Chapter 142 Just One Last Step
The waitstaff started serving the food. Each of them looked amazing.
Everything had already been prepared because the three of them had arrived really early..
“Ms. Stewart, we’ve picked these dishes earlier on. Feel free to order more if there’s anything else you’d like to eat,” Nicholas said.
“There’s no need to.” Seeing Nicholas had made Willow lose her appetite.
“Ms. Stewart, we have a lot of aged wine in our hotel. Feel free to order anything you’d like. It’ll be on the house.”
Nicholas said this on purpose so that they could move on to the next step.
“What do you think you’re doing, Nicholas? She must’ve driven here, so no alcohol for her. Soft drink would be fine.”
Alicia stood up immediately and pretended to rebuke Nicholas. This was all part of the plan.
Alicia’s words successfully dispelled Willow’s worries.
“I’ll have a soft drink, then,” Willow said as she nodded.
Even if she could drink alcohol today, she wouldn’t. Without Caspian present, she couldn’t let her guard down.
But little did she know that Nicholas had already spiked her drink.
The three of them had a glass of wine each.
“Let’s make a toast. Here’s to putting the past behind us.” Alicia stood up and raised her glass.
Willow politely stood up and touched the rim of her glass with everyone at the table.
She only took a small sip as a symbolic gesture.
Alicia and Richard exchanged glances when they saw Willow sip on her drink.
Their plan was working!
Willow was now their sacrificial offering!
“Here, taste some of the dishes,” Nicholas said. He couldn’t stop smiling.
The thought of doing unthinkable things to Willow made him ecstatic. He had had this fantasy for the longest time, and it was finally coming true.

It was at this moment that the door to the hotel opened. In walked a pretty lady with a perfect figure.
This lady was none other than Willow’s best friend, Zoey.
Today was payday, and Zoey wanted to treat herself to a fancy meal.
At first, she wanted to invite Willow to come with her. However, she decided against it.
She was worried she would be interrupting her private time with Caspian.
There was another reason. Zoey could no longer face Caspian.
She realized that her heart would race whenever she saw him. She thought she must have fallen in love with him.
Caspian was now Willow’s husband. In order to stop her forbidden thoughts, Zoey rushed to move out of the villa.
Standing outside of Southlake Hospital were Macy, Caspian, and Sylvia.
“Caspian, which hotel should we go to for dinner?” an excited Macy asked.
“Anything’s fine. We’ll just eat whatever we can find,” said Caspian.
“No, no. When it comes to one’s meals, it must be taken seriously.
“On top of that, it’s a meal with our Lord Caspian. I don’t care! It has to be a fancy meal!” Macy demanded in a spoiled manner.
“It’s not like I was the one who invited you!” Caspian replied coldly.
“I don’t care. I must have a fancy meal today. If not, I’m going to tell everyone when we get back. I’ll tell them that our mighty Lord Caspian is too broke to function and only thinks about himself!” Macy proclaimed.
She didn’t mean what she said. She would never speak ill of Caspian.
“You must have a death wish, huh? Fine, I’ll bring you to a fancy meal at a fancy hotel,
satisfied?” Caspian replied in an annoyed manner.
Macy obliged and had the entire table filled with various dishes.
