Chapter 287 Too Late for Regrets
“Benny! Why did you hit me? I wanted you to hit Caspian!” Kelsie cried out in disbelief as she clutched her aching cheek.
Bernard’s slap hurt more than Caspian’s. Kelsie’s face was all swollen.
“You bitch! Who else should I be slapping, huh? You nearly got me in so much trouble!” Bernard roared at Kelsie.
His outburst left Kelsie dumbfounded.
All along, Bernard had doted on her and did everything she asked of him. What was up with him today? Why did he hit her? She could not understand what was happening.
“Since you laid your hand on me, Bernard, don’t even think about seeing me again!” Kelsie declared in fury.
Bernard ignored Kelsie, Instead, he fell onto his knees in front of Caspian and Willow.
“It’s all my fault, Mr. Lynch. If I’d known that this bitch had offended you, I would’ve taught her a lesson from the start!” Bernard said fearfully.

He vaguely recalled seeing Bernard before during a meeting with Lincoln, but he did not remember much from that encounter.
But after noting Bernard’s fear, he knew that Bernard was aware of his identity.
“Please forgive me just this once, Mr. Lynch. I’d never dare to lay a finger on you!” Bernard pleaded.
His pathetic display rendered Kelsie speechless.
She wanted Bernard to stand up for her, but instead, he was a loser who even feared a matrilocal son–in–law!

“Bernard, you loser! You’re always bragging about how you work with Mr. Zott and how can do anything you want in Southlake City. Yet, now that I’m asking you for help, you’re being such a coward!

“If I’d known how much of a coward you were, I wouldn’t have gotten involved with you, you useless trash!” Kelsie shrieked.
“Shut up, you bitch!” Bernard snarled back at her.
He could not believe that Kelsie was still saying such ridiculous things at a time like this. Sooner or later, she would be the death of him!
Bernard’s reaction terrified Kelsie. He had never treated her this way before.
Meanwhile, Bernard continued to lameel in front of Caspian without saying anything. His back was soaked through.
Upon seeing this, Fritz got a bad feeling. Could it be that Caspian did come from a powerful background?
Was Willow truly the CEO of Southlake Corporation?
Shaking his head, Fritz tossed that possibility out the window.
Willow could not possibly be the CEO of Southlake Corporation, and Caspian was certainly not the Diatoranian God of War.
Why would the Diatoranian God of War end up being a matrilocal son–in–law in Southlake City? That made no sense.
Fritz kept trying to convince himself, but he still felt a little fearful.
“Are you still going to stop us from leaving, Fritz?” Caspian asked with a smile.
“You sent me a message saying that someone’s pretending to be the CEO of Southlake Corporation. Well, who is it? Does the fool have a death wish? Call the authorities and get whoever it is arrested!” Geoffrey said to Fritz.
