Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 615

After shouting, he whipped his head around, staring urgently at Willow. His eyes were full of unhinged desperation as he rushed to smear Silas's name. "Willow, don't trust him. Silas is ruthless and manipulative, far darker than you could ever imagine. You have no idea what he does behind the scenes! He's the one throwing Vivienne into prison, and he hired people to torture and punish her every single day. He is brutal and heartless. Do not be fooled by his gentle act!"

Hearing this, the aura surrounding Silas instantly plummeted to freezing.

He had originally planned to find the right moment to slowly confess to Willow about how he handled Vivienne. He hadn't wanted her to think he was overly cruel or become wary of him, and he definitely hadn't wanted to drag her into the dirt of these ugly conflicts.

Now, having it suddenly blurted out in public by Julian, Silas's heart clenched tight. A subtle trace of nervousness and anxiety hid in the depths of his eyes. He was genuinely afraid—terrified that Willow would be repulsed by his extreme methods and grow to fear him.

But in the very next second, Willow's expression remained perfectly calm. She simply stated, "Of course I know. Vivienne stole my research, forged her identity, intentionally framed me, and committed countless crimes. Every single one is a felony. She ended up exactly where she belongs. She brought this all on herself."

Her gaze was clear and unwavering. Gripping Silas's hand tightly, her tone grew even more resolute. "As far as I'm concerned, Silas showed her mercy. Her punishment was entirely too light."

Those few simple words instantly left both men frozen in place, utterly stunned.

Silas had never expected her to defend him. In an instant, his tightly wound heart settled, and the surging anxiety completely dissipated, replaced by an overwhelming wave of deep affection and tenderness in his eyes.

All his worries, insecurities, and fears vanished into thin air. Because Willow stood by his side unconditionally, understood his decisions, and trusted all his choices.

Julian, on the other hand, was completely blindsided. He felt like he didn't even recognize the Willow standing in front of him. He had fully expected her to side with him, to condemn Silas's cruelty, but instead, she fiercely defended him.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he forced the words out of his tight throat. "You've changed, Willow. You've really changed."

Willow stared at him coldly. "People have to move forward. No one is going to stand still forever, just waiting to be hurt and never changing."

As she spoke, she kept a firm grip on Silas's hand, and it was this exact movement that finally drew Julian's attention to the diamond ring on her finger.

The breathtaking, massive blue diamond ring caught the morning light, refracting a dazzling, icy brilliance that practically stung his eyes.
