Chapter 155 You Are at My Mercy
“Believe me. I’ll lead Southlake Corporation out of this crisis. But I need your help. As long as Stewart Group can take some projects over, Southlake Corporation will definitely have your best interest at heart.” Willow was feeling helpless.
The company was indeed in a critical situation, and her only option was to beg the Stewart family.
“Willow, I suggest that you stop spouting nonsense. In fact, you are not cut out for this position at all. Glorious Group is strong. What are you going to use to fight them?” Donald mocked.
“Do you really want to terminate all the contracts with Southlake Corporation? We have it in black and white. Any party that terminates the agreement has to pay damages for breach of contract,” Willow said.
“The amount is so small. It’s nothing. As long as Stewart Group can work with Glorious Group, the profit would exceed tenfold!” Marilyn said.
Caspian was utterly speechless. He never expected that the Stewart family would choose to end. their collaboration at this crucial moment.
Back then, when Marilyn was begging him for the opportunity, she looked a hell lot of different.
These relatives of Willow had completely broken her heart. They chose to pick this crucial moment to add fuel to the fire.
Willow finally saw her family’s true colors.
Caspian finally spoke out for the first time that evening. He asked, “Have you really thought it through? You really want to end all cooperation with Southlake Corporation?”
“Since when was it your turn to speak out, loser? Stewart Group has already signed a contract with Glorious Group,” Henry said scornfully.
“That’s right. It’s just as Henry said. Our family has chosen to work with Glorious Group,” Marilyn said.
“Caspian, you know you can just stay silent, right? Who gave you the right to speak? Besides, does Southlake Corporation have anything to do with you?”
“Now that Willow’s in trouble, what would a loser like you do to help her?” When Kate heard Willow’s company was going through tough times, she felt infuriated.
And Caspian became her punching bag.

“Will everyone just shut it? I will get through this
me!” Willow said coldly. She immediately stood up “yself. I don’t need any of you to help
and left.
Caspian followed behind her and left Stewart Residence as well.
On their way home, Willow was bawling.
“Willow, why are you crying? I’ll help you settle the problems,” Caspian comforted.
“I’m not crying because of the company. It’s the family. The way they treated us really disappointed me!” Willow cried frustratingly.
“They will definitely regret their actions today,” Caspian said calmly.
Caspian’s words got Willow’s attention. She asked, “Caspian, could it be that you have a way to save Southlake Corporation?”
“I haven’t thought of anything yet. But for now, let’s find someplace to eat. You didn’t get to eat anything just now,” Caspian said.
“Okay.” Willow nodded.
They went to Jade Dragon Grand Hotel–the place where they had their wedding ceremony.
When Caspian and Willow sat down to have their meal, they saw the hotel’s employees standing in two rows at the grand entrance. It looked like they were awaiting the arrival of someone important.
A group of people dressed in expensive clothes entered the hotel.
The person leading the way was someone tall and fat. Behind him were his b*dyguards clad in
black.
person was Greg Norris, the CEO of Glorious Group.
This person
Those trailing behind him were all the managers and cream of the crop of Glorious Group. Some of them were even dignitaries from Southlake City.
Greg was new in town. To expand his business, he had to figure out ways to win over the business tycoons of Southlake City.
Hence, he had invited these important guests over to Jade Dragon Grand Hotel for a banquet.
Caspian saw Belvin among the group.
“Aren’t you Ms. Stewart, the CEO of Southlake Corporation! Nice to meet you!” someone blurted. He was an ex–employee of Southlake Corporation and was surprised to see Willow
there.
Once he finished his sentence, everyb*dy had their eyes on Willow.

Greg saw Willow and admired her pretty figure. He even took a few more glances before walking up to her to greet her. “If it isn’t the No.1 most beautiful woman in Southlake City! It’s
ach a surprise seeing you here!”
“I don’t know you. Please leave!” Willow was already in a foul mood. This person was giving her the creeps. She could not help but feel annoyed.
“Ms. Stewart’s temper sure is fiery! I am Greg Norris, the CEO of Glorious Group,” Greg said while smiling.
Willow and Caspian looked at each other. They did not expect to meet Greg here.
“If there’s nothing else, please leave me alone,” Willow said, feeling rather frustrated.
“I’d like to invite Ms. Stewart to join Glorious Group. What do you think?” Greg said.
“Impossible!” Willow rejected.
“Oh, really? Just wait till I bring down Southlake Corporation. I wonder if you’d still be this arrogant then?” Greg guffawed.
“Why are you buzzing around like a fly? Aren’t you done?” Caspian saw how disrespectful Greg was acting and had to chime in.
He could never get used to people like this.
“You must be that infamous good–for–nothing son–in–law, Caspian?” Greg mocked.
“That’s right!” Caspian said calmly.
“What should we do? I think I like you
wife. How about you let me have her, and I’ll consider
sparing Southlake Corporation?” Greg laughed maniacally.
He had just finished his sentence when a cup was smashed on his forehead.
Greg yelped as he was burned by the boiling water that was inside the cup. He started jumping around in pain.
Caspian was the one who threw the cup onto his face.
Everyone thought Caspian was a pushover, but this was not the case. If anyone disrespected his wife, he would never let that person go.
“Mr. Norris!”
The b*dyguard behind him was shocked by what he had just seen.
Willow did not see that coming as well.
She felt that Caspian had acted recklessly.

Greg even had b*dyguards with him. If they were to start fighting, Willow was worried Caspian would be the one to suffer.
This sudden act of aggression caught everyb*dy off guard.
Caspian went straight for Greg. Nob*dy saw this coming!
With Greg’s current status, your average Joe would never dare to lay a finger on him.
“Caspian, you punk! You dare attack me!” Greg was seething.
The president of Glorious Group was being humiliated by a loser like Caspian in front of
everyone.
“Anyone who dares to touch my wife, there’s only one thing in store for you–death!” Caspian said chillingly.
Do you know who I am? I am the boss of Glorious Group! You must be sick of staying in Southlake City, huh?” Greg yelled.
“So? You’re clearly from Diatoran, and yet you crave that Tigra nationality. Mark my words. If you try to do anything funny in Southlake City, I will make sure to kill you!” Caspian simply retorted.
“You ignorant bastard! I’ll have you punished here in front of everyb*dy!” Greg was livid. The situation became tense instantly.
His b*dyguards had all gone into formation and were ready to strike.
