Chapter 301

"Ms. Whalley." Willow heard the crowd addressing Erica. Before she could think of anything else, Erica had taken her hand.Erica introduced her to everyone, "Willow's my goddaughter. I might look like the star of the show tonight, but my main purpose is to introduce Willow to all of you at my party."Willow was Erica's goddaughter? Wasn't she Theodore's ex? Erica should have been her mother-in-law. Now she became her godmother instead? Everyone was floored.Theodore gasped. "Mom?"Willow whipped her head and turned to Erica. Confusion was evident in her eyes the moment she heard Theodore calling Erica his mother."Ms. Whalley, are you…"Erica squeezed her hand, stopping her."Ms. Whalley, how can you take her as your goddaughter?" Hailey blurted out in shock. "Do you know what kind of person she is?""Pray tell, what kind of person is she?"Hailey glared menacingly while pointing her finger at Willow."She's divorced and she cheated a huge chunk out of the Strand family's mon

Chapter 302

Willow, in a daze, was brought around the venue by Erica as Erica introduced her to the guests. She stole a complicated glance at Theodore, only to see him give her the same look. He was clearly oblivious about this too."Willow, they're proposing a toast to you. Come on!" Erica snapped Willow out of her trance, and she took the glass from Erica.However, someone swiftly took the glass away from her. Theodore held her glass and said with little emotion, "She can't drink. I'll take this one for her.""It's okay, I can…""Let him." Erica stopped Willow. "He's technically your older brother now. It's only right for him to drink on your behalf. One glass isn't enough. The rule is three drinks."She poured Theodore some more wine. Willow was baffled. Why was Erica putting Theodore on the spot? Was she really his mother?After a round of drinks, Willow had no sips of wine. Theodore, however, was mildly drunk from the looks of it."Ah, how useless."Erica gave him a disappointed glanc

"Gosh, how much did he drink? I can't stand the smell coming from him. No, no!" Erica exclaimed. She held her nose and stepped away from Theodore. Willow wanted to leave too, but Theodore was completely weighing on her. If it weren't for the attendant helping him as well, she would fall flat right now.The attendant suggested, "Ms. Whalley, why don't I send Mr. Theodore back to rest?""Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take him back!""Yes, Ms. Whalley." The attendant gave Willow a pleading look. "Ms. Jett, could you please help me? We'll help Mr. Theodore to the entrance. The car's there.""Uh, do you have no one else to help?" Willow scanned around the venue. Somehow, not a single attendant was around at this moment.Erica said, "Willow, leave him alone. You wouldn't want him to barf on you.""Well, I don't think it'll be that bad…" Willow glanced at Theodore in hesitation."Anyway, don't bother helping him. Just have him lie down around here if he needs to. He'll

Chapter 304

"You!" Willow was at a loss for words. Erica promised that if Willow was uncomfortable with Theodore, she could stop seeing him. However, Willow knew that Erica was just trying to appease her. She would not believe it. How could Erica do that? Theodore was her flesh and blood."Who knows what'll happen in the future? That's a topic for another day." Willow said somberly, "I want to get out. Let me go."When she saw that Theodore wasn't doing anything, she pulled at the door again. Of course, it was locked and would not open. In a fit of anger, she pressed the car window switch.Howling cold wind rushed into the car. Before she could get her head outside, Theodore yanked her back with brute force."Do you want to die?" he yelled. His voice sounded colder than the wind.Willow struggled hard, but he pinned her down. His tense thighs pressed against her calves, locking her into position."Let go of me, you jerk! You bastard!"Theodore was getting riled up looking at Willow strugg

Chapter 305

"How in the hell can you move on from our first child so easily?" Willow screeched.She continued, "Do you freaking know how we lost our first? Hailey Godfrey! Hailey Godfrey pushed me down the stairs that day!"Theodore was stunned. There was no trace of anger left within him, only panic and confusion.Willow stared at him in disbelief as many emotions roiled within her. "You were in and out with a woman who killed my baby. Do you expect me to give birth to a baby with you again?"Theodore's head throbbed. He was completely sober now. He sat under the dim lights as the cold wind blew on his face. He was beyond conscious."You never told me.""So what if I told you? Would you put that murderer in jail for our dead child?"Theodore looked at her, his gaze unmoving. He said sternly, "I'm sorry.""Ha!" Willow scoffed coldly. "I want to get out!""I'll take you home.""Don't. I don't want to stay around you any longer. You disgust me."Theodore's eyes narrowed as he stared at Wi

