The Doting Bigwig Chapter 51
"Mmph—"Theodore's kiss seemed to be filled with a strong sense of masculine hormones, and it was very invasive. He did not give her any chance to react at all, and it felt like he was trampling all over her senses.Willow's brain felt like it lacked oxygen. As he penetrated deeper, her chest heaved as she tried her best to gain the basic level of oxygen that she needed to stay alive. The sound of footsteps outside dragged her thoughts back on track, and she began to struggle. However, she did not dare to make too much noise, as she was afraid that people would notice something amiss. "Let … let go of me!"She squeezed out the sentence between pants. She felt both ashamed and angry. However, there was no strength in her voice, and it sounded as if she were pleading with him instead.This time, Theodore had no intention of letting her off easily.His hand roamed all over her body, and he was rough, as if he wanted to crush her into pieces.He bit her sharply on her lips. "Ou

The next day, Willow received a call from Quentin."You haven't forgotten about the project meeting today, have you?""Haven't you already handed the project over to Sonia?"On the other end of the line, Quentin gritted his teeth as he said, "Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know? The amended project agreement from Bassett Corporation clearly states that they will only acknowledge this project if you manage it. They will not accept a change in personnel.""Oh? Then change to another project.""Is there any point in saying that now? Don't forget that you're also a shareholder of Strand Real Estate. Will ruining it do you any good?"Quentin's tone was harsh, but he could not hide the worry in his voice. Willow knew him too well. He would never have called her if he had any other choice. It must have been pressure exerted by the collaborating party. Willow said coldly, "I can attend the project meeting, but I have one condition.""Go ahead.""There has to

"It was three years ago."Willow dug her nails in harder when she heard this. "How could that be? You hadn't even graduated three years ago, and you weren't in the company!"The most important thing was that she and Quentin had been newly married three years ago. Sonia laughed triumphantly. "Is it very strange? I've never said that Quent and I met at the office. That's just what you assumed."At once, there was a ringing in Willow's ears. Images flooded her mind, and everything she had been dismissing became obvious signs. "Willow, I think we need to hire new people. You need a capable assistant to work with you.""I think we should do campus recruitment at the universities in Emperia.""We don't need to go to the best universities. We can just find a nimble, intelligent one from one of the colleges. It's a secretarial position anyway, so I'll be satisfied as long as they can take care of you well.""Honey, do you think there's anyone suitable from this batch?"Two years ago

In the office, someone had grabbed Sonia by the hair and was slapping her violently."Mom!"Willow's expression changed, and she hurriedly rushed to pull them apart. "Mom, what are you doing here?"It was Helen. "You shameless slut! My daughter trained you to be her secretary, but you climbed into my son-in-law's bed! You're just a classless lowlife!"Someone helped Sonia up. Her clothes were torn, and there were red scratches on her face. She clutched her face and stomped her foot in shame and anger."What do you mean by that? Quent and I being together isn't a one-sided thing! It was a mutual decision, and your daughter got cheated on because she's old and undesired by men!""How dare you speak such nonsense! I'll tear your face apart!""Mom." Willow grabbed her mother. "Stop it.""Don't be such a coward! She's already at your doorstep, and you're going to get divorced! You were keeping it a secret from me! Don't try to stop me!"Helen refused to listen to Willow. "What'

"Mr. Bassett, these are my personal affairs," exclaimed Quentin. "Your personal affairs have obviously affected the discussion of the new project."Theodore's statement left Quentin unable to refute him. He let go reluctantly and glared at Willow. "If Mr. Moss refuses to cooperate, then this isn't the end!""Who are you yelling at?" Helen roared, "You animal, how dare you be so arrogant after having an affair!""Mrs. Jett!" Quentin raised his voice. "If you keep making trouble here, I will get security to throw you out! I can call the police on you for violence, you know?""Call the police? I'll make the police tell you who's right!""You're completely unreasonable! You crazy woman!""Quent, don't waste time with them. I'll call the police right now." Sonia took her phone out. "Hello, police, I …"Before Sonia could finish, Willow strode up and plucked the phone out of her hand. Then, as everyone watched, she tossed it into the fish tank. "What are you doing?" Sonia scre

Willow said, "What's the use of saying that now?""Willow, do you really want to get divorced?" asked Helen. "Yep.""Why don't you reconsider? I think Quentin still has feelings for you, and no riff-raffriff raff outside can compare. Besides, if you get divorced, how are you going to live by yourself? This isn't a joke."Willow was impatient. "Mom, I can decide for myself. Please don't interfere.""Can't I just give a suggestion?""You should go home."Willow tried to hail a cab to send Helen home. It wasn't easy to get a cab here, but a black car stopped in front of them after a while, and the back seat window rolled down. Theodore's handsome face appeared in the car. "Where are you heading, Mrs. Jett? I'll give you a ride.""It's okay." Willow refused without thinking. "I'm asking Mrs. Jett." Theodore nodded at Helen. "It's pretty hot today, isn't it?"Helen was plump, and she was already sweating profusely from standing under the sun with Willow. When she heard him,

Willow returned to the hotel at noon. She had just reached her room when she received a call from Helen. "Willow, I'm home. Don't worry, Mr. Bassett sent me straight to our doorstep."Helen was acting as if nothing had happened, which angered Willow. She said sulkily, "What do I have to be worried about? You got into his car. Why didn't you ask him in for dinner?""I did, but Mr. Bassett seems busy this afternoon, so I asked him for dinner this Saturday.""What?"Willow could not believe her ears. "Mom, do you know who he is? He would never agree to come for dinner at our place.""He already did.""He agreed? That's impossible.""Why is it impossible? No matter how important someone is, they still need to eat. They can't just survive on air. Besides, didn't you tell me that Mr. Bassett sold secondhand cars?""I …" Willow was flustered. "In any case, I've already invited Theodore, so remember to come home this Saturday. Cedar is at home for the holidays, too."Willow felt

The court session was set for Friday. On the day of the court session, Matthew met Willow in advance. "If they really decide to make the driver the scapegoat, then we won't be able to threaten them with the material that we currently have. They may say that the assets of Strand Real Estate are all premarital property. The situation doesn't look good.""If that's the case, then what should we do?""If that really is the case, we can appeal to the court to investigate Quentin and even the entire Strand family. We have reason to believe that he transferred marital property. However, if we do so, this lawsuit will be dragged out for a long time.""How long?""The shortest time will be three to five months; at the longest, it will be one or two years. It's hard to say."Willow frowned, and she clenched her fist involuntarily. She had been too naïve. She had handed over all her property to Quentin for safekeeping during their marriage, and she didn't have much money in her account

"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
