The fire incident continued to escalate, resulting in four deaths and 12 serious injuries, making it a significant safety accident.Joywell Real Estate was thrust into the spotlight, facing a torrent of online criticism. Even at the hospital where Willow was staying, reporters camped out daily, trying to get interviews and reports.On the day of her discharge, Matthew took Willow out through the hospital's west gate, narrowly avoiding being caught by reporters.Fortunately, Clark arrived in time to block Willow and others. "The west gate is swarming with undercover reporters, so we can't go that way."Willow was stunned. She asked, "Mr. Arden, why are you here?""Mr. Bassett sent me," Clark replied. "Mr. Evans, please divert the reporters while Ms. Jett comes with me." Willow hesitated, but Matthew had already agreed. He said, "Okay, I'll go through the west gate. Annie's build is similar to Willow's, so she can switch coats with her.""No problem. Ms. Jett, please change cloth

Clark shook his head.Tobias's counterattack against Joywell clearly indicated his intent to drag everyone down with him. At such a critical moment, the company's Chief Financial Officer was missing, which made Joywell appear guilty to outsiders.Theodore's expression slightly darkened. He said, "Keep the news contained.""I understand, but the police are already at Joywell. I think some media might have caught wind of it."Before Clark could finish, Theodore's icy glare made him shiver. He quickly corrected himself, "I'll ensure the media stays silent."Theodore's orders allowed no excuses, only unconditional compliance."Alright. Go ahead."After Clark left, Theodore turned and went inside the house.Willow came out from her bath to find the table already set, and the maid had also discreetly left. Theodore sat alone at the dining table, looking at his phone.As Theodore replied to messages, he noticed from the corner of his eye that a set of utensils was placed on his plate

"I didn't tell you while you were still in the hospital. Joey, she—"The call abruptly ended with a beep as Matthew's response was cut off by someone hanging up. The screen went dark."Why did you hang up?""I already know everything."Despite Willow's anxious expression, Theodore remained calm as always. He said, "Mr. Evans doesn't know more than I do.""What exactly is going on?"Theodore briefly explained what happened on the day of the gas poisoning, knowing Willow was most worried about Joey. He reassured her, saying, "Don't worry too much. I've already sent Clark to look for her. As long as she's still in Emperia, we'll find her soon."Willow still felt uneasy. Forcing a smile, she said, "Thank you.""We must find Joey as soon as possible. Tobias is accusing Joywell, and now Joey is missing. This isn't just Tobias making things up to avoid blame. I suspect someone is plotting against Joey and me. I'm worried she's in danger.""Just focus on recovering at home. I'll han

"It's over?" Willow asked as she was very shocked. "Did they figure everything out?""Yeah. Our investigation team found no issues with Joywell's accounts, and Tobias has already confessed. Unless something unexpected happens, Joywell will only be held accountable for poor hiring practices. The court will make the final decision."Willow breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it was finally over.After seeing the police off, Willow couldn't wait to share the news with Theodore. "Theodore, the police just came by. They said the fire case was solved. Did you know?""Yeah, I know." His voice over the phone was calm, revealing no emotion.Willow was puzzled for a moment, wondering why he wasn't surprised, but then she remembered that Theodore had been handling the matter all along. It made sense he knew first.She complained, "You knew and didn't tell me? You still waited for me to call you?"His voice remained steady, "Isn't it better to discuss this in person? I'll be home soo

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Joey said.Willow, who had been anxious for two days, finally relaxed. She sighed in relief and said, "You scared me to death! Mr. Evans, the police and Theodore's people have been looking for you for days. Where have you been?""It's a long story. Where are you now?""I'm at Bassett Corporation. Today, Bassett Corporation and Joywell held a joint press conference. By the way, did you know that the fire case has been resolved? Tobias has confessed. Now that you're back safely, everything's fine."Willow couldn't hide her excitement."I saw the police statement, but Willow, tell me the truth. Was it really all Tobias' doing?""What do you mean by that?" Willow asked as she was confused."You don't know?"Willow was even more perplexed. She said, "Joey, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all. Is there something I should know?"There was a pause before Joey spoke again. "Last night, Tobias' younger brother suddenly went abroad to study."W

