The situation was urgent, and Sherry could only gamble by revealing Caspian's identity.
As long as she could intimidate the other party, her goal was achieved.
If the other party knew she had a son who was a War God, they definitely wouldn't dare to act.
Upon hearing Sherry's words, everyone's expression froze.
"There are five War Gods in Diatoran. Who is your son?" Lacey asked cautiously.
"I'll tell you the truth. I'm the mother of the Diatoranian God of War, Caspian!" Sherry said firmly.
In fact, she wasn't sure, but she was left with no choice.
Upon hearing this, Cecilia and Miranda were stunned.
Cecilia never imagined that her foster mother had such a powerful son.
Miranda was even more surprised to learn that Caspian's biological mother was right in front of her.
She now hoped even more that Caspian would appear to save them.
But what if Willow hadn't seen the texts?
"That's hilarious! You might as well say your son is the king himself! That would be more intimidating!" Blake laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! If your son is really Caspian, I will write my name backward!" Fergus said disdainfully.
"Are you insane? Look at yourself. How could you be the mother of the Diatoranian God of War?" Lacey also laughed.
Nobody believed Sherry's words.
They all thought she was bluffing.
Cecilia and Miranda also expressed some doubt.
They felt that Sherry was making things up to save herself.
"Whether you believe it or not, my son is really Caspian! If he knows that you dare to lay a finger on me, he will wipe out the entire Jessop family!" Sherry said.
She silently prayed that she was able to frighten them.
"Do you think saying that will make me afraid of you? Let me tell you. My father is a high-ranking official in Diatoran. He's a prominent figure to the king!" Lacey said proudly.
"What's a high-ranking official when compared to the Diatoranian God of War?" Sherry said.
"Are you delusional? Do you really think you're the mother of the God of War?" Lacey laughed.
"Caspian has been fighting everywhere, defeating the enemies of four countries and even killing the two champions, Robert and Viktor. This woman must be trying to scare us by saying her son is Caspian!" Fergus said disdainfully.
Of course they refused to believe that Sherry was the mother of the Diatoranian God of War.
"She thinks that just because Lord Caspian shares her surname, he must be her son! It's simply absurd!" Blake said disdainfully.
The Jessop family didn't believe Sherry's words at all.
Cecilia and Miranda also began to doubt her.
If Caspian really was Sherry's son, why had she never mentioned this before?
Looking at the faces of the Jessop family members, Sherry also felt somewhat embarrassed.
She wasn't very sure, to begin with.
What if they just happened to share the same name? No matter how eloquently she spoke, the Jessop family simply wouldn't buy it.
"So that's how it is! Now that you've explained it, I understand. I know the king, too!" Lacey said with a smile.
"You misunderstood me. Caspian's wife, Willow, is my superior. We're good friends as well!" Miranda said.
"Willow is a beauty in Southlake City. She even opened a branch in Dhord City. We all know her," Blake said.
"It's up to you to believe me or not. Tom and I are from Southlake City. I'm the vice president of Southlake Corporation, and Willow is my boss," Miranda said.
Upon hearing her words, Sherry and Cecilia were both stunned.
Miranda had previously mentioned working in a large company but hadn't said which one.
They never expected Miranda to work in Southlake Corporation, which was currently a prominent company in Diatoran.
"You're quite good at making up stories, huh? Let's see what else you can come up with?" Blake sneered.
"I'm telling the truth. I am indeed the vice president of Southlake Corporation, and I have a good relationship with Willow. I've also met Caspian.
"Tom and I fled here because of the war. I just sent texts to Willow on the way here and told her to tell Caspian to save us!
"If I'm right, Caspian must be on his way here with his men!
"You'd better let us go, or once Caspian arrives, you'll all be done for!"
Miranda said everything she could, hoping it would work and intimidate the Jessop family.
Upon hearing Miranda's words, Sherry widened her eyes and asked, "You said yesterday that you knew a high-ranking official in Diatoran. Is it Caspian?"
"That's right, Madam Lynch. The high-ranking official we mentioned is your son, Caspian."
"Why didn't you say you knew Caspian earlier?" Sherry was both surprised and delighted. She was very surprised that Miranda knew her son.
