“Yes, sir! Rest assured, Mr. Lynch. I will get to the bottom of this matter!” Lincoln said as he nodded.
Afterward, he looked at Bernard and yelled, “What’re you doing still standing there? Take these men away!”
Bernard was a simple–minded man. He was not capable of thinking further ahead.
Lincoln was already planning to teach him a lesson when they returned home so that he would be more careful in the future.
“Yes, sir!” Bernard nodded.
Then, he walked toward Diego with hurried. steps.
At that moment, he was filled with rage.
It was all because of this bastard that he was punished so severely.
He was worried that Lincoln would not entrust any duties to him ever again. He might even kick him out. It would really be unfortunate if that were to happen.
“Diego, you have always misused your relationship with the Massey family to terrorize the people. Your end has finally come.
“Tell me, do you want to get out of here on your own, or would you like me to drag you out after I’ve beaten the shit out of you?” Bernard said viciously.
Diego was at a loss.
Who actually was Caspian that Lincoln was so obedient to him?
It appeared that Lincoln and Bernard were both afraid of Caspian.
But Lincoln was once the richest man in the Two Lakes area. Would he be scared of anyone?
The more he thought about it, the more he could not wrap his head around it. He was not a complete fool as well.
“Mr. Underhill, can you tell me which gang this man is from?” Diego asked as he looked at
Bernard.
“Diego, all you have to know is that you’ve offended a really prominent person. You are doomed this time!”
Bernard was not able to divulge Caspian’s real identity as well.
With just these few words, Diego’s expression changed.

Caspian was a prominent person?
Diego suddenly recalled that the matrilocal son–in–law of the Stewart family was also called. Caspian. Were they the same person?
He had heard many things about Caspian before.
Just the fact that John Anderson, a senior general officer from South Aridlands, had attended Caspian’s wedding was enough to shock many people.
The Massey family might be related to the Stewart family, but this piece of news was nothing compared to the one between Caspian and John.
Diego was feeling really conflicted. He was not sure what to do anymore.
His face was ashen, and he felt unsettled. He remained stunned and did not move an inch.
He never doubted Bernard’s words. Caspian must have been a really prominent person to have made Lincoln obey him.
Bernard snickered as he looked at Diego. This bastard could have chosen to offend anyone, but he chose to offend Caspian.
“Let’s go. You’d better tell me everything from the beginning when we get back! I suggest all of you follow me back without trying anything. I’ll make sure you regret your actions if you do,
Bernard said.
Bernard also had to suffer for the trouble that Diego had created, and that called for a punishment!
Diego and others were taken away by Bernard’s men.
“I give you half an hour to find out about everything,” Caspian said to Lincoln.
“Yes, sir!” Lincoln nodded. He did not dare to delay the new task. He left promptly with
Bernard and the rest.
The luxury cars left the scene one after another. Those watching on the sidelines were dumbfounded.
Everyone looked at Caspian, feeling astonished.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “He seems to be the matrilocal son–in–law of the Stewart family! Didn’t everyone claim that he was a loser?”
“Look! Could that woman standing next to him be Willow Stewart, the CEO of Southlake Corporation?”
These two sentences captured many people’s attention.

Caspian and Willow’s lavish wedding ceremony left an impression on a lot of people back then.
Everyone who knew about the wedding was extremely shocked.
“That’s right. He’s Caspian. And the woman beside him is Willow!”
“Who would’ve thought that a matrilocal son–in–law would become so powerful?”
“He’s just lucky that he got to marry a wife who’s the CEO of a corporation. In the end, he’s still a loser who freeloads off his wife!”
The people were discussing among themselves.
Willow was a highly coveted woman in Southlake City. There were many men who wanted to marry her, but she ended up choosing a person like Caspian.
Nonetheless, that wedding of the century was beyond the reach of many people.
Caspian did not care about any of their opinions.
Instead, he looked to Sylvia and said, “Go and investigate. Find out what the Massey family has been up to recently in Southlake City.‘
“Yes, sir!” Sylvia nodded.
It seemed like the Massey family was going to be doomed this time.
“Hubby.” Willow walked toward Caspian and hugged him.
She never thought that someone this evil existed in her grandmother’s family.
This matter would send Caspian into a difficult dilemma.
“I didn’t know that the Masseys would be like this…” Willow said coquettishly.
She was feeling extremely apologetic.
The public did not know that she had cut ties with the Stewart family.
If it were not for her status as CEO, they would not even bother flattering the and the Massey family.
Stewart family
“I don’t blame you, silly! Don’t worry. I will handle this properly!” Caspian patted Willow gently and comforted her.
Willow was extremely moved. With Caspian by her side, she did not have to worry about these
matters at all.
At that moment, a wailing sounded from the ground.

“Are you alright, ma’am?” Willow went to the old woman and asked as she knelt on the ground.
“I’m fine,” the old woman said as she shook her head.
Then, she gritted her teeth and pushed herself to get up.
However, her entire b*dy was in pain, and she did not even have the strength to stand.
“Please don’t move, ma’am. I’ll get an ambulance and have you sent to the hospital,” Willow said as she promptly took her phone out to make the call.
“No, there’s no need,” the old woman said quickly
“But, ma’am, you’re in a critical condition. You have to go to the hospital!” Willow said, not understanding why she was refusing this gesture.
The burly men had struck her hard. She must have gotten badly injured as she was already very old.
If she was not treated in time, it would be troublesome if there were any underlying illnesses.
“I’m grateful for your kindness, but I can’t go to the hospital. It will cost a lot of money, don’t even have any money at all. You may leave me be,” the old woman said helplessly.
The poor could not afford to be sick because they would not have any money to pay for
treatment.

Hospital bills had become too expensive. Even a simple checkup would come up to hundreds of dollars. Medication would be an additional hundreds of dollars added to the bill.
The old woman no longer had any spare money for the treatment. She could only endure the pain.
“You don’t have to worry about this, ma’am. I will foot the bill for the medical expenses,” Willow said empathetically while looking at the old woman.
‘That wouldn’t be right. We’re complete strangers. I’m too embarrassed to have you pay for me,” the old woman said as she shook her head.
She was already beyond grateful that Caspian and Willow had come forward to help her confront the thugs.
There would always be many people watching, but to have people come forward and help was
rare.
“It’s okay, ma’am. Don’t worry about it, and just go to the hospital,” Willow said, smiling
Diego worked for the Massey family, which was her grandfather’s family. So, she should bear the responsibility for what just happened.
“But
“the old woman was still conflicted.

“You don’t have to hesitate anymore, ma’am. Your health is important. Let’s just get you to
the hospital first,” Caspian persuaded.
