Although Caspian was now the chairman, he didn't have an office.He turned to leave. As he brushed past Willow, he lowered his voice. "Honey, I need some help here. I don't have an office yet. What should I do?"He kept his voice low. Only the two of them knew what he said.However, he called her "honey" in public. So, her cheeks burned with embarrassment.Willow got wind of how Caspian had been verbally abused by his colleagues.They had not received their marriage certificates, but he was already her husband to her.It was natural to avenge her husband.Without hesitating, she pointed at her office. "Use mine for now. I'll make some space for you."He immediately declined. "No, that won't do. We have a deal. You're still the company's sole decision-maker. How can I occupy your office? I think Mr. Mason's office will do just fine."Willow noticed something earlier. Melanie exchanged a surprised glance with Bobby when she heard Caspian had become the chairman.She could someh
Caspian decided to bully Thomas openly.That was how Thomas treated him in the past. He wanted him to have a taste of his own medicine.He urged, "Hurry up and do it. I don't think I have the courage to drink the water you bring me if you don't swear on it." Those words infuriated Thomas. He had no way of backing down.Even so, he couldn't blow a fuse before Caspian. Things were different now. Caspian was now the board chairman, and he needed this job.He had to keep his temper in check no matter how peeved he was. "I swear that I won't curse you behind your back. If I do, I'm a son of a bitch," he swore.Dejected, he turned and left after swearing.Willow entered Caspian's office when she was done with her work."Today is my grandmother's 70th birthday. Why don't you come home with me?" she asked him expectantly."Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm not in the least prepared.""It doesn't matter. You're my husband. My grandmother will like whatever you gift her.""Then per
Upon hearing Marilyn's harsh words, tears streaked down Willow's cheeks."There, Grandma has spoken. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?""That's right! This loser is just plain shameless. His butt is glued to the chair! Not everyone can come into the Stewart Residence as they please.""Who knew how they hooked up with each other? Oh, it can't be … Willow, did that loser assault you?""Willow, hurry up and get lost! Take that loser with you."…At that moment, Willow and Caspian became the target of criticism.The Stewarts hurled nasty words at them.Carl and Kate sat awkwardly in a corner. They were seething and didn't plan on backing up their daughter.Before coming, Willow brought Caspian and was hopeful they would obtain her family's blessings.But she never expected her family to condemn her. In fact, some even suspected she had to marry Caspian because he assaulted her.She couldn't hold back her tears in the face of their baseless criticism and suspicion.Caspian did
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
