At Riverside Villa, Miranda, who was having dinner, received a call that said a mysterious person had transferred ten billion dollars to the company.
Willow was ecstatic and kissed Caspian as she couldn't contain her excitement.
This made Caspian feel somewhat uncomfortable, especially since the elders were present.
Sherry had been eating, but her heart was blooming with joy.
"Hey, we're having dinner! Can you stop being so lovey-dovey? If you don't stop, I'll lodge a complaint against you!" Zoey complained.
Of course, she was just teasing Willow. Seeing how well the couple's relationship was, she was genuinely happy for Willow.
Willow had gotten a bit excited earlier and hadn't noticed that her behavior was a bit over the top.
She was embarrassed after being called out by Zoey.
"With ten billion, all the employees will be secure." Willow couldn't contain her excitement.
All of this was arranged by Caspian, so he actually felt nothing. But to go along with Willow, he pretended to be surprised.
"Willow, since you have the funds now, can you return my bank card?" Zoey reached out her hand.
"Why are you so impatient? If you get the money now, you'll just spend it. Let me keep it for you first. When you get married, I'll give it back as a gift!" Willow glanced at her.
Zoey suddenly felt like she was being deceived.
"So, as long as I don't get married, I won't get my money back?" Zoey crossed her arms.
"I just want you to find someone soon. Otherwise, you'll always be around me. When will you ever get married like that!" Willow pretended to be disdainful.
"Then give me the card. I'll rent a place to live now," Zoey said with determination.
"No way. I'm worried you'll be swindled by others. If you can't find a husband, I'll take care of you."
Hearing this, Zoey pouted as she couldn't beat Willow in this verbal showdown.
Sherry was laughing uncontrollably on the side.
At that moment, Caspian's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Laina.
Immediately, he stood up and walked into the bedroom, where he answered the phone.
"Lord Caspian, I've investigated the matter and found out that King Balthazar has been cursed by the leader of the Three Poisons Hall!" Laina's deep voice came from the other end of the call.
"What? Cursed? Is there such witchcraft?" Caspian was surprised.
It was the first time he had heard that such witchcraft existed.
"At first, I was surprised too, but Jethro said it himself. Last night, he attended the Andrews family's banquet and blurted it out after getting drunk."
"Could this be a trap?"
Caspian felt something was amiss seeing as his subordinate had managed to infiltrate Skyarch Palace so quickly. The people inside were all very smart. They should be on guard.
"I don't think so. The Three Poisons Hall has just suffered heavy losses, and Jethro is in a low mood. Now even the Andrews family doesn't favor him. He's just drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
"Jethro is originally from Rochdale. I've sent someone to investigate there, and indeed, there's witchcraft being practiced there!"
After hearing Laina's words, Caspian was shocked. It turned out Jerry had used such despicable means to deal with Balthazar.
No wonder Balthazar had been acting strangely lately. It turned out that he was under a spell.
