Hearing those words, Dominic understood that Willow had made up her mind. She was determined to leave.

But he couldn’t help but ask, “What about Julian? You don’t want him either?”

Willow lowered her gaze and replied, “It depends on him. Whenever he’s willing to let go, we’ll get divorced.”

She made it clear, and Dominic was disheartened.

But he didn’t me her. Right from the start, she was wless. It was Julian who had wronged her!

Dominic pulled himself together and forced a smile. “Why don’t you take another look? There are other men in the Ziegler family. Maybe you’ll find someone you like.”

Willow let out a helplessugh. “Grandpa!”

Dominic sighed sadly. “I can’t bear to let you go.”

Willow didn’t want to leave as well.

She hade from a lonely background, raised and nurtured by only her grandmother.

During her time in the Ziegler family, Dominic was one of the few sources of warmth in her life.

There was no way she could ever repay his kindness.

Willow stood up and poured him some tea.

The first cup was to thank him for his four years of guidance.

The second cup was for his patience and understanding.

The third cup was to honor their bond. She might not have been his granddaughter, but he had treated her better than one.

She shook her hand firmly and said, “Grandpa, I wish you health, happiness, and peace for many years toe.”

Dominic couldn’t hold back anymore.

For an elderly man who had weathered countless storms, he was moved to tears. He waved his hand and said hoarsely, “That’s enough.”

Dominic finished the tea and reached into his pocket. He took out an envelope and handed it to Willow.

“No one else is getting this.”

Only Willow, the granddaughter–inw he had truly approved of.

Willow clutched the envelope tightly, tears in her beyes/bb. /b“Thank you, Grandpa.”

She didn’t linger for longb, /bslowly leaving the study.

At the doorb, /bshe unexpectedly ran into Dexter.

Dexter had heard the newsb, /bhis expressionplex. When he saw Willow, bhe /bcouldn’t help but sneer, b“/bYou and Julian are quite the couple.

“What a show you two put on. Was Catherine an actress you two hired? This little show of yours made you 30 billion dors. What a bargain!”

Before Willow could respond, Dominic’s voice boomed from inside the study.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Dexter rubbed his nose and entered the study.

In the study, Dominic was talking to one of his trusted aides, shaking his head as he spoke.

“Julian’s wife is truly unique. She’s graciousb, /bgenerous, andposed. None of my children and grandchildren canpare.”

Dexter huffed, “Grandpa, you’re more generous than herb, /bgiving away your sharesb./bb” /b

Dominic let out ba /bbcold /bchuckle. “She didn’t want them.”

Dexter was baffled. How could it be? How could Willow not want the sharesb? /b

Dominic sat down slowly and let out a long sigh. “Back then, she married into this family for Julian.

“And now, she’s leaving because of him. She never cared about the Ziegler family’s wealth and power.”

Dexter said nonchntly, “Then, it must be for Julian.”

He might have sounded indifferent, but deep down, he felt ufortable.

He even felt a tinge of jealousy.

Why did Julian always get the best of everything?

The control of Neb Group, as well as Willow’s love…
