Chapter 274
Moses was pushing 70. But being an excellent martial artist with a strict health regime, he possessed a stronger build than men far younger than him.
Naturally, it wasn’t difficult for him to rescue Willow from the burning apartment.
Willow was already passed out by the time he had reached her. If he had arrived a few minutes later, he might not have been able to revive her, no matter how skillful he was as a doctor.
There was another woman in Willow’s living room when Moses rushed in to save Willow.
The woman was the arsonist. She had left after starting the fire but returned to the apartment to swipe some valuable items.
She
had been rummaging through drawers and cabinets when the hanging lights in the living room fell on her. It pinned her to the ground, and the fire spreading through the unit cut off any means of escape.
The woman’s clothes had caught fire when Moses saw her. He wanted to save her, but he knew that doing so would put a strain on him.
If he wanted to save the woman, he might also end up trapped in the burning apartment.
As such, Moses chose only to save Willow.
Willow’s condition was so critical that not even a medical extraordinaire like Moses could cure her. The only thing he could do was to extend her lifespan.
A month later, Willow’s condition improved significantly. Moses promised she could live up to a year if she took good care of herself and avoided emotional outbursts, smoking, drinking, and spicy foods.
Willow was happy enough with the one year she had left.
In the past, she hated her failing body for not giving her the time she needed to take revenge on Skyler and the others who had tortured her.
But now, she had a year to make them pay in blood.
Skyler and the others had walked all over her in the past, but Willow would not tolerate that anymore. She would stomp on them like pests.
Looking back, Willow had stooped to amateur levels of revenge by splashing acid on Skyler and stabbing her.
Murdering someone outright was not as satisfying as making them beg for death, and this time, Willow was determined to make Skyler beg
Willow would destroy everything Skyler loved and cared about. She would make Skyler live like a street rat, scorned and abandoned. She wanted Skyler to lose everything.
The pictures of Willow that were trending on the internet had been taken by a photography enthusiast, but the effects far exceeded Willow’s expectations.
She was even more surprised to be invited to audition as Arena of Glory’s ambassador.
Willow was an Internet celebrity at most. Most A–list celebrities would kill to audition for a huge endorsement deal like this, and Willow never thought a micro–influencer like her would be invited.
When Willow showed up for the audition, she learned from the staff that Skyler was one of the
contenders.
The staff also told Willow that there was a high chance the endorsement would go to Skyler.
A corner of Willow’s mouth curled at the mention of Skyler’s name.
Skyler had stolen the Whispers of Love endorsement deal from Willow the last time. Now, it was Willow’s turn to give Skyler a taste of her own medicine. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Willow would make Skyler pay for everything she had taken from her. She wanted to have front–row seats. to Skyler’s spectacular fall from grace.
She would like to know which of them would be scorned by the public.
Willow was ready to take on Skyler in this long battle. She was determined to win.
After going through the script provided by the audition staff, Willow was on her way to the dressing room to try on the performance attire when she saw Skyler and Zayn coming her way.
Skyler clung onto Zayn’s arm and beamed like a woman in love.
Not wanting to spare the sickening couple another glance, Willow kept walking. She had only just brushed past them when Zayn suddenly grabbed her wrist.
