"Why hasn't he come down yet?" Penny glanced anxiously up the stairs. "Do you think Jessica tore into Cedar so bad he might be crying?""Do you really think so?" Willow asked."Why not? You remember how she chased off a dozen assistants with that razor-sharp tongue of hers, right? She's brutal and never admits when she's wrong. I'm worried Cedar might be in real trouble," Penny said as her face clouded with concern."Why is Uncle Cedar in trouble?" Yasmine asked, blinking with curiosity."Because he's up against someone really fierce," Penny replied with a serious look."Fierce? Like a dinosaur?" Yasmine asked."Even scarier than a dinosaur," Penny said before shaping her hands like claws. "Rawr!"Yasmine giggled so hard that she fell into Theodore's arms.He held her close and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath. "Time to eat your lunch now."Even Willow hadn't realized that Cedar, who always seemed so mild and unassuming, had quietly become a force to be reck

Chapter 592

"Hello?" Theodore answered the phone as he stepped out from behind his desk. A deep crease formed on his forehead as he listened to Sean's voice from the other end. "Do we know what caused it yet?""They're saying it was a brake failure. The service center just towed the car, and we won't have the inspection results until tonight." Sean paused briefly before continuing, "But if it turns out to be deliberate and the driver happened to be Ms. Jett…"Theodore went quiet for a moment, and his expression hardened. "Get to the bottom of this. Fast."As soon as Theodore hung up the phone, Cedar turned to him. "What's going on? What happened?""Willow might not be safe in Emperia.""What are you talking about?" Cedar's voice tensed with concern.Theodore's grip on the phone tightened as he glanced out the study window. Willow, Penny, Jessica, and Yasmine were enjoying their time together in the backyard. His expression darkened with concern."Don't worry. I'll take care of it," he said.

Chapter 593

Willow and Clark hadn't seen each other in the three years since she left Emperia. Just as she was about to leave, she overheard Clark speaking to Theodore."Mr. Bassett, the results from the service center's inspection are in. It turns out the brake failure was no accident. It was tampered with. If Ms. Jett hadn't lost her keys that day, she would've been the one in the crash. His target was Ms. Jett.""No, his target was me." Theodore's voice was grim. He cast a long, dark glance toward the ICU. "Zeke went bankrupt here, and now, three years later, he's managed to get his company listed overseas. He's playing the game well—disappearing and reappearing just when it suits him."Clark's expression was grave. "Goldstone Group was built on dirty money and ruthless moves. When the anti-crime investigation caught up to them three years ago, Zeke threatened you to help him. You refused, and it looks like he's been holding onto that grudge ever since.""Have Iris go to Yaron's birthday ba

Chapter 594

If it hadn't been for Iris, Zeke Jacobson—Theodore's nemesis—would have undoubtedly gone after Willow instead.Theodore paused, his voice steady and unyielding. "No."Willow's eyes wavered for a moment before locking onto his."From the moment Zeke started making threats, my priority was to make sure you and your family were protected. I never intended for Iris to get involved. But yes—agreeing to divorce you, separation, and starting the cold war was my way of steering Zeke's focus toward her," Theodore explained.The sunlight had softened the harsh lines of his striking features considerably.After what happened to Iris three years ago, Theodore had tried but failed to find the person responsible for that night. But with the threats hanging over him, he had no doubt it was Zeke's way of sending a warning and revenge. And with that realization, Theodore decided to let the misunderstanding stand."I didn't tell you because I knew you'd never agree with what I did," he added.By

Theodore stood frozen, watching helplessly as Willow's white sedan disappeared down the street.Inside the car, Willow's emotions slowly began to calm. She glanced at the rearview mirror. Her eyes were still puffy and red, tear tracks stained her cheeks, and her makeup was smudged.While sitting at a red light, she grabbed a tissue and gently wiped her face. Theodore's words played over in her mind.Three years ago, when Goldstone Group went bankrupt and was dismantled, its president, Zeke, had fled the country. He had returned under a new identity, pulling off a successful comeback through a reverse takeover.But even with his bold move, it didn't seem like he'd be reckless enough to stir up trouble so soon. Willow started to question whether Zeke was really the one who had sabotaged her car. Maybe…She stopped wiping her face. Her mind shifted to someone who had recently made it clear she wanted her out of the way. The thought felt much more plausible.…After Kathy brewed a p

