The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 24

Chapter 23 Caspian Was Never a Coward

Jonathan’s words caused the atmosphere in the room to go stale.

Naturally, Willow didn’t want the gathering to become so awkward. She picked up the glass and said to Jonathan, “Mr. Green, my husband is quite the straightforward man. Let me toast this drink to you.” (1)

Jonathan smiled when he saw Willow backing down. “Okay. Feel free to have as many as you like. Cheers!

After saying that, Jonathan picked up his glass and downed it.

Just when Willow planned to down the glass, Caspian grabbed her glass.

“Nob*dy can force you to do things you don’t want to!” he said:

Jonathan had been eyeing Willow up and down since just now. Caspian could no longer endure it.

The sudden turn of events caused Jonathan’s expression to freeze.

“Caspian, you shouldn’t butt in,” Willow quickly reprimanded. Jonathan’s murderous gaze caused her to

feel afraid.

“Ms. Stewart, I didn’t expect your husband to be so ignorant! Being so bold doesn’t do him any good,

though,” Jonathan said.

“I will definitely lecture him about this when we get back. Mr. Green, please don’t mind him.”

Fearing that Jonathan would resort to violence, Willow could only try to smooth things over with him.

“My boyfriend is quite influential in the east of Southlake City. Someb*dy tried to create trouble in the club some time ago. Now, he’s currently in the hospital!” Xenia flaunted.

“That’s not considered much. When I first got into this, everyone was fighting for territory …”

Jonathan started to boast about his experience happily. He even mentioned some illegal things that he

had done, such as killing people.

“Sweetheart, you’re amazing! You’re so capable,” Xenia praised in a dainty voice.

Everyone was a bit disgusted by Xenia and Jonathan’s back and forth. What was originally meant to be a casual gathering of ex-classmates had now turned into them showing off.

All of them were people with decent social standings. Thus, they weren’t interested in knowing what

hooligans were doing.

Only someone like Xenia would like Jonathan.

After all, she always loved being in the spotlight back in school. It seemed that she had never changed.

Jonathan and Xenia were too immersed in their world. When they realized nob*dy was paying attention,

they felt a blow to their pride.

Their ego was hurt when everyone seemed disinterested in what they were saying.

As Jonathan felt a bit ashamed, he placed his attention back on Willow.

“Ms. Stewart, I’m only going easy on you today because it’s you. Otherwise, there’d be severe consequences if someone else disrespected me. Right. You still haven’t drunk the wine.”

“Caspian, bring the wine over quickly.” Willow didn’t want to complicate things.

“Sweetheart, why are you so afraid of him? If this happened back then, I would have killed someone as

unreasonable as him ages ago!” Caspian said sternly.

Willow was rendered speechless. She thought Caspian was bluffing again.

Willow suspected that Caspian was doing this on purpose. After all, there was no way he would throw a proper wedding for her.

Jonathan gritted his teeth in anger. This was the first time he was looked down like this since he became

a thug!

The atmosphere at the gathering became incredibly tense.

With Caspian’s words, it became even more strained.

“Mr. Green, don’t get mad. Let us give you a toast!”

“That’s right. Willow never liked drinking. She gets drunk every time she drinks!”

“Her husband isn’t very smart either. That’s why he’s so rude. Please don’t take offense!”

The few classmates quickly helped out after seeing that Jonathan was about to make a move.

Seeing that Caspian was quite robust, Jonathan knew it wasn’t wise to fight one-on-one with him.

Plus, it wouldn’t reflect well if word got out that Jonathan made a move just like that.

Thus, he could only suppress his anger.

However, Jonathan couldn’t let things slide just like that. He had to let Willow know about his background.
