Chapter 345 Gathering Evidence of Their Crimes
Kevin trembled slightly at the thought.
The Masseys had their share of enemies, of course. They did not have a strong standing in society yet.
Previously, Kevin had paid attention to the massacre of Flying Dragons, and he knew it seemed to have been related to Caspian.
Some said that Caspian was no ordinary person. On the contrary, he was a powerful figure who called the hit on Flying Dragons.
Just then, Eric came running into the house.
“I have bad news! Something terrible has happened!” he yelled breathlessly.
Brows creasing in displeasure, Jessica huffed, “Stop yelling! What are you panicking about? You look like a mess.”
Eric did his best to compose himself. He dared not say anything.
Initially, he was simply a street thug in Southlake City. It was Jessica who gave him the chance. to lead the Masseys‘ underground forces.
Eric was able to establish himself in the city mainly due to Jessica’s support.
With just a single word from her, he could lose everything he had now. Therefore, he dared not show her any disrespect.
Jessica smirked at the sight of Eric’s meekness.
“What’s going on? What made you so flustered?” Jessica asked puzzledly.
“I was out collecting debts when I ran into Willow Stewart and her husband, Caspian Lynch!” Eric reported shakily.
“What did you say?” Jessica exclaimed. Startled, she leaped off the couch.
The maids in front of her flinched, but none of them spoke as they did not know what was happening.
“Get out,
out, all of you!” Jessica abruptly shouted at the maids.
They lowered their heads and quickly left the living room.
No one dared to offend Jessica. If they did, their lives would become a living hell.
“Say that again? Did you really bump into Willow and Caspian?” Jessica asked with her eyes
fixed on Eric.

Just the mention of the couple infuriated her, but at the same time, she felt fearful. Everyone in Southlake City knew about Caspian and Willow’s extravagant wedding
Even a high–ranking general from South Aridlands had attended their wedding. It had been a grand affair.
Furthermore, Caspian was closely connected to the massacres of both Flying Dragons and the York family.
Everyone in the city speculated that Caspian had an extraordinary identity and was merely using his role as the Stewart family’s matrilocal son–in–law as a cover.
The more Jessica thought about this, the more scared she was.
Her reaction made Eric uneasy as
well
The Masseys could not afford to offend Willow either. She was the CEO of Southlake Corporation. That alone was enough to let her lord over many others.
In response to Jessica’s question, Eric replied, “That’s right. Caspian’s subordinates took Diego away, and I also heard another shocking news. Lincoln Zott, the man who invested in Southlake Corporation a while back, seems to be working for Caspian now.
“Why are you panicking? What a loser! Everyone used to say Caspian was a useless good–for- nothing, but I think you’re the useless one! All you do is panic! Act like a man, why don’t you?
Although Kevin’s family. the Copelands, weren’t that prominent either, he used to think he was a lot better than Caspian.
Willow had become the CEO of Southlake Corporation, and Caspian no longer kept a low profile like he used to.
