<b>In </b><b>the </b>bathroom, Willow sshed <b>cold </b>water on her face<b>, </b>trying <b>to </b>cool her overheated skin.
She stared at her reflection in the mirror<b>, </b>momentarily dazed.
The woman looking <b>back </b>at her felt almost unfamiliar. Her hair was tousled, her <b>soft </b>skin was nearly glowing, and her lips were slightly swollen from Julian’s
<b>kisses</b><b>. </b>
Willow reached up and touched her <b>face</b>. Was this really her?
Since then, life at Grandview Manor turned out to be better than she had expected.
Julian had kept his promise. Willow received the 500 million dors in <b>cash</b>, along with <b>a </b><b>5</b>% stake in Neb <b>Group</b>. His decision caused an uproar within the Ziegler family. Even his parents couldn’t understand it.
But Julian bore the weight of it all.
He treated Willow well–too well. He didn’t force her <b>to </b>sleep with him<b>, </b><b>as </b>if giving her time <b>to </b>adjust.
He often called to have meals with her<b>, </b>though sometimes he would break his promises.
Willow never asked where he went or who he was <b>with</b>. Just as they had agreed from the start<b>, </b>she was here for the money and the doctor<b>, </b>not for love.
Meanwhile, Grace’s surgery n was nearly finalized.
As for her career, Willow had never put it on hold. Everything continued to move forward, <b>just </b>as she had nned.
A weekter<b>, </b>the day of Timothy’s banquet arrived.
Julian had an important meeting <b>that </b>morning<b>, </b>so he arranged for Esther to bring <b>a </b>styling team to Grandview Manor to help Willow prepare.
The Zieglers were wealthy, and the team was<b>, </b>of course<b>, </b>the best.
Upon arriving at the vi, Esther couldn’t help but feel <b>a </b><b>sense </b>of awe<b>. </b>
She hadn’t expected Willow to return to Julian’s side <b>so </b>soon. More importantly, Willow hadn’t begged <b>to </be back. Julian had paid a steep price to bring her
home<b>. </b>
A 5% stake in Neb Group <b>was </b><b>an </b>astronomical fortune. Yet, Willow didn’t seem the <b>least </b>bit <b>pleased</b>.
<b>ir </b>led the team upstairs<b>, </b>smiling as <b>they </b>walked. “Mrs. Ziegler is reading in the lounge. These days, <b>if </b>she’s <b>not </b><b>at </b><b>the </b><b>hospital</b><b>, </b>she’s here at home with her <b>books</b>. She has <b>even </b>gained <b>a </b>little weight.”
Esther mused <b>to </b><b>herself</b>. <b>It </b>seemed Willow truly no longer cared for power.
<b>ir </b>directed them to a private dressing room before heading off to inform Willow.
<b>Five </b>minutester, Willow arrived. She <b>wore </b><b>a </b><b>soft </b>pink silk <b>robe</b><b>. </b>Her hair fell <b>loosely </b>over one shoulder. She had no makeup <b>on</b><b>, </b>yet her skin was smooth and
luminous<b>. </b>
Esther immediately noticed the <b>difference</b><b>. </b>
<b>In </b><b>just </b><b>a </b>short time, Willow’s sharp edge had faded. <b>Now</b><b>, </b>she looked gentle<b>, </b>like <b>a </b><b>noblewoman </b><b>kept </b>in quiet <b>luxury</b>.
<b>However</b>, her <b>methods </b>had probably not <b>softened </b>in the slightest.
Willow smiled <b>faintly</b>.
She had <b>always </b>been <b>beautiful</b><b>, </b><b>but </b>when she smiled like that<b>, </b><b>it </b>was <b>mesmerizing</b>.
The <b>stylist </b><b>took </b>an instant liking <b>to </b>her and <b>eagerly </b><b>introduced </b>the <b>high</b><b>–</b>end <b>dresses </b>she had <b>brought</b>. <b>Among </b><b>them</b>, she <b>strongly </b><b>rmended </b><b>a </b>white evening
<b>dress</b>.
Willow’s fingers <b>brushed </b>lightly <b>over </b><b>the </b>fabric.
She had her <b>eye </b><b>on </b><b>a </b>beaded <b>dress </b><b>from </b><b>Musemarry</b><b>, </b><b>a </b>brand <b>by </b><b>a </b>rising <b>designer</b>.
It was <b>an </b><b>intricately </b>crafted <b>strapless </b>dress, <byered </b><b>with a </b><b>matching </b>sheer <b>cape</b><b>. </b>The three <b>fasteners </b><b>were </b>antique ss pearls, giving <b>it </b><b>a </b>vintage elegance <b>with </b>an ethereal touch.

She praised Willow’s beauty while styling her hair. She wove thin braids into Willow’s hair, pinning them into an elegant updo that exposed her slender neck. A touch of powder was all she needed to enhance her natural beauty.
As <b>for </b>jewelry, the stylist refused to let anything overpower the dress.
Just when Willow was admiring herself in the mirror, the door suddenly opened from the outside.
The rhythmic sound of leather shoes echoed through the room. A steady,posed, aristocratic pace.
Then, in the mirror, Julian’s reflection appeared.
His eyes deepened as he took in Willow’s beauty. Stepping behind her, he wrapped an arm around her waist without the slightest regard for the others present. ” You look good in this<b>.</b><b>” </b>
