Chapter 17 You Have No Right to Intervene
“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 would have knocked his teeth out!”
Richard forced himself to stand firmly.
He casually brushed off the situation because he didn’t want to be humiliated in front of Alicia.
Alicia naturally understood his intentions.
“That good-for-nothing must have been rejected for the interview here. That’s why he came to us to vent his frustrations.
“There’s no need for us to bother with losers like him. Let’s see what he can compete with us for on the day of the wedding on the 30th!” she said.
“That’s settled then. Willow must divorce him on that day!” Richard said coldly.
Caspian had just returned home. He was about to step into the living room when he heard Kate’s relentless yelling.
+15 BONUS
“Willow, listen to your mother and cut ties with that loser. Divorce him immediately and marry Mr. Nicholas on the 30th.
“Only by marrying into the Archer family can you prevent Alicia from overshadowing you.
“To think that loser even dared to boast that he would hold a grander wedding than Richard and Alicia.
“Now, everyone has already heard the news that your wedding will be held on the 30th of the month. How can we compete with them when they’ve already booked Lunar Hotel?
“The only hotel that can be comparable to Lunar Hotel at Southlake City is Jade Dragon Grand Hotel.
“However, it’s impossible for that loser to hold the wedding there! Even your grandma has never set foot in that hotel despite her age!” Kate exclaimed.
“If you’re willing to marry Mr. Nicholas, he can book the entire flor Lunar Hotel and give you a grand wedding. Our family will no longer need to put up with anyone’s attitude in the future.
“That way, you and Alicia’s wedding will also be on par. Just think about it, the two of you reserving two floors at the Lunar Hotel to hold your weddings would bring unprecedented glory to the Stewart family!”
Kate continued to advise Willow. “As long as you’re willing to accept Mr. Nicholas, our family’s position will be stable within the Stewart family. There won’t be a need for us to please anyone else in the future.
“The reason why they’re so arrogant now is because Alicia married a rich husband! But look at you, marrying such a good-for-nothing!”
Caspian had roughly grasped the situation after hearing Kate’s words.
His mother-in-law wanted Willow to leave him and marry Nicholas from the Archer family.
His heart sank. There were only a few days before the 30th of the month. By then, the grand wedding he had asked Sylvia to arrange would surely outshine Alicia’s.
“I don’t agree with this, Mom. I don’t want to leave Caspian.” Willow’s agitated voice echoed out.
“How can you be so stubborn after all the advice I’ve given you? What kind of a life can you have with such a useless person? Are you willing to live such a lowly life forever?” Kate asked frustratedly.
“It’s because I love him,” Willow stated firmly.
Caspian’s l*ps curled up slightly upon hearing her words.
He hadn’t expected to become such an important person to Willow in such a short time.
It seemed that his efforts to help her were worthwhile.
“How could you fall in love with a loser like him? Are you out of your mind?”
Kate was so upset that she was unable to speak coherently.
The next moment, a man’s voice rang out. “Willow, that loser is just an insignificant employee in your company. What kind of relationship could the two of you even have? Don’t tell me you really believe that he can give you a grand wedding?”
Although Caspian was unfamiliar with the voice, he had already figured out who it belonged to.
It was Nicholas Archer, the man who had been pursuing Willow aggressively.
But what surprised Caspian was that Kate had brought Nicholas directly to their house!
