All Chapters of The Doting Bigwig: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

Willow's gaze darkened. Quentin thought he made her angry and quickly apologized. "Sorry. I shouldn't have asked. Take it as I never said anything.""What you said is true." Willow, on the contrary, calmed down. "We've broken up for some time now. Wasn't it on the news? What did the rumors say?""Nothing much. It's all hearsay. Only fools would believe those. I don't believe anything that doesn't come from you."Willow chuckled. "Thanks." She didn't expect that Quentin and her could make peace as friends today.Quentin drove her to the mall. "What time will you leave tonight? I'll give you a ride.""It's okay. I can take the taxi back home.""Willow, don't feel like you're troubling me or think that I expect something from you in return. I just want to thank you.""You don't have to, really." Willow stood outside the car and waved at him. "You should go back. My friend's waiting for me."Quentin could only oblige. He remained there for a long time after she entered the mall.H

"Who are you?" Sonia scanned Erica from head to toe disrespectfully. She couldn't spot any branded items from Erica's outfit. Nevertheless, Erica was fashionable and well-groomed. She didn't look like she had anything valuable aside from her bag.Erica knew that the rich ladies in Emperia had their own cliques. They wouldn't hang out with people like Willow. So, she assumed that Erica was not important.The store manager heard the commotion and rushed over. The moment she saw Erica, she went up to her respectfully and asked, "Ms. Whalley, what happened?"Did the store manager know Erica? Everyone was dumbfounded, including Sonia and Willow.The manager introduced Erica to the staff. "Why are you all just standing here doing nothing? This is Ms. Whalley, the creative director of our brand. She's also a shareholder of our corporation."Everyone's jaw dropped. Willow couldn't believe it. This brand had over a hundred year's history, and they had a high bar for their creative direct

"Sure thing. I'll definitely be there," Willow promised. She could give Erica a birthday present too. "Also, you never told me you're a designer, Ms. Whalley. I thought you were a housewife.""I was indeed a housewife. That was before I got divorced.""Divorced?""I remarried my second husband," Erica explained. "That's why I think that it means nothing if your first marriage fails. My current husband and I are living happily together.""Really?" Willow blinked mischievously. "Well, didn't you sing another song when you were at my home? You said your husband left you alone outside when he was on a business trip. Have you forgotten about it?"Erica was stumped. Ah… She shouldn't have lied."Ahem… Well, it's common to have some bickering in a marriage.""Ah, yeah. You must be madly in love with each other. I'll see my dear godmother and godfather being the perfect happy couple at your birthday party, right?" Willow teased her.Erica paused and stared at Willow in surprise when sh

Erica didn't take him seriously. She answered, "Sure. I hope your plans remain unchanged until my birthday."Theodore was perplexed at Erica's cryptic comment and the look on her face. However, he was too occupied to think of anything else. The recent rumors about Willow and Quentin were making him annoyed and insecure.No one knew where the information came from, but he heard it over several business meals. Quentin apparently had a fallout with his wife and got back in close contact with his ex-wife. He and Willow might very well remarry.…It was quiet inside the car after Erica left. Clark said while driving, "Mr. Bassett, I have findings from the investigation you told me to run on Tobias Holland."Theodore slightly looked up, his gaze turning cold. "Tell me.""An informant told us that the coroner in charge of examining the corpse had been switched. There was another coroner who had completed the examination, but his medical report was deemed invalid. They changed it to the

Willow wouldn't have lost her baby if it weren't for Hailey."Why are you here?" Willow questioned.Hailey shot back with anger, "I should be the one asking you that question. How dare you show up at a Bassett family party?""A Bassett family party? What are you talking about?""Quit playing dumb. Did you hurt your head from the fall? Is that why you're pretending to be oblivious in front of me? Who let you in here?"Hailey called for security before Willow could react. "Is this how you do your job? Why did you let just anyone come in without an invitation?"The person in charge of security looked at Willow and said politely, "Please show us your invitation."Although Willow felt offended, she thought that Erica must have invited Hailey because Erica's family was well-connected. She didn't want to start a fight and dampen Erica's party, so she obliged and took out her invitation."What?" Hailey gasped in disbelief, "How do you have an invitation? It must be a fake!"At that mo
