Chapter 155 You Are at My Mercy
“Believe me. I’ll lead Southlake Corporation out of this crisis. But I need your help. As long as Stewart Group can take some projects over, Southlake Corporation will definitely have your best interest at heart.” Willow was feeling helpless.
The company was indeed in a critical situation, and her only option was to beg the Stewart family.
“Willow, I suggest that you stop spouting nonsense. In fact, you are not cut out for this position at all. Glorious Group is strong. What are you going to use to fight them?” Donald mocked.
“Do you really want to terminate all the contracts with Southlake Corporation? We have it in black and white. Any party that terminates the agreement has to pay damages for breach of contract,” Willow said.
“The amount is so small. It’s nothing. As long as Stewart Group can work with Glorious Group, the profit would exceed tenfold!” Marilyn said.
Caspian was utterly speechless. He never expected that the Stewart family would choose to end. their collaboration at this crucial moment.
Back then, when Marilyn was begging him for the opportunity, she looked a hell lot of different.
These relatives of Willow had completely broken her heart. They chose to pick this crucial moment to add fuel to the fire.
Willow finally saw her family’s true colors.
Caspian finally spoke out for the first time that evening. He asked, “Have you really thought it through? You really want to end all cooperation with Southlake Corporation?”
“Since when was it your turn to speak out, loser? Stewart Group has already signed a contract with Glorious Group,” Henry said scornfully.
“That’s right. It’s just as Henry said. Our family has chosen to work with Glorious Group,” Marilyn said.
“Caspian, you know you can just stay silent, right? Who gave you the right to speak? Besides, does Southlake Corporation have anything to do with you?”
“Now that Willow’s in trouble, what would a loser like you do to help her?” When Kate heard Willow’s company was going through tough times, she felt infuriated.
And Caspian became her punching bag.

“Will everyone just shut it? I will get through this
me!” Willow said coldly. She immediately stood up “yself. I don’t need any of you to help
and left.
Caspian followed behind her and left Stewart Residence as well.
On their way home, Willow was bawling.
“Willow, why are you crying? I’ll help you settle the problems,” Caspian comforted.
“I’m not crying because of the company. It’s the family. The way they treated us really disappointed me!” Willow cried frustratingly.
“They will definitely regret their actions today,” Caspian said calmly.
Caspian’s words got Willow’s attention. She asked, “Caspian, could it be that you have a way to save Southlake Corporation?”
“I haven’t thought of anything yet. But for now, let’s find someplace to eat. You didn’t get to eat anything just now,” Caspian said.
“Okay.” Willow nodded.

Those trailing behind him were all the managers and cream of the crop of Glorious Group. Some of them were even dignitaries from Southlake City.

Caspian saw Belvin among the group.
“Aren’t you Ms. Stewart, the CEO of Southlake Corporation! Nice to meet you!” someone blurted. He was an ex–employee of Southlake Corporation and was surprised to see Willow
