All too late for his love
Chapter 292

Chapter 292

"Exactly! Her behavior is disgusting! She depicted Willow as someone relying on some twisted sugar daddy for money and wrongly accused her of theft. She's trying to ruin a person's life."

"And she even presents herself as someone having integrity! It's all just a sham!"

"No! It's not what you think!" Janet exclaimed, shaking her head vehemently.

She felt utterly powerless on her own as she had acted under Wilhelmina's orders. She could only turn to Wilhelmina for help.

Fearing that Janet might expose her involvement, Wilhelmina shot her a warning glance and took action preemptively.

"Janet, you've truly let me down! How could you do this to Willow? Do you realize that your actions could devastate Willow's life?" Wilhelmina pretended to be indignant as she added, "You've gone too far this time, Janet!"

"..." Janet began, eager to defend herself.

However, she opted for silence upon noticing the caution in Wilhelmina's gaze.

If Janet maintained Wilhelmina's secret, there might still be hope for Janet to fix the situation with Matthew's support for Wilhelmina.

However, revealing Wilhelmina's involvement wouldn't help Janet from clearing her own name as she was already recorded framing Willow. Additionally, it would deeply offend Wilhelmina, ruining any chance of rectifying the situation.

Janet was determined to turn things around. Thus, she was willing to shoulder the blame for Wilhelmina temporarily.

"Willow, I'm sorry. I was jealous of your beauty and saw you as my biggest competitor. That's why I hoped you would fail your audition," Janet apologized, her head bowed in sincere remorse. "Please, Willow. I'm begging for your forgiveness. Can you replace it in your heart to forgive me, just this once?"

Willow wasn't surprised when she noticed the footage didn't reveal Wilhelmina or Skyler placing those items in her bag. They were far too crafty to engage in such tricks themselves.

Although a bit disheartened, Willow remained confident that she would eventually bring Wilhelmina and Skyler down and ensure they would never recover from their downfall.

Skyler and the others would never leave Aaron in peace as long as he was alive. To ensure Aaron's future safety and peace, Willow needed to ensure they had no further opportunities to cause harm. Meanwhile, Duncan had intended to stir up trouble. Yet, after watching the LCD screen, he quickly ducked

under a nearby table with his tail between his legs. He feared facing lan's severe confrontation.

However, lan was too occupied to confront Duncan. He was confident that Eric would deal with Duncan

later.

lan's current priority was getting Matthew to apologize to Willow. He couldn't quite explain why this matter was so important to him, but witnessing Willow mistreated made him deeply upset.

He tore his gaze away from the LCD screen, his brows knit together in a deep frown.

"Mr. Mayer, isn't it time you fulfilled your promise and apologized to Willow?" he demanded.

Matthew's expression grew grim, but he wasn't one to avoid owning up to his actions. He arched an eyebrow, his gaze locked onto Willow.

As he looked upon her naturally captivating features, memories of the excruciating pain he had felt a month ago upon hearing of Willow's supposed death came rushing back. He realized how foolish he had been at the sight of her standing before him at that moment.

Willow couldn't care less about him.

Matthew's lips parted slightly, and his tone turned unwittingly icy cold.

"Willow, I'm sorry," he stated, though his apology dripped with

and a hint of disdain.

Willow felt deeply grateful to lan. Without his help, she wouldn't have been able to

Ignoring Matthew, Willow turned to lan and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Nightingale!"

"Do you truly want to thank me?"

lan's question came unexpectedly.
