Hailey settled the bill and left with Stephanie. The both of them walked out haughtily after.Willow and Joey were now the only customers left in the store.Joey, who was still furious, remarked, "Hailey really is just like you said—she's a bird of the same feather as Stephanie."The sales assistant looked apologetic. "I'm really sorry about what happened."Willow replied, "It's fine—it was just an accident. You couldn't have predicted this anyway."She then took the still-fuming Joey by the hand. "Come on, help me pick out something else."Joey forced herself to regain her composure and comforted herself by saying, "Fine. You're beautiful anyway. What you wear doesn't matter; clothes are just accessories to enhance your natural beauty."While browsing through the clothes, Willow casually remarked, "I just find it strange how Hailey and Stephanie know each other.""What's so strange about it? Emperia is only so big, and it's normal for ladies from rich families to know each oth

"We can just discuss it now. Besides, isn't it better to have someone we already know as our advisor?" Joey remarked."This isn't about whether it's better or not, Joey…" Willow took a deep breath. "You still have feelings for Matthew, right?""This is all business. I won't be sloppy and involve my personal feelings.""What if I don't agree to it?"As soon as Willow finished speaking, Joey noticed Matthew standing at the restaurant's entrance.Joey replied, "Then you tell him yourself. I can't bring myself to say it." After saying this, she went straight into the restaurant.As she passed by Matthew, she gave him a long, hard look filled with complex emotions that seemed indescribable.Upon seeing Matthew, Willow was momentarily stunned, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.Matthew took a deep breath and approached her. "Willow, the advisor thing was my idea. Joey didn't think much about it and assumed you would agree. I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."

"Willow, let me take you home," Matthew offered.Willow declined immediately, "I'm good. Joey will take me."After dinner, Matthew offered to take Willow home but was refused without any hesitation.The usually-shrewd Joey acted as dumb as a rock all of a sudden. "Isn't it more convenient for Matthew to take you home? My house is in the opposite direction of yours."Displeased, Willow rolled her eyes at Joey. She suppressed her anger and stated, "Our places aren't that far from each other. Plus, I have something to discuss with you on the way."After she said that, she turned to Matthew. "We'll be going now, Matthew."Matthew reluctantly nodded. "Okay, drive safely. Let me know when you get home."Willow grabbed Joey's hand and walked away. As they left, Joey gave Matthew a meaningful look.The bustling city of Emperia under the night sky was mesmerizing.While she sat in the front passenger seat, Willow shot Joey several annoyed glares. "Do you have nothing better to do? What

It was now quite late in the evening. After freshening up, Willow wrapped a towel around her wet hair and grabbed an apple from the fridge. She then started looking through the company's bidding documents on her laptop while munching on the apple.Her phone chimed as a WhatsApp notification popped up, showing a message from Joey that read, "I'm home."Only after Willow read that message did she close her laptop and reply, "Good night. Go wash up and sleep early.""Nighty-night."Willow smiled at Joey's message.The following day, Bassett Corporation's banquet was scheduled for the evening.Bassett Corporation always held extravagant events. This time, they booked the top floor of the most luxurious hotel in Emperia, the Platinum Hotel.At the banquet, the exquisite tableware gleamed with a golden light, and there was an unlimited supply of various pastries and beverages. Even the waitstaff were all good-looking and pleasing to the eye."Mr. Bassett is here."Everyone turned to

Theodore furrowed his brows a little at Hailey's sudden move but quickly regained his composure."Let's go—the guests are waiting. Ms. Jett, feel free to enjoy yourself." Theodore led Hailey somewhere else after he said that casual remark.Seeing that there was no more drama to watch, the surrounding guests also dispersed.Willow clenched her fist as her gaze followed the backs of Theodore and Hailey. She couldn't bear to watch them leave together for some reason, as it made her feel uncomfortable.She wondered why she would feel uncomfortable. Didn't she already foresee this outcome and cut her losses early? This was just confirming her initial judgment."Willow." Joey's voice came from behind her. "Are you okay?"Willow snapped back to her senses. "I'm fine. Let's go find Mr. Whalen."She didn't come here to see Theodore but to see Rupert, one of Bassett Corporation's bidding project managers."I think I saw him over there.""Let's go."The two of them walked straight to wh

