All Chapters of The Doting Bigwig: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

"From what you're saying, it seems like those reporters might not be entirely off base. What's going on with you guys?" Joey asked.Willow felt her blood boil at the mention of it. "I ran into Quentin backstage yesterday. He asked me for a favor, and then Mr. Bassett stormed in, making snarky remarks about me being cheated and divorced. "He really knows how to push my buttons. Isn't he just looking for a fight?""Quentin asked you for a favor? Where did he get the nerve?""That's beside the point," Willow replied, feeling annoyed. She waved her hand dismissively. "Just drop it. I don't want to talk about it."She signed the document and passed it to Joey. Suddenly, something crossed her mind. "Oh, Joey, didn't you say that the day you got carbon monoxide poisoning, some old guy collecting trash by the dumpster saved you? Where does he live?"Joey's temples throbbed. "Why are you suddenly asking about that?""He saved your life, and I want to thank him properly. The area near th

The elevator chimed and the doors opened smoothly. Willow approached her apartment door and entered her passcode. After keying in the six-digit code, she pushed the door open and stepped inside, setting the two boxes of health supplements on the entryway cabinet.As she was about to close the door, a hand caught it. Startled, she looked up quickly. "What are you doing here too?"The word "too" was like a match, sparking jealousy in Theodore's heart. He demanded, "Who else has been here besides me?"Willow frowned. Wanting to avoid any conflict, she replied, "No one. Why are you here?""No one? Then where did those boxes in your hand come from?" Theodore's cold voice echoed down the hallway, his hand gripping the doorframe tightly. "Willow, I'm asking you again. Who else has been here?""Why do you care?" Willow's anger flared at Theodore's cold and dismissive demeanor. Without saying a word, she began to shove him out. "Get out! You're not welcome here!"However, Theodore was

The child. It was always about the child.The official end of the engagement, whether Theodore meant for it to happen or not, became an unavoidable fact. Whatever hidden reasons existed, it was a reality that couldn't be changed.Willow had come to terms with it. Yet, he was back in her life, using the child as a reason to stay close, even though he had moved on with someone else. What did he take her to be? She was enraged. Feeling trapped and desperate, she sank her teeth into Theodore's arm. Theodore grunted but quickly stifled it, letting Willow bite with all her might. Her teeth left deep marks that broke his skin. The metallic taste of blood in her mouth made her feel sick. With a sudden burst of strength, she pushed him away, struggling with nausea as she fled toward the door.Willow barely avoided crashing into Terence, who sidestepped just in time. Confused, Terence turned to Theodore. "What's going on?"Theodore remained silent, his face set in a grim expression.Onl

Erica's voice was soft and soothing, and her Jadenbrook accent gave Willow a cozy, familiar feeling."Hey, I don't think I caught your name," Erica said."I'm Willow Jett," Willow replied.Willow and Erica discovered they had a lot in common as they talked, and before long, they'd spent over half an hour chatting away.Cedar carried the dishes from the kitchen to the dining table and checked the time with a frown. "Willow, can I talk to you for a second?"He then pulled Willow aside.Willow looked confused. "What's going on?""It's getting pretty late. Why is she still here?" Cedar asked, pointing at his watch. "Look."It was already past 9:00 p.m."Do you think she could be a scammer or something?""Don't be silly. Her husband's working late and is stuck at the office. Just set another place at the table," Willow said."You're inviting her to join us for dinner?""What? Do you want her to just sit there while we eat?" Willow gave Cedar a reassuring pat. "Go on."Cedar rel

The last bit of hope in Willow's heart finally shattered, taking with it the deep trust she once had in Theodore. She had seen the truth for herself, and it was undeniable.She had once thought of Theodore as her hero, rescuing her from the darkest corners of her life and guiding her back to the light and the beauty of the world.Despite the anger and the hurtful things she'd said in the past few days, she knew their argument wasn't about their feelings for each other. It was about their conflicting views on how to deal with the fire incident.Willow had assumed he felt the same way, which is why he hadn't agreed to the breakup. When she got the results of the prenatal checkup, he was the first person she wanted to talk to. But now, it all felt absurd.Her eyes turned icy and distant. After a moment, she closed them slowly, and a single tear dripped onto the steering wheel with a faint plink, quickly lost amid the outside noise.The engine of her white sedan roared as it raced awa
