The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 6

Caspian sat at his desk and waited for Willow to return. He was also waiting to become the company’s largest shareholder.

Instead, Melanie and Bobby returned to the company before Willow did.

As soon as Melanie entered the company, Thomas rushed up to her and said angrily, “Melanie, we’ve been waiting for you. Quick, return our money!

“Damn it! Your husband is really a scumbag. He went behind our backs and reported us to Ms. Stewart.”

He continued in anger, “Everyone in the company had a pay cut this morning. There’s no place for negotiation. Return everyone’s money right now!”

Thomas’ heated rant left Melanie stunned at the entrance.

After some time, she gathered what had happened in the office by her colleagues’ accusations.

Bewildered, Melanie stood at the entrance after getting shouted at by Thomas.

She was furious as well. She had finally divorced Caspian, and yet this beggar was still embarrassing her at the company.

In a fit of rage, she fished out the divorce certificate from her bag and held it up over her head.

She announced to her colleagues at the office, “All of you, take a good look. Caspian and I are already divorced and I have the divorce certificate on hand.

“From now on, we will go our separate ways. There’s absolutely nothing between us anymore!”

Everyone immediately fell into stunned silence.

No one expected to hear the sudden news of Melanie and Caspian’s divorce.

Thomas snatched the divorce certificate from Melanie and read it in a hurry. “Fuck! Have you two really divorced? You guys got divorced today?”

Melanie stuffed the divorce certificate back into her bag. Feeling aggrieved, tears streamed down her face.

“You guys came to me for help after suffering injustice in the company. Who do I turn to when I feel wronged?

“When Caspian and I were married for the past six months, we lived in a rental house and wore cheap clothing.

“I never had the chance to have a meal at a restaurant.

“Every day, I had to endure the mockery of my colleagues because of Caspian’s job as a deliveryman in this building.

“I have no one to complain to regarding all these grievances.”

She continued, “Caspian even had to show off in front of me at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

“He hired an actress and rented a knockoff car. He claimed that there was a billion dollars inside the bank card he got me and bragged that his car was worth ten million dollars.

“He even set a pile of fake luxury handbags and counterfeit cosmetics on fire in front of me.

“He pretended to be loaded and showed off in public as if he was some big shot. Who can I turn to to air my grievances?”

She turned to her colleagues. “In comparison, what you suffered just now was nothing. You guys only lost half a day’s wages. On the other hand, my first marriage failed, and I lost six months of my youth!”

A woman’s tears were a weapon that could move even hearts of stone, especially when it was from a beautiful woman like Melanie.

Earlier, the colleagues from the office were still clamoring to receive compensation from Melanie.

However, they were all worked up upon hearing Melanie’s grievances. They were indignant and determined to seek justice for Melanie.

Even though everyone clearly saw Melanie on Bobby’s arm when they entered, that didn’t deter them from seeking justice on her behalf.

They directed their anger on Caspian once again.

Thomas was the first one to rush over to Caspian. He pointed a finger at him and cursed, “Caspian, you’re just garbage! Get out of our company! Your disgusting smell is ruining the environment here at the office!

“A beautiful woman like Melanie is wasted on you. You don’t even know how to appreciate a wonderful woman like her.”

He continued, “Even after the divorce, you hired an actress to show off in front of your ex-wife. You even dared to claim that you have a billion dollars in assets! Why don’t you say that you’re a billionaire’s long-lost son?”

After Thomas was finished, other colleagues surrounded Caspian and bombarded him with insults.

The office was filled with shouts of vulgarity. It was as if Caspian had committed an unforgivable crime.

Caspian looked around and his gaze landed on Bobby’s smug expression. He had a gloating look on his one-eyed, pockmarked face.

Caspian remarked, “You’re all scolding me to suck up to Bobby, right? That’s because his father is David Mason, the general manager of our company.

“Even when all of you knew that Melanie cheated on me with Bobby behind my back, you didn’t dare to blame Bobby because of his father’s influence.

“All of you are bullies who only pick on the weak.

“That’s why I am being attacked mercilessly by everyone, with Thomas in the lead. Isn’t that right?”