Chapter 596

Iris turned as pale as a ghost."Don't be afraid," Jessica reassured her. "It's just a tranquilizer gun. They'll be up in half an hour."Iris took a step back. Her fear was unmistakable. "You have a bodyguard?"Of course, she did. Jessica was the Regal Crest Group's heiress, and there was no way she'd be caught without protection.Her bodyguards were all ex-special forces. Even the least formidable among them had served as international mercenaries. Taking on 100 foes might be a stretch, but handling ten at once was no problem for them.Jessica's eyes hardened abruptly, and she commanded icily, "Hold her down."Before Iris could even process what was happening, rough hands grabbed the back of her neck and shoved her down toward the fish pond.She thrashed wildly. "Let me go!"Jessica scooped up a handful of fish food and casually sprinkled it over Iris' head. Some pellets fell into the water, drawing the orange-red goldfish into a frenzy. The fish swarmed together, frantically

"I certainly haven't forgotten," Cedar said, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow. "I wouldn't even know where to look for you if you weren't friends with Willow. So…"He stepped closer, and Jessica instinctively backed away."What are you doing?" she asked."Looks like being near you has its advantages," Cedar said.A dull ache began to build in Jessica's temples. She'd lived over 20 years and dated more men than she could count on her fingers. So why did this guy make her heart skip and her mind spin, like a teenager with her first crush?"I'm not going," Jessica said. She took a deep breath and willed herself to stay calm. "I have the right to say no, don't I?""Then I'll go tell Willow," Cedar said."Wait!" Jessica called out in a panic. "What are you going to tell her?"Cedar shot her a sly smile. "Why are you so nervous?"Jessica gritted her teeth. "Say one word to Willow about what happened in Faldoria and I'll turn against you.""What's the big deal if she finds o

"Why is Jessica staying at Theodore's house, then?" Iris demanded."S-She's Willow's friend," the two goons stammered.Iris snapped back to the moment. "So, Willow's living there, too?""Yes."Iris clenched her fists.…Night had fallen over the hillside villa. On the second-floor balcony, Iris stood in a red silk nightgown. Her hair spilled over her shoulders and gave her an almost ghostly appearance."Hello? It's me." She gripped her phone as she spoke to someone at the Bassett Residence. "I saw the photos."…Willow returned home late that night. Her face clouded with concern when she found out Iris had been there earlier."How's Jessica?" she asked.Penny was lounging on the couch with Yasmine in her arms. They were snacking on oranges. "What's there to worry about? She put Iris in her place. I can't believe I missed it. It's such a shame.""Are you sure everything's fine? Why hasn't she come back yet?""She said she was going to a concert with someone.""Does she eve

"Who let you in here?" Willow tried to push Theodore away, but his towering presence held her in place."Don't move." Theodore released her and bent over to examine her ankle. "Did you hurt yourself?""I'm fine." Willow pulled her foot back and muttered, "Do you have any idea how terrifying it is to have someone lurking around in the middle of the night?""If I'm not mistaken, this is my room," Theodore responded."So, you're trying to kick me out? Fine, I'll go!" Willow was about to storm off the bed when a thought stopped her, and she sat back down. "Oh, I get it. Reverse psychology, huh? Well, it's not going to work. I have no plans to go back to Portumville anytime soon. Even if you want me gone, I'm staying right here."Theodore was caught between amusement and exasperation. "Who has ever asked you to leave?""Have you already forgotten what you said this morning?" Willow crossed her arms, pouting. "I guess I shouldn't take what a man says too seriously.""I just wanted you

Chapter 600

For days, Willow had been weighed down by heavy thoughts.On Saturday, Theodore left the villa early to pick Yaron up from daycare. As soon as he left, Willow slipped out of the house in casual attire. In the walk-in closet of the master bedroom, the gown and high heels she'd planned to wear to the birthday banquet hung untouched.She climbed into her white car and drove, leaving the city behind. Her destination was the orphanage in the eastern suburbs."Hello, I'm here to see my daughter," Willow said."You must be Ms. Jett, correct?" The orphanage director adjusted his glasses, looked up, and assessed her."Yes, that's me."He was a middle-aged man with a keen, observant look in his eyes. "We've already spoken with the couple who adopted your daughter. They're willing to meet with you.""Really? That's wonderful! Can we schedule a time? Is there any chance I could see them today?""Folks out in the countryside have plenty of time. How about this? Arnold can take you over ther
