The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 I Refuse to Get a Divorce

Half an hour later, the Stewart family finally stopped bustling around and noticed Willow.

“Where’s that useless husband of yours, Willow? Why isn’t he here yet?”

“You should just cancel the wedding. That good-for-nothing Caspian has been bragging all this time. I’m

sure he has gone into hiding now because he can’t hold a wedding ceremony.”

“Why did that piece of trash even think he could compete against Mr. Richard? He humiliated himself.”

“It’s such a shame that a useless guy like Caspian got to marry a wife as beautiful as Willow.”

Some of the Stewart family’s relatives piled on their sarcastic remarks.

Willow’s cheeks flamed. She wanted nothing more than to leave at once.

However, she still recalled what happened the other night. She had seen how respectful Sylvia and the

others had been when they greeted Caspian.

Willow chose to believe Caspian. She was certain he was late because he had urgent matters to attend to.

“Willow, it’s one thing for you to humiliate yourself. Don’t let Ms. Barton suffer such humiliation with you.”

“Look at your old classmates. Are any of them worthy of being seen in public?”

The comments from the surrounding crowd became more and more distasteful.

“You can mock me and degrade me however you want, but don’t attack my friends!” Willow could not

resist shouting.

“I told you from the start that Caspian isn’t reliable,” Alicia gloated. “If you’d only agreed to be my

bridesmaid, you wouldn’t be in such a humiliating position right now. You’re the one who overestimated

yourself and insisted on competing against me.”

“Alicia, you’re going to regret what you just said. When the time comes, you’ll see why Willow is leagues

above you,” Miranda came forward and said. She could not stand hearing the comments anymore.

“Is that so? Let’s wait and see then!” Alicia retorted coldly.

“I think you people should leave. Why bother sticking around and suffering such humiliation for Willow’s

sake?” Alicia’s mother said to Willow’s old classmates.

Willow’s friends felt awkward, but they would not be abandoning Willow at a time like this.

Time trickled away as the crowd’s taunts echoed in Willow’s ears.

As she stared at the gates of Stewart Residence, she began to feel disappointed.

She was already utterly humiliated.

Carl could not bear to see his daughter suffering such disgrace, but he could not do anything.

“Willow, do you have anything else to say? You lost our bet!” Marilyn declared.

“I have nothing to say.” Willow did not know what she should do now.

“In that case, I’ve prepared the divorce papers. All you need to do is sign it.” Marilyn passed the divorce

papers to Willow.

Willow’s expression froze. She did not see this coming.

All eyes were on Willow.

The scions of Southlake City had been eagerly anticipating this scene.

Once Willow signed the divorce papers, they would instantly get on their knees and propose to her.

“I refuse!” Willow declared while shaking her head.

“What? You don’t get to refuse!” Marilyn fumed.

“Caspian and I are the only ones who have the right to decide what happens to our marriage! No one else can force us into doing anything!” Willow remained resolute.

“Do you want to give me a heart attack? He’s useless! Why are you clinging onto him?” Marilyn was
