Chapter 345 Gathering Evidence of Their Crimes
Kevin trembled slightly at the thought.
The Masseys had their share of enemies, of course. They did not have a strong standing in society yet.
Previously, Kevin had paid attention to the massacre of Flying Dragons, and he knew it seemed to have been related to Caspian.
Some said that Caspian was no ordinary person. On the contrary, he was a powerful figure who called the hit on Flying Dragons.
Just then, Eric came running into the house.
“I have bad news! Something terrible has happened!” he yelled breathlessly.
Brows creasing in displeasure, Jessica huffed, “Stop yelling! What are you panicking about? You look like a mess.”
Eric did his best to compose himself. He dared not say anything.
Initially, he was simply a street thug in Southlake City. It was Jessica who gave him the chance. to lead the Masseys‘ underground forces.
Eric was able to establish himself in the city mainly due to Jessica’s support.
With just a single word from her, he could lose everything he had now. Therefore, he dared not show her any disrespect.
Jessica smirked at the sight of Eric’s meekness.
“What’s going on? What made you so flustered?” Jessica asked puzzledly.
“I was out collecting debts when I ran into Willow Stewart and her husband, Caspian Lynch!” Eric reported shakily.
“What did you say?” Jessica exclaimed. Startled, she leaped off the couch.
The maids in front of her flinched, but none of them spoke as they did not know what was happening.
“Get out,
out, all of you!” Jessica abruptly shouted at the maids.
They lowered their heads and quickly left the living room.
No one dared to offend Jessica. If they did, their lives would become a living hell.
“Say that again? Did you really bump into Willow and Caspian?” Jessica asked with her eyes
fixed on Eric.

Just the mention of the couple infuriated her, but at the same time, she felt fearful. Everyone in Southlake City knew about Caspian and Willow’s extravagant wedding
Even a high–ranking general from South Aridlands had attended their wedding. It had been a grand affair.
Furthermore, Caspian was closely connected to the massacres of both Flying Dragons and the York family.
Everyone in the city speculated that Caspian had an extraordinary identity and was merely using his role as the Stewart family’s matrilocal son–in–law as a cover.
The more Jessica thought about this, the more scared she was.
Her reaction made Eric uneasy as
well
The Masseys could not afford to offend Willow either. She was the CEO of Southlake Corporation. That alone was enough to let her lord over many others.
In response to Jessica’s question, Eric replied, “That’s right. Caspian’s subordinates took Diego away, and I also heard another shocking news. Lincoln Zott, the man who invested in Southlake Corporation a while back, seems to be working for Caspian now.
Eric stopped talking. He was too afraid to even wonder what Caspian’s true identity could be. Only someone of the utmost importance could be the recipient of Lincoln’s respect.
Meanwhile, Jessica was stupefied.
Lincoln was working for Caspian? Was Caspian truly just the Stewart family’s matrilocal son- in–law, or did he have some other special identity?
Jessica was apprehensive. She did not know what to do.
“What should we do now, darling? The family’s involved in a lot of shady businesses. If Caspian and Lincoln come after us, we won’t stand a chance against them!” Kevin cried out in a panic.
His hand was trembling so much that his cigar nearly fell off.
No one knew what was going to happen.
“Why are you panicking? What a loser! Everyone used to say Caspian was a useless good–for- nothing, but I think you’re the useless one! All you do is panic! Act like a man, why don’t you?
Jessica shrieked as she glared at Kevin.
She berated him without holding back, and he was too scared to say anything. But deep down inside, he was upset.
Everyone in Southlake City used to think that Caspian was a loser. They considered him at
Although Kevin’s family. the Copelands, weren’t that prominent either, he used to think he was a lot better than Caspian.
But now, he could not think the same anymore.
Willow had become the CEO of Southlake Corporation, and Caspian no longer kept a low profile like he used to.
Still, despite feeling upset, Kevin had to keep his feelings to himself.
After throwing a tantrum at Kevin, Jessica sat back down on the couch.
“Darling, Caspian sent Eric back on purpose to give us a message. What should we do? If we stop giving out high–interest loans, we’ll lose a major source of income!” Kevin said worriedly. “How should I know what to do? You’re a man, aren’t you? Can’t you be less spineless? Why must you ask me about everything?” Jessica huffed in dissatisfaction.
The situation caught her off guard, and she did not know how to deal with it either.
All of a sudden, Kevin’s eyes lit up, and he suggested, “Darling, why don’t we tell Dad about this? I’m sure he can think of something.”
“Yes! Let’s ask Dad for help right away. He can come up with a plan for us!” Jessica quickly agreed.
This was the best solution they could think of.
While Jessica’s grandfather, Lionel Massey, was still the head of the Massey family, he was getting old now. Uninclined to deal with the family’s day–to–day matters, he handed the reins over to his son and Jessica’s father, Saul Massey.
Saul was the one who provided Jessica and Kevin with the support to run their shady operations.
The couple swiftly went to look for him.
Meanwhile, over at Lincoln’s residence, Caspian was seated in the center of the room while Lincoln and Bernard stood respectfully beside him.
In front of them was a disheveled man covered in wounds.
It was Diego. Ashen–faced and barely breathing, he was far from the arrogant brute he was earlier.
Lying on the floor, he continued to gasp in pain. It was evident he had just gone through a severe beating.
“Take him away. Hand him over to the Inspector General’s office. Let them deal with him. He’s an eyesore!” Caspian said with a frown and a wave of his hand.
“Right away!” Bernard replied with a nod. He quickly gestured for his men to drag Diego out.
“We interrogated Diego earlier, Mr. Lynch, and we found out quite a lot of information from him,” Lincoln reported.
He was holding onto a few sheets of paper that listed down everything Diego had said. “Read it out to me,” Caspian instructed after glancing at the list.
