    Chapter 288 It’s All True


    As Kelsie stared at the three men who were on their knees, the situation finally dawned on her.


    “What…” She gasped as her eyes widened. She could not ept what was happening.


    Had Caspian been telling the truth?


    But how could Willow be the CEO of Soutke Corporation?


    “Bitch, why are you just standing here? Get on your knees and apologize to Ms. Stewart!”


    Bernard snarled at Kelsie.


    Atst, he realized why Lincoln feared Caspian and Willow.


    It turned out that Willow was the CEO of Soutke Corporation!


    Kelsie froze from shock for a brief moment before kneeling. She was trembling uncontrobly, and her


    mind went nk.


    All of Willow’s old high school ssmates were stunned as well. None of


    them expected Willow to actually be the CEO of Soutke Corporation.


    Just minutes ago, they had all mocked her in some form.


    “Didn’t you say you were going to expose us, Fritz? Why are you on your knees now?” Caspian asked t


    auntingly.


    “You bastard! How dare you say such things to Mr. Lynch?” Geoffrey growled in rage as he red at Fri


    tz.


    Fritz had messed up badly this time, and Geoffrey had been dragged down with him.


    While it was true that Geoffrey


    was in charge of Soutke Corporation’s branch office, he was nothingpared to Willow. She could


    fire him at the drop of a hat.


    “Uncle Geoffrey…” Fritz mumbled. He did not know what to say.


    How could he have believed that Willow was the CEO of Soutke Corporation?


    If he had known her true identity, he would never have messed around!


    At this moment, Fritz finally realized what a clown he had been.


    Caspian and Willow must have been amused by the way he pretended to be a big shot in front


    of the others.


    “Don’t call


    me your uncle! From now on, I no longer recognize you as my nephew!” Geoffrey grimly dered.


    Fritz slumped onto the floor.


    Even though he returned to the country after furthering his studies abroad, he only managed to be


    a manager in Soutke Corporation’s branch office because of Geoffrey.


    If Geoffrey severed ties with him, his bright future would go up in mes.


    “Ms. Stewart, Mr. Lynch, it’s my fault for not educating this bastard properly. Please have mercy and for


    give us just this once,” Geoffrey pleaded.


    Caspian and Willow were the reasons why he managed to head the branch office.


    “Ms. Stewart, Mr. Lynch, I was blind and ignorant. Please ignore what I said and give me another chanc


    e,” Fritz begged through his tears as well.


    If he got fired, he would never be able to get a job in apany as good as Soutke


    Corporation.


    Fritz knew that if Willow and Caspian did not forgive him, he would be done for.


    Looking at the three men, Caspian shook his head. Initially, he did not intend to get into a conflict with t


    hese people, but he did not expect a simple meal to lead to all this trouble.


    “You can deal with them, hubby. I won’t get involved,” Caspian turned to Willow and said.


    “You should handle the matter instead, hubby. I don’t want to deal with this either. I just wanted to have


    a meal with everyone, but after everything that happened, I don’t want to stay here anymore,” Willow re


    plied.


    All along, Willow had been a strong and assertive career woman.


    But now,


    she had grown reliant on Caspian. Whenever he was around, she felt at ease and did not have to worry


    about anything.


    Caspian eyed Bernard, Geoffrey, and Fritz.


    His sharp gaze made them lower their heads in trepidation.


    “Report to Lincoln yourself, Bernard. I’ll leave the punishment to him,” Caspian said calmly.


    “Understood, Mr. Lynch!” Bernard replied before exhaling in relief.


    Fortunately for him, Caspian and Willow were not deeply angered. Otherwise, he would not be able to s


    tay in Soutke City.


    Caspian’s eyes t


    on Geoffrey.


    Sensing the tension in the air, Geoffrey quickly said, “I’ll ept any punishment, Mr. Lynch!”


    “Geoffrey, you abused your power by bringing your nephew into thepany. Technically, should be fir


    ed for such misconduct. However, you’ve contributed to the establishment of


    you


    Caspian continued, “As a warning, you’ll


    be removed from your position as the head of the branch office for one month and be penalized a mont


    h’s sry as well. I hope you’ll take the time to reflect on your actions. You’ll be reinstated after one mo


    nth.


    “Thank you, Mr. Lynch. Thank you, Ms. Stewart,” Geoffrey said as he slowly exhaled.


    Thankfully, it was a light punishment.


    He did not mind it at all–as long as he could continue working for Soutke Corporation.


    Meanwhile, Caspian rose from his feet.


    “Shall we go, Willow?” Caspian asked gently.


    “Okay,” Willow replied with a nod.


    Caspian took Willow’s hand and led her out of the room.


    This time, no one dared to stop them.


    Everyone was dumbstruck.


    They could hardly believe that Willow was the CEO of Soutke Corporation.


    A few of them knew that she was working at thepany, but no one expected her to be the


    CEO!


    “Goodbye, Ms. Stewart, Mr. Lynch!” Geoffrey called out respectfully.


    Once they were gone, he finally stood up.

    Not keen to stick around any longer, the rest of the ssmates left as well.


    “Uncle Geoffrey…” Fritz called out with a resentful expression.


    “You bastard! You’re fired! You can work anywhere you want. Just don’te to the branch office anym


    Fritz’s heart sank. It had not been easy for him to be the supervisor at the branch office, but now, it


    Most importantly, Geoffrey no longer acknowledged Fritz as his nephew. Fritz knew he was going to hav

    “Stop bothering me, you bitch! From now onward, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Don’


    Overwhelmed with regret, he needed to see Lincoln and receive his punishment.


    “Bernard, you bastard! How can you cast me aside after getting me into bed?” Kelsie wailed..


    When the other ssmates who left after Caspian and Willow arrived at the entrance, they spotted the


    Two minutester, a Rolls–Royce pulled up in front of Caspian and Willow.


    “The car’s fixed, Caspian. There shouldn’t be any more problems. Please take your seats,” Sylvia said a


    She had immediately rushed over after getting the car fixed.


    Caspian nodded before getting into the back seat with Willow.


    After seeing this, Willow’s ssmates realized that Willow and Caspian had been telling the


    truth earlier.


    Not only did they have a car, but it was even such an expensive one!
