Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 61

Evening crept in quietly as Willow retrieved her phone from her locker at the Research Institute and drove straight to her new apartment.

She'd scheduled some takeout and a bubble tea in advance, timing her arrival perfectly so she could enjoy dinner while catching up on the latest drama online.

Once home, Willow grabbed her food and headed straight to the bathroom for a quick shower. After changing into comfortable loungewear, she sank into her beanbag chair, ready for a cozy night in.

Calls couldn't reach her at the Institute, so anyone wanting to contact Willow during work hours had to leave a message. She always checked and replied to them once she got her phone back on weekends.

She took a sip of bubble tea, picked up her phone, and opened WhatsApp. Over a dozen unread messages greeted her, most from Ablitt. She scrolled through but didn't rush to reply.

Satisfied there were no emergencies, Willow set her phone aside and pulled out her tablet—a larger screen, propped up hands-free, perfect for eating while scrolling.

She logged onto Twitter and tapped into the trending topics.

In just one day, Sudden Dawn was everywhere. Both the film adaptation—whose star-studded cast had just been officially announced that morning—and her original novel had exploded in popularity.

Half the trending board seemed to be dominated by Sudden Dawn-related buzz.

Willow's lips curled into a subtle smile as her fingers slowly scrolled down the screen.

Sometimes, you go from heaven to hell in just a handful of hours.

Just look at the current top thirty trending titles—

"STAR Fans Celebrate: Share & Win a Copy of Sudden Dawn!"

"Sudden Dawn Press Conference"

"Glimmer Shark's Meltdown"

"Sold Out"

"Plot Twist"

"Ms. STAR Finally Exonerated"

"International Star's Reputation Smeared"

"Announced This Morning, Axed by Noon—Shortest Leading Man in History"

"Sudden Dawn's Powerhouse Cast Announcement"

"Production Delayed for Sudden Dawn"

"Lawyers Weigh In: Handling False Accusations"

"Recasting News"

She'd been so blind. The truth was, his strict secrecy—never allowing a single picture to leak—was just another way to protect his beloved star.

It didn't mean their relationship was innocent.

After all, the childhood sweetheart was an international actress, a household name, the nation's darling. Beasley couldn't risk even a whiff of scandal clinging to her.

This man was so desperate to keep things "clean" between himself and his starlet that he'd gone so far as to destroy his own secret wife.

Willow stared at the press conference photos, eyes hardening as she focused on Rosamund's dazzling smile, a chill prickling at her heart.

As the one who'd benefited most, Willow couldn't believe Rosamund was truly oblivious—she just didn't know what part she'd played in it all.

Willow's lips quirked with a trace of irony. She then opened STAR's official Twitter account and entered the password.

Usually, the editorial team or Ablitt managed the account, but Willow had the login too—she rarely used it herself.

Tonight, she broke tradition. She posted an original tweet from the STAR account: a detailed list of her dream cast and crew for the Sudden Dawn adaptation.

Not a single person on her list—director, lead, or supporting roles—overlapped with Beasley's production.

The director she picked wasn't well-known now, but in two years, he'd be famous.

The moment Willow's tweet went live, debate erupted online once again.
