Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 159

York had been his childhood friend. Yet now, that same childhood friend was spreading filthy rumors about her online—while he had the nerve to text and ask if she was alright?

And scrubbing her from the trending topics?

Was he the one who pulled her name off the top searches?

Even if Dr. Grant hadn't warned her in advance, she wouldn't have believed him anyway.

For all she knew, the viral rumors themselves might've been his idea, just a smokescreen to distract everyone from that secretly recorded video at the hospital.

Speaking of which, whoever filmed that video must've had real talent. What kind of angle did they use to make that scene look so suggestive?

It wasn't just Beasley's little childhood sweetheart who would be disgusted—Willow herself found it utterly revolting.

Just as she was about to block this number too, her phone buzzed.

Glancing at the caller ID, Willow let out a breathless laugh.

Without a second thought, she hung up and swiftly added the number to her blacklist, where it could keep the caller's primary number company in digital exile.

On the other end, the man who'd just been blocked arched an eyebrow in surprise.

The call had actually gone through? Did that mean she was home?

He dialed again, only to discover he'd just been blocked.

Speechless, he stared at his backup phone, unsure whether to be angry or amused.

A twisted idea popped into his head: what if he called her using his mother's cell—would she dare block that too?

Beasley's lips curled with a trace of mischief as he set the phone aside and left his study. He headed downstairs, grabbed his keys, and stalked out to his car.

He was going to find her in person.

The moment Klein saw his daughter's reply, he rushed home.

By the time he arrived, it was nearly 8 p.m.

Klein hesitated. "Why don't I finish it for you? Otherwise you'll be up until midnight."

"I remember Lettie loves chocolate and fruit. I'll make sure to load it up."

Klein had baked cakes for these two "little gluttons" before.

Willow grinned, "You can add some nuts too."

She was fond of those.

Klein chuckled as he helped her tidy up. "Perfect. We've still got some sliced almonds in the pantry."

Once the kitchen was spotless, the two of them settled in the living room.

Klein wanted to ask if the online rumors had gotten to her, but every time he tried, the words got stuck in his throat.

Beasley had assured him his daughter wasn't pregnant, but Klein still needed to hear it from Willow herself to be certain.
