Chapter 359 The Aggrieved Kevin
Willow continued, “If I did divorce Caspian, I might even lose my position as CEO! If that happens, no one will try to suck up to the Stewarts anymore, and the Stewarts won’t be enjoying the glory they have now!
“I love Caspian very much. I won’t leave him no matter what, so stop trying to drive a wedge. between us! If you have nothing else to do here, please go back to Stewart Residence!”
Once she finished speaking, she went upstairs and returned to her room.
Willow didn’t want to continue talking to Kate anymore. She would’ve tolerated Kate’s behavior in the past, but now that she knew about her real parentage, she no longer felt the need to be as understanding.
In any case, her relationship with the Stewart family was tenuous now.
Meanwhile, Willow’s disregard was the last straw for Kate. She immediately exploded in anger.
“You wretch! You’re all wretches! How dare all of you go against me? How infuriating!” Kate
screamed
She had been left alone in the living room, and all she could do was shout to vent her fury.
“Just you wait, Caspian! I’m not done with you!” Kate snarled before leaving Riverside Villa.
At the same time, someone else was cursing at Caspian, too.
Back at Massey Manor, Saul was bellowing in rage, “Caspian, you bastard! Just you wait! I’ll kill you someday!”
Several sharp crashes followed as many of the antiques in the living room got thrown to the
floor.
The Massey family’s household staff stood silently with their heads lowered. Once, a
household staff approached Saul during his temper tantrum, and he gave that person a severe
beating.
Meanwhile, Saul was still scarlet with fury. How dared that bastard Caspian demand that he apologize to Cora, a street cleaner? It was outrageous!
He was also furious over the loss of 50 million dollars.
“Dad, calm down, or you’might give yourself a heart attack!” Jessica quickly urged. “Eric has taken the fall for us now, so Caspian can’t do anything to us anymore!”
son
“You’re still so naive!” Saul rebuked. “Do you really think Caspian will let us off the hook just
Jessica was alarmed.
“Dad, are you saying that Caspian’s going to investigate us till?” Jessica asked in terror.
“Caspian was related to the massacre of the Yorks and Flying Dragons. If he was the one who did it, then it means he’s a ruthless man who’s hidden his claws very well.
“The Yorks were once the most prominent and influential family in Southlake City, but look what happened to them. They’re all dead now!” Saul declared gravely.
All along, he kept his eye on the goings–on in Southlake City.
At the time, he got a strange feeling about the sudden annihilation of the Yorks and Flying Dragons. And following that, the rumors about Caspian increased.
Due to that, Saul had begun to feel fearful. He had a feeling Caspian wasn’t just a loser.
Caspian’s earlier warning only served to intensify his anxiety.
Even if Caspian were indeed an ordinary person, the Masseys would still be in trouble if he reported the situation to the authorities.
“We’re related to the Stewarts, Dad, so why is Caspian still determined to come after us?” Jessica asked puzzledly.
If Caspian was simply the Stewart family’s matrilocal son–in–law, there was no reason for him. to involve himself in this matter. He wouldn’t gain anything from it. Furthermore, was he not going to consider the relationship between the Stewarts and the Masseys?
“I’m afraid Caspian’s identity isn’t as simple as you think! Even Lincoln Zott, the wealthiest man in the Two Lakes area, is working for him. Think about it. If someone like Lincoln is willingly serving Caspian, what does that say about Caspian’s identity?
“In any case, our family has been expanding our influence a little too quickly lately. We’ve done far too many unspeakable things,” Saul said helplessly.
He couldn’t figure out who Caspian truly was either.
All of a sudden, Kevin came running in while shouting, “Dad! Something terrible hast happened!”
After seeing how panicked Kevin was, Saul shook his head exasperatedly and admonished, ” Hey, now. You’re my son–in–law. Why are you losing your composure just because something has happened? Where’s your sense of decorum?”
In the past, Saul approved of Kevin and thought he would be a good match for Jessica. But alas, Kevin couldn’t hold a candle to Caspian.
“Go on. What is it this time?” Saul asked impatiently.
“Well…” Kevin faltered. He couldn’t find the right words.
“Hurry up! Why are you hesitating? Why can’t you be more of a man?” Jessica snapped hotly.
Kevin felt very offended, so much so that he almost cried.
His life with the Masseys was not a good one. Saul and Jessica often scolded him over the smallest mistakes.
He finally realized just how suffocating and unbearable it was to be a matrilocal son–in–law.
After taking a deep breath, Kevin announced, “Dad, Lincoln Zott has shut down all of our businesses in Southlake City!”
“What did you say?” Saul exclaimed, his eyes widening.
“Earlier today, Lincoln and his men seized all of our businesses in Southlake City, including the clubs and bars. The inspectors from the Inspector General’s office were with him, and they also sealed off our businesses for further inspection!” Kevin reported nervously.
Overwhelmed with rage, Saul started coughing and heaving.
“Dad! Are you okay?” Jessica squealed as she quickly rushed over to hold him steady.
“Is Caspian trying to wipe out our family?” Saul howled.
It had not been easy for the Masseys to set up their businesses and expand their influence, but now, everything was sealed off for investigations.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the family, and their future was up in the air.
Meanwhile, Kevin rather enjoyed seeing Saul’s reaction.
It didn’t matter to him what became of the Masseys.
And if Saul did get a heart attack and drop dead, he would feel satisfied!
Just then, a crisp slapping sound rang out.
Kevin felt one of his cheeks stinging in pain.
Jessica had slapped him.
“You useless loser! Why didn’t you stop them? Jessica rebuked Kevin.
Now that the Masseys‘ businesses had been sealed off for investigations, the family was
bound to suffer a huge loss.
All Jessica could do was take her anger out on Kevin. She blamed him for the situation. It was
all because he was such a loser.

If she could’ve become the CEO of a major conglomerate like Willow, no one would dare do anything to the Massey family.
“How was I supposed to stop them? Lincoln used to be the richest man in the Two Lakes area, and he had the Inspector General’s office backing him up! I would only be dooming myself if I tried to stop them!” Kevin retorted, offended.
He knew that Jessica was just venting her anger on him, and the thought of that intensified his
resentment.
“Stop coming up with excuses! If you’d been as bold and decisive as Caspian, we wouldn’t have lost our businesses!” Jessica shot back. She didn’t want to listen to his excuses.
She immediately started punching and kicking him.
“That’s enough! Stop it!” Saul shouted at Jessica, who had completely lost control of herself.
Kevin’s face was covered in blood.
Deep down inside, he had made up his mind. Sooner or later, he would make Jessica pay for the way she treated him! He was determined to get even with her!
