Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 362

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

However, the sentencing of those college students who had conspired with Zoe to drug Willow proceeded at a surprisingly rapid pace.

After a month of hearings, Hamlin was convicted as Zoe's accomplice. Having accepted her money and agreed to her demands with the intent to assault Willow, he was found guilty of attempted rape and sentenced to seven years in prison.

Hamlin did not appeal, and the case was closed.

As for the other female students, considered accessories to the crime, they received sentences ranging from one to three years.

None of them appealed, and the case didn't implicate anyone else.

Furthermore, there was absolutely no discussion about these students at her father's school. They were expelled so quietly it was as if they had never existed on campus.

Willow knew Beasley was pulling strings behind the scenes. Not only did he ensure they received maximum sentences, but he also suppressed the rumors at the school. Yet, she didn't feel a shred of gratitude.

Everything she and her father were going through now was brought on by Beasley. Therefore, whether his actions were sincere or fake, she simply didn't care.

Besides, who was to say he wasn't working with Rosamund to help her stay perfectly hidden?

It was true that Willow hadn't been idle this past month. Relying on her advanced tech skills, combined with Ryan's covert investigations, she had uncovered the connection between Rosamund and Alistair's family.

More accurately, Alistair and Zoe were among the many underprivileged students Rosamund had once sponsored. However, the records of such a noble, charitable act had been deliberately erased.

What did that mean?

It was a dead giveaway that someone was trying to hide something.

The only unknown was what role Rosamund played in all this and to what extent she was involved.

Aside from the lack of hand-holding, kissing, or other intimate gestures, their interactions looked incredibly genuine. They successfully fooled everyone—even Waller himself was starting to get a little caught up in the illusion.

"Your birthday is next Wednesday, right?"

During lunch prep, Waller was helping wash vegetables in the kitchen while Willow handled the cooking.

He suddenly remembered her birthday was next Wednesday, but he wouldn't be free until the weekend. That meant he wouldn't be able to celebrate with her on the actual day.

So, he wanted to celebrate a few days early, just the two of them, tonight.

Willow was prepping some marinated pork belly. Hearing his question, she looked up and smiled. "Yeah, I'm turning 24 before I even know it."

In her past life, she had only lived to 27, and Waller only made it to 29. In this life, she wondered if the two of them could break the curse of their previous fate.
