Chapter 351

"Theodore!"Willow stared in disbelief at the blood pouring out before her, her mind going blank as blood dripped from her hand onto the floor.Theodore touched her cheek, his voice low and hoarse. "Don't panic. It's okay."He turned around while clutching his bleeding abdomen. Gina's hand trembled, and the knife clanged to the ground. "It's not my fault. You ran into it yourself!"Theodore's gaze was icy. "You should be grateful that Willow wasn't the one that got stabbed by that knife, or I would have made you and your entire family pay a hundredfold."Theodore walked toward her. The sight of blood dripping from his fingers to the floor was terrifying."Don't come any closer." Gina backed away in sheer panic, her entire body trembling with fear."Go back and tell your daughter that her ruined reputation is her own doing. If she wants to end up in prison like Sonia Sutton, I'll be more than happy to send her in."After pausing for a moment, Theodore fixed his dark gaze on Gi

Chapter 352

"What about Stephanie?""Well, it depends on whether you want to press charges."Stephanie was also initially a victim, but from the moment she started to scheme to frame Willow, she went from being a victim to a perpetrator. Her fate now rested entirely in Willow's hands.However, Willow was indifferent about it. "We can talk about that some other time. Let me see your wound."She couldn't be bothered to think about the Strand family right now. As a matter of fact, she couldn't care less about what would happen to them. Her mind was still replaying the scene of Theodore rushing into the office.Theodore turned to button his shirt. "There's nothing to see. I'm fine."Willow immediately grabbed his arm. "Let me see."Not giving him a chance to protest, she pushed his hand aside and began unbuttoning his half-buttoned shirt. Just then, the door suddenly opened with a bang."Theodore!" Two voices called out simultaneously from the doorway. Cedar and Erica were at the door. Their

Chapter 353

"Does she usually take any chronic medication?""My mother has high blood pressure, so she usually takes antihypertensive medication. Recently, she complained about poor sleep, so she's been taking some over-the-counter calming medication to help her sleep.""Did you bring them with you? I'd like to have a look.""She should have them with her in her bag."Quentin rummaged through Gina's bag and found several bottles of medication. The doctor took out a few capsules and examined them for a while, but he couldn't determine what they were. Then, he handed them to the nurse. "Take these to the lab for testing.""Doctor, what's wrong with my mother?""To put it bluntly, the patient may have been taking medications that damage the kidneys for a long time. Fortunately, she was brought in early. Otherwise, if her condition was allowed to worsen, it could have become a serious issue.""How is that possible? The antihypertensive medication was prescribed by the hospital. And the calmin

Chapter 354

Willow was momentarily stunned, her eyes widening in shock.Gritting his teeth, Quentin said, "I know I'm asking for a lot, but I really don't know who else I can trust right now. Willow, could you please take care of my mom for a little while?"Willow frowned slightly when she heard him."The Strand family is in disarray right now. If they find out my mom is sick, those relatives with their own agendas will definitely come after her when I'm not around."Right now, Stephanie is mentally unstable, there's no one at home, and the police have also called me in to cooperate with their investigation…"Quentin spoke disjointedly, listing all the problems he was facing as if he were on the verge of collapse."And? Why should Willow even help you just because you asked?"A cold voice came from behind Willow. Theodore lifted his cold gaze by a fraction, staring unblinkingly at Quentin. The oppressive atmosphere was laced with unceremonious mockery."You blindly listen to your mother, y

"Who said anything about looking forward to it?" Willow's face was burning with embarrassment, and she quickly changed the topic. "I'm going inside to have a look. Just stay here."After Quentin let Gina know he needed to go, he thanked Willow and Theodore profusely before hurrying off.Willow's gaze hardened as she looked at Gina, who was lying motionless on the bed. She poured a glass of water and brought it over.It was evident that Quentin was pampered growing up—he didn't even notice how dry and cracked Gina's lips were even after talking to her for so long. He could have at least gotten her a glass of water."Take your time. I'll go get more water.""You don't have to. This is enough.""Alright, then just rest for a bit. Let me know if you need anything."Willow sat down and placed the glass of water on the coffee table. Across from her was Theodore, who was flipping through a magazine. His features were as perfect as ever, and his expression was cold and distant.Gina le

