Chapter 370 Buy Time
Lionel prostrated on the floor as he spoke. A shrouded figure suddenly walked out from a dark corner as if he had appeared in the room from nowhere.
If Jessica were to notice this man, she would surely be shocked. From the moment she entered the room until her departure, she did not notice the other person in the room.
“Good–for–nothing! If you aren’t of use to me, I won’t even bother to help. The experts will be here in a few days. If you can buy a few more days, Caspian will surely end up dead!” Alfred said to Lionel, looking disappointed.
“Thank you, Mr. Kane!” Lionel quickly thanked him.
“Useless!” Alfred said coldly before disappearing from the room.
Lionel smirked evilly. Caspian would surely be dead as long as Alfred was willing to help. The only thing Lionel needed to do now was to stall Caspian for a few days, and reinforcements would arrive.
Lionel quickly rushed to Stewart Residence, where Kate was lounging on the couch, enjoying her life of leisure.
“Dad! Why did you visit? Have a seat!” Kate stood up quickly.
“I’m here because I have news for you.” Lionel sat down on the couch.
The family helpers quickly left the room, leaving Kate and Lionel alone.
“Kate, your brother was killed!” Lionel said gravely.
“What? What happened?”
Kate felt like she had been struck by lightning. She could not believe it. Her brother was still alive a few days ago, was he not? Why was he suddenly killed?
“It’s because of your son–in–law! He did that!” Lionel said coldly.
He knew that Kate would not be able to accept this.
Kate was furious upon hearing that.
“Caspian did that? Oh, no!” Kate said, panicked.
“What’s wrong?” Lionel asked, somewhat perplexed.
“I pissed Caspian off before. Will he kill me, too?” Kate said fearfully.

She had not forgotten about that incident involving Lilith even now.
Lionel was stunned. What nonsense was Kate spouting? He shook his head. If not for the fact that he had to stall Caspian for a few days, he would not have sought Kate.
“It’s not Caspian who killed him, but he forced Kevin to do it!” Lionel explained.
“I thought Caspian was so deranged that he’d kill his relatives!” Kate patted her chest and sighed in relief.
Caspian had not killed Saul, which meant that he still had some morals.
Lionel was speechless. Was Kate stupid, or what? How was Caspian asking someone else to do it different from him doing it himself?
“Caspian didn’t do the deed himself, but he ordered Kevin to do it! He’s the enemy of the Masseys!” Lionel said grimly.
His only son had died a horrible death just like that. How was he supposed to maintain his footing in Southlake City if he did not avenge his son?
“Dad! Even if Caspian’s the one behind this, Kevin’s the one who did it. It’s pointless even if you seek me out now, isn’t it?” Kate felt somewhat resigned.
She was good at throwing tantrums and cursing people out, but what could she do when it came to something like this?
She did not have the guts to do anything to Caspian, either!
“Your son–in–law ordered someone else to kill your brother! Is this not your business?” Lionel was furious.
“I…” Kate had nothing to say for a while.
She did not know how to put it, but she did not have the guts to give Caspian trouble at this point.
What if Caspian was enraged by that and ended up killing her?
Lionel did not expect Kate to avenge her brother, naturally. He just wanted Kate to make at scene and buy him some time.
“Kate, your brother was killed because of Caspian. Should you really stand there and do nothing?” Lionel pretended to wipe his tears.
“What can I do, Dad? Tell me, what do you want me to do?” Kate said helplessly.
“Even if Caspian won’t listen to you, he’ll listen to Willow, won’t he? Give Willow a call and
ask about it!” Lionel said.
Kate looked even more grim. She was not sure if Willow would listen to her. However, she ended up calling anyway.

In the CEO’s office at Southlake Corporation, Caspian said calmly, “Willow, Saul is dead.”
“What? You didn’t, did you…” Willow was so shocked that she stood up from her chair.
Saul was her uncle, after all. They were all family, even if she was not Kate’s daughter by blood.
“No, Kevin did it!” Caspian shook his head. He was not lying to Willow–he really had not done it himself.
“Why would Kevin do that?” Willow asked in confusion.
“I wouldn’t know. Maybe he’s been mistreated by the Masseys, and humiliation turned into anger, which caused him to kill,” Caspian explained.
Right after Caspian finished speaking, Willow’s phone rang.
“Honey, it’s a call from my mother,” Willow said.
Caspian said nothing.
Willow took the call.
“Willow, your grandpa is having a hard time because of Caspian. Your uncle is dead because of him, too. Come back to Stewart Residence now!” Kate shouted.
“Uh…
Before Willow could finish her question, Kate had ended the call.
“Did anything happen?” Caspian asked.
“My mother knows what happened to the Masseys, and my grandpa is at Stewart Residence.” Willow looked grim.
“Let’s go back for a visit,” Caspian said.
They rushed back to Stewart Residence by car.
When Lionel saw Caspian, he was instantly enraged.
“Caspian, you bastard! You killed Saul! I must kill you today!” Lionel got up, roaring. He threw a punch at Caspian.
“Wait!” Caspian barked. His voice was as intimidating as a lion’s roar–it forcibly pushed
Lionel back

Lionel was rooted on the spot. He did not expect Caspian’s voice alone to be so powerful! “Do you want to kill me too, Caspian?” Lionel asked, his face dark.
“I haven’t done anything to you, right, Grandpa?” Caspian chuckled.
Lionel gave Caspian a look. He did not believe in Caspian’s words at all. Even if Caspian had not done anything to him yet, it did not mean he would not do anything in the future.
“Why are you doing all this to the Masseys? Why did you kill my son?” Lionel asked viciously.
“You’ve become senile, haven’t you, old man? Saul was killed by his son–in–law. How is that any of my business?” Caspian asked nonchalantly.
“Stop pretending! The Massey family wouldn’t be in this state if not for you! You forced Kevin to do it!” Lionel said furiously.
“Ah, you’re accusing me of doing something I didn’t do.” Caspian shook his head and sighed.
