Chapter 29 The Heirs From Dhord City
“Please, don’t! I don’t want to die!” Timothy begged pitifully.
*Please have mercy. All I did was tease Lady Willow. I didn’t do anything else!” Jonathan was scared out
of his wits.
In the face of death, both men wet themselves out of fright.
They had committed their fair share of killing and looting. They were savages themselves. But fear
swamped them when they faced such a situation.
Timothy was full of regret. He shouldn’t have had any ulterior motives toward Willow. Now, he was going
to lose his life.
Jonathan felt the same way. He didn’t do anything at all. He accompanied Xenia to the gathering because
he wanted to show off. He merely had some impure intentions toward Willow. Yet his life was now in
danger!
“Do it!” Sylvia ordered.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several gunshots pierced the air.
Timothy and Jonathan were both dead.
Caspian dropped Zoey off outside her apartment.
Zoey was worried Caspian couldn’t hold the wedding as promised.
She offered, “Caspian, let me know if you have financial difficulties. I hope for Willow to have a proper
wedding, too.”
“You? Do novelists have deep pockets? Caspian asked calmly.
“Hmph! Are you looking down on me? I’m a pretty well-known author. I can earn up to tens of thousands a
month!” Zoey replied proudly.
Caspian was surprised. “Oh, you can earn that much?”
He was adept in military affairs but didn’t understand much about matters like this.
“It’s common. Authors who are more popular can even earn up to hundreds of thousands a month,” she
“Oh, I see. I’ve learned something today. But I’m not short on money,” said Caspian.
“You are more nice than wise. You’d better organize a proper wedding. If you fail and end up
embarrassing Willow, I won’t forgive you!”
With that, she entered her apartment:

Willow joined Southlake Corporation the next day.
Miranda dared not slack off because of her identity and, of course, Caspian’s instructions. She personally briefed Willow about the corporation.
The other employees noticed how attentive she was toward Willow. So, they followed suit.
Word spread like wildfire. Before long, everyone knew Willow was now the project director of Southlake Corporation.
Many tried to approach her.
The Stewart family was greatly shocked when they heard about it. They would never have expected one of their family members to work at Southlake City’s largest company.
It was all the more surprising for Alicia and Henry.
They witnessed Willow leaving the interview venue with a crestfallen look. Yet, she got the job!
Alicia now believed Caspian had supernatural abilities. Everything he said seemed to come true.
Marilyn had complex feelings. She had driven Willow out of Stewart Group.
Who would’ve known she would become Southlake Corporation’s project director? This position had
better prospects than working for the Stewart family.
As the largest corporation in the city, countless people longed for the position Willow held.
Although the corporation had stopped collaborating with them, her granddaughter was now the project
director.
At that thought, Marilyn immediately called for a family meeting. It was to discuss how they could
approach Willow for collaboration.
“As you all know, Willow is now Southlake Corporation’s project director. Let’s brainstorm and think of an idea to gain her favor,” said Marilyn.
