up as Theodore placed one hand on the roof of the car and the other on the door. Anger burnt in his eyes as he spat out, "Why did you go on the blind date?"Willow rebutted, "You'll have to go home and ask your mom about that!""So, you went just because she told you to?" Theodore was enraged and shoved her back into her seat. "Who was that guy? Do you know him? You don't know him, yet you're dining with him?"Willow was also riled up. "Well, I'll know him once we have a meal together, no? I didn't know you from the beginning either!""What did you say?"Theodore's gaze turned gloomy and he frowned hard. His eyes could freeze over a layer of ice. H

    "Erica," Willow called out as she quickly grabbed Erica's arm. "There are people around."The bustling entrance of the mall in the city center was teeming with cars and pedestrians. Even the slightest commotion would draw a crowd of onlookers. Theodore was a public figure, so if someone recognized him, it would be all over the internet in no time.Erica shot a glare at Theodore and said, "I'm letting this slide only because of Willow. If this happens again, just wait and see."She patted Willow's hand as she said, "Let's not bother with him. Let's go eat. Dariel Perez is still waiting for us.""What?" Willow's expression changed in shock. She quickly declined, "Erica, I just remembered something urgent at work. I have to head back to the office.""It won't take much time, will it?""It's really urgent.""Willow, is it that you don't like Dariel? It's fine. I can introduce you to someone else. There are plenty of eligible young men out there. We're bound to find one you like, rig

    Before Theodore could say anything, Willow strode away decisively.Last night, he tricked her while drunk, and now he wanted to try a new tactic. She wasn't that naive.Theodore wanted to get out of the car to chase after her, but the sound of honking from behind caught his attention. He had been idling at the intersection for a while now and had caused a long line of cars to pile up behind him.As he merged back into traffic, his gaze swept past the Sears Tower's entrance, where he spotted a familiar figure. It was Quentin.Theodore's expression immediately turned serious.Meanwhile, Willow was rushing into the building."Willow!""Quentin?" Willow looked up. She was surprised to see him standing at the entrance. She asked, "What are you doing here?""Uncle Ian asked me to bring you something. I already left it in your office, I was just about to leave when I saw you."As Quentin glanced behind Willow, he noticed Theodore's car. He asked, "Did you just get back?""Yeah, I ha

    "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
