Chapter 141 The Trap

“Isn’t this method a little too old–fashioned? Besides, Willow would totally hate me for life i

did this to make her mine.

“She would also terminate all contracts between my family and Southlake Corporation,”

Nicholas said rather awkwardly.

At first, he thought that Alicia had a grand plan. This method had also crossed his mind

before, but he felt that it was too risky and decided to drop it.

“Nicholas, think about it. We only have to achieve our goal.

“Reputation is everything for an attractive woman like my sister. You’d just have to wait

for her to pass out and snap a few pictures and videos.

“Then, you get to use it as blackmail. She’d have no choice but to play by your rules.

“As for the contracts with Southlake Corporation, just use these pictures against her. You’d

have her wrapped around your little finger,” Alicia said with a smirk.

Nicholas finally saw the full picture. This method might be risky, but it would undoubtedly

be fruitful if they were to succeed.

At the end of this plan, Willow would’ve been ravaged by him. On top of that, he got to use

it against her indefinitely.

Nicholas couldn’t believe Alicia could be this evil. She wouldn’t even spare her own cousin.

Richard had been eavesdropping the entire time. After hearing everything, he wanted to

join in on their plan. However, now that he was Alicia’s husband, it meant that these

matters no longer concerned him..

“Alicia, you truly are something! Even your cousin can’t escape your vicious claws!”

Richard said as he gave her a thumbs up.

Even if he couldn’t make Willow his, to have her cooperate with the Hudson family was

beneficial enough to him.

“Richard, what are you trying to say? Is that a compliment, or are you telling me off?”

Alicia

fumed.

“Of course it’s a compliment! This is a genius plan! Not only would it benefit Nicholas, but

it would also help restore our families‘ partnerships with Southlake Corporation!” Richard

laughed.

Alicia planned to help Nicholas so that she could destroy Willow and Caspian. Whenever

she recalled how the two stole the spotlight at her wedding ceremony, she would become

angry.

Alicia knew what kind of person Willow was. As someone who valued her reputation, she

would definitely keep it to herself if Nicholas took advantage of her.

As long as Alicia kept Willow on a tight rein, she could subject Willow to her demands like a

slave!

“It’s set. Invite Willow over to Silverstone Hotel. It’s owned by my family.

“Since it’s on my home turf, everything will be a breeze,” Nicholas said excitedly.

He even wished that they could carry the plan out right away.

“You got it. As for spiking her drink, you’d have to do it yourself,” Alicia said.

By doing this, she could have an escape plan. Even if the plan was foolproof, she didn’t

want to risk her own life.

“That goes without saying. Let’s just do it tonight. I can’t wait anymore,” Nicholas said as

he rubbed his palms together in anticipation.

In the director’s office of Southlake Corporation, Willow was organizing documents. Her

phone started ringing.

She paused to look at the screen. It was her cousin, Alicia.

Willow hesitated for a moment. They had never seen eye to eye with each other and had

never really contacted each other. Could it be that she needed Willow’s help and was

calling her now?

After giving it a thought, Willow answered the call.

“Yes?” Willow asked indifferently.

“Hey, Willow, I just wanted to give you a call,” Alicia said in a sweet tone.

This tone of hers gave Willow the goosebumps.

Alicia had never been this affectionate with her before.

“If you don’t have anything to say, I’m going to hang up,” Willow didn’t want to waste her

time on Alicia.

“No, don’t hang up yet. I feel like it’s been quite a while since we’ve gone out for a meal.

Do you have time tonight? My treat.” Alicia jumped straight to the point when she thought

that Willow was going to hang up the phone.

Alicia wanted to take her out to dinner?

This confused Willow éven more. Why did Alicia want to buy her a meal all of a sudden?

+15 BONUS

Willow felt that something was off as Alicia had never done this before. She decided to

play. along and not poke further.

“I have plans tonight. You’ll have to eat on your own,” Willow said nonchalantly.

“Willow, I know that I used to be stubborn and childish. I’ve also made you mad a couple

times.

“Now that I’ve become someone’s wife, I’ve looked back on the past and realized how

many silly things I’ve done.

“No matter what happens, I feel that our bond as cousins is the most important thing,”

Alicia

said.

“Do you really think so?” Willow asked. She felt touched after hearing what she had to say.

It also made sense.

“Of course! But could you come by yourself without bringing Caspian? We’re still a little

awkward with each other.

“Today is our sisterly bonding time. Let’s have a heart–to–heart talk,” Alicia said.

“I understand. Just text me the location of the restaurant. I’ll finish up here and head over

as soon as I can,” Willow said.

Even though Alicia had always been at odds with her, they were still family.

Considering how Alicia has taken the initiative to apologize, Willow felt that she should

give

her a chance.

There were still many more years ahead of them. They couldn’t possibly let this go on

forever and live as each other’s enemy.

Willow received the text message instantly.

She saw the address. It was the Silverstone Hotel.

Willow called Caspian and told him she wouldn’t be home for dinner.

Caspian was still at Southlake Hospital. He was busy watching Avon’s procedure and didn’t

think much about it..

Willow headed toward Silverstone Hotel like a lamb to the slaughter.

After parking her car, she headed straight for the

had booked.

Vate room on the third floor, which Alicia

Alicia, Richard, and Nicholas had been waiting for Willow for quite some time.

The moment Willow walked into the room, she froze on the spot.

Alicia had clearly said this was a meal between the two of them, so why did she bring her

husband and Nicholas along?

“Alicia, didn’t you say there’d only be the two of us tonight?” Willow asked, displeased.

Seeing Nicholas made her want to leave right away.

It would’ve been understandable if she had only brought Richard along. Being in the same

room as Nicholas was unbearable.

This person had been bothering her for some time now.

“After Richard and I arrived, we bumped into Nicholas. This hotel belongs to his family.”

Alicia scrambled for an explanation.

“Ms. Stewart, we could still be friends, right? Now that the three of you are here as guests,

it’s only right that I be the one to treat you all to a meal.

“Let’s just put the past behind us,” Nicholas said.

“See, Nicholas has already offered to make peace. And he’s right.” Alicia hurried forward

to grab Willow’s arm. She was afraid that Willow might just leave.

Willow had no choice. Now that she was already here, she could only give in to their

request and stay for the meal.

With so many people present, Nicholas wouldn’t dare to try anything shady.

Willow took a seat next to Alicia.

Nicholas became visibly excited when he saw that their plan was slowly taking place.

He rushed the waitstaff to start serving the food.

He was eagerly anticipating their next agenda.
