Willow had suffered in silence in a family like this for years, and all for the sake of a scumbag.Her heart sank. She shut her eyes and dried her tears. When she opened them again, a trace of determination flashed in them."Willow? Willow, why have you locked the door?"Quentin had followed her upstairs. He'd already been worried about losing control and having car sex with Sonia after she'd seduced him. The fact that Willow had stayed out all night only worried him more.Had she really noticed something?"Willow, open the—"The door was unlocked. Quentin was taken aback for a second before he pushed the door open. "Willow, are you okay? What are you—"Willow stood before him, looking like a completely different person. She had a full face of makeup on, and she looked gorgeous. Her black-framed glasses were nowhere to be seen, and her hair cascaded over her shoulders in gentle waves.She wore a sexy red dress. That, coupled with her beautiful face, made her seem unbelievably a
"What's wrong?" Willow held a folder as she stood there in her red dress and heels. The lights accentuated her features and made her look more breathtaking than ever."It … It's nothing." Sonia's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and stepped forward to link arms with Willow. "I'm just not used to your sudden change.""Get used to it, then." Willow shook her off, looking distant. She moved to sit behind her desk.Sonia acted like she usually would and sat down opposite Willow without waiting for an invitation. She said coquettishly, "I still think your old look suits you best. You looked like such an intelligent woman!"Willow's head was bowed as she focused on a contract. She didn't even look up as she smiled mockingly. "You can go for that look, then."Sonia's face clouded over."Oh, right. I wanted to tell you about a change in your job." Willow pushed a document over to her.Sonia's expression shifted. A change in her job? Was Willow transfer
In the past, Quentin hadn't been interested in Willow at all. After all, it was hard for an old, boring woman to arouse anyone.But today, she'd surprised him in many ways. And it was because of those surprises that he realized she was a diamond in the rough.He reached out, unable to control himself. But in the next second, Willow avoided him. It only strengthened his desire to dominate her."Willow, you can drop the act now." Quentin loosened his tie. "You've always wanted me, haven't you? The employees are getting off work now. No one will disturb us."Willow imagined him and Sonia fucking in his office. A wave of disgust washed over her.She was about to push Quentin away when someone knocked on her door. "Ms. Jett, Mr. Bassett of Bassett Corporation is here."Theodore? Why had he dropped by so suddenly?Willow sounded a little flustered as she said, "Tell him that I've already gotten off work. I'll see him some other—""Why aren't you meeting with him?" Quentin's gaze was
Willow protested, "No, you can't!""Willow!"Before Willow could push Theodore away, Sonia burst into the room. Quentin was still waiting outside. Through the open door, he saw how close Theodore stood to Willow."Mr. Bassett?" Quentin felt like he'd been cuckolded. He strode into the room, looking frosty."You guys have got the wrong idea." Willow gave Sonia a pointed look. She tried to stay calm as she took a few steps back, putting some distance between herself and Theodore.She'd yet to get evidence of Quentin and Sonia's betrayal. There was no way she could let them bite her in the ass first."The wrong idea?" Sonia greedily took in Theodore's handsome face for a while more. She tried to suppress her jealousy.Then, she turned to smile at Quentin. "Maybe Willow really has something important to tell Mr. Bassett. It's just weird, seeing as they were alone in here …"Willow's expression turned frosty. Sonia's words were putting her in a tough spot. A man and a woman were alo
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
