Moments later, the Stewarts finally regained their senses. Then, they burst out laughing."Has he lost his mind? Holding his wedding on the same day as Mr. Richard! He's going to humiliate himself!""A grand wedding, huh? He's not only a loser but also a show-off. I can't get why Willow likes him.""Look. His clothes have faded due to frequent washing. Yet he boasts about holding a wedding a thousand times grander than Alicia's!""Willow, I really don't understand what you see in him. You know what? I think you should divorce him. The sooner, the better. You have so many admirers. Pick anyone, and they'll surpass this loser easily.“…Willow's expression darkened as she listened to her family's jeers. She wanted nothing but to shut Caspian up.She was furious after listening to his bragging. "Caspian, why would you brag about having a grand wedding? Can you please be more practical?"I never knew you were such a show-off! You're enjoying the moment, no doubt. But have you thoug
The next morning, a shocking piece of news spread across Southlake City.An anonymous billionaire had bought over Southlake Corporation, the largest enterprise in the city, with 30 billion dollars. The purchase had taken place overnight.The company now had a new CEO. The former CEO declared his resignation, and his successor would be a competent young man.The news spread like wildfire.Even the older citizens, who were out early for breakfast, were talking about it.Every elite family in the city held urgent meetings. They exchanged information and were wondering who could've bought over Southlake Corporation with such a huge amount of money.Waking up in Willow's villa, Caspian received a message from Sylvia.She said he could now take over as the CEO of Southlake Corporation.He wasn't in a rush to do so. After getting out of bed, he considerately prepared a delicious breakfast. Then, he waited for Willow to wake up and have breakfast together.Willow was exhausted last
"Firstly, Southlake Corporation will operate as usual. The current organizational structure shall remain."Keep my identity a secret. Don't let anyone else know who I am. I won't come here often, so you have full authority to deal with company-related matters.""Alright, Mr. Lynch. I will not disappoint you." Miranda didn't expect Caspian to give her such authority on his first day. She was delighted.He continued, "Secondly, our company will immediately cease all collaborations with the Stewart family."Miranda was stunned when she heard that. She asked curiously, "The Stewart family? Isn't that your wife's family, Mr. Lynch?""Yes.""Sure. I'm on it." Miranda was puzzled. Why would he cut off all collaborations with them? However, her experience had taught her to follow instructions and never ask what she shouldn't.He asked, "Thirdly, does our project director have the surname Hudson?"He planned to take action against Richard's uncle. But he was concerned he might mista
"I've told you before," Caspian said. "No one should know about my identity, including my wife. Just do as I say.""Sure," said Miranda."While she holds the post, she'll get to decide the partners of all our projects. However, you shall inform her she doesn't have permission to collaborate with the Stewart family. If she insists, she must apply to the CEO's office."Caspian told the Stewarts last night they couldn't beg him and Willow for help. They scoffed at his words then and asked him to get lost.But now, he incidentally fired Wilson, the current project director. It happened in good time. Willow could assume the role instead. It would also benefit the company she established.By then, Willow would have the authority to choose the partners for Southlake Corporation's projects. He would love to see how those snobs from the Stewart family begged her for a chance."Sure. I'll let her know when the time comes," said Miranda."After she starts working, you shall assist her and
"Do you want to lay a hand on me? Come on, then! What's with the hesitation?" Caspian spoke with a chilling tone.At that moment, there was no way Richard dared to say anything else. Faced with Caspian's imposing demeanor, his defenses had all but collapsed. Richard did not even dare to breathe loudly."Did you think that I was an easy person to mess with? If this were in the past, you would've been dead because of your actions! But now, I can't be bothered to deal with your ignorance." Caspian rented a bicycle and left after he spoke, leaving behind a dazed Richard and Alicia in shock."Are you okay, Richard?" Alicia asked in concern. She hurriedly helped the visibly shaken Richard up."I-I'm fine." Richard still felt intimidated. "That bastard looked like he wanted to devour someone! Why did Caspian have such an expression?" Caspian felt like a complete demon to Alicia just now."Really? It wasn't that bad. I only fell because I lost my balance earlier. Otherwise, I w
Kate and Willow were both shocked when Caspian suddenly took action."What are you doing … L-Let go!" Nicholas' face contorted in pain."Are you deaf? Willow already refused you. I don't mind breaking your legs if you continue to pester my wife!" Caspian said calmly. Even Willow had never seen Caspian display such resolve before. He even dared to confront Nicholas!"You worthless bastard! How dare you raise a hand against Mr. Nicholas? Are you tired of living? Hurry up and release him!" Taken aback, Kate yelled furiously."No matter what, I'm still Willow's husband. Why are you siding with him instead?" Caspian asked irritatedly. "Mr. Nicholas is the son-in-law that I favor. As for you, you're not worthy to be with Willow! Apologize to Mr. Nicholas quickly, or you'll regret it!" Kate replied.Caspian's heart sank. Resolving a bastard like Nicholas using brute force didn't seem meaningful. He let go of Nicholas' hand.However, both Willow and Kate thought that Caspian had been
"You?" Willow's mouth fell open in surprise."That's right. Haven't you noticed? Nicholas offended me because he proposed to you in front of me," Caspian said. "Even if he offended you, what does that have to do with Southlake Corporation?" Willow asked."That's because the new CEO of Southlake Corporation is me," Caspian stated seriously."How is that even possible? You, the CEO of Southlake Corporation? Can you be a little more believable when you brag? "That's complete nonsense, Southlake Corporation is the largest company in the entire Southlake City!" Willow did not believe a single word that Caspian was saying.Caspian felt resigned. He was telling the truth, but Willow didn't believe him at all. However, he had anticipated this reaction. After all, there was no way Willow would believe him after he had revealed the truth so suddenly. Only when he gradually revealed his true abilities would she truly be convinced."We can talk about this next time. I've just learne
"That's right, all you need to do is sign this." Seeing the surprised look on Willow's face, Miranda wondered how shocked Willow would be if she knew her husband's real identity."Great. I'll sign it right away," Willow responded excitedly.Miranda spoke up after Willow had signed, "We extend a warm welcome to you, Ms. Stewart. From now on, you're a part of Southlake Corporation. If there are no exceptional circumstances, you can begin your work tomorrow.""Alright. Thank you, Ms. Barton!" Willow simply couldn't contain her excitement. It looked like Caspian didn't deceive her. He must have a really good relationship with that classmate of his."You're very welcome, Ms. Stewart. We're delighted to have someone like you to join Southlake Corporation." It was only a matter of time before Willow became the chairman of the company. There was no way Miranda dared to be uncourteous toward her. "You exaggerate, Ms. Barton. I'll do my absolute best to excel in my job." Willow was a
