Chapter 101

The bow around Willow's collar loosened during the struggle, revealing her smooth, flawless skin.As the temperature in the room seemed to rise, Theodore's gaze grew heated. He tightened his grip on her wrist, their faces drawing closer.In a panic, Willow turned away to avoid his face and shut her eyes.The kiss landed on her earlobe, and the cool sensation jolted Theodore back to his senses. Seeing her tense, anxious expression, he furrowed his brows. After letting her go, he sat up.With the pressure suddenly off of her body, Willow quickly moved aside.The atmosphere seemed to freeze, and the awkwardness became so palpable that it could've made one wish to disappear.Theodore bent over to pour a cup of tea, saying calmly, "If you're not up for it, I can wait. But don't take too long."Willow was stunned.The cup was then pushed in front of her. The tea inside was clear and fragrant, the aroma strong yet not overpowering. Theodore's hand that touched the cup looked flawles

"I was just fooling around with her. She's nothing compared to you," Quentin explained."But we're already divorced.""We can get remarried anytime you want, really."Worried that Willow would have reservations, Quentin added, "I know that my mother and sister had wronged you when you were still living with them, so once we remarry, we'll move out together. What do you say?"As he spoke, he took Willow's hand with an affectionate look, the same expression he had when he proposed three years ago."Willow, I really love you."Willow allowed him to hold her hand as she listened to his pretentious declaration of love. She scrutinized the man in front of her up and down.At that moment, she couldn't recall what she ever saw in him for her to be with such a spineless man in the nearly bankrupt Strand family for so many years."Quentin, do you know that hearing you say such things makes me want to vomit?"Quentin was stunned.Willow pulled her hand away abruptly, and her tone was ic

"What secret?" Quentin asked.Willow smirked. "Before we got divorced, I already cheated on you."Quentin was extremely shocked. "What did you say?""Didn't you say that kind of thing happens a lot in this industry? Why are you so surprised when it happens to you?""Say that again." Quentin grabbed Willow's hand in anger. "When did it happen?"Willow didn't expect him to get physical with her. "Let go of me!""You want me to let go? You bitch!" The furious Quentin turned red with rage. He shoved Willow against the wall and began choking her. "You still had the gall to take half of my assets after you cheated on me?"Gasping for air, Willow struggled and slapped him across the face, but she was no match for his strength.Just as she thought she was about to pass out, the elevator door suddenly opened. Someone rushed out and, upon seeing what was happening, immediately punched Quentin hard in the face, followed by a fierce kick.Clutching her neck, Willow coughed incessantly aft

Theodore had abrasions all over his knuckles and was bleeding. He was clearly injured from his fight with Quentin.Willow hastily said, "I think I have some medicine at home." With that, she hurried off to the bedroom to get the first aid kit.Theodore wanted to tell her not to bother, but after seeing her so flustered, he inexplicably decided not to say anything."Clark and Linda brought over this first aid kit when they were here previously. They said it had some basic supplies, so there should be some iodine and gauze in here," Willow muttered as she opened the kit. Once she found what she needed, she took his hand without hesitation."Since your skin is broken, this might sting a bit."With her head lowered, Willow carefully disinfected his wounds with an iodine-soaked cotton swab, unaware that Theodore was watching her intently, his cold gaze softening.Just then, there was a knock at the door.Willow raised her head. "That must be Mr. Arden. I'll go check. Don't move."

The police officer asked, "What exactly happened?"Willow and the other three sat in front of the police.Aside from Clark, the other three were people with somewhat special identities, especially Theodore. That was why it was best to minimize and resolve the issue quietly.Willow piped up, "This is just a misunderstanding.""A misunderstanding?" The police officer pointed at Quentin, who was bruised and swollen. "You call this a misunderstanding?""Why don't you explain what happened then, Mr. Strand?" Willow didn't try to explain herself but instead gave Quentin a long look.Quentin, who was covering an eye, was startled. Although he was indignant, he could only say, "It really is a misunderstanding. We were just joking around."Since the person who was assaulted didn't want to press charges, the police didn't ask further questions."This counts as disturbing the peace. You'll be getting a verbal warning this time. Sign the forms, and it's over. If this happens again, you won