Chapter 306

Did Theodore have blood clots in his brain?Willow connected the dots immediately. "Was it because of that time when Cedar…"She saw Clark do nothing but sigh, and she knew she guessed correctly. Theodore hadn't injured his head in any other situation recently."Ms. Jett, Mr. Bassett really isn't as cruel as you make him out to be."Clark said something more, but Willow registered none of it. She stared blankly outside the car as her mind reeled in a state of chaos.…Clark drove back to pick Theodore up after he sent Willow home. It was almost minus four degrees Fahrenheit on a January night in Emperia. Theodore was only dressed in a thin suit when he stood outside for half an hour."Mr. Bassett, are you okay?"Theodore glanced at Clark and asked, "Should I not be okay?"Clark shrugged and shut up.Theodore regained his composure and got back to business. He asked, "Are there any updates about what I asked you to look into last time?"Clark immediately responded, "I think I

Chapter 307

"I've only asked you for one thing, haven't I?" Hailey asked. She had told Joey to keep an eye on Willow and to report everything Willow had done.Joey tightened her grip on the phone. "I can swear that she has had no contact with Theodore these days. I would've told you if they met.""Yeah, she didn't meet Theodore, but she got in touch with Theodore's mom. Why didn't you tell me?""What did you say?" Joey was truly dumbstruck. She had no idea.Hailey told her what happened at Erica's party. Joey replied, "Her godmother? I know that her godmother's Ms. Whalley. I've even seen Ms. Whalley at her home. How could she be Theodore's mother?""She's returned to the country for quite some time. She's the rumored wealthy heiress from abroad in the news. Now, I finally know that it was all part of her cover," Hailey explained bitterly.Joey gradually furrowed her brows when she heard Hailey. She said while deep in thought, "Quentin and Willow have been in frequent contact recently. I thi

Chapter 308

"You don't have to do this. Just focus on your own job," Theodore said dismissively. "Get out."Hailey replied awkwardly, "Oh… okay then, Theodore. Remember to have breakfast."She barely reached the door when she heard a sound from behind. She turned around to see that Theodore had dumped her breakfast sandwich in the trash.Riled up in humiliation, Hailey could only leave despite feeling bitter. She hurried out of the room, almost bumping into the person outside the door. "Hey, watch where you're going!" she shouted. Hailey assumed that she bumped into one of Theodore's assistants. They never let her work in peace.A woman replied, "I'm getting old. You're right that my eyesight isn't so good anymore."Hailey paled instantly. "Ms. Whalley, what brings you here?"Erica hummed and glanced at her coldly. "My son owns this place. I can come whenever I want. Why? Do I need your approval in advance to come here?""That's not what I meant.""I could care less about what you meant.

Chapter 309

The man was just past his 30s and had a decent appearance. However, he looked rather shrewd."Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Dariel Perez, a local in Emperia. I was utterly fascinated by you at last night's party. I wanted to exchange contacts with you, but you left too soon.""Hold on." Willow was dumbfounded. "How did you know I'm here?""Didn't Ms. Whalley tell you? She arranged for us to meet and get to know each other.""Excuse me, please give me a minute."Willow called Erica immediately."Sorry, the number you've dialed is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later."Great. Erica wasn't picking up. Willow looked at Dariel awkwardly."Uh, I was absolutely unaware of this meeting. I can't reach Ms. Whalley on her phone either. All of this is just too sudden."Dariel replied, "No, no, this isn't sudden at all. If anything, I have surprised you by being too eager."Willow coughed in embarrassment. "Well, shall we order some drinks then?""Alright." Dariel

Chapter 310

Dariel was too stunned to speak. "Wait, what? You two…"Theodore grabbed Willow's bag and dragged her away."I won't become your wife! Let go of me!" Willow struggled all the way out of the restaurant. Theodore stuffed her into the car using brute force."Ah!" With a cry, Willow fell painfully onto the car seat.She struggled to get up as Theodore placed one hand on the roof of the car and the other on the door. Anger burnt in his eyes as he spat out, "Why did you go on the blind date?"Willow rebutted, "You'll have to go home and ask your mom about that!""So, you went just because she told you to?" Theodore was enraged and shoved her back into her seat. "Who was that guy? Do you know him? You don't know him, yet you're dining with him?"Willow was also riled up. "Well, I'll know him once we have a meal together, no? I didn't know you from the beginning either!""What did you say?"Theodore's gaze turned gloomy and he frowned hard. His eyes could freeze over a layer of ice. H
