Sandra looked at Willow expressionlessly and said, “Come into my


    office.”


    Willow started panicking again. The secretary sighed. “Go on in. I’ll be


    out here. Improve your attitude and correct your mistakes promptly if


    you’ve made any!”


    Willow tugged at the secretary’s arm, saying, “Lily, pleasee in


    with me. I’m scared…”


    The secretary broke free from Willow’s grip and replied somewhat


    helplessly, “Think about how much effort Ms. Wade has put in for


    you. She’s not even married yet, and what’s the reason for that?”


    After saying this, the secretary walked away without looking back.


    Willow stood there in a daze.


    She knew that the Inspection and Legal Departments had co


    her. She recently did some inappropriate things without telling


    Sandra, but she only did it to earn more money and ease Sandra’s


    burden.


    Uneasiness taking over her, Willow entered Sandra’s office.


    Sandra sat on the sofa with her arms crossed. The usually doting gaze she would direct at Willow was


    now icy and devoid of any


    emotion.


    Willow closed the office door and said nervously, “Aunt…”


    “Why did you close the door? Worried about losing your dignity?”


    Sandra’s eyes were full of disappointment.

    Her sister had died due to difficult childbirth while her brother-inw


    had silently disappeared overnight.


    Sandra sighed, her disappointment palpable. She had raised Willow


    up on her own, guiding her through every step of the way. In the years


    she was abroad, no one was around to discipline Willow, and she ended up straying down the wrong


    path. She even ended up in a


    detention center.


    When Sandra received the news, she immediately returned to the


    country and stayed by her side. In the three years she spent in


    Capiton, she had bought Willow a house and a car. She even introduced her to the outstanding young


    talents in thepany.


    However, Willow was yful, so she was reluctant to settle down and


    have kids at her young age.


    When Sandra considered how young Willow was, she gave

    to focus on her personal matters once Willow had met life


    checkpoints.


    Sandra had put in so much effort on Willow, and now, she was


    causing trouble.


    Thinking about her disappointment and the efforts she had put in


    raising Willow, Sandra’s heart hit rock bottom.


    “Aunt, I..” Willow wanted to confess but was afraid of implicating her


    aunt.


    After a moment of contemtion, she whispered, “I’ll go talk to them.”

    As she turned to leave, Sandra sternly admonished her, “Youe


    back here.”:


    Hearing her aunt’s harsh reprimand, Willow’s hand that was on the


    doorknob trembled. She was feeling a mix of fear and remorse.


    Sandra had never once gotten angry with her. Even when Willow got


    drunk and injured someone, leading to her detention, her aunt


    tirelessly sought forgiveness from the victim’s family.


    Willow could tell she was genuinely angry this time.


    “Who does the deed shall bear the consequences. If you had nothing.


    to do with those matters, they wouldn’t havee looking for you!”


    “Aunt, I’m sorry,” Willow apologized as she choked back on her tears.


    She then quickly opened the door and hurried away.


    Filled with disappointment, Sandra slowly closed her eyes as tears


    came streaming down.


    She went to her desk, found Frankie’s number in the directo

    Meanwhile, in Purchasing Department 2, Queenie was chattingughing with several close colleagues.


    At that moment, her secret walked in and said, “Queenie, there’s trouble in Purchasing


    Department 1!”


    The room fell silent.


    Queenie smiled and asked, “What happened?”
