The bow around Willow's collar loosened during the struggle, revealing her smooth, flawless skin.As the temperature in the room seemed to rise, Theodore's gaze grew heated. He tightened his grip on her wrist, their faces drawing closer.In a panic, Willow turned away to avoid his face and shut her eyes.The kiss landed on her earlobe, and the cool sensation jolted Theodore back to his senses. Seeing her tense, anxious expression, he furrowed his brows. After letting her go, he sat up.With the pressure suddenly off of her body, Willow quickly moved aside.The atmosphere seemed to freeze, and the awkwardness became so palpable that it could've made one wish to disappear.Theodore bent over to pour a cup of tea, saying calmly, "If you're not up for it, I can wait. But don't take too long."Willow was stunned.The cup was then pushed in front of her. The tea inside was clear and fragrant, the aroma strong yet not overpowering. Theodore's hand that touched the cup looked flawles

"What secret?" Quentin asked.Willow smirked. "Before we got divorced, I already cheated on you."Quentin was extremely shocked. "What did you say?""Didn't you say that kind of thing happens a lot in this industry? Why are you so surprised when it happens to you?""Say that again." Quentin grabbed Willow's hand in anger. "When did it happen?"Willow didn't expect him to get physical with her. "Let go of me!""You want me to let go? You bitch!" The furious Quentin turned red with rage. He shoved Willow against the wall and began choking her. "You still had the gall to take half of my assets after you cheated on me?"Gasping for air, Willow struggled and slapped him across the face, but she was no match for his strength.Just as she thought she was about to pass out, the elevator door suddenly opened. Someone rushed out and, upon seeing what was happening, immediately punched Quentin hard in the face, followed by a fierce kick.Clutching her neck, Willow coughed incessantly aft

The police officer asked, "What exactly happened?"Willow and the other three sat in front of the police.Aside from Clark, the other three were people with somewhat special identities, especially Theodore. That was why it was best to minimize and resolve the issue quietly.Willow piped up, "This is just a misunderstanding.""A misunderstanding?" The police officer pointed at Quentin, who was bruised and swollen. "You call this a misunderstanding?""Why don't you explain what happened then, Mr. Strand?" Willow didn't try to explain herself but instead gave Quentin a long look.Quentin, who was covering an eye, was startled. Although he was indignant, he could only say, "It really is a misunderstanding. We were just joking around."Since the person who was assaulted didn't want to press charges, the police didn't ask further questions."This counts as disturbing the peace. You'll be getting a verbal warning this time. Sign the forms, and it's over. If this happens again, you won

The next day, Willow was woken up by a phone call. "Hello?" she answered groggily."Were you still sleeping?" Joey's voice was on the other end."Joey? Are you back from your business trip?""I just got back and saw the news. You're famous now.""What news?""I'll send it to you. Read it yourself."Willow, not understanding the situation, looked at the news article Joey had sent. She became fully awake almost immediately.Earlier that morning, a photo of her, Theodore, and Quentin being taken to the police station the previous night had been posted on Twitter.The headline said, "Bassett Corporation's president, Theodore Bassett, was caught fighting in the middle of the night for a mysterious woman."Although Willow and Quentin's faces were blurred, the blurring was barely effective. Anyone familiar with them could recognize them instantly.That was especially the case for Quentin, who was well-known after earning the title of one of Emperia's four elites. Many people knew hi

Theodore adjusted the height of the microphone on its stand, and the room quieted down in preparation for his speech.Theodore's clear and powerful voice echoed in the hall. "This press conference is to address the news from this morning. As a public figure, it was wrong of me to resort to physical violence, and for that, I apologize.""Mr. Bassett, does this mean you admit to hitting someone?""It's said that the person you hit is Strand Real Estate's president, Mr. Quentin Strand. Is that true?""Did the two of you fight over a woman? Who is she?"Theodore didn't respond to the questions immediately."That was me."A warm but calm voice drew everyone's attention.Willow walked onto the stage from the side. Although she didn't have a microphone, her voice was loud and clear. "My name is Willow Jett—former general manager of Strand Real Estate and ex-wife of Strand Real Estate's president. Mr. Bassett may have fought because of me, but I don't think he needs to be apologizing
