"What the others say? It's made the news! I was curious how you managed to secure all the business deals. Is this how you go about it? Son, can't you see the true colors of this vixen?" Gina barked.Willow was struck by the humiliation. Stephanie chimed in to fan the flames, "Willow, how can you be so immoral? How could you do this to my brother? He's treated you very well and listened to you. Your action is a slap in our face. Oh, my poor brother!"Willow clenched her fists, asking, "What exactly did I do?""Are you still denying? The reporters are in front of our house! We wouldn't have learned about the affair had the reporters not gone after Theodore Bassett, thanks to his fame!"Willow had never gotten along with Stephanie. Stephanie, thinking she was born to wealth, looked down on Willow, who came from a lower-class family. Now that she had something to taunt Willow with, she'd make full use of it.Willow refused to engage with her and cast a glance at Quentin, who was beh

The TV screen in the Strand Villa flickered and switched off.Quentin was ashen-faced. Earlier, he had been sure that there was nothing between Theodore and Willow because a rich man like Theodore would never be interested in an unpolished, married woman, especially when women were lining up for him.However, Theodore's appearance on the livestream proved Quentin wrong.Gina bellowed, "You shameless bitch!"She slapped Willow across the face, and the sound echoed in the living room, breaking the silence.Willow fell onto the ground and pressed on her cheeks as she stared at Gina in disbelief.Seeing that Gina was enraged, Stephanie spoke without reservations to add fuel to the fire. "What more can you say when your lover has come all the way to our home?"In the chaos, Willow shot Quentin a glance. Her husband, whom she had insisted on marrying against all odds, did not speak up for her at all.She soon accepted the fact. Even though it was Quentin who had cheated on her in the

Even Willow was stunned by Theodore's statement. Theodore warned, "I do not like to repeat myself."Snapping back to reality, Quentin hissed, "You two … You … really …"Despite his best efforts, he could not bring himself to openly accuse Theodore and Willow of an affair. Any man, even one who did not love his wife, would never accept being cuckolded as it would bruise his ego.Quentin's face turned green with jealousy. Gina finally comprehended the situation and spat, "The audacity to show up after what you've done! This is beyond ridiculous. What have our family done to deserve such humiliation?"The humiliating words stung Willow. She attempted to confront Gina but was held back by Theodore. He instructed Clark, "Clark, bring Willow to the car."Clark politely addressed Willow, saying, "Ms. Jett, after you."Willow immediately left because she did not want to engage further with the Strands. When she left, Quentin visibly panicked and growled, "What do you take us as?"Utte

Theodore questioned, "Are the news taken down?""Yes, all media outlets took down their news, including trending topics on social media. I believe the news would die down before tonight."Theodore nodded and tapped his fingers on the photo.On the night the photo was taken, Quentin was sleeping with Sonia, so that eliminated Sonia from the suspect list. Who else could it be?…The sky was getting dark. Quentin drove to Sonia's apartment downtown, which he had rented for her.He recalled the first time he brought her to the new apartment. When he closed the door, she immediately threw herself at him with great enthusiasm, drowning him in her tenderness.Sonia offered him absolute obedience that he could never seek from Willow, which boosted his ego.She wondered, "Why did you ask me to take leave? Did something happen?""Nothing. I just missed you." Quentin immediately pinned Sonia on the bed, desperate to release his anger and anxiety.Although she was surprised by his action

It was past the clock-in time in the morning at Strand Real Estate. The two young staff at the front desk were eagerly discussing the gossip from the company group chat when they overheard the clicking of heels nearing.One of them noticed Willow from the corner of her eye and quickly put her phone face down on the desk. She shot up and greeted Willow, "Good morning, Ms. Jett."Willow showed up in an imposing manner. She was dressed in a peach-colored pantsuit, her neck adorned with a Burberry silk scarf, accentuating the charm and sassiness of a career woman.She walked past the front desk and entered the elevator. The front desk staff finally collected themselves and made an internal call. "Hello? Darren, Ms. Jett is in the company. She's headed toward the HR Department!"The staff assumed she was going to the HR Department because she headed to the 12th floor. When the elevator door slid open, Willow stepped foot into the HR Department with a sour face.Darren Foster, the HR m

Meanwhile, Sonia was gleeful at the development of events. Since Willow's reputation suffered, everyone would sympathize with Quentin and wouldn't say a thing if he married Sonia.Sonia added, "Willow, you can always admit to your mistake and change for the better. Quent didn't blame you at all, did he? You should apologize to him rather than make a scene."Willow rolled her fists and snapped at Sonia, "Do you think you have the right to speak now?"Quentin quickly shielded the shuddering Sonia and schooled Willow, saying, "Willow, you can throw a tantrum at home if you want to. Why would you vent your anger on Sonia? This isn't appropriate behavior at work. Things are embarrassing enough for us.""You're not even ashamed when you cheated on me. So, what am I ashamed of?""What nonsense is that?" Quentin's face fell, and Sonia trembled."You're forcing my hand," Willow remarked and, taking a deep breath, played a video on her phone. "Take a good look. Are you the man in this vide

At Baker & Associates, a good-looking man served Willow tea. He said, "You must have waited for a while. I lost track of time because I had a meeting in the morning.""It's fine." Willow leaned back into the couch with a tense expression. "Matthew, what are the chances of me winning the case?""Do you mean the divorce or the property settlement lawsuit?""Aren't they the same?""They are separate cases," Matthew Evans explained while looking through the documents of Willow's lawsuit. "You can divorce Quentin Strand, no problem. But when it comes to property settlement, there's no law stating that the cheater will walk away empty-handed. The most you'll get is some financial compensation, but I'll try to fight for as much as you can get."Willow did not intend to go to the extreme. She explained, "I just want half of the assets, which is what I deserve.""Don't worry. Everything will be fine if I'm in charge.""Thanks a lot.""Don't mention it."Willow beamed. "True. We've know

Willow stumbled onto the floor. She raised her head again when she saw the feet of a man in leather shoes. Her eyes traveled up the neatly-ironed pants. She gasped when she saw the man. "Quentin Strand, how dare you abduct me?"Quentin crouched in front of her and flicked away the dust on her shoulder. She immediately swatted his hand away with a look of disgust. "Don't touch me! You're filthy!""Am I filthy?" He stared at her coldly. "Do you think you're any better? I know why Mr. Bassett would work with you. Have I called you filthy for cheating on me?"She scrambled up from the ground and chuckled. "Fine. If we think of each other as filthy, we should divorce and live our lives separately.""I am cool with the divorce, but you shouldn't dream of claiming company shares or snatching our clients!""Why can't I? Don't you know who is behind the company's success? Quentin, have some conscience.""Conscience is worth nothing," Sonia spoke.She emerged from behind Quentin and held
