Chapter 18 The Person They Offended Was Me

Kate and Willow were both shocked when Caspian suddenly took action.

“What are you doing… L-Let go!” Nicholas’ face contorted in pain.

“Are you deaf? Willow already refused you. I don’t mind breaking your legs if you continue to pester my

wife!” Caspian said calmly.

Even Willow had never seen Caspian display such resolve before. He even dared to confront Nicholas!

“You worthless bastard! How dare you raise a hand against Mr. Nicholas? Are you tired of living? Hurry

up and release him!” Taken aback, Kate yelled furiously.

“No matter what, I’m still Willow’s husband. Why are you siding with him instead?” Caspian asked

irritatedly.

“Mr. Nicholas is the son-in-law that I favor. As for you, you’re not worthy to be with Willow! Apologize to

Mr. Nicholas quickly, or you’ll regret it!” Kate replied.

Caspian’s heart sank. Resolving a bastard like Nicholas using brute force didn’t seem meaningful. He let

go of Nicholas’ hand.

However, both Willow and Kate thought that Caspian had been intimidated by Nicholas’ status.

“If you have any self-awareness left, you should leave Willow immediately. You can’t provide her with an

upper-class life!” Kate insisted.

“We’re only a few days away from the 30th. Why are you in such a hurry? If I can’t give Willow an

exceptionally grand wedding on that day, I’ll leave her then,” Caspian replied.

“Why do you need to do something so unnecessary? In the end, you’re just a broke man filled with lies!”

Kate retorted.

“I’ll fulfill everything that I’ve said on the day of the wedding,” Caspian said indifferently. 1

Kate simply couldn’t be bothered with Caspian. Turning toward Nicholas instead, she asked, “Mr.

Nicholas, did this good-for-nothing hurt you?”

“Mrs. Stewart, I didn’t expect this guy to be so rough. My arm almost broke!” Although there were

countless grievances in Nicholas’ heart, he did not dare say anything further. After all, he did not feel that

he was a match for Caspian in terms of strength.

“He’s all brawn and no brain. Don’t take it to heart.” Kate consoled him.

“Willow is destined to have an unhappy life if she marries a worthless guy like him. Mrs. Stewart, you’re

well aware of my family background.

“As long as Willow agrees to marry me, the Stewart family can easily collaborate with the Southlake

Corporation when the time comes,” Nicholas said.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Nicholas. I’ll continue to persuade Willow. You should keep the diamond ring for now,”

Kate replied.

She picked up the ring from the ground and placed it in Nicholas’ palm.

Paying no attention to Caspian, she continued to persuade Willow patiently.

“Willow, your grandma wouldn’t have taken away your shares in the Stewart Group if it wasn’t for this

good -for-nothing.

“Your future will be bright as long as you marry Mr. Nicholas. Everyone in the Stewart family will look up

to you then!”

Resigned, Caspian left the hall. Walking toward his house, he dialed Miranda’s phone.

Miranda did not dare to ignore Caspian’s call. Picking it up immediately, she asked, “What can I do for

you, Mr. Lynch?”

“From now on, cut off all of our collaborations with the Archer family!” Caspian ordered.

Surprised, Miranda couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Lynch, why the sudden-”

“No particular reason. It’s just that Nicholas Archer has made a mistake. He’s offended the wrong

person! ” he replied indifferently.

Miranda was taken aback. Why were all these wealthy scions so idle?

Caspian had consecutively terminated their cooperation with three major families. There would be

significant losses for the projects Southlake Corporation was involved in.

“Mr. Lynch, we have numerous ongoing projects with the Archer family. The sudden termination of our

cooperation will lead to tremendous losses. This may not be an appropriate decision,” Miranda

explained.

Naturally, she had the company’s profits in mind.

No matter what, she was still the vice president of Southlake Corporation. She had to consider the

company’s well-being.

“You talk too much. Just do as I say. Don’t worry about the losses!” Caspian stated indisputably.

As the ruler of Diatoran, money had all but lost meaning to him. It was nothing but cold numbers.

By kicking out the Archer family, Willow would have room to maneuver the company when she applied

for the job later on.

“Understood, Mr. Lynch. I’ll handle it right away,” Miranda said. She did not dare to say anything more.

“Also, tell the Archer family that the losses they incur are all because Nicholas offended the wrong

person! “Caspian instructed.

“Understood!” she replied.

Just as Nicholas was about to pester Willow again in the living room, he received a phone call. It was

from the head of the Archer family, his grandfather-Lawrence Archer.

“What’s wrong, Grandpa? Did something happen?” Nicholas asked.

“You rascal, what have you done? Which important figure did you offend?” Lawrence asked furiously.

Nicholas was confused. It was the first time he had seen his grandfather so furious. Perplexed, he

replied, “I haven’t offended anyone. What’s going on?”

“The vice president of Southlake Corporation called me personally. She told me that the company was

halting all collaborations with our family because you offended someone you shouldn’t have!” Lawrence

said sternly.

“Is that so? Grandpa, I didn’t offend anyone. I’m busy proposing to Willow from the Stewart family right

now!” Nicholas explained urgently.

Both Kate and Willow were shocked upon hearing Lawrence’s voice.

Even the Archer family had been kicked out of Southlake Corporation’s projects!

After the Stewart and Hudson families had their cooperation terminated, it was now the Archer family’s

turn.

Not only were the notices given suddenly, but even the reason for the sudden termination was the same.

Had all these scions offended the same person?

“Return home immediately! Southlake Corporation’s decision has caused our family to lose over 60

million!” Lawrence was overcome with anger.

“Alright. I’ll go back right away.” Nicholas was taken aback. 60 million was a staggering figure!

“I’m sorry. I have something to attend to right now. I’ll be leaving first,” Nicholas said as he hung up the

call.

“Go ahead, Mr. Nicholas. Don’t forget to propose to Willow personally on the 30th. By then, Willow

would’ve definitely kicked that good-for-nothing to the curb,” Kate said as she followed Nicholas out.

“We’ll talk about it then,” Nicholas replied with a wave of his hand.

With no further reason to stay behind, Kate left Willow’s house along with Nicholas.

Willow couldn’t help but feel relieved when she saw both of them leave. She knocked on the bedroom

door.

Hearing the sound, Caspian opened the door.

“You already know what happened just now. I had no idea about the situation just now, Willow still felt the

need to explain to him.

tter.” Thinking back to the

“It’s okay. You don’t need to explain it. I understand.” Caspian knew that Willow was placed in a difficult

situation.

“You bragged that you would give me the grandest wedding ever. It’s already become a hot topic

throughout the city. I hope you keep your word. Don’t disappoint me on that day,” Willow said.

“Trust me, Willow. I’ll definitely make you the happiest bride in Southlake City on the day of our wedding!”

Caspian said determinedly.

“Who would’ve thought that the newly appointed CEO of Southlake Corporation would consecutively

terminate cooperation with several major families when they just stepped in today? Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Moreover, the reason for the termination was all because they offended someone they shouldn’t have.

Who exactly did they offend? How does this person have such a great influence?”

Compared to the wedding, Willow was more curious about the company.

“It’s me,” Caspian said calmly.
