Chapter 347 Choosing a Scapegoat
After hearing what Saul said, Jessica and Kevin exchanged nces. They quickly stopped in their tracks
.
“Go on. Tell me what happened. Why did you two rush over here to see me?” Saul asked
after sipping his coffee.
“I have bad news, Dad! Caspian and Willow are back.”
saul froze. He knew who Caspian was, of course.
All kinds of rumors about Caspian abounded in Soutke City, and no one knew which ones
were true.
Meanwhile, Willow was the CEO of Soutke Corporation, and if the Masseys wanted to be the top
elite family in Soutke City, they could not afford to offend Willow.
Saul soon regained hisposure and remarked coolly, “It’s not at all surprising that they’re back. Why a
re you so flustered?”
Lately, Caspian and Willow had been making numerous trips to other ces.
Even though Saul did not know where they went, it was said that Caspian had been seen in ces like N
aporia and Easton. He had even gotten entangled with numerous other powerful figures.
Saul did not pay any attention to those rumors.

Though he did not know who Caspian truly was, he was certain Caspian was not as useless as he was s
aid to be.
Noticing Saul’s indifference, Jessica hastily reported to Saul, “Dad! That’s not all! Caspian and Willow sa
w Diego beating someone up, and they took him away!”
“What did you say?”
Saul could not keep his cool any longer. He leaped to his feet at once.
All along, no one ever found out about the Massey family’s shady dealings.
Naturally, none of the family members would openly admit to being loan sharks or running casinos. Thes
e were not things to be proud of.
But now, Caspian and Willow had witnessed Diego beating someone up. It meant that the Masseys‘ illeg
al businesses would be exposed.
The family would get into serious trouble if the authorities investigated them!
“What gives Caspian the right to seize one of our people? Also, does this mean our loan shark business
has been exposed?” Saul questioned worriedly.
His anxiety was unsurprising to Jessica. She had also reacted in fear when she found out about
the situation.
The Masseys hadmitted many crimes. If word were to get out, the authorities would undoubtedly inv
estigate them.
“This is a tricky situation. If they had taken Diego, they might’ve handed him to the authorities. He would’
ve spilled the beans on everything. This means trouble for the entire family!” Saul eximed as the color
drained out of his face.
Initially, Saul was unbothered by such matters. After all, he and the Stewarts were tied together by marria
ge, and Willow was his niece. With Soutke Corporation to back he had nothing to fear.
him un up,
But ever since the Yorks and Flying Dragons were eradicated, the rumors about Caspian
kept multiplying.
Many said he was an important figure, and some imed he was the one behind the massacres of the Y
orks and Flying Dragons.
If that were true, Caspian was a terrifyingly powerful person.
And, if he were toe after the Masseys, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Nevertheless, Saul did not know if the rumors were true.
“We didn’t expect this either, Dad! Who would’ve thought that bastard Diego would run into Caspian and
Willow of all people–and even end up in their hands!” Jessicamented.
Saul tried his best to calm down. As the one who managed the family, he could not panic.
Otherwise, the Masseys could be truly done for.
He had to think of a way to ensure the family came out of this unscathed.
“Don’t panic. There’s bound to be a way for us to resolve this crisis. We’ve only just started building up o
ur foundations. I’m sure we’ll brave through this,” Saul said solemnly.
His goal was
no longer to be the top family in Soutke City. First of all, he needed to find a way to keep everyo
ne alive.
If he could not even do that, there was no point in dreaming about achieving anything else.
“So what should we do now, Dad?” Jessica asked impatiently.
This was the most difficult crisis she ever had to deal with.
“Rx. We still have people we can count on. Don’t forget about the Stewarts. We’re rted to them by
marriage, and Willow’s the CEO of Soutke Corporation. She can turn the situation around with a snap
of her fingers,” Saul dered.
“Maybe all we need to do is ask your
Aunt Kate for help, and the entire situation will blow over. Considering our rtionship, it’s perfectly reas
onable to ask Willow to step in and help us, right?”
So what if Willow and Caspian were powerful people?
At the end of the day, Willow was a Stewart, and Caspian was the Stewart family’s matrilocal
son–inw.
Saul figured that if he got his younger sister Kate to say a few words, Caspian and Willow would have to
do whatever Kate said.
“Dad, are you sure Aunt Kate will help us?” Jessica asked.
She did not know how the situation would go. Would Kate be willing to help the Masseys?
“Don’t worry. I know what she’s like. She’s a proud woman who cares a lot about her reputation, and she’s
with a chuckle.
As Kate’s brother, he understood her well.
All he had to do was make a trip to Stewart Residence and put on a pitiful disy. As long as he said the
straight.
”
“We still need a backup n,” Saul continued. “If the authorities do catch onto us, we have to find a scape
If they had a scapegoat, it didn’t matter if Caspian or the authorities came after them.
To protect the family, they needed to find someone they could pin all the me on.
“Dad! We already have a crisis on our hands. How are we going to find a scapegoat on such short notice?
As soon as she finished speaking, both she and Saul looked at Kevin, who had been standing in
silence the whole time.
Their gazes made Kevin bristle.
He was only a son–in–
If things got serious, he could simply divorce Jessica to save his own skin.