"Answer my question. I just want to know the truth.""The matter is resolved, and everyone has received the best possible outcome. That is the truth.""Does the 'best possible outcome' include Tobias' brother, who was sent abroad to study?"Facing Willow's questioning, Theodore remained calm and unreadable. He never showed mercy to strangers, especially when Tobias was far from innocent."This matter is over.""Not for me!" Willow's voice rose, trembling with disbelief as she looked at the man before her. She couldn't understand why he was so cold."I should have realized it earlier. Tobias had no personal vendetta against me. Even if he accidentally caused the fire, why would he target me and Joey? I was foolish to believe the story you fed the media!""I did it for your sake.""For my sake?" Willow's eyes widened in disbelief. "Even now, you claim it's for my sake? The real mastermind who tried to kill me is walking free under your protection, and you say that it's for my sak

Theodore's face was ashen, and his voice was intimidating. "Say that again."Willow remained unfazed. She continued to provoke him, "We are not from the same world. I respect your concerns, but I can't compromise my principles. Let's try to understand each other."Before she could finish speaking, Theodore's grip tightened, making her feel like her arm was about to be crushed. She gasped in pain, "What are you doing?"With a loud "bang", Willow's back was slammed against the door, and the loud noise caused by her scream could be heard from outside.Clark knocked on the door and asked, "Mr. Bassett, what's going on?"Willow's back felt like it was splitting open as waves of pain radiated from her lower abdomen. She suddenly realized something and weakly grabbed Theodore's clothes. She said weakly, "Theodore…""Is breaking up that easy for you?" Theodore was furious. He roughly grabbed Willow's shoulders and asked, "What do I mean to you?"Willow felt increasingly dizzy, and she

Theodore looked at Terence with a serious expression. He said, "So she knew she was pregnant all along but didn't tell me?""Maybe she didn't get the chance to say it. I asked the nurse, and she only found out the day she was poisoned by gas."It had only been a few days since then, but she had had multiple opportunities to tell him. Theodore's gaze darkened, knowing now wasn't the right time to pursue this."Let's not get into that now. What happened between you two?" Terence asked.As he mentioned this, Theodore leaned against the wall. He slowly relaxed against the wall and replied, "We had a conflict.""Did you lay a hand on her?"Seeing his silence, Terence took it as confirmation. As a doctor, he was furious. He scolded, "She's pregnant! How could you lay a hand on her? Are you out of your mind?"Theodore didn't defend himself. He frowned as his cold expression was shadowed with regret."I should tell you, her previous checkups showed this pregnancy was unstable. Now, wit

Due to the winter, there was a thin layer of frost outside.In the brightly lit Bassett Residence, Sara was still awake. She was listening intently on the phone, her face stern."Yes. Keep an eye on her. Don't let her leave the hospital."After hanging up, Sara frowned tightly. She said, "Theodore has already found a way to absolve her company of any guilt, but she still insists on making a fuss. What good does it do her to blow things up like this? She's such a malicious woman!""Well, in her eyes, Hailey is the real culprit.""The real culprit?" Sara asked as she shot Ellie a cold look.Ellie quickly corrected herself, "I mean, since we always hoped Hailey would marry Theodore, she's seizing this opportunity to ruin Hailey. She thought it would make it easier for her to marry into our family.""Dream on! If she wasn't pregnant with Theodore's child, I would've thrown her out of Emperia long ago rather than give her this special treatment."Sara, who had been a young widow, ha

Joey helped Willow back to her bed. Looking at Willow's still-flat belly, she sighed. She said, "I can't believe you're pregnant. If Dr. Roth hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known.""I only found out a few days ago myself. It's not that I wanted to hide from you. It's because I hadn't had the chance to tell you.""Forget it. You don't have to explain so much to me."Joey raised the thermos she held and said, "I had this soup made for you early this morning. You have symptoms of a threatened miscarriage, so you really shouldn't be moving around. You can check for yourself how serious it is. Dr. Roth wasn't lying.""Really?" Willow asked as she nervously touched her stomach."It's true. If you don't trust them, at least trust me."Willow frowned and gave up on leaving, but her concern remained. She said, "The fire incident is still a miscarriage of justice. I can't just ignore it.""Willow," Joey said with a complex expression. "I advise you to let it go.""Why are you saying thi
