"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

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

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

"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

"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
