The next day, Willow received a call from Quentin."You haven't forgotten about the project meeting today, have you?""Haven't you already handed the project over to Sonia?"On the other end of the line, Quentin gritted his teeth as he said, "Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know? The amended project agreement from Bassett Corporation clearly states that they will only acknowledge this project if you manage it. They will not accept a change in personnel.""Oh? Then change to another project.""Is there any point in saying that now? Don't forget that you're also a shareholder of Strand Real Estate. Will ruining it do you any good?"Quentin's tone was harsh, but he could not hide the worry in his voice. Willow knew him too well. He would never have called her if he had any other choice. It must have been pressure exerted by the collaborating party. Willow said coldly, "I can attend the project meeting, but I have one condition.""Go ahead.""There has to

In the office, someone had grabbed Sonia by the hair and was slapping her violently."Mom!"Willow's expression changed, and she hurriedly rushed to pull them apart. "Mom, what are you doing here?"It was Helen. "You shameless slut! My daughter trained you to be her secretary, but you climbed into my son-in-law's bed! You're just a classless lowlife!"Someone helped Sonia up. Her clothes were torn, and there were red scratches on her face. She clutched her face and stomped her foot in shame and anger."What do you mean by that? Quent and I being together isn't a one-sided thing! It was a mutual decision, and your daughter got cheated on because she's old and undesired by men!""How dare you speak such nonsense! I'll tear your face apart!""Mom." Willow grabbed her mother. "Stop it.""Don't be such a coward! She's already at your doorstep, and you're going to get divorced! You were keeping it a secret from me! Don't try to stop me!"Helen refused to listen to Willow. "What'

Willow said, "What's the use of saying that now?""Willow, do you really want to get divorced?" asked Helen. "Yep.""Why don't you reconsider? I think Quentin still has feelings for you, and no riff-raffriff raff outside can compare. Besides, if you get divorced, how are you going to live by yourself? This isn't a joke."Willow was impatient. "Mom, I can decide for myself. Please don't interfere.""Can't I just give a suggestion?""You should go home."Willow tried to hail a cab to send Helen home. It wasn't easy to get a cab here, but a black car stopped in front of them after a while, and the back seat window rolled down. Theodore's handsome face appeared in the car. "Where are you heading, Mrs. Jett? I'll give you a ride.""It's okay." Willow refused without thinking. "I'm asking Mrs. Jett." Theodore nodded at Helen. "It's pretty hot today, isn't it?"Helen was plump, and she was already sweating profusely from standing under the sun with Willow. When she heard him,

The court session was set for Friday. On the day of the court session, Matthew met Willow in advance. "If they really decide to make the driver the scapegoat, then we won't be able to threaten them with the material that we currently have. They may say that the assets of Strand Real Estate are all premarital property. The situation doesn't look good.""If that's the case, then what should we do?""If that really is the case, we can appeal to the court to investigate Quentin and even the entire Strand family. We have reason to believe that he transferred marital property. However, if we do so, this lawsuit will be dragged out for a long time.""How long?""The shortest time will be three to five months; at the longest, it will be one or two years. It's hard to say."Willow frowned, and she clenched her fist involuntarily. She had been too naïve. She had handed over all her property to Quentin for safekeeping during their marriage, and she didn't have much money in her account

Theodore's gaze swept coldly over Hailey. "What did Grandma ask you to send over?"Hailey gritted her teeth but maintained her smile while looking at Theodore. She raised the lunchbox in her hand. "Grandma's worried you're not eating well, so she asked me to send you lunch.""Leave it."Hailey took a deep breath and she started opening the lunchboxes one by one in front of Willow. "Theo, these are all made according to your taste. Especially this soup—Grandma taught me how to make it. Try it!""Really? Then I should try it."Hailey didn't even have time to be happy. Theodore stuffed a fork and knife into Willow's hands right before Hailey. "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Have some."Willow was shocked, and so was Hailey. When the secretary in the doorway saw this scene, he slowly backed away, eager to avoid the bloodbath. Willow's lips twitched. "It's fine, I'm busy. I …""Theo wants you to try it, so try it. I made a lot, anyway." Hailey pretended to be generous, and
