Once the wedding date was set, both mothers were thrown into a whirlwind of activity. The arrangements for the venue, hotel banquet, invitations, and all sorts of other details were overwhelming.Willow just happened to glance at the living room as she passed by, and the chaotic scene made her head spin. She had hoped to keep everything simple, but both mothers were determined to plan a grand affair.Feeling helpless, Willow turned to the other key person in the wedding for support. Unfortunately, not only did she not get any, but her suggestion was also rejected."This is our only wedding, so it should be as grand as possible."Willow didn't know what possessed her to bring up the one thing she shouldn't have. "But this is my second marriage."As soon as she said it, she instantly regretted it so much. She knew all too well that Theodore had a particular sensitivity about her previous marriage to the Strand family.As expected, Theodore, who had been lounging on the sofa with a

Evening fell as Willow returned to her apartment."Theodore didn't come back with you? I made his favorite dish, braised ribs."Helen untied her apron and set it aside. With a beaming smile, she said, "Willow, my dear daughter, it seems your hardships are finally over. You'll have nothing to worry about once you marry into the Bassett family. Even Cedar and I will benefit from it."Lounging on the sofa, Cedar immediately put on his headphones and pretended not to hear a word as Helen continued to nag."When you and Theodore get married, you should have a child as soon as possible to secure your position. Your mother-in-law seems nice enough, but remember, time reveals a person's true colors, so stay on guard...""Mom," Willow interrupted as she got impatient. "Just take care of yourself, and that would already be a huge relief for me.""What do you mean by that?""You think I've forgotten about the trouble you caused? Do you know how much Theodore had to pay off because of your

The house was enormous, and the housekeeper led Willow through several doors before finally stopping. "Mr. Finley is inside," the housekeeper said, pushing open the door and stepping aside.Inside was an indoor pool, and the moment the door opened, the pounding rhythm of electronic dance music hit her. Colorful balloons were floating everywhere, and men and women were laughing together, enjoying the party. A DJ was in the corner, mixing tracks and controlling the lights. Finley had gone off the grid to throw a pool party. Willow's hand tightened into a fist at her side. As she stepped into the room, her three-inch heels clicked sharply on the floor."Finley!"A man on the sofa, surrounded by beautiful women, turned his head at the sound of his name. His features were even more striking than in his photos, yet there was little resemblance to Theodore. Those flirtatious eyes were nothing like Theodore's cool, distant demeanor."Who are you?" A woman dressed in Chanel haute co

Although Finley's expression was filled with reluctance, he eventually changed his clothes and came out. Willow was still on the phone. She said, "No need, I've got this handled.""Alright."After she hung up, Finley walked over with his hands behind his back. He asked, "Who were you on the phone with? Was it Theodore?" Willow pretended she didn't know anything. She asked, "Who's Theodore?" "Don't play dumb. Everyone knows what's going on. Did you run and tattle to my brother?""I don't have the time to waste on snitching over something so trivial.""Even if you did, it wouldn't work. My brother always takes my side. It's just a waste of time."Willow glanced at him but said nothing. "Get in the car."After dropping Finley off at the filming location, the rest of the afternoon turned into an exhausting ordeal because he kept coming up with excuses.For example, he was thirsty, hungry, or tired. He always found a reason not to cooperate.By the time they finally finishe

Back at Bassett Residence, Sara would occasionally be willing to step out of her private chapel ever since Finley returned, "Is Finley not busy with work these days? He's been home quite a bit lately," Sara asked.At that moment she enjoyed a rare moment of sunlight in the garden outside the chapel, while Ellie massaged her shoulders.Ellie hesitated for a moment at the question. "What's work compared to family? Finley's always been family-oriented, as you know. Even though you sent him abroad when he was young, he's always kept our family close to his heart."Sara gave a slight nod as she was pleased with Finley's sense of duty.David, who stood nearby, couldn't help but chime in, "Ma'am, why keep this from her? If you don't say something soon, Mr. Finley might end up always staying home.""Silence." Sara sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's going on?"David immediately answered, "It's Mr. Theodore. He suspended all of Finley's work.""Why?""Because Finley upset
