All too late for his love

She could tell that she had been thrown into the boot of a car. The car was speeding on a bumpy road, which made her feel as though her organs were about to fall out.

The fear of the unknown was especially terrifying.

She was sure she hadn't offended Matthew recently. The only possibility was that Wilhelmina had come up with a plan to make Matthew take action against her.

Just as she had expected, she was brought to the Lakecoast Villa. The second she saw Matthew, he grabbed her collar.

"Willow, who let you hire someone to ram into Willa like that? Willow, you deserve to die!"

Hired someone to bang into Willa to kill her?

Willow thought that Wilhelmina and Skyler were best friends for a reason. Their methods of framing others were carved out of the same mold.

Four years ago, Skyler hired someone to cause Zayn's accident. However, she blamed Willow for it.

They were best friends, thus their methods of framing were similar to each other's. They were just as malicious as each other. Wilhelmina's plan today probably had something to do with Skyler.

Once the bag was taken off her, Willow felt much better.

She didn't want to take responsibility for what she didn't do. She took a deep breath and explained, "I didn't hire any hitmen! This is Wilhelmina's one-woman show!

"I don't know why Wilhelmina keeps targeting me. However, she's nothing but an unimportant bystander to me. I would never waste my energy to hurt her.

"Matthew, let me go! Skyler is framing me. You can't fall into her trap!"

"Willa is framing you?" Matthew's soft features contorted into disgust as he said, "Willa is still in the operating room. Whether she will live or not is a question. Would she put her life on the line just to frame you? Willow, who do you think you are?"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Before Willow could respond, Matthew continued sternly. "The driver of the van who banged into Willa. has admitted it. He took your money and intentionally plunged her life into jeopardy because you told him tol

"First, you nearly caused Skyler to be riddled with permanent disability. Now, you've almost killed Willa. What has she done for you to harm her time and time again?"

"I didn't!" Willow shook her head desperately. "There's never been any conflict between us. Why would I keep hurting her?

"Matthew, please believe me. I would never do something like this! Wilhelmina is doing this on purpose.

She's inciting your pity to make you take action and turn against me! Chapter 138

"Matthew, you've always seen through these tricks. Why are you getting played by Wilhelmina?"

"So you're not going to admit it until you see the final evidence?" Matthew questioned.

His eyes were devoid of any warmth, as though they had been soaked in akedin poison. He stared a Willow, who had been thrown onto the floor. He declared, "I'll ensure you'll be silenced!"

As she spoke, Matthew slapped a few documents onto Willow's face.

The papers were all printed records of transactions. The recipient was a man called Jonathan. Clearly, that man was the one who ran into Wilhelmina.

Willow grabbed one of the papers and stared at the account number. She remembered it clearly. It was the card in which she'd saved a million inside!

She thought that once she handed the card over to Jett at the foot of Mount Embercrest, he retrieve all ave the money using an ATM. Who knew that a portion of money had been left in the card? All of it had been transferred to Jonathan.

Turns out Skyler had planned this scheme from the start. It was interlinked with a watertight project.

Looking at Willow holding onto the paper silently, Matthew chuckled coldly. He asked, "Willow, what else do you have to say?"
