Chapter 280
lan thought it was perhaps fate. Fate seemed to have woven lan’s and Willow’s paths together and would be leading them through a journey of highs and lows. Indeed, he was ready to fall for her.
As Eric closely watched lan, he had a good sense of what lan had decided.
With
a smile, Eric turned to lan and exclaimed, “Boss, that Influencer, Willow, she’s incredible! Our Arena of Glory could really use someone like her as a brand ambassador Boss-”
“I’m not feeling well, Eric,” lan interrupted.
His
unexpected words stunned Eric.
Eric stared at lan, who maintained his usual poise, and asked cautiously, “Boss, where do you feel unwell? Don’t worry. I’ll call the doctor right away!”
“My heart, Eric. It’s pounding like never before,” lan said, causing Eric to nearly choke on his own saliva as he rushed to dial the private doctor.
Eric hated to laugh in front of lan, who was more intimidating than the Grim Reaper, but he couldn’t contain himself this time. He chuckled uncontrollably.

Noticing tears threatened to spill from Wilhelmina’s eyes, Matthew couldn’t help but ask, “Willa, which bracelet are you talking about?”
“Matt, it’s the one your grandmother gave me when we first met! She said every daughter–in–law in the Mayer family receives one. Grandma will be upset if I lose it!
“I really cherish it, Matt. Earlier, I switched from the emerald bracelet to the silver one for the audition and carefully kept the emerald one in my bag. I never imagined it would just vanish.”
Wilhelmina turned, her captivating face marked by sincere desperation.
“The one I’ve lost is an emerald bracelet. Could everyone please help me search for it?”