A ding sounded as the elevator arrived at Willow's floor.Theodore's cold voice echoed beside her in the elevator. "We're here. Go ahead and head in.""Wait a moment."Willow stopped him before rushing into her apartment. She then came back with a box of band-aids. "Give me your hand."Theodore hesitated slightly.Seeing him still standing there, Willow took his hand and clumsily applied several band-aids to it. The result was a mess, making his hand look even worse."Well… It might look ugly, but it's better than leaving your wounds exposed.""It looks fine."Willow blushed after hearing his cold tone and looking into his eyes. She shifted her gaze away, saying, "Thank you for today.""Is that all the thanks I get?" Theodore took a step toward her.The flustered Willow took a few steps back, pressing her back against the cold wall.Theodore was a businessman through and through. He had once said that no matter what he did, he expected not just gratitude but equal or even gr

The next day, Willow was woken up by a phone call. "Hello?" she answered groggily."Were you still sleeping?" Joey's voice was on the other end."Joey? Are you back from your business trip?""I just got back and saw the news. You're famous now.""What news?""I'll send it to you. Read it yourself."Willow, not understanding the situation, looked at the news article Joey had sent. She became fully awake almost immediately.Earlier that morning, a photo of her, Theodore, and Quentin being taken to the police station the previous night had been posted on Twitter.The headline said, "Bassett Corporation's president, Theodore Bassett, was caught fighting in the middle of the night for a mysterious woman."Although Willow and Quentin's faces were blurred, the blurring was barely effective. Anyone familiar with them could recognize them instantly.That was especially the case for Quentin, who was well-known after earning the title of one of Emperia's four elites. Many people knew hi

"Then how did he end up in a fight with Quentin?" Joey asked."He was saving me."Willow had no choice but to recount the events of the previous night to Joey.Frowning, Joey said, "Quentin, that ungrateful jerk… If it weren't for you, would the Strand family be where they are today? You deserve to take all of his assets, let alone half of it. All of it is rightfully yours anyway. And he had the nerve to lay his hands on you.""Luckily, Theodore arrived in time, so nothing serious happened. Even though Quentin got beaten up pretty badly, he didn't dare say much at the police station. After all, if he accused Theodore of assault, I could accuse him in return.""But why was Theodore at your place so late at night?" Joey teased, "Willow, did you let something slip?"Willow hastily replied, "It's not what you think. I just left my phone in his car.""Oh? So he sent you home?""It's not like that. Last night, I had dinner with Matthew and happened to bump into Theodore's assistant.

Theodore adjusted the height of the microphone on its stand, and the room quieted down in preparation for his speech.Theodore's clear and powerful voice echoed in the hall. "This press conference is to address the news from this morning. As a public figure, it was wrong of me to resort to physical violence, and for that, I apologize.""Mr. Bassett, does this mean you admit to hitting someone?""It's said that the person you hit is Strand Real Estate's president, Mr. Quentin Strand. Is that true?""Did the two of you fight over a woman? Who is she?"Theodore didn't respond to the questions immediately."That was me."A warm but calm voice drew everyone's attention.Willow walked onto the stage from the side. Although she didn't have a microphone, her voice was loud and clear. "My name is Willow Jett—former general manager of Strand Real Estate and ex-wife of Strand Real Estate's president. Mr. Bassett may have fought because of me, but I don't think he needs to be apologizing

Who would have thought that they, the reporters, would hear Theodore personally announce such explosive news that day?Clark quickly stepped up to maintain order while the bodyguards protected Willow and Theodore as they left.The reporters swarming around them nearly toppled Willow and Theodore."Ms. Jett, did you accept his confession?""When did you start dating?""Do you plan to get married?"The reporters continued to probe for more information."Today's press conference is over. If anyone has any more questions, we have dedicated staff to handle inquiries," Clark announced as he blocked the backstage door, nearly being squashed into a pancake.Oh, the misery! He hoped that the next time Theodore delivered such explosive news, the latter could first give the former a heads-up. This was just torture!Meanwhile, Theodore brought Willow to the backstage lounge."Alright, it's over now."Willow cleared her throat. "Then please let go of my hand."Theodore glanced at their
