Chapter 316 Extreme Arrogance
Charles was somewhat perplexed. Why would Caspian be willing to marry Willow and become the matrilocal son–in–law of the insignificant Stewart family?
“And this is where you’re wrong, Mr. Hoff Senior. What’s bad about being a matrilocal son–in- law? You don’t need to do anything before the marriage or pay anything, and you’ll be provided for even if you lie at home all day.
“Isn’t that nice? And I got to marry such a beautiful wife who’s also the president of a large company. Many people would want a life like mine!” Caspian grinned widely.
While Caspian spoke, he looped an arm around Willow’s slender waist.
“Don’t worry, honey. As long as I’m president of the company, you’ll be treated well!” Willow smiled shyly.
Everyone was stunned at the sight of this scene. Caspian was way too infuriating. He was just a matrilocal son–in–law, and yet he acted like he was above everyone else.
Caspian was right, though. The fact that he married a beautiful wife who was also president of a company was enough for many other people to envy him.
“You sure do view things differently from everyone else, Mr. Lynch!” Charles laughed.
“I’m Wendell York, the head of the York family. It’s an honor to meet you, the God of Gambling!”
Right at this moment, Wendell and the others arrived at the reception hall. They were stunned. the instant they caught sight of Caspian before flames of rage rose in their hearts.
“Caspian Lynch, why are you also here?” Wendell asked, angry and shocked.
“The respected God of Gambling sent me an invitation. Shouldn’t I be here?” Caspian asked in disdain.
Upon hearing that, Wendell gave Charles a perplexed look. What was Charles doing? If Charles had invited Caspian to this banquet, why was he also invited?
Charles gave Caspian a look. What a quick–tongued fellow!
Caspian was obviously trying to create a rift between both sides.
“Mr. York, you’re here right on time! Mr. Lynch has agreed to make a bet. If I win it, Azuria Casino will be mine!” Charles said animatedly.
“What?” Wendell was stunned. Azuria Casino was a business owned by the York family. What right did Caspian have to decide its fate? Caspian was being disrespectful to him, the head of the York family!

“Caspian Lynch! You’re way too arrogant! My Azuria Casino is being investigated and was shut down because of you, and yet you’re trying to decide its fate. Who do you think you are?” Wendell asked nastily.
“To be honest, you’re right. You’re not in the picture at all,” Caspian said calmly. Despite that, his words were laced with arrogance.
Caspian’s commanding way of speaking overwhelmed Wendell and the others.
“You!” Wendell was so mad that his hands trembled. Caspian was way too arrogant! How dare
he?
“Caspian Lynch, how dare you be so arrogant? You’re just the matrilocal son–in–law of the Stewart family from Southlake City. The Stewart family are just ants to us, the Yorks of Dhord City!” Celestia stepped forward, speaking vindictively.
“I didn’t expect the Yorks of Dhord City to sound so confident. According to what I’ve learned, you’re just a lesser–known elite family. You’ll probably become something less than that after you return to the city this time,” Caspian said blandly.
Willow did not pay much attention to these affairs, but she had heard some things by virtue of being by Caspian’s side often. That included how the York family of Southlake City was wiped out by Caspian.
“Caspian, you’re way too conceited. One day, we’ll wipe out the Stewart family in Southlake as well! Your wife’s company too! It’ll eventually become a business owned by the York family!‘ Celestia said, her face alight with rage.
Even those in Dhord City would not dare to wilfully antagonize the York family, and yet Caspian was so arrogant!
Celestia felt humiliated. The flames of rage in her heart burned brighter and brighter.
Wendell’s heart sank. He knew the situation the York family was currently in, so he must think of a way to get Azuria Casino back this time. The York family would be in danger otherwise.
Wendell clenched his fists tightly. He was so enraged that he was trembling from head to toe, and his gaze was filled with so much rage they looked like they were on fire.
That was why he attended the banquet with a leisurely ease. It was because he had the power to back him up!
