Carl's face flushed, and Kate also felt somewhat embarrassed. She tried to hand over the hen from Carl's hand, but she lost her grip, and the hen started running around on the ground.
It took Miranda and Cecilia a great deal of effort to catch it.
Caspian furrowed his brows, and Willow felt a bit embarrassed seeing this scene.
Both Kate and Sherry were elders. However, they were so different and couldn't be compared with each other.
Carl apologized. "Willow, Caspian, the Stewart family hasn't had deals for a long time, and with so many mouths to feed, we're really struggling."
"Dad, I've saved up some money myself. Use it for now. I haven't been working for a long time either," Willow said.
"What? I'm not here to ask you for money. Since the Stewart family is in trouble now, I tried to find work elsewhere, but Mom thought I was disgracing the family and made me resign." Carl quickly shook his head.
"Dad, Southlake Corporation isn't rebuilt yet. I can't help you either. Caspian has lost his position, too. All we can do is wait and see if the government will provide compensation," Willow said in a low voice.
Upon hearing Willow's words, Kate stepped forward and said sarcastically, "When Caspian was the Diatoranian God of War, he didn't help the Stewart family much, right?
"Now that you're the Massey family's daughter-in-law, Mr. Massey surely can help us even if Caspian can't."
"The main issue is that many industries in Southlake Corporation are struggling. Unless the reconstruction is complete, it'll be difficult to restore the business," Willow said helplessly.
Southlake Corporation had become a ruin, and all its employees had become unemployed.
Fortunately, the profits from its subsidiaries supported them, or they wouldn't be able to survive.
"Mr. Massey holds a high position. There will surely be many projects in the reconstruction of Southlake City.
"As long as he speaks a word for us, the Stewart family will surely make a lot of profit when we take over the project. If not, we'll give him some dividends. After all, we both share the same surname!"
Kate was entirely fixated on making money that she didn't realize someone like Logan wouldn't care about a small dividend.
"Mom, the reconstruction of Southlake City has nothing to do with Mr. Massey," Willow said, somewhat displeased.
She could sense that Caspian was getting irritated, and it would be troublesome if he lost his temper.
"With Mr. Massey's status, as long as he says the word, who would dare to refuse him? Your grandma has already said that as long as we take over the project, we can give Mr. Massey 20% of the profits!"
"If there's nothing else, you can leave now," Caspian urged them to leave as he was getting impatient.
Kate, indeed, was only interested in money.
She was somewhat jealous that Caspian could be so lucky to be the heir of the Massey family.
"I haven't seen Sherry for a long time. I need to have a good chat with her," Kate shamelessly said and shook Sherry's hand.
Sherry didn't know what to say as there wasn't much to talk about between her and Kate.
The two of them could only sit on the couch and watch TV. Unexpectedly, the TV was airing news related to Caspian.
"The once-mighty Lord Caspian has done such a treacherous thing. It's truly heart-wrenching!" a male host said angrily.
"Who would've thought? Many young people used to look up to Caspian as a role model and even as the nation's husband. But with this news, Caspian's image has completely collapsed!"
"Let's look at the latest orders from His Majesty!"
