Chapter 294 Out for Vengeance
Willow’s tears made Caspian frantic,
This was a happy occasion. They were taking their wedding photos, so why was she crying?
Did he do something?
“Honey…” Caspian called out anxiously.
“It’s fine. I’m fine. I’m just so happy!” Willow replied as she smiled through her tears.
Caspian suddenly recalled that he and Willow had gotten married without a formal proposal. Now he understood why Willow had gotten so emotional.
Soon, they were done with their photoshoot, and they went back to Sealand Hotel,
Azure Hotel was Sealand’s most luxurious hotel, and inside one of its lavish suites, Billy was busy sucking up to Kristian.
“Kristian, I’ve already sent people out to find out who hit you. I’m sure we’ll hear the news. soon! Once we find him, I’ll teach him a lesson he won’t forget!
“How dare he mess with you in Sealand? He’s got a death wish!” Billy declared haughtily.
“Stop boasting. Wait until you find him first.” Kristian scoffed in disdain.
Billy nodded and smiled. Groveling was the only thing he could do now.
Just then, someone came rushing into the suite.
“Mr. Jennings!”
Kristian looked up and saw Sam limping over to him.
“What happened, Sam? Why are you limping?” Kristian asked in shock.
“Someone had the nerve to beat me up, Mr. Jennings!” Sam howled.
“What? Who’s the ignorant fool who dared to hit you? Doesn’t he know you work for me?” Kristian growled in anger.
Sam was Kristian’s trusted subordinate who helped him collect protection money from the people in Sealand, especially from Sterling Bay. Due to its status as a tourist hotspot, there was always a steady stream of people. They got a lot of money from the beach.
Meanwhile, Kristian was taken aback. What was going on today? Not only did he get hit, but even his underling had been beaten up as well. What rotten luck!

Kristian, who had been doing his best to rein in his temper, was finally about to explode.
“Mr. Jennings, a few bastards were having a photoshoot at Sterling Bay. I tried to collect the fee from them, but some guy had the audacity to hit me…” Sam reported.
“You useless fool! You had your fucking men with you, didn’t you? Why didn’t you get rough with them?” Kristian cursed loudly.
“I did, but the other guy was stronger! He was far too powerful. He even broke my leg! I told him I worked for you, but he ignored me!” Sam explained helplessly.
Upon hearing that, Kristian was outraged.
When had he ever suffered such disgrace in Sealand?
“Who the hell is he?” Kristian asked as he stared at Sam.
“I don’t know where those people came from, but I saw one of their advertisements just now. It said Southlake Corporation!” Sam said.
“Southlake Corporation? I’ve never heard of it! What kind of lousy company is that?” Kristian
remarked in confusion.
He had never even heard of the name before.
“What? Did you just say Southlake Corporation? Are you sure it was Southlake Corporation?” Billy exclaimed as his expression stiffened.
“That’s right. It was Southlake Corporation,” Sam affirmed while nodding.
Billy froze as all the color drained out of his face.
Resentment swelled up within him.
He had looked into Caspian’s background before and knew that Southlake Corporation belonged to Caspian’s wife.
Billy would never forget Caspian.
If not for Caspian, he would still be a member of the elite society in Easton!
He would not have fallen so far from grace!
“What’s the matter, Billy? Do you know Southlake Corporation?” Kristian asked.
“Of course! Not only am I familiar with that company, but I have beef with them!” Billy declared through gritted teeth.
Billy used to lord over Easton, so what kind of grudge could he possibly have with Southlake Corporation?
overlord in Easton.
