Chapter 148 A New Impression
“Are you jealous? There’s really nothing going on between us. Besides, I have a drop–dead gorgeous wife. Why would I be attracted to someone else?” Caspian chuckled.
He never thought that Willow would get jealous over this matter.
This made Caspian happy because it meant that she cared a lot about him.
“Who said I’m jealous?” Willow folded her arms across her chest and said smugly.
She would never admit it.
“Caspian, did you really disfigure Nicholas‘ face last night?” Willow asked as she suddenly recalled the incident from the night before. She could vaguely remember seeing Caspian slashing Nicholas‘ face.
“That’s right,” Caspian nodded.
“That was a pretty reckless move. The Archer family is really influential. Now that you’ve ruined his face, his family would never let it rest,” Willow said.
“He had plotted something so evil against you. Not killing him was already too gracious of me!
Caspian said in a fierce tone.
These words made Willow happy.
She had also realized that Caspian was no longer the same person he used to be.
He was now full of confidence. He had also become more firm in handling things.
However, she just couldn’t see through him. It felt like he was full of secrets.
“How’s Zoey doing?” Willow asked in a concerned tone.
She had no clue about what had occurred in the end.
“She’s fine. We had her sent to the hospital,” Caspian said.
Willow nodded. She was relieved to know that Zoey was fine.
If Zoey hadn’t appeared in time, she would’ve already been harmed.
Thinking about it now, she still harbored some resentment toward Alicia.
After all, Willow was her cousin. How could she team up with someone to deceive her?
Just thinking about it made Willow infuriated.
Caspian went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Willow called Zoey out of concern.
“Willow, what’s the matter?” Zoey asked in a raspy voice. She had just woken up.
“Nothing. I just wanted to ask how you’re doing,” Willow asked, her face full of concern.
“I’m all healed. A comrade of Caspian treated me yesterday. The swelling on my face is gone, too,” Zoey said.
Hearing the word “comrade” got Willow’s attention. There was another one?
Could it be that this “comrade” was Macy? For such a beautiful lady to also be medically skilled, no man would be able to resist her!
Upon hearing Zoey’s words, Willow started to feel conflicted again.
It felt like she didn’t really know Caspian.
Not only was he acquainted with someone like John Anderson, but he was also surrounded by wealthy friends!
And then, out of nowhere, a random attractive lady showed up as his comrade. On top of that, he had a friend who happened to be an amazing doctor. Everyone in his circle turned out to be greater than the last!
“I’m glad that you’re fine. I’m grateful for your help last night. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t even know what would’ve happened to me,” Willow said, still a little shaken from the incident.
“We’re close friends. There’s no need to be so formal between us. If it hadn’t been for Caspian. and Macy’s timely arrival, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything,” Zoey said.
“Oh, right! Did you and Caspian …?” Zoey asked as she suddenly seemed to recall something.
“Oh, my God, don’t even ask. It was so embarrassing,” Willow said, blushing.
“I want a man too!” Zoey cried out.
She then added, “Willow, you must keep a tight leash on Caspian. He has so many beautiful women around him. I’m pretty sure at least one of them likes him.
“Especially that Sylvia. She’s always by his side. You have to be careful. If some other woman snatched him away, it’d be too late to cry over spilled milk.”
Zoey couldn’t confess to Willow that she actually had a crush on Caspian.
What Zoey said made sense. Caspian was now an outstanding man.
Ms. Barton, how much of Southlake Corporation’s operation has Willow familiarized herself with?” Caspian asked.
