    Chapter 13 Buying Over Soutke Corporation


    Momentster, the Stewarts finally regained their senses. Then, they burst outughing.


    “Has he lost his mind? Holding his wedding on the same day as Mr. Richard! He’s going to humiliate


    himself!”


    “A grand wedding, huh? He’s not only a loser but also a show-off. I can’t get why Willow likes him.”


    “Look. His clothes have faded due to frequent washing. Yet he boasts about holding a wedding a


    thousand times grander than Alicia’s!”


    “Willow, I really don’t understand what you see in him. You know what? I think you should divorce him.


    The sooner, the better. You have so many admirers. Pick anyone, and they’ll surpass this loser easily.” 1


    Willow’s expression darkened as she listened to her family’s jeers. She wanted nothing but to shut


    Caspian up.


    She was furious after listening to his bragging. “Caspian, why would you brag about having a grand


    wedding? Can you please be more practical?


    “I never knew you were such a show-off! You’re enjoying the moment, no doubt. But have you thought


    about how humiliated I’ll feel when the timees?”


    But then, he gazed straight into her eyes. His gaze was solemn and passionate. “Honey, I’m not


    bragging.


    I’ll walk the talk. When the timees, I’ll ensure you be Soutke City’s happiest bride.”


    She was immediately stunned. Caspian sounded sincere. It didn’t seem like he was boasting.


    Willow could feel his determination when she met his gaze. She chose to believe everything he said.


    “Okay. I believe you.” She didn’t even know why.


    Maybe it was because of his firm gaze. Or it could also be because of his heartfelt confession.


    “Alright then. Let’s do it this way. Let’s have our wedding at the same time that day. Then we’ll know


    whose marriage is more morous,” Alicia suggested.


    “Alright. Willow will surely have a memorable wedding on the 30th,” said Caspian.


    “Deal. You’d better not bail on Willow at thest minute!” Alicia imagined them feeling embarrassed on


    her wedding day. She couldn’t help but scoff.


    “Cas… Caspian Lynch, right? What if you fail to keep your promise?” Marilyn abruptly asked.


    +15 BOND”


    “Weren’t you guys egging us on to divorce? If I fail to keep my promise, I’ll break up with Willow and


    leave Soutke City altogether,” he said.


    “Sure. Everyone here is a witness. No one forced you to say that. When the timees, I hope you’ll


    keep


    your promise.”


    Marilyn had always considered the daughters of the Stewart family as alliance tools. They were born to


    help the Stewart family ally with other elite families through marriage.


    After Willow and Caspian divorced, she would take Willow’s marriage into her own hands. She would


    then let her marry a young man from a reputable elite family in Soutke City.


    “Don’t worry. I will,” Caspian promised.


    “You heard him, Willow. Are you sure you’re leaving the Stewart Residence with such a boastful loser?”

    Marilyn asked.


    “Yes, I am!” Willow was enraged, too. She didn’t even hesitate.


    “Alright. That’s your choice. As the head of the Stewart family, I’ll retract all of Willow’s shares in Stewart


    Group. I’ll consider returning them to you after you’ve cleared your mind and divorced this loser,” Marilyn


    said coldly.


    Silence followed. Who could’ve expected Marilyn to banish Willow from Stewart Group?


    Willow had her ownpany, but without Stewart Group’s support, herpany would probably fail to


    attract any business.


    She was stunned. She started her ownpany, but she had also been helping out at Stewart Group all


    these years.


    But now, Marilyn decided to cast her out just because she wasn’t pleased with her husband.


    “I hope you won’t regret it. After this, you’d better not beg Willow and me for help,” said Caspian calmly.


    “The Stewart family, begging you for help! You’re delusional!” Marilyn scoffed.


    Marilyn was worried. Willow could always use her identity to withdraw money from Stewart Group. Thus,


    Willow might use that money for the wedding. That was why she froze Willow’s shares.


    That was also why she chose to drive Willow out of Stewart Group. Firstly, it was to protect Stewart


    Group’s property. Secondly, it could also cut off a great amount of Willow’s ie.


    “You’re kidding us, Caspian. You haven’t taken your pills today, I assume. Why would we beg a loser like


    you for help?” retorted Henry.


    “Nonsense. You’re just a loser. There’s no way we’d beg you. You’re worth nothing to us! Now, get lost!”


    Alicia mocked him.


    They were delighted to see Willow being driven out of Stewart Group.


    Thus, Stewart Group would be theirs in the future.


    They had been conspiring about how to drive her out of thepany and the family. But now, they didn’t


    have to do anything. Willow was already eliminated.


    “Willow, let’s go.” Caspian didn’t want to waste his time on them. He tugged Willow, who was gaping, and


    left.


    “Scram! I hate people who keep showing off but are really incapable!” Marilyn’s harsh words came from


    behind.


    They had already stepped out of the gates when Willow came back to her senses.


    “Caspian, you can always tell me if you want to break up. Why must you stir up trouble during the


    banquet and humiliate me?” Willow asked furiously.


    Caspian was stunned. “I don’t intend to break up.”


    “Well, why did you make that bet with my grandmother then? And before my family, too,” she asked.


    “Because I’m sure I’ll win.”


    “Now there’s only the two of us. Stop pretending. I’m now your wife since we’ve already gotten our


    marriage certificates. I have some savings left for you to organize the wedding. I don’t want you to feel


    embarrassed!”


    “Don’t worry, honey. I’ll keep my word!” Caspian’s eyes were again full of determination.


    Willow remembered the 12 million dors he invested in herpany. Could he really be the lucky


    winner


    of the 15 million dors?


    If he was, he should still have three million dors. (1)


    That should be enough for a wedding.


    At that thought, she asked, “Let’s go home… Where do you live?”


    “Let’s go to your house, honey. I’m renting, and the house is too small.” Caspian scratched his head and


    “You…” She shook her head resignedly. Then, she sighed. “Hop on.”


    He got into the car with a smile. Then, he texted Sylvia.


    “There are two things to be done. Firstly, Willow and I will have a wedding on the 30th of this month. It


    must leave the entire Soutke City in awe.


    “Secondly, buy over Soutke Corporation on my behalf by tonight. I’ll take over the duties as the CEO


    tomorrow.”
