Chapter 56 Absolute Power
For a while, Willow was in a state of confusion. What would Caspian think about this incident? How would he feel knowing that Kate bullied his foster mother every day?
How would he react after learning that Kate chased Lilith out of the villa? And because of that, Lilith was beaten to death on the street.
“Mom, wake up! Mom!” Willow screamed as her tears flowed uncontrollably.
She refused to give up just like that. So, she took out her phone and called for an ambulance. At that moment, Willow’s hands were already stained with blood. O
After that, she called Carl to tell him about what had happened. He had just arrived at the villa when he received the call.
“Willow, is something wrong?” asked Carl.
Willow cried out, “Dad! Something terrible has happened!”
Upon hearing her cries, Carl was startled. However, he remained calm and replied, “What happened? Don’t cry. Calm down. What exactly happened?”
“The members of the Flying Dragons have beaten Madam Ziegler to death!” Willow replied.
Carl’s face went pale immediately. He was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to process the news. “What? What on earth happened?”
“It’s hard to explain on the phone. Please, come over now.” Willow, too, was at a loss and had no idea how to explain the situation.
“Where are you now?” Carl inquired.
“Riverside Park. Dad, hurry, please!”
Kate overheard that someone had been beaten to death. “What happened? Who died?” she asked in panic.
“Willow said the members of the Flying Dragons beat Lilith to death!” Carl responded urgently.
“What? How could this happen? She was fine before!” Kate was also in shock after learning
that.
After all, she was the one who had driven Lilith out. Now that the latter had died, she could not avoid being implicated.
“I’m not sure either. Let’s go find out!” said Carl.

Right then, Kate’s mind was in chaos. She could not just sit at home and wait for someone to update her. “I’ll go with you!”
Both Carl and Kate drove straight to Riverside Park. The park was close to their villa. So, they arrived in just over ten minutes.
After getting out of the car, Kate saw Lilith covered in blood. Moreover, her face was pale as she lay on the ground.
The sight of the latter’s b*dy sent shivers down Kate’s spine. She never expected that such a serious accident would happen after she chased Lilith out.
“Willow! What on earth happened? How did Lilith get involved with the Flying Dragons?” Carl questioned. He was also terrified.
Caspian had only been gone for a little over ten days. Yet, Lilith had met such a tragic end.
“Madam Ziegler passed by and happened to see a group of people trying to harm a young lady,
Willow explained.
She continued as tears streamed down her face, “She couldn’t stand by and do nothing. So, she stepped in to help the woman. But in the end, they beat her to death!”
“What does this have to do with the Flying Dragons?” Carl asked again.
Willow replied, her voice choking with tears, “It was Derek York from the York family in Southlake City. He ordered the Flying Dragons to attack and kill Madam Ziegler.”
Carl was at a loss upon hearing that. He never expected that Lilith would die in their hands. He knew about the York family’s influence and power in the city. Besides, no one dared to provoke the Flying Dragons either.
“But it’s the middle of the night! Why did Lilith come to the park?” Carl continued asking. Willow gritted her teeth before snapping, “Why did she come to the park? Why don’t you my mother?” Right then, she harbored resentment against Kate.
“What exactly happened? There’s no reason for Lilith to come out so late at night!” Carl turned to ask Kate.
Knowing that she was partly responsible for the incident, Kate told him the truth. “I said something out of anger and chased her out of the villa.”
