Julian didn't want to let her go.Willow looked as though she was one touch away from shattering as she questioned Julian sharply, "I got slapped, my grandmother nearly died, and Jeffrey is now partially deaf. "Julian, do you think I'll ever reconsider mending our relationship? You'll only seek me out when you need something, but when everything's over? Well, you'll promptly toss me aside like yesterday's trash. "You were never there when I needed you. Plus, any affection you gave had always been a calculated act. Why do you think I'll still want you after all that, Julian?"Julian had nothing to say in his defense because Willow was right. He had let Willow down, hurting her over and over again. However, he was now ready to make it right.Julian, who had always been prideful, sounded meek as he asked meekly, "Will you only return to my side if Jeffrey's ear gets better? Will you reconsider me if I promise to treat you well?""Return to your side?" Willow slowly turned to look

Willow bid the Gibson siblings goodbye at 9:30 pm.The gray Rolls-Royce Ghost gradually disappeared from her line of sight. Willow stood there for a moment longer and was about to head back into her apartment when she heard a low voice calling out, "Willow."Willow stiffened at the voice.Then, she locked eyes with Julian as the night breeze blew.He was standing next to his black Rolls-Royce Phantom. He had donned a classic three-piece suit, looking very refined.Still, Willow could tell that Julian had lost weight and gotten more tanned since they'd had last met.A breeze swept by, carrying with it the fragrance of tuberoses. It also brought with it the lingering echoes of their past. Those memories weighed upon them, unwilling to be forgotten.It had been two months since they had last met, two months since they had torn their relationship into shreds. Yet, it felt as though it had been centuries since then.They stared at each other for a long while before Julian approached

Reporters from every corner of the city made an appearance at Brindley Court.There were so many people there that the court's entrance was one person away from absolute chaos. The cameras' flashing lights were aimed straight at a black limousine as the reporters eagerly awaited their chance to take a picture of Julian. They knew that the picture of Julian walking out of his car would definitely become the trending topic for the day.Esther, who was also in the black limousine, turned to look at Julian. "Mr. Ziegler, should we get security? The reporters are broadcasting this live. I'm afraid it'll affect your reputation."Julian straightened his suit and said dispassionately, "It's fine."The chauffeur opened the car door for him. Julian buttoned his collar and left the car, striding toward the court. The cameras' flashing lights promptly bombarded his vision."Mr. Ziegler, are you going to sign the divorce papers?""Rumors have it that you and Mrs. Ziegler have been living se

There was no way Willow would go to Yarrowmere.So, she promptly hung up on Julian.After a beat, she stared at the phone in her hands as her mind raced a mile a minute. Julian wasn't serious when he said he agreed to the divorce. He only chose to let her go free as a temporary means to keep her in check. The touching speech he gave in court was merely an act.He truly was a fantastic actor.…Willow went to the Ziegler residence that evening.The sunset painted the sky with swaths of breathtaking colors. The two rows of Faeria's sycamore trees in the Ziegler residence stood tall, their branches lush and vibrant as they were bathed in a soft golden glow.Sebastian came to greet Willow at the door, saying respectfully, "Mr. Ziegler Senior has gone fishing with his friends. I'm afraid he won't be back tonight. However, Mr. Liam is at home. Would you like to meet him?"Based on his words, it was evident he was Liam's mouthpiece.Willow considered her options and eventually agreed

Willow didn't leave for Yarrowmere.She knew Julian far too well. He did all those things and was lying in wait for her. Then, he was going to take his time bending her to his will.Yet, Gibson Group was in dire straits.Willow received a call. Jeffrey's mother, Dorothy, had invited her for coffee.Although the Gibson family was in financial trouble, Dorothy still dressed herself to the nines for a simple meeting.She was practically dripping with branded goods and sparkling jewelry.Willow and Dorothy made themselves comfortable in a high-end cafe. Willow looked at the wealthy but weary-looking lady across from her, well aware that the other woman was most definitely going to spew some harsh words. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to show up.As expected, Dorothy stirred her coffee and said snootily, "I never objected to your friendship with Jeffrey in the past because you were Julian's wife. I had assumed that Jeffrey would know where to draw the line. I didn't blame you w
