Chapter 89: You’re Just a Wild Dog Looking Up at the Moon
Months ago, Willow had been a grain of rice clinging to his clothes; he’d brushed her away. During their divorce, he’d given her nothing, believing she and Lily would struggle without his protection, returning to him, tail–wagging, begging for scraps.
How had he lost the ability to dictate terms to her in just a few months?It was absurd, laughable. He was the CEO of Caldwell Industries, a titan of Beijing society, Willow was just enjoying a moment of triumph.
hen, Willow’s calm voice cut through.“Everyone, Fletcher and I are divorced. We are dependent individuals.I won’t associate with Caldwell.I challenge Fletcher!If he can’t leave me alone, we’ll compete. We’ll see who prevails!”
Fletcher’s breath hitched. The wife he’d ignored, treated as a parasite, was challenging him!A burning heat surged through his chest, as if molten lava had erupted within a glacier, melting his composure and self–control.
Willow ignored him, accepting business cards from the moguls surrounding her. Shane’s voice echoed behind Fletcher.“Isn’t the moon particularly bright tonight?”
Fletcher spun around, wary of the cunning man who often played a role for Willow.Shane’s lips were stained crimson, the blood adding a morbid beauty to his already striking features.,

“Sweetie, why are you running? I won’t hurt you!” Serena said, her eyes filled with malice.She enjoyed the chase.
Wen Yisan, seeing Serena approach, trembled.“Don’t come near me!”
Her fear thrilled Serena. This provocative woman, feigning vulnerability in front of Fletcher, deserved
a lesson.
Wen Yisan had backed herself into a corner on the balcony.Though on the first floor, the balcony was elevated, two meters above ground. A fall wouldn’t kill her, at worst a broken leg, but this

Thinking of Willow, Wen Yisan’s eyes turned cold.She whispered, “Don’t come near me! I beg you!!”
Serena closed in.“Sweetie, don’t be afraid! I’m here to save you!“The last words were venomous.
She lunged forward, seemingly to grab Wen Yisan, who was perched on the railing.But Serena didn’t stop
her momentum.
Wen Yisan, sitting on the railing, revealed a shard of glass she’d been holding.Security was tight; she couldn’t bring a weapon.She’d chosen the sharpest piece from the broken glasses. She would

avenge Willow.Even if Serena was punished by law, it wouldn’t be enough.They would together.
Wen Yisan raised her hand, the shard aimed at Serena’s neck.
