Chapter 18 The Person They Offended Was Me
Kate and Willow were both shocked when Caspian suddenly took action.
“What are you doing… L-Let go!” Nicholas’ face contorted in pain.
“Are you deaf? Willow already refused you. I don’t mind breaking your legs if you continue to pester my wife!” Caspian said calmly.
Even Willow had never seen Caspian display such resolve before. He even dared to confront Nicholas!
“You worthless bastard! How dare you raise a hand against Mr. Nicholas? Are you tired of living? Hurry up and release him!” Taken aback, Kate yelled furiously.
“No matter what, I’m still Willow’s husband. Why are you siding with him instead?” Caspian asked irritatedly.
“Mr. Nicholas is the son-in-law that I favor. As for you, you’re not worthy to be with Willow! Apologize to Mr. Nicholas quickly, or you’ll regret it!” Kate replied.
Caspian’s heart sank. Resolving a bastard like Nicholas using brute force didn’t seem meaningful. He let go of Nicholas’ hand.
However, both Willow and Kate thought that Caspian had been intimidated by Nicholas’ status.
“If you have any self-awareness left, you should leave Willow immediately. You can’t provide her with an upper-class life!” Kate insisted.
“We’re only a few days away from the 30th. Why are you in such a hurry? If I can’t give Willow an exceptionally grand wedding on that day, I’ll leave her then,” Caspian replied.
“Why do you need to do something so unnecessary? In the end, you’re just a broke man filled with lies!” Kate retorted.
“I’ll fulfill everything that I’ve said on the day of the wedding,” Caspian said indifferently. 1
Kate simply couldn’t be bothered with Caspian. Turning toward Nicholas instead, she asked, “Mr. Nicholas, did this good-for-nothing hurt you?”
“Mrs. Stewart, I didn’t expect this guy to be so rough. My arm almost broke!” Although there were countless grievances in Nicholas’ heart, he did not dare say anything further. After all, he did not feel that he was a match for Caspian in terms of strength.
“He’s all brawn and no brain. Don’t take it to heart.” Kate consoled him.

“Willow is destined to have an unhappy life if she marries a worthless guy like him. Mrs. Stewart, you’re well aware of my family background.
“As long as Willow agrees to marry me, the Stewart family can easily collaborate with the Southlake Corporation when the time comes,” Nicholas said.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Nicholas. I’ll continue to persuade Willow. You should keep the diamond ring for now,” Kate replied.
She picked up the ring from the ground and placed it in Nicholas’ palm.
Paying no attention to Caspian, she continued to persuade Willow patiently.
“Willow, your grandma wouldn’t have taken away your shares in the Stewart Group if it wasn’t for this good -for-nothing.
“Your future will be bright as long as you marry Mr. Nicholas. Everyone in the Stewart family will look up to you then!”
Resigned, Caspian left the hall. Walking toward his house, he dialed Miranda’s phone.
Miranda did not dare to ignore Caspian’s call. Picking it up immediately, she asked, “What can I do for you, Mr. Lynch?”
“From now on, cut off all of our collaborations with the Archer family!” Caspian ordered.
Surprised, Miranda couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Lynch, why the sudden-”
“No particular reason. It’s just that Nicholas Archer has made a mistake. He’s offended the wrong person! ” he replied indifferently.
Miranda was taken aback. Why were all these wealthy scions so idle?
Caspian had consecutively terminated their cooperation with three major families. There would be significant losses for the projects Southlake Corporation was involved in.
“Mr. Lynch, we have numerous ongoing projects with the Archer family. The sudden termination of our cooperation will lead to tremendous losses. This may not be an appropriate decision,” Miranda explained.
Naturally, she had the company’s profits in mind.
No matter what, she was still the vice president of Southlake Corporation. She had to consider the company’s well-being.
“You talk too much. Just do as I say. Don’t worry about the losses!” Caspian stated indisputably.
