Theodore rushed out and managed to grab Willow's arm before she entered the car. "Willow."Willow held back her displeasure and said in restraint, "Go back inside and have breakfast with Madam Sara. I'll go see Joey at the hospital. She's alone there, and I'm worried about her."They could still hear Sara talking inside. "I've lived long enough to see all the pearls and jewels in the world, but those don't even compare to Hailey's cookies."Willow gritted her teeth and said, "I'm off."She broke free from Theodore's grasp and entered the car, starting the engine. As she drove away from the Bassett Residence, she could still see him from the rearview mirror. Tall and lean, he remained standing at his spot, the trenchcoat accentuating his figure and stature.She strengthened her resolve and looked the other way. She didn't see him getting into another car afterward and leaving the residence as well.…In the ward, Joey was peeling an apple on the hospital bed as she talked to Wi

Theodore seemed to have resumed work, no longer having the time to talk to Willow on the phone. Willow quickly said goodbye and hung up, but she held her phone in disappointment.She spaced out on the couch and started to comfort herself. Theodore was so busy. Of course, his life didn't revolve around dating and romance like ordinary people. It was already a blessing that he could make time for lunch with her. How could he go on vacation with her like Annie suggested? Willow decided to snap out of it and began to focus on work.…For the following days, both Willow and Theodore were occupied with their work. They didn't meet until Friday.On Friday afternoon, the Joywell Real Estate employees set off to the hot spring resort by bus. The sky had already turned dark by the time they arrived. Everyone checked in at the front counter and retired to their rooms."Guys, don't forget that we'll have dinner at 7:30 p.m. in the banquet hall," Annie reminded. Then, she gave Willow the l

"Theodore, I haven't even had dinner since I've been waiting for you. Look, I brought some really nice wine too. The view is perfect here—""Do you want to get out on your own, or shall I call security?"Hailey immediately shut up, putting the wine bottle down reluctantly. As she reached the door, he asked, "Did you touch my phone?"She froze a little. "Willow called you. I happened to see it, so I helped pick it up."She turned around and saw Theodore's terrifying expression. She explained panickedly, "I didn't mean to do it. I was just worried that she's urgently looking for you. "I only answered the call because I thought she might have some emergency. Theodore, I can explain this to her.""Get out!" He ordered coldly in a loud voice.Hailey quickly left. Her face darkened the moment she closed the door. She walked and phoned someone. "Do it tonight. I'll give you the rest of the money within a month. Remember, don't leave any traces."…Back in the room, Theodore clut

Facing the cameras, Willow bowed first. She said, "We are thoroughly investigating the cause of the fire to prevent a recurrence. Joywell Real Estate will bear all the damages, and we sincerely apologize for the impact on the community.""Some said the incident happened because none of your site managers were present. Ms. Jett, can you explain why?""Our safety manager is always stationed on-site.""But photos online show your staff at a hot spring hotel these past two days."The media reporters quickly echoed the question, pressing Willow for an explanation."Do you admit this accident was due to negligence?""How can you ensure this won't happen again?"Willow was at a loss for words. Her assistant, Annie, tried to shield her from the barrage of questions."We were on a company retreat, but not everyone attended. Our safety manager remained on-site. Please don't jump to conclusions based on photos.""Where is the safety manager now?""We are trying to reach him.""Are you

"Willow! Willow!"Inside the wardrobe, Matthew desperately pushed the door open. With a loud crash, he fell out. As he saw Willow unconscious on the floor, he picked her up and rushed out without hesitation.Meanwhile, a pale and third hand moved slightly in the wardrobe. The eyes that had just opened were filled with despair. The lips quivered, but no sound came out.At the hospital, Willow woke up. As she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a white ceiling above her."Hey, don't move," a familiar voice came nearby."Mr. Evans.""You're finally awake.""Did you save me?""Yes."Willow suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "Where's Joey?"Matthew's eyes flickered slightly, but when he looked up, he looked calm. He said, "She's fine. Don't worry."Willow breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "As long as she's okay. Did you call the police?""I did, but I think there's something more important you need to focus on right now," Matthew said as he handed her
