The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Buying Over Southlake Corporation

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.” 1

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 thought

about how humiliated I’ll feel when the time comes?”

But then, he gazed straight into her eyes. His gaze was solemn and passionate. “Honey, I’m not bragging.

I’ll walk the talk. When the time comes, I’ll ensure you become Southlake City’s happiest bride.”

She was immediately stunned. Caspian sounded sincere. It didn’t seem like he was boasting.

Willow could feel his determination when she met his gaze. She chose to believe everything he said.

“Okay. I believe you.” She didn’t even know why.

Maybe it was because of his firm gaze. Or it could also be because of his heartfelt confession.

“Alright then. Let’s do it this way. Let’s have our wedding at the same time that day. Then we’ll know

whose marriage is more glamorous,” Alicia suggested.

“Alright. Willow will surely have a memorable wedding on the 30th,” said Caspian.

“Deal. You’d better not bail on Willow at the last minute!” Alicia imagined them feeling embarrassed on

her wedding day. She couldn’t help but scoff.

“Cas… Caspian Lynch, right? What if you fail to keep your promise?” Marilyn abruptly asked.

+15 BOND”

“Weren’t you guys egging us on to divorce? If I fail to keep my promise, I’ll break up with Willow and leave Southlake City altogether,” he said.

“Sure. Everyone here is a witness. No one forced you to say that. When the time comes, I hope you’ll keep

your promise.”

Marilyn had always considered the daughters of the Stewart family as alliance tools. They were born to help the Stewart family ally with other elite families through marriage.

After Willow and Caspian divorced, she would take Willow’s marriage into her own hands. She would then let her marry a young man from a reputable elite family in Southlake City.

“Don’t worry. I will,” Caspian promised.

“You heard him, Willow. Are you sure you’re leaving the Stewart Residence with such a boastful loser?” Marilyn asked.

“Yes, I am!” Willow was enraged, too. She didn’t even hesitate.

“Alright. That’s your choice. As the head of the Stewart family, I’ll retract all of Willow’s shares in Stewart Group. I’ll consider returning them to you after you’ve cleared your mind and divorced this loser,” Marilyn

said coldly.

Silence followed. Who could’ve expected Marilyn to banish Willow from Stewart Group?
