Chapter 219 A Frustrated Father and His Useless Son
Keller was frightened out of his wits after the entire incident.
He no longer dared to remain in Easton.
“But…” Rebecca hesitated.
If Starsphere Media Corporation was to close down, she would have nowhere to go.
If the news of her offending Billy got out, no company would want to take her in.
She might even fall to the bottom and become a nob*dy. She could even be ostracized by the entire entertainment industry.
“Why don’t you sell the company to my wife?” Caspian suddenly said.
“What?” Keller asked in shock.
Even Willow did not expect Caspian to suggest this idea.
“My wife is the president of Southlake Corporation. She’s planning to expand to Easton. It just so happens that she’s in need of a subsidiary company!” Caspian said.
“But
…” Keller hesitated..
“You’ve offended Billy. He’ll definitely not let this go so easily. This company is doomed,” he continued.
‘You mean that loser from earlier? If he dares to show up in front of me, I’ll definitely end him!” Caspian said with a smile.
Keller was startled to hear this. Other than Caspian, nob*dy else would dare to belittle Mr. Billy of Mahayan Pavilion like this.
“Is 500 million enough to acquire your company?” Caspian said as he held five fingers out.
He then looked at Willow and asked, “Honey, what do you say?”
Willow nodded. She had no objections..
Indeed, Southlake Corporation would need some development if they planned to expand their business to Easton in the future. A few million dollars was nothing to Southlake Corporation.
500 million?
When Keller heard this amount, he became dumbfounded.
In fact, Starsphere Media Corporation was not worth much. If it was not for having produced a huge star like Rebecca, their
company might have even gone bankrupt.

When Caspian mentioned 500 million so casually, it came off as a shock.
“Is it too little?” Willow asked when she saw Keller staying silent.
“Oh no, it’s not!” Keller rushed to say.
He had originally planned to transfer the company. Now that someone had offered to acquire it at such a high price, he had no reason to refuse.
Following the acceptance of the offer, Willow and Keller signed the contract for the transfer. Starsphere Media Corporation was now a company under Willow’s name.
Rebecca was puzzled. She never thought that Willow would become her employer in the blink of an eye!
‘Rebecca, you’ll be one of my people from now on,” Willow said as she smiled at Rebecca.
“Yeah,” Rebecca nodded and said.
Even though they had not known each other for long, Rebecca could feel that Willow was a kind–hearted person. She must also be a good employer.
“Now that the company has been transferred to you, I’ll get ready to leave Easton right away. There’s no place for me in this city anymore,” Keller said.
He planned to escape right after he got the money.
“There’s no need to rush. Would you consider becoming the general manager of Starsphere?” Caspian asked.
Willow may have taken over Starsphere, but she knew nothing about managing artists.
“Pardon? Did I hear wrongly?” Keller asked in disbelief.
He could not understand what Caspian was thinking.
Who would allow the ex–employer of a company to continue working in the company?
“Since I’m the president of Southlake Corporation, I won’t be in Easton often. I’ll definitely need a person in charge here. As for the remuneration part, you have nothing to worry about. You’ll definitely be satisfied,” Willow said.
She understood Caspian’s intention and fully agreed with his proposal.
Keller was a little moved by this gesture. Starsphere was his treasure. If it was not for Billy, he would never have thought of leaving.
“But… Billy…”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I can promise you, your safety won’t be in jeopardy,” Caspian said calmly.