"Mr. Whalen is the best at passing the buck. In the end, he just wants us to engage in a price war with Strand Real Estate. He knows that price wars are the most taboo in the industry, yet he encourages it and enjoys the show," complained Joey."Of course they enjoy it. The more fiercely we fight with Strand Real Estate, the more they benefit."Willow took a deep breath and continued slowly, "If it comes to that, neither we nor Strand Real Estate will win. The only winner will be Bassett Corporation.""I have an idea." Joey's eyes twinkled with glee.Before she could continue, Willow spoke with a frown. "Don't even think about it. I'm not going to talk to him.""I haven't even said anything yet. How do you even know what I was going to say?""What else could it be? You've also seen him with Hailey today. How can I possibly approach him?""Admit it," Joey said with a smile. "You're jealous, aren't you? I knew it—you still have feelings for him but refuse to admit it."As they we

"You were the one who cheated during the marriage. You already had a new partner lined up and plotted with the lawyer to take half of the Strand family's assets. Yet, my brother is the one bearing all the infamy. How can you be so shameless?" Stephanie accused.Stephanie's voice grew louder as she continued to speak. "Today, I'm taking this opportunity to show everyone your true colors. Let's see who would want to work with someone like you in the future."Standing nearby, Hailey mockingly remarked, "It's normal to get divorced when the relationship sours, but employing such means shows a blatant disregard for your marital relationship, Ms. Jett.""Yeah, how could someone do that?" The crowd started murmuring in agreement."Even someone like that can get so much money? It just goes to show that those with audacity get it all.""They're living together? They must have been together for a long time already.""Does that mean Mr. Bassett ended things with her because he realized her

"Mr. Bassett, haven't you two already broken up? Why are you still defending her?" Stephanie questioned."Who told you that?" Theodore's cold-looking eyes glimmered with a faint chill. "Ms. Strand, have you never been in a relationship? Is there a couple out there that doesn't argue?"Willow's back suddenly stiffened, but it seemed that Theodore noticed, and he held her even tighter.With a hand around her waist and facing everyone, Theodore calmly announced, "Since everyone is here today, I'd like to announce something. The fight between me and Ms. Willow Jett has officially ended, and we are about to get engaged.""What?" Stephanie and Hailey looked utterly incredulous, and the onlookers at the scene were stunned.What was so special that day that everyone could witness such a dramatic reversal at the Bassett family's banquet and hear Theodore personally announce his engagement?At that moment, Willow was in a daze. She could not say a single word nor hear the discussions aroun

Theodore's expression visibly darkened. He suddenly grabbed Willow by the shoulders. "Who gave you the medicine?"Willow was bewildered to feel the strength of his grip. "Wasn't it you?""Look at me. Was I the one who delivered it to you?""But that day, you said…" Willow was extremely confused.That day, Theodore clearly said he had something to deliver to her house, and not long after, the butler of the Bassett family came with that box of medicine.Willow suddenly came to realize something. "If the medicine wasn't from you, then what you wanted to send to me wasn't the medicine?"As Theodore came to understand what this all meant, his expression turned even more frighteningly dark. "Did you take the medicine?"Willow's face turned pale, and she couldn't say a word.After holding her shoulders for a long while, he abruptly embraced her.Without needing her to say anything, he got the gist of what had happened. The person who made Willow believe it was him who sent the medici

The guests flocked to offer congratulations and quickly surrounded Willow and Theodore.Hailey and Stephanie were pushed to the outer edge of the crowd. Stephanie wasn't willing to give up and tried to go up to Theodore. "Mr. Bassett, you've been deceived by her, she's—""Stop it," Hailey interrupted her as she suppressed her jealousy. "Didn't you hear what Theo just said? He told me to keep you in check and stop you from talking nonsense.""How is what I'm saying nonsense? I'm doing this for you, aren't I?"After seeing Hailey's cold expression, which looked as if the former was blaming her, Stephanie frowned. "I just remembered I have other plans, so I'll be leaving now." With that, Stephanie walked away.Left alone outside the crowd, Hailey downed two cocktails in quick succession with clenched fists. She had finally gotten the opportunity to appear alongside Theodore in front of so many people, yet, at such a critical time, Willow had stolen all the limelight again.News of w
