The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 9

ising to her feet, Willow straightened her coat and skirt. Then, she handed him a wet tissue.

Caspian couldn’t understand her intention. Why did she abruptly give him a wet tissue?”

She noticed he was feeling curious, and her cheeks burned. “Take a look at yourself in the mirror. There’s l*pstick on your face. Hurry up and wipe it off. What will the others think if they see that?”

Then, she unlocked the office door and went out.

Caspian’s gaze followed her alluring figure as she left. He couldn’t help but feel joyful.

He had a sudden thought. “This must be a blessing in disguise.”

It was a very lovely blessing, indeed.

In the office, everyone was gossiping in whispers even though they seemed busy.

A heated discussion revolved around the same topic. Everyone was talking about the relationship

between Caspian, Melanie, and Bobby.

“You know what I think? I’m sure Melanie dumped Caspian for Bobby. You guys saw it, too, didn’t you?

Melanie and Bobby came to work arm in arm!”

Another said, “That’s for sure! Listen to me. Did none of you realize? Melanie has been using branded

goods recently. She changed her attire, handbags, and cell phone.

“That loser, Caspian, can’t afford all those. Did you notice? The cell phone she’s using costs 2000 dollars.

Caspian won’t be able to get one even if he starves for three months!”

Someone else said, “He deserves it. He’s so broke. Why would he marry such a gorgeous woman like

Melanie? He sure as hell can’t afford her expenses.

“It’s well known that beautiful women face more temptations in society. He’s too poor for her. She just

has to find herself a loaded man.”

Every word they said expressed how scornful they were of Caspian.

Thomas was standing before a mirror. He hummed a tune as he wiped the blood trickling from his nose.

He had his career all thought out. He had accomplished the task Bobby assigned him.

Bobby had also achieved his objective. He won over the beauty he had eyes for.

After this, Bobby would surely put in a word or two for him before his father, David Mason.

David was a manager. So, Thomas would have a bright future ahead of him in the company.

Then, if he could win Willow’s favor, he might just take over the company!

As for Caspian? Whatever!

He was just a loser.

It served him well to get dumped by his own wife. It was his fault for not being able to pay for Melanie’s

expenses.

He thought he had absolutely nothing to do with their divorce.

After all, there wouldn’t be smoke without a fire. If their relationship was strong, how would Bobby come

in between them?

To him, Caspian deserved this ending.

He deserved to be Thomas’ stepping stone as he climbed the corporate ladder.

Thomas fumed inwardly, “I didn’t expect him to have the guts to hit me, though. Fuck! I won’t let it slide so

Just then, he heard the sound of a folder slapping against a table.
