Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 182

"That's right, you never told me anything—I just guessed, is all."

Juliette gave Willow a knowing, slightly goofy grin, and in her heart, she was deeply impressed by Willow's decisiveness and courage.

After all, walking away from someone you've loved for years—even when they're clearly in the wrong—isn't something most people can do so cleanly. For many, it's not just about lingering attachment. Some can't let go because they're afraid of what comes next; others hold on out of resentment or simply because they can't stand to lose. Everyone has their own tangled reasons, their own threads they can't quite cut.

Juliette didn't claim to know what the "right" choice was for everyone, but one thing she was absolutely sure of: as long as it was Willow's choice, it was the right one. No debate allowed.

Why? Simple. Willow was her idol—her own Ms. STAR. Whatever Ms. STAR decided, Juliette would support her without question.

Grand Ballroom, The Regent Hotel, Northcrest

It was just past eight in the evening. The charity ball had wrapped up, and now the main event of the night was about to begin—the charity auction.

Evelyn sat front and center in the first row, paddle in hand, her earlier frustration with Lionel entirely forgotten. She was in high spirits, waiting eagerly for the item she'd had her eye on to come up for bidding.

On her left and right sat her boyfriend, Major, and Cordelia.

Cordelia wasn't really interested in the auction, but she stayed because York hadn't left yet; he and Melinda were sitting on Major's side of the row.

The auction kicked off after the emcee's rousing opening speech.

The first item under the hammer was an art collectible, starting at a hundred thousand dollars.
