The Almighty Chapter 351
hapter 351 Stellar Acting
Kate’s greed was written on her face, and Saul secretly viewed her in contempt.
Truth be told, Saul felt displeased that he had spent millions buying jewelry for Kate just so she could put in a good word for him.
“What are you saying, Kate? I couldn’t possibly visit you empty–handed, right?” Saul said insincerely. “Plus, it’s thanks to the Stewarts that the Masseys got to where we are now.
“We should be thanking you, too! If you hadn’t raised a daughter who became the CEO of Southlake Corporation, things wouldn’t be going so smoothly for both our families in Southlake City!”
Saul’s words made Kate feel even giddier, and she eyed him in satisfaction. If not for her, Willow wouldn’t have achieved her present success. The Stewarts and Masseys wouldn’t be enjoying their current status either.
Willow was now aware that Kate wasn’t her biological daughter, but despite their somewhat frayed relationship, she was still Willow’s mother.
After laughing, Kate smiled smugly as she loudly instructed the nearest maid, “Make us a pot of the finest coffee in the house!”
Saul was disgruntled, of course. It had been half an hour since his arrival, and he hadn’t even been served a drink yet.
Kate had been too busy admiring the jewelry.
“Why did you spend all that money, Saul? Do you need my help with something?” Kate asked as she sipped her coffee.
As people said, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. She believed Saul’s abrupt visit meant he needed a favor.
“Oh, I’ll have to let you know that I can’t lend you any money. The Stewarts are expanding their businesses, too. We can’t afford to lend money to anyone else,” Kate added.
Saul curled his lips, Recently, Kate spent all her time boasting that Carl had earned close to a billion dollars. Everyone knew about it now.
Naturally, he wouldn’t say anything about it now. Still smiling, he said, “I’m not here to borrow money from you, Kate.”
“That’s good then,” Kate said in relief. She was obsessed with money and loathed it when people tried to borrow money from her. It didn’t matter who it was. She would never lend her money to anyone.

“Well, go on. Why did you come to see me?” Kate asked curiously.
As long as it didn’t involve money, she would gladly entertain him.
“You silly girl! Get on your knees and beg your Aunt Kate for help!” Saul intentionally glared at Jessica and commanded.
As soon as he said that, Jessica instantly fell to her knees in front of Kate.
Taken aback, Kate asked puzzledly, “What on earth is going on, Jessica?”
“Caspian wants to take action against me, and you’re the only one who can help me, Aunt Kate!
Jessica cried out after managing to squeeze out a few drops of tears.
“Huh? What happened? Why would that good–for–nothing Caspian dare to provoke you?” Kate asked. She was even more confused now.
Caspian didn’t have any contact with the Masseys, so why would he do anything to Jessica?
“See, the thing is, Aunt Kate…

Jessica spun a tale that covered the gist of the matter. She avoided the whole truth and merely mentioned a small portion of what had happened.
Alas, that alone was enough to terrify Kate.
If word got out about what the Massey family had done, the authorities would certainly get involved, and the Masseys would have to spend the rest of their lives in prison!
“I didn’t know about these things, Aunt Kate! But it seems like Caspian and Willow are about to report our family to the authorities. Maybe they’ve already done it. Please put in a good word for us and tell them not to get involved…” Jessica pleaded tearfully.
Kate knew that Caspian had connections with the Inspector General.
The Masseys would be in big trouble if he did get involved with their situation.
“Well…” Kate said hesitantly. She was conflicted. Even though she was Willow’s mother and Caspian’s mother–in–law, her relationship with them was tenuous now.
Even if Kate tried to put in a good word for the Masseys, she didn’t know if Caspian would listen to her. She would be humiliated if he refused.
