“Lincoln! How’s your task going?” Caspian asked, staring at Lincoln intently.
“I’ve already sealed up all the properties owned by the Masseys as ordered, Mr. Lynch!”
Lincoln said in deference.
“Great! The Masseys have committed countless crimes, so they must be punished properly,” Caspian said determinedly.
“Should I take action against the Masseys now, Mr. Lynch?” Lincoln asked.
“You don’t need to hurry. They won’t just submit, you know?” Caspian said, shaking his head.
Everyone was stunned for a while as they did not understand what Caspian had meant by that.
“With how rapidly the Masseys have been expanding within these two months, I’m sure they must have left themselves room for measure. We must be completely confident that we can suppress them before doing anything,” Caspian explained.
The Masseys became more influential thanks to the Stewarts and Willow at first. However, they had expanded very quickly within such a short time, which was a very difficult task even if they relied heavily on the Stewart family and Willow.
Perhaps the Masseys were backed up by some other forces. Acting rashly now might alert those forces, and they might suffer big losses just for a little gain–it was not worth it.
Everyone finally understood, thanks to Caspian’s explanation.
Lincoln nodded, his heart filled with admiration. As expected of the Diatoranian God of War- Caspian’s wisdom and frame of mind were incomparably broader than that of the average
person.
“I have a plan that might make the Masseys give themselves away…” Eric suddenly said.
He lowered his voice before saying to Caspian, “Mr. Lynch, maybe we can have Kevin Copeland spy for us. He’s having a hard time after marrying Jessica. If we give him some benefits in exchange, he’ll surely agree to it!”
“Really?” Caspian frowned.
“I’m certain! Kevin is a son–in–law of the Masseys, but he’s currently having a hard time. He’s neglected by the rest of the family, and no one treats him seriously. Not only does Jessica yell at him all the time, but she also hits him!” Eric said.
“I’ll leave this to you, Lincoln. If Kevin’s willing to help, I can let him live, and the Copeland family will be forgiven!” Caspian ordered.
“Got it, Mr. Lynch. I’ll do as you say!” Lincoln nodded, treating this with the utmost
Caspian did not say more This would also be an opportunity to put Lincoln’s capabilities to
the test
The Southlake Elderly Home was an elderly home only in name. The premises covered a huge area of land, and no ordinary elderly citizen would be allowed in The facility was exceptionally grand, and the residents were taken care of by specifically hired doctors and nurses.
Staying here was no different from staying in a villa. Also, everyone here was either wealthy or powerful
Marilyn and Lionel sat by a table in the park, discussing among them. They were in–laws, but their families did not visit them often. However, they had grown closer to each other recently due to whatever was happening with the Masseys and the Lincolns.
Lionel was indisputably the one with the highest status in the nursing home. Even the director would have to treat him with respect
“Are you really content with staying here and handing the reins down to Saul, old man? With how fit you still are, you can easily manage the family for a few more years, can’t you?” Marilyn chuckled.
“I’m already old, so I won’t fight the youngsters for this Saul’s already middle aged, too. He’ll have to put himself to work eventually,” Lionel said with a chuckle.
“You’re old, you say?” Marilyn laughed.
Lionel was a bit younger than her, too. She did not believe that Lionel would really be willing to spend the rest of his life in this elderly home.
“You’re not that old. You’re still in good shape, at least. Also, with how your family is growing right now, will you really not worry if you leave everything to your successor?” Marilyn continued.
If the Masseys did not want anyone else to learn about what they had done, then they should. not have done those things. Marilyn had also heard about some of whatever the Masseys had been up to recently. They would eventually be exposed as the party behind everything.
Lionel had opted to move into the elderly home early for one more reason: whatever happened. to the Masseys from now on would be none of his business.
Lionel laughed. “The problem with you is that you worry too much. You should let the younger generation pave their way themselves. Look at Willow–she’s already the CEO of Southlake Corporation now! It’s undoubtedly the biggest corporation in all of Southlake!”
Only Marilyn knew that Willow was not on good terms with the Stewarts. She regretted it as
If she had known that Willow would accomplish great things, she would have gone about
currying Willow’s favor properly. With that, the Stewart family might have ended up as the most powerful family in Southlake.
“Marilyn, Caspian Lynch has your granddaughter firmly in his grasp at this point. With him here, the Stewarts might never be able to expand further. Don’t you want to do something to change that?” Lionel said meaningfully.
Upon hearing that, Marilyn was stunned for a while.
Lionel was right. The worsening relations between Willow and the Stewart family were mostly thanks to Caspian. If they could persuade Willow to provide the Stewarts with a little assistance, they would undoubtedly become more powerful than before.
However, Caspian was not the useless man he had been. Many rumors about Caspian could be heard in Southlake City, all of them about how powerful he was.
Marilyn was no longer bold enough to provoke Caspian now–she wanted to live for a few
more years.
“What do you mean by this, Lionel? Do you want my family members to fight each other? Caspian is my grandson–in–law, no matter what, and Willow is my granddaughter. We’re still family, after all!” Marilyn frowned.
Lionel grinned. Marilyn sounded convincing, but was that really what she thought? She just no longer dared to provoke Caspian recklessly.
Willow was the CEO of Southlake Corporation now, too, which meant that her words carried. more weight. There was no way the Stewart family could control what Willow would say or do.
“I’m just saying. Don’t take it seriously. But didn’t Willow cut off ties with the family because of Caspian?” Lionel asked.
“I’ll take your word for it. But if you keep on talking, I’m going to make sure you know I’m pissed off. You don’t have the right to insult me, either, do you?
“I know why you’re hiding here in the elderly home. it because you’re worried that
whatever will happen to your family will also affect you?
“Everyone has heard about what Caspian is up to. He might have been useless before, but not now, for sure!” Marilyn snapped, somewhat annoyed.
What a crafty old fox Lionel was!
