Chapter 134 I Will Have My Revenge
“Dad, you gotta help me out! I can’t possibly just let Caspian disrespect me like this! He even wanted me to apologize to Stephanie! Doing that would just be basically admitting that Lana attempted suicide because of me. You can’t just let him disrespect us!” said Jeremy.
“Well said,” praised Belvin.
“Honey, we need to teach that good–for–nothing Caspian a lesson to avenge our son. Or else he might start to think that we’re easy prey and continue to bully Jeremy,” Bailey chimed in.
Jeremy continued, “That’s right! I’m fine with being beaten up and all. But your reputation might be at stake here!”
“I’ll need to investigate something before I teach him a lesson,” answered Belvin.
He hadn’t yet known of Caspian’s true identity.
But even he could tell that Caspian wasn’t just any ordinary person.
Bailey was annoyed. “What’s there to worry about? That Caspian guy is just some good–for- nothing punk!”
“Shut up! What do you know? Just let me handle this on my own,” scolded Belvin.
Meanwhile, back at the Riverside Villa, Caspian was lying on the sofa when he suddenly remembered that the villa had multiple hidden cameras installed.
They were installed as safety measures against theft.
He suddenly realized he could find out what happened to Lilith inside the house.
He poured through the recorded footage and saw that Lilith was welcomed for the first few days when she arrived. However, Kate quickly grew bossy and started making things difficult
for Lilith.
Lilith seemed compliant even while Kate started treating her worse and worse. Kate would often leave the trash around the floor and even had Lilith wash her feet.
Caspian was furious as he witnessed his foster mother being treated like a maid around the house by Kate. He had initially brought Lilith here to live a better life.
As he went through the footage, Caspian saw that Lilith was kicked out of the house by Kate on the night that she was killed.
He finally came to a realization as to why Kate was behaving sheepishly and even left the villa on her own accord. He had always suspected that a greedy woman like her had something to

He became enraged as he had never expected that there had been an attempt at covering up the reason for Lilith’s death.
Worse of all was the fact that Willow had willingly helped Kate to hide the truth from him.
He started to lose his patience and headed toward her room.
Willow had just finished showering and was eager to have some alone time with Caspian after Zoey had left.
Her anticipation was shattered as Caspian barged into her room.
She jumped up in surprise and pouted. “What are you doing? You should’ve knocked.”
She misunderstood his actions and thought that he was pretty cute for already taking the initiative to liven up the night.
Willow soon realized that Caspian’s eyes contained nothing but anger.
Caspian stared at her dead in the eye and asked, “Why was my mom at Riverside Park on the night she was killed?”
It was the first time he spoke so coldly toward her. He had always accepted everything Willow dished out at him, but he couldn’t accept that she had been hiding the truth of what happened
to Lilith from him.
She was stunned by the sudden interrogation from Caspian.
She trembled in fear as she looked into his cold gaze.
Willow wasn’t a fool and quickly realized that the goody two shoes before her had good reason to be furious. “Did you find out something?”
“Answer my question!”
He just wanted to know why Willow had been hiding such a crucial matter from him.
She lowered her head and answered, “My mom had kicked Madam Ziegler out of the house that night.”
She figured that Caspian must’ve already seen the events of that night.
She realized she couldn’t hide the truth from him any longer.
“Why did you never tell me about this upon my return from South Aridlands?” shouted Caspian.
“I was afraid that you might fly into a rage and hurt my mom, so …”
Willow’s voice trembled, and she started trailing off.
She felt guilty about it ever since the day he returned home.

“I might have forgiven Mrs. Stewart if you had told me the truth right away. But now, I’ll have to kill her to avenge my mother.”
He then turned to leave the room.
Willow was startled as she knew better than anyone that once Caspian vowed revenge, he would seek an eye for an eye against all who wronged him.
He had killed so many since he started avenging Lilith. Kate would just be one more target among the pile of bodies.
She hurried after him and hugged him from the back.
“Caspian, please! Spare my mom!” begged Willow.
“she a part in my mother’s death and had been hiding the truth from me. There’s no
way I could possibly forgive her.”
“But she’s my mother, and she’s also your mother–in–law! Please, Caspian, give her a chance, for my sake!”
“Unlike you, I don’t have any reason not to kill her,” answered Caspian.
“Caspian, please. This is my one and only request. Please spare my mother.”
Willow tried to beg for Kate’s life, knowing that Caspian had a soft spot for her–his own wife.
Caspian was furious. “My mom wouldn’t have died if Mrs. Stewart never kicked her out of the house! Why are you still defending her actions?”
Kate had long been disrespectful toward Caspian, but he never held a grudge against her.
Before he left for South Aridlands, he had specifically instructed Willow to take care of Lilith so that Kate wouldn’t bully her, but it seemed that his words fell on deaf ears.
Willow held tightly onto him and pleaded, “Because, at the end of the day, she’s still my mom! What else could I possibly do? It’s my fault that I couldn’t protect Madam Ziegler from her. If you want revenge, take my life instead!”
Caspian was upset upon hearing Willow willingly take on the blame for Kate.
He felt bad that she was willing to bear all of Kate’s faults.
“This has nothing to do with you! It’s Mrs. Stewart’s fault alone, and I will have my revenge, shouted Caspian.
He didn’t blame Willow for all of this, as she was also often out of the house for work.
But he couldn’t possibly forgive Kate for picking on Lilith, all while having her ugly face

Willow continued to persuade him. “You can’t possibly blame my mom for all that happened, Caspian. Madam Ziegler used to be part of the
Girl Scouts, remember?
“She always had a great sense of justice within her. She would’ve reached out to help out those in need regardless of whether my mom had kicked her out on that night!”
She continued, “It was simply her fate.”
