    “Yes, of course!” Eric hastily cried out. “I’ll leave right away!”


    Ushering his subordinates with a wave of his hand, he quickly scrambled out of the house.


    With a dark expression, Caspian watched as Eric fled. He


    could not be bothered to kill a lowly pawn like Eric.


    Thus, he spared Eric’s life and had him deliver a message to the Masseys. If they continued to engage


    in their shady dealings, he would make them answer to thew!


    Once that was settled, Caspian looked around Cora’s house.


    It was tiny–only around 200 square feet.


    However, the house was a mess. Eric and his men had smashed everything thouaoud hands on, and t


    he ce was in shambles.


    Nearly everything inside the house was broken.

    Flora was crouching in a corner. Clutching her head tightly, she kept mumbling, “Don’t hit me. Don’t hit


    me. I’m scared…”


    “Are you alright, Flora?” Willow asked as she got down beside Flora.


    She wanted to hold Flora tofort her, but Flora was trembling in fear and dared not look at her.


    “Don’t hit me! Don’t hit me!” Flora kept repeating.


    Willow’s heart ached.


    Flora was an intellectually disabled young woman, but the monsters that worked for Eric had beaten he


    r up mercilessly.


    They were entirely inhumane!


    Even animals were capable of caring for others. Those men were cold–blooded murderers!

    “Everything’s fine now, Flora, Your mom asked us to take you to her. We’re her friends, Willow exine


    d as tears pooled in her eyes.


    “Mommy…” Flora cried out. A thought urred to her, and she grew agitated.


    “Where’s Mommy? I want Mommy! I want Mommy!” Flora screamed.


    Cora was her entire world. She had no one but her mother!


    Willow’s heart ached even further.


    ???


    Eric and his men had traumatized Flora. She was still terrified.


    Caspian was also furious.


    Brimming with hostility, he was determined to teach the Masseys a lesson.


    If they tried to follow the steps of Flying Dragons, he was certainly going to wipe them out himself!


    “If


    you want to see your mommy,e with us, okay?” Willow said as she took Flora’s hand.


    Flora had calmed down a little, but she was


    still shaking fearfully. She looked pitiful. Even the slightest movement terrified her.


    “Hubby, I’ll take Flora to the hospital first, and while I’m at it, I’ll check on Madam Upton,” Willow said to


    Caspian.


    “Alright. Go ahead. I’ll make the arrangements at the hospital to ensure


    that Cora and Flora are safe,” Caspian replied.


    “Okay,” Willow said with a nod before leaving with Flora.


    Flora was severely injured, too, so she needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible.


    Once Willow left, Sylvia said, “Lincoln’s got news for us, Caspian.”


    Caspian’s gaze sharpened.


    “Let’s go,” Caspian said.


    He and Sylvia left Blissville.


    The Massey family had undergone a massive change.


    As the family’s power and influence continued to grow, they renovated their home, Massey


    Manor.


    It was now a representation of the Massey family’svish lifestyle.


    Apart from Caspian and Willow’s Riverside Vi, Massey Manor was probably the most extravagant res


    idence in Soutke City.


    Arge team of bodyguards patrolled thepound at all times.


    The Massey family made sure that security was tight. No one could enter without permission.


    Inside the living room, a woman in her 20s was lying on the couch, looking rxed and


    satisfied.


    She kept barking orders to the maids beside her.


    The woman was Jessica Massey, the oldest granddaughter of the Massey family. Following the rise of t


    he Massey family’s standing, many showed her a great deal of respect as well.


    As Jessica reveled in smugness, she suddenly thought of someone–Willow.


    Although the Masseys had elevated their social standing, Jessica was still inferior to Willow. She could


    not even hold a candle to thetter.


    That thought made Jessica seethe with rage.


    Why did she have to be worse off than Willow? Sooner orter, she would


    be even more powerful than Willow!


    Meanwhile, the man beside Jessica was smoking an expensive cigar with a simrly self- satisfied expr


    ession.


    He was Jessica’s husband, Kevin Copnd.


    His family, the Copnds, were also benefiting from the Massey family’s continued growth. They even


    managed to work their way into the upper echelon of society in Eastcove.


    “Darling, our businesses keep growing. If this continues, we might be making 100 million. dors in prof

    He behaved agreeably around his wife. After all, it was thanks to the Masseys that the Copnds got to


    It would be bad for Kevin and his family if he displeased Jessica.


    Thus, he was always careful around her.


    “It’s just 100 million dors. What’s there to be excited about? You’re so naive and shortsighted,”


    Jessica indifferently remarked as she nced at Kevin.


    She had little regard for him.


    Even though she was married, men were lining up to woo her. She was a hotmodity right


    now.


    “Yes, you’re right. It’s only 100 million dors,” Kevin quickly agreed with a meek expression. He dared n

    The Masseys owed their rapid growth to their illegal businesses.


    Everything they had came from shady dealings, such as being loan sharks.


    They dabbled in every line of business that made a quick buck and did not care whether it


    broke thew.


    “Who hasn’t paid us back yet? If they haven’t, make sure they’re taught a lesson! Let’s see who can take
