The fire incident continued to escalate, resulting in four deaths and 12 serious injuries, making it a significant safety accident.Joywell Real Estate was thrust into the spotlight, facing a torrent of online criticism. Even at the hospital where Willow was staying, reporters camped out daily, trying to get interviews and reports.On the day of her discharge, Matthew took Willow out through the hospital's west gate, narrowly avoiding being caught by reporters.Fortunately, Clark arrived in time to block Willow and others. "The west gate is swarming with undercover reporters, so we can't go that way."Willow was stunned. She asked, "Mr. Arden, why are you here?""Mr. Bassett sent me," Clark replied. "Mr. Evans, please divert the reporters while Ms. Jett comes with me." Willow hesitated, but Matthew had already agreed. He said, "Okay, I'll go through the west gate. Annie's build is similar to Willow's, so she can switch coats with her.""No problem. Ms. Jett, please change cloth

"I didn't tell you while you were still in the hospital. Joey, she—"The call abruptly ended with a beep as Matthew's response was cut off by someone hanging up. The screen went dark."Why did you hang up?""I already know everything."Despite Willow's anxious expression, Theodore remained calm as always. He said, "Mr. Evans doesn't know more than I do.""What exactly is going on?"Theodore briefly explained what happened on the day of the gas poisoning, knowing Willow was most worried about Joey. He reassured her, saying, "Don't worry too much. I've already sent Clark to look for her. As long as she's still in Emperia, we'll find her soon."Willow still felt uneasy. Forcing a smile, she said, "Thank you.""We must find Joey as soon as possible. Tobias is accusing Joywell, and now Joey is missing. This isn't just Tobias making things up to avoid blame. I suspect someone is plotting against Joey and me. I'm worried she's in danger.""Just focus on recovering at home. I'll han

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Joey said.Willow, who had been anxious for two days, finally relaxed. She sighed in relief and said, "You scared me to death! Mr. Evans, the police and Theodore's people have been looking for you for days. Where have you been?""It's a long story. Where are you now?""I'm at Bassett Corporation. Today, Bassett Corporation and Joywell held a joint press conference. By the way, did you know that the fire case has been resolved? Tobias has confessed. Now that you're back safely, everything's fine."Willow couldn't hide her excitement."I saw the police statement, but Willow, tell me the truth. Was it really all Tobias' doing?""What do you mean by that?" Willow asked as she was confused."You don't know?"Willow was even more perplexed. She said, "Joey, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all. Is there something I should know?"There was a pause before Joey spoke again. "Last night, Tobias' younger brother suddenly went abroad to study."W

Theodore's face was ashen, and his voice was intimidating. "Say that again."Willow remained unfazed. She continued to provoke him, "We are not from the same world. I respect your concerns, but I can't compromise my principles. Let's try to understand each other."Before she could finish speaking, Theodore's grip tightened, making her feel like her arm was about to be crushed. She gasped in pain, "What are you doing?"With a loud "bang", Willow's back was slammed against the door, and the loud noise caused by her scream could be heard from outside.Clark knocked on the door and asked, "Mr. Bassett, what's going on?"Willow's back felt like it was splitting open as waves of pain radiated from her lower abdomen. She suddenly realized something and weakly grabbed Theodore's clothes. She said weakly, "Theodore…""Is breaking up that easy for you?" Theodore was furious. He roughly grabbed Willow's shoulders and asked, "What do I mean to you?"Willow felt increasingly dizzy, and she

Due to the winter, there was a thin layer of frost outside.In the brightly lit Bassett Residence, Sara was still awake. She was listening intently on the phone, her face stern."Yes. Keep an eye on her. Don't let her leave the hospital."After hanging up, Sara frowned tightly. She said, "Theodore has already found a way to absolve her company of any guilt, but she still insists on making a fuss. What good does it do her to blow things up like this? She's such a malicious woman!""Well, in her eyes, Hailey is the real culprit.""The real culprit?" Sara asked as she shot Ellie a cold look.Ellie quickly corrected herself, "I mean, since we always hoped Hailey would marry Theodore, she's seizing this opportunity to ruin Hailey. She thought it would make it easier for her to marry into our family.""Dream on! If she wasn't pregnant with Theodore's child, I would've thrown her out of Emperia long ago rather than give her this special treatment."Sara, who had been a young widow, ha
