The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 458

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lynch," Rebecca said somewhat remorsefully.

Caspian was her boss, and without him, she might've had to quit her career as a celebrity a long time ago.

"Not at all. I'm the one who should be thanking you. You wouldn't have been targeted if you weren't Southlake Corporation's brand ambassador. Don't worry. You're Willow's friend, so I'll definitely protect you," Caspian said with a smile.

Rebecca was touched, and she envied Willow very much.

Caspian was genuinely a good man. Many women would fall head over heels for him.

Even Rebecca fantasized about him sometimes.

However, Caspian only had eyes for Willow. No other woman could make his heart stir.

"I think the person behind this is extremely powerful. I'm afraid it won't be so easy, Mr. Lynch," Keller said worriedly.

The fact that the mastermind got so many media channels involved proved it could not have been the work of an ordinary person.

"To me, it's not a problem at all. It's easy enough to resolve this situation," Caspian said nonchalantly.

Everything would resolve itself once he dealt with Ethan.

…

Ethan walked out of Hoover Media in good spirits. He was planning to take a young female celebrity out on a drive.

The woman was pretty and had an attractive figure, and Ethan was in the mood to have some fun.

As the son of the Hoover family, he got to have his way with plenty of women.

Just as he opened the door to his car, he heard a muffled thump before falling unconscious.

A few men swiftly hauled him away.

…

Ethan was brought to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Dhord City.

Half an hour later, he slowly regained consciousness. The back of his head was still giving him a lot of pain.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a young man sitting in front of him.

The man had a smug smirk on his face.

Coming back to his senses, Ethan shouted, "What do you think you're doing? Let go of me! I'm the son of the Hoover family! Do you have a death wish?"

The Hoovers were an elite family in Dhord City, and as the son of the family, Ethan had never faced such treatment before.

However, the moment he finished his sentence, Sylvia slapped him.

"You'd better watch what you say, or I'll smash your face!"

Ethan was stupefied. He couldn't believe that someone dared to lay a hand on him in Dhord City.

But just as he was about to scream bloody murder, he saw the look on Sylvia's face and stayed silent.

He was alone right now. It was better for him to comply with his captors. But once he was rescued, he would make these bastards pay and teach them a lesson like no other!

"Who are you?" Ethan asked, glaring at Caspian. He could tell that Caspian was the leader of the bunch.

"Hah. You don't know who I am, but you had the nerve to come after one of my talents?" Caspian sneered.

"One of your talents?" Ethan's expression darkened. Then, he abruptly shouted, "How are you related to Southlake Corporation?"

"You've got some brains after all. Rebecca is Southlake Corporation's brand ambassador, but you chose to smear her reputation. It seems to me you're purposely targeting me!" Caspian commented as he stood up.

Ethan guffawed. "Here I was wondering who you are! Here's a word of advice. You better release me right away. Otherwise, all I have to do is say the word, and Rebecca will have to retire from the industry!"

Ethan might've been more frightened if his captors were hardened criminals of some sort, but what was there to fear when they were just a bunch of people from Southlake Corporation?

They merely abducted him to deal with the scandal affecting Rebecca.

Over an hour later, the burly men left the abandoned factory feeling quite satisfied.

On the other hand, Ethan was curled up in a corner and trembling uncontrollably. He felt like he had lost all will to live.

"Did it feel good to be in that position?" Caspian asked in amusement.

"You're a demon! You're the devil himself!" Ethan screamed as he shuddered. "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"What am I trying to do?" Caspian repeated with a smirk. "Well, don't you like slandering others? You'll be famous once I release the videos and photos online!"

He tossed a few photos over to Ethan as he spoke.

Ethan picked them up and glanced at them before freezing in shock.

The entire process of him being disgraced had been recorded.

If such things were released online, Ethan would never be able to hold his head up in public again.

All along, he was slated to become the next head of the Hoover family, but that wouldn't happen if his family found out about this.

Ethan scowled at Caspian. He didn't expect the latter to be this ruthless.

He would be humiliated for life if word got out about this.

All of a sudden, Ethan kneeled in front of Caspian and begged, "Please have mercy on me! If you release these photos, I'll never be able to face anyone again. As long as you don't release them, I'll get the media to clear Rebecca's name! Please, I'm begging you!"

He kept pleading pathetically, but Caspian was unmoved.

"Now you're scared, huh? What a shame. It's too late! You chose to destroy Rebecca's reputation by slandering her, and who knows whose life you'd ruined next if I didn't teach you a lesson?" Caspian growled as he stepped on Ethan.

Once he finished speaking, he walked off with Sylvia and the others.

"No! Please, I'm begging you! Don't release those photos!" Ethan howled after Caspian.

Alas, it was too late.