Caspian’s unwavering confidence reassured Keller. Nodding, he said, “Alright then, you leave me no choice. I’ll take up this position of being general manager!”
“Hubby, from now on, we’ll have a place to call our own when we come to Easton next time!” Willow said excitedly.
Even though it all happened so suddenly, Caspian’s approach was right.
Nob*dy knew that Caspian did all this with a bigger purpose in mind. He planned to eradicate all of the evil influences in Easton.
Meanwhile, Billy started throwing a tantrum once he returned home.
“Dad! Someone had the audacity to beat me up!” Billy howled upon arriving at the Jennings‘
villa
Wylie was sitting on the sofa when he saw the miserable Billy walk in.
He then began to rebuke him, “You punk! Whose daughter did you take advantage of again? Mahayan Pavilion may be powerful, but it’s not for you to misuse for your misdeeds! If it wasn’t for me, you would’ve already died multiple times!”
Wylie was utterly disappointed in this useless son of his. Other than going around harassing women, he was not capable of anything else.
His original intention was to have Billy inherit Mahayan Pavilion. However, it seemed like this would be impossible.
“Dad! It’s already frustrating that you aren’t planning to help me. Now, you’re even scolding me. There’s no place for me in this house anymore, huh? Fine, I’ll leave!” Billy said angrily. He then slammed the door furiously and left.
How could his own father not help him?
Billy was not going to let this go easily!
“This is so upsetting! What an unfilial son!”
Wylie was extremely upset.
Not long after, a white–haired elderly man walked in and asked, “Lord Jennings, would you like me to take action? It seems like Mr. Billy has encountered some trouble?”
“It’s fine! You don’t have to do anything for now. This kid had always misused Mahayan Pavilion’s powers to act recklessly.
“It’s a good thing that someone taught him a lesson. This will save him from provoking someone more powerful in the future. I can’t imagine the consequences that would bring,”

“Yes, sir!” the elderly nodded.
“Are there any updates about Celestial Sanctum lately?” Wylie asked.
“We’ve received some information. Celestial Sanctum seems to be having a secret operation. They seem to be actively negotiating with the Four Noble Lineages. They have also been incessantly roping in other forces. It seems they plan to compete with us for hegemony!”
Wylie let out a chuckle.
He then sneered and said, “I see that they haven’t given up yet.”
“Lord Jennings, what should we do about it? If Celestial Sanctum joins forces with the Four Noble Lineages, it would bring us great trouble!” the elderly man said.
Wylie rubbed his chin as thought about it.
He then said, “Yeven, I plan to have a dinner party. Have the invitations ready. I plan to invite all the big and small forces. Invite the Four Noble Lineages as well. I want to see for myself how many people will be on my side!” Wylie said with a menacing look.
The ones who did not attend even after receiving the invitation would effectively lose their foothold in Easton.
“Understood. I’ll have it done right away!” Yeven nodded and said.
“Lord Jennings!”
It was at this moment that The Reaper rushed in.
The Reaper had an anxious look on his face.
As soon as he came in, he knelt down in front of Wylie and asked, “Lord Jennings, how do you plan to avenge Sir Leon?”
When Wylie saw The Reaper’s sudden appearance, he frowned.
The Reaper kept urging him to avenge Leonardo.
But Mahayan Pavilion was troubled both internally and externally. How could he afford to think about anything else?
“I have sent my men to investigate this matter. Please wait patiently for a few more days. 1 have a few important matters to deal with here,
“You don’t have to worry about Sir Leon’s matter, I’ll personally avenge him!” Wylie said as he forced a smile.
“But…”
+15 BONUS
The Reaper still had some questions he wanted to ask.
Wylie had already gotten up and was ready to leave.
When The Reaper saw Wylic leave, he could not do anything about it.
He had been in Easton for quite some time already.
He could tell that Wylie had no intention of avenging Sir Leon.
The Reaper had even thought of seeking revenge on Caspian himself. However, when he remembered how skillful Caspian was, he fell into utter helplessness!
Even though he felt helpless and frustrated, he could only leave Jennings Residence for the time being
Meanwhile, Billy was still throwing a tantrum as he walked out of Jennings Residence.
“He’s mad at me again! It’s already frustrating enough that he isn’t helping me. But every time there’s trouble, he’ll just scold me! It’s not like I enjoy getting beaten up!”
Billy had initially expected his father to avenge him.
Who knew that he would get reprimanded instead?
“Mr. Billy!” The Reaper greeted when he saw Billy as he exited Jennings Residence.
Billy turned his head to find that it was The Reaper. His mood instantly improved as he suddenly thought of an idea.
