The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 4

After Sylvia gave Melanie a good dressing down, she went over to Caspian’s side.

She reached out and linked her arm with Caspian’s, whispering, “Lord Caspian, how did I do?”

Caspian nodded and walked alongside Sylvia to the SUV.

Melanie had always thought that Caspian couldn’t drive.

At that moment, she realized that Caspian not only knew how to drive, but he had excellent skills.

She stared after the Mercedes-Benz SUV as it sped away, the engine’s roar fading.

After standing dumbstruck for some time, Melanie grabbed Bobby’s arm.

He was also in a daze.

She said to him, “Bobby, Caspian must be acting, right? He must have spent all his savings to employ a beautiful actress and rent a luxurious car to put on a show.

“He wanted to change my mind so that I would go back to him. Isn’t that right?”

Bobby was confused by Caspian and everything that had happened.

After listening to Melanie’s assumptions, he suddenly had an epiphany.

“Melanie, you’re right. I remembered that there is a domestic car brand that makes SUVs that look a lot like the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.

“Changing the logo would easily fool someone. As for those luxury handbags, we only saw the packaging before that woman burnt them all up.

“There might have been nothing of value inside!”

Melanie and Bobby reached a conclusion. She nodded. “I agree with you, Bobby. Those bags must have been fake. Or else, she wouldn’t have set them on fire so casually.

“I frequent those luxury stores, so I would have known whether they were authentic at first glance.

“She must have been afraid that I would find out, that was why she deliberately set them on fire in front of me.”

They had been taken in by Sylvia’s bossy demeanor and commanding tone earlier.

After they mulled over it, both of them were convinced that she was just an actress hired by Caspian.

Melanie thought that she had seen through Caspian’s little charade that he orchestrated.

She was relieved that she suppressed the urge to get back together with Caspian.

It was a good thing she did not fall for his tricks.

When Sylvia was mocking her just now, Melanie almost threw herself into Caspian’s arms, pleading for them to return to the past.

At this moment, Melanie wrapped her arm around Bobby’s with a sense of triumph. She could already envision her ideal life in the near future.

As a socialite of the upper class, she would go around in sports cars. She would have countless designer bags and luxury clothing items in her wardrobe.

On the other hand, Bobby was in a foul mood. His beloved car was flattened to a sheet of scrap metal.

Caspian drove the car to the entrance of his company and had Sylvia take the wheel.

On the way, Sylvia reported to Caspian regarding the increased activities of neighboring nations at their borders.

Caspian replied, “Don’t worry, they suffered heavy losses since our last battle. They haven’t recovered their ability to fight yet. Keep an eye on them. If there is an emergency, report it to me immediately.”

He planned to resign from the company today and end what he had started.

After many years of warfare at the border, Caspian found himself longing for the hustle and bustle of the city.

In addition, the female CEO of the company had always been kind to him.

Caspian had intended to lead a quiet life with Melanie despite the pleasures available in the city.

He, Melanie, and Bobby were all colleagues in the same company. Now that they had gotten a divorce, there was no reason to stay here any longer.

With his status and wealth, he didn’t need to toil away at the company.

Caspian had just walked into the gates of the company when his colleague, Thomas Miller, approached him. “Hey, Caspian, weren’t you on leave today? Why are you here now? Could it be …”

He took a breath and raised his voice a few notches. “Could it be that you’re here at noon just to save money? Are you going to freeload off the company for a free meal?
