Willow, who had been hiding in a corner the entire time, grew green with envy when she overheard the conversation.

What the hell? I’ve become a joke in Jipsdale, and even my classmates look down on me, yet Grandpa has never spared a thought for me! I’m the one who needs Tanner Group the most, not Sophie! Argh! Does he intend to give her all his assets?

What Willow didn’t realize, however, was that the more she seethed, the uglier her scowl became.

Unfortunately, she was so engrossed in her thoughts that she knocked over a vase beside her and sent it crashing onto the floor.

In a moment of panic, she stepped on the broken shards, only to cut her foot so badly that it started to bleed.

Josiah quickly walked toward the source of the commotion with Sophie and Tristan, and it wasn’t long before they found Willow standing in the corner.

Upon seeing her in such a wretched state, the old man couldn’t help but frown. Why is she behaving so sneakily? Isn’t she also a member of the Tanner family? Such behavior is just downright embarrassing!

“How long have you been here?”

Willow clenched her fists.

“Grandpa, isn’t this also my house? Why can’t I be here?” she snapped, annoyed at how biased her grandfather sounded.

“Yes, this is your house, but if there’s anything you want to know, you should be joining us in the living room instead of eavesdropping!”

Josiah hadn’t wanted to be so blunt, but he could tell from Willow’s expression that any attempt to knock sense into her would be futile.

The grimace on Willow’s face deepened.

“Morgan!” Josiah shouted.

Within seconds, the butler hurried over with a concerned look. “What’s the matter, Old Mr. Tanner? Are you not feeling well?”

“I’m fine. Send Willow to the hospital.”
