Chapter 507 Regrets


    After hearing what the crowd said, Richard, Nichs, and the Stewarts had a look of realization.


    Thements made sense. It seemed unlikely that Caspian could pretend to be a big shot in a


    situation like this.


    They finally got the feeling that Caspian had to be a powerful figure.


    "Isn''t a senior general the highest military rank in Diatoran? Why does Caspian have five stars on his


    uniform?" Marilyn asked anxiously.


    The crowd immediately gave their responses.


    "It''s not hard to figure that out. Maybe the King of Diatoran awarded him with a special rank!"


    "Either way, who would dare to pretend to be someone they''re not on such an important asion?


    They''d get themselves killed."


    "Didn''t you see what happened just now? General Anderson, a senior general himself, opened the car


    door for Caspian. All the soldiers stood in formation and saluted him!


    "Do you think an ordinary person could receive such treatment? It''s obvious that Caspian holds a


    higher rank than General Anderson."


    Richard, Nichs, and the Stewarts couldn''t find any ws in the crowd''s analysis, so they felt even


    more dread.


    Marilyn was consumed by regret. If she had known Caspian was a powerful figure, she would''ve done


    her best to curry favor with him. Who would''ve thought that the so-called loser would turn out to be a


    big shot?


    She abruptly recalled all the ways the Stewarts used to mock him. If they had treated him with a little


    more kindness, the family would''ve surely soared to impossible heights!


    Marilyn cursed herself for messing up the one-in-a-million opportunity!


    If someone as powerful as him became part of the family, the Stewarts could certainly bask in glory!


    Plus, since he was their matrilocal son-inw, plenty of people would try to butter them up too. The


    family would gain a great deal of prominence and influence in Soutke City.


    Even Kate was feeling nothing but regret. She could''ve had such a powerful son-inw, but she had


    chased him out.


    If she could turn back time, she would''ve definitely done her best to get on Caspian''s good side.


    s, it was toote for regrets.


    Alicia also sighedmentably. She never expected Willow to have such an important figure for a


    husband—one who was even more powerful than a senior general.


    If she had someone like that backing her up, there was no doubt that everyone would try to ingratiate


    themselves with her. In fact, if she had been able to establish a good rtionship with Caspian, she


    would''ve probably been able to do anything she wanted.


    Unfortunately, the family failed to see that Caspian had been hiding his true identity. They had been


    degrading Caspian and Willow all along, and it was toote now. Willow no longer had any ties with the


    Stewart family.


    Simrly, Desmond and all the other Stewarts were stewing in regret. But at the same time, they felt


    fearful. They had ridiculed Caspian more times than they could remember. Would hee after them


    at some point?


    Out of all the Stewarts, Carl was the only one who seemed fairly calm. He and Caspian had a decent


    rtionship, and after learning of Caspian''s true identity, he felt privileged to be rted to him.


    Naturally, Carl wasn''t interested in profiting off his rtionship with Caspian. He simply thought that


    Caspian being a powerful figure was a guarantee that Willow would live a good life.


    As long as Willow was able to have a blissful, carefree life, Carl would have nothing to be worried


    about.


    Truth be told, Carl was extremely d that he had been treating Caspian well all along. He didn''t join


    the other Stewarts when they debased Caspian.


    After knowing that Caspian was an important figure, Richard and Nichs both felt trepidation. They


    had offended such a powerful person. There was no way they could rest easy any longer.


    They were doomed if Caspian came after them.


    Noticing how pale the Stewarts, Richard, and Nichs were now, the crowd began to mock them yet


    again.


    "I bet you there''s something wrong with the brains of everyone in the Stewart family. Don''t you


    remember how grand Caspian and Willow''s wedding was? How could Caspian have arranged all that if


    he was just an ordinary person? But still, they looked down on him."


    "That''s right! That was the grandest wedding in all of Soutke City! Anyone with half a brain could


    deduce that Caspian couldn''t possibly be a nobody. He has to be a big shot! But what did the Stewarts


    do? They chose to cut off all ties with him and Willow."


    "The wedding isn''t the only evidence. Don''t forget about the memorial service Caspian held for his


    adoptive mother. Tens of thousands of soldiers came to pay their respects.


    "Why would they do that if he was merely an ordinary person? But even then, the Stewarts failed to


    realize who he was."


    "I can''t believe how dumb the Stewarts are. Caspian has proven just how powerful he is so many times


    now, but they simply refused to believe him. They even thought he was just pretending! What a bunch


    of dimwits!"


    Everyone thought the Stewarts were a family of idiots.


    Just then, one of the onlookers remarked, "I''m sure the Stewarts didn''t want things to turn out like this.


    You should stop mocking them, guys. Don''t rub salt into their wounds.


    "What if the Stewarts mend their rtionship with Caspian someday? If that happens, we wouldn''t dare


    to offend them. Since that''s the case, you should watch what you say now."


    The onlooker merely gave his opinion in passing, but Marilyn took it to heart. It had given her hope!


    If she could somehow bury the hatchet with Caspian and he and Willow rejoined the Stewart family, the


    family would surely soar to new heights thanks to their rtionship with him.


    When the time came, the Stewart family would be the top elite family in Soutke City—maybe


    even in all of Diatoran!


    "Why are you guys just standing there? Hurry up and apologize to Willow! Make sure you get her


    forgiveness!" Marilyn cried out in a rush as if she had found a lifeline.


    She noticed that Caspian, John, and the others had left. They were heading off to the coastline of


    Soutke City.


    It would be impossible for ordinary people like them to approach Caspian. However, if they managed to


    get Willow''s forgiveness, Caspian would surely forgive them too.


    After all, Caspian had always gone along with Willow''s decisions. Therefore, all they needed to do now


    was fix their rtionship with Willow.


    If they wanted Caspian to let bygones be bygones, they had to convince Willow first!

    Even though the Stewarts were inept in every way, they were the experts when it came to currying


    favor and other sycophantic behavior. Thus, after hearing what Marilyn said, they all got the hint.


    The Stewarts rushed over to Willow, hoping that she could forgive and forget.


    "Willow, I was the one who raised you. How could I possibly bear to cut off all ties with you?" Kate


    hastily dered. "Even though we''re not rted by blood, we''re still mother and daughter. I''ve always


    thought of you as my daughter.


    "I wasn''t myself just now. It was a temporarypse of judgment. That''s why I said those ridiculous


    things. Please don''t take them to heart."


    Alicia also came forward and said with a sincere expression, "Willow, I''ve always thought you were the


    best cousin someone could ever ask for! You''re so beautiful, and you''re even the CEO of apany. If


    only I could be half as aplished as you are.


    "I didn''t mean what I said earlier, so please forget about it. You have to forgive me!"
