Chapter 206 You Can’t Kill Mel
The special forces members soon drove into Southlake Cemetery and brought Kate toward Lilith’s tombstone.
Kate was horrified when she realized who the tombstone belonged to.
“Why did you bring me here? Who are you people?”
She still had no idea what her kidnappers wanted from her.
One of the men answered, “Just shut your mouth and wait.”
She started recalling the night she had kicked Lilith out of the house as she stared at the tombstone.
Her guilty conscience rendered her unable to look straight at the tombstone.
Soon after, Sylvia and Macy also arrived at the cemetery.
Kate smiled as she recognized one of the women coming out of the car.

She ran out of the car and shouted, “Save me, Sylvia! They’re kidnapping me!”
Sylvia was at a loss for words as she couldn’t possibly rescue someone she was tasked to capture.
Kate ran up to Sylvia and said, “Sylvia, don’t you recognize me? I’m Willow’s mother! And I’m also Caspian’s mother–in–law! Save me, please!”
Sylvia coldly replied, “Please calm down. They won’t hurt you. Just sit tight and be patient.”
Suddenly, a Ferrari entered the cemetery’s compounds as well.
Kate took a closer look and realized that it belonged to Caspian.
She seemingly became hopeful again as she realized that Caspian had arrived.
Caspian parked the car by the side and slowly got out of his car.
Kate rushed toward him while shouting, “Save me, Caspian! They’re kidnapping me!”
She had already forgotten about being slapped by Caspian just moments prior. She had to beg him for help now so that she could escape back to safety.
“They’re just following my orders,” answered Caspian.
“What? Why, Caspian? Why would you do this?” asked the horrified Kate.
“I have questions that only you can answer. Tell me, why did you hit Willow? Why do you treat her so badly? Is she really your own daughter?”

Kate panicked for a moment but quickly composed herself.
“What are you talking about? Of course, Willow’s my own daughter!”
Caspian, however, had already noticed a hint of hesitation and panic in her eyes.
He was certain that Kate wasn’t telling the truth.
“So why do you treat her so badly? You’re already cruel enough to not help her when she needs it. Why go so far as to even humiliate her in public?” asked Caspian.
He couldn’t believe that a mother would only see her own children as mere tools.
“What are you talking about? I’m just teaching her a lesson! I had to re–educate her for trying to break ties with the family just because she’s now successful and can fend for herself! She’s ungrateful!” explained Kate.
Caspian was furious. “I already know what you’ve been hiding from me. My mom wouldn’t have died if you never kicked her out of the house that night!”
Kate began to panic. “How did you know?”
She had never told anyone else about it other than Willow.
She assumed that Willow must have betrayed her and told Caspian about it.
“I went through the security footage in the house and saw everything for myself!” answered Caspian.
Kate immediately turned pale with fear.
She had never even thought of the possibility that there would be security cameras in the house.
“Why did you bring me here? What do you want? Do you want ransom money? I can ask the Stewarts for money if you want, just let me go!”
She was terrified by Caspian’s vengeful gaze and was worried that he might hurt her again.
“I don’t need your money. I’m only here for revenge.”
Caspian reached out to Sylvia’s/hand and grabbed her pistol.
Sylvia was startled as she wondered if he was actually going to kill his mother–in–law.
Kate lost her strength and crumbled onto the ground as she fearfully watched Caspian point the handgun at her. “You’re crazy, Caspian! You’ll go to prison for murdering people, don’t you know that?”
“You should be in prison, if you ask me. I never expected you to belittle and insult my mother the entire time she was living in the house with you. I only wanted her to enjoy her

Kate trembled with fear when she realized that he was being serious.
She had always assumed he was a good–for–nothing. But now, he was seemingly standing up for himself.
“You can’t do this, Caspian! We’re family!”
“Willow has already announced that she has severed all ties with the Stewarts. I’m no longer your son–in–law. You brought this onto yourself.”
His own words only stirred up his anger further as he aimed his gun at Kate.
Kate finally lost her marbles and knelt down in front of him to beg for mercy, “Please, don’t kill me, Caspian! Please, just let me go!”
Even she could feel the killing intent emanating from Caspian.
She had never expected that kicking Lilith out of the house would eventually end up like this.
Both Sylvia and Macy also began to panic as they wondered if they should try to stop Caspian.
Kate continued to beg for her life, “It’s not like I actually caused Lilith’s death or anything! She was too righteous for her own good and went out to fight the hooligans on her own! What did that have to do with me?
“Besides, Lilith managed to save that young girl’s life with her own! That’s a morally acceptable exchange, don’t you think? A senior managed to exchange her life for al youngster’s! Lilith was even praised for her bravery!
“Think about it this way. She wouldn’t have gotten such an honor if I hadn’t kicked her out of the house that night!”
Caspian reprimanded her, “None of that would’ve happened if you didn’t kick my mom out of the house! My mom was a righteous person because she was raised right! Not like you, only cares to manipulate and use everyone around you for your own benefit!”
you, who
He realized that the vile woman kneeling before him was beyond saving as she tried to shift the blame even at gunpoint.
Kate still hoped that she could convince him to spare her. “You can’t kill me, Caspian! Aren’t you worried that Willow might divorce you for this?”
“You’re not worthy of mentioning her name anymore. Do you really think she cares whether you’re still alive or dead?”
Caspian aimed his handgun once more. He had long lost interest in questioning her.
A gunshot echoed through Southlake Cemetery.