Chapter 356

"Perhaps Godfrey Group will use the commercial development of that area to firmly establish their foothold in Emperia." After Willow picked up on what Gina was trying to say, she spoke in a firm tone. She turned to Theodore, trying to glean something from his expression, but he remained as calm as ever and showed no emotion, leaving her unable to guess his thoughts.After Quentin returned, Willow and Theodore left the hospital. Once they were home, Willow put her coat down."Erica should be asleep. You should go rest too. Sleep early." Theodore grabbed a bottle of beer from the fridge and opened it. As the fizz of it opening filled the air, white foam spilled out all over his fingertips. "You can't drink right now." Willow immediately took the beer from his hand. "I'll heat up some milk for you."Theodore frowned. "Is there nothing you want to ask me?""Not really.""Do you have any questions about what Mrs. Strand said?"Willow was visibly startled for a second but didn't st

Chapter 357

"You can reopen the case. All the evidence points to Godfrey Group. Edward and his family are the masterminds, and it has nothing to do with anyone in the Bassett family."Theodore's cold voice echoed in the study, allowing no dissent.Willow stared at him. "Are you trying to get me to clear your grandmother of any responsibility?"The cold wind outside howled, beating against the glass. Theodore's eyes were as cold as ice. "Willow, the world isn't just all black and white.""Everyone must take responsibility for their actions. If one is bold enough to do it, one should be bold enough to face the consequences.""Grandma is old.""Then have you thought about those who died in the fire? They also had families, parents, and children. Were their elders not old?"After taking a deep breath, Willow handed the documents back to Theodore. "I don't need these. I'll keep investigating, or I will never find peace."The documents hung between them, but Theodore didn't try to take them. Wil

Chapter 358

The car slowly rolled to a stop by the roadside. Through the windshield, Theodore could clearly see that the person inside was Matthew. His eyes darkened immediately."Willow Jett!" He suddenly grabbed Willow's arm, his voice cold as he demanded, "Do you simply not want to twist the truth, or are you trying to use this as a way to sever ties with me completely?""What are you talking about? Let go of me!""Answer my question!"As Theodore's face contorted with anger, he tightened his grip to the point of nearly crushing her wrist. "Anyone but you can reopen the case. Do you understand?""Let go of me!" Willow's face flushed red from the struggle, and in her frustration, she snapped, "Stop with the righteous talk!"Anyone can reopen the case? Even if you expose the evidence to the public, who in Emperia would dare make the Bassett family their enemy?""If you know that, then why are you insisting on doing as you please? Do you think having that random contract from Mrs. Strand is

Chapter 359

In the car, Willow didn't look too good.Matthew asked as he drove, "What happened just now? Is everything alright?"Willow took a deep breath to calm herself before replying, "It's nothing. What was the new evidence you mentioned over the phone?""Tobias' brother has a recording.""A recording? Of what?""The entire conversation between Hailey and Tobias during their transaction. The recording proves that Tobias was bribed by Hailey to deliberately start the fire."As Matthew explained, he grew more excited. "Once we hand this recording over to the police, the truth will come out. Even if Hailey is a wealthy heiress, so what? With solid evidence, I'm sure she won't be able to find another guy to take the fall for her."Despite having the evidence in hand, Willow didn't feel the expected sense of satisfaction. Instead, she felt a bit downcast.Noticing her reaction, Matthew asked, "What's wrong?""I wish it were that simple." Willow looked up at him. "Come with me to the hospi

Chapter 360

Closing his eyes, Theodore leaned back in his seat to rest. His phone vibrated twice, displaying a message. The moment he saw it, his gaze abruptly sharpened."Donnie, turn the car around!" His cold voice echoing in the car caused Donnie to shiver and almost run a red light.Right then, Theodore's phone was showing a message from the private investigator that read, "Madam Sara has taken Ms. Jett."…Half an hour earlier, at the hospital, Gina had Quentin hand over the development plan to Willow."If you need me to testify in court, I will definitely cooperate.""Thank you in advance."Matthew recorded the conversation on the side and asked Gina for details about her conversation with Edward at the time. As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.Willow was slightly startled when she saw the somewhat familiar face through the window of the ward. "I'll step out for a moment."In the corridor, David respectfully said, "Ms. Jett, Madam Sara requests your presence."Seei
