Chapter 378 Money–Driven
Hearing this, Marilyn was stunned.
The protector of the Kane family?
Such a powerful figure had come to Southlake City?
What was surprising was that they all died?
How was that possible!
Even though Fabian had joined the Shadow Gate and his current strength could match that of an innate grandmaster, to kill so many powerful individuals was beyond his capability.
Caspian’s terror exceeded their imagination.
“It seems Caspian isn’t just someone who served in the army for a few years. We need to be more careful,” Marily said seriously. “What about Lionel? Is he still alive?”
“Caspian let him go,” Fabian answered.
“Sure enough, Willow is Caspian’s weakness.” Marilyn could naturally guess why he spared Lionel.
Even though Willow wasn’t Kate’s biological daughter, ultimately, Lionel was her grandfather. If Caspia
had acted against him, it might’ve affected his relationship with Willow.
“You should leave. Southlake City isn’t safe!” Marilyn suddenly said.
Before she could finish, there were low and heavy footsteps coming from outside.
Fabian’s face darkened before he vanished.
At that moment, Marilyn felt extremely uneasy.
Caspian walked in.
“My dear grandson–in–law, what brings you to visit me at such a late hour?” Marilyn smiled.
Caspian smiled too and replied, “Grandma, I haven’t visited you in a while, so I wanted to see if you’re doing well.”
Both smiled, hiding their true intentions.
“Quick, take a seat,” she said with a smile.
Marilyn didn’t dare to be as rude to Caspian as before.
“Grandma, was someone here just now?” Caspian asked, looking at her.

Upon hearing this, she was startled. How did he know?
“How’s that possible? It’s the middle of the night. Who would come at this hour?” Marilyn chuckled awkwardly, forcing a smile.
She mustn’t let Caspian catch onto anything, or it would be troublesome.
“My dear grandson–in–law, you must have something to discuss with me, right? Just say it directly.” Marilyn didn’t beat about the bush.
She knew he must have a purpose.
“It’s nothing. I just wanted to remind you that I’d better not hear the Stewart family using Willow’s name to engage in illegal activities. Otherwise…
Caspian didn’t finish his sentence.
But he believed Marilyn would understand his meaning.
Marilyn frowned when she heard this. Caspian was giving her a warning.
Before she could regain her composure, he had already left.
Caspian merely wanted to caution the Stewart family and had no intention of acting against them.
If the Stewart family acted like the Massey family, he wouldn’t hold back.
After leaving Stewart Residence, Caspian instructed Sylvia, “Monitor Marilyn and see if strangers visit her!”
“Got it!” Sylvia nodded.
Caspian’s lips curled slightly. He had felt a weak presence in the room earlier that suddenly went missing.
He was certain that someone had indeed visited Marilyn and that she hadn’t been truthful.
That was why he warned her not to engage in illegal activities.
The next day, at Riverside Villa, shouts could be heard.

“Caspian, you demon! You destroyed the Massey family! Do you plan to erase all of us from Southlake City? Why don’t you kill me too!”
When Kate heard the news, she came to the villa and caused a scene.
Caspian sat on the sofa, expressionless
“Mom, what are you doing! The Massey family did many illegal things, and Caspian had no choice!” Frowning, Willow tried to calm her down.

“Nonsense! Willow, can’t you see he’s a monster! He wants to kill everyone from the Massey family and then everyone in the Stewart family. When that happens, all the industries will be his. Why are you still speaking up for him? Can’t you wake up?” Kate ranted.
“Do you think I dare not? Besides, the Massey family deserves it. Since they dare to engage in illegal activities, I took action against them!” Caspian said coldly.
“You’re a useless piece of trash! Who do you think you are to intervene in this matter? Even if the Massey family did many unspeakable things, the inspectors should be the ones to look into it.
“Why did you get involved? I’ll call the Inspector General’s office right now and have them. arrest you!” Kate was furious.
She had lost her rationality.
“Mind your language or don’t blame me for being impolite!” Caspian glared at her harshly.
Kate was startled and dared not say anything more.
She knew he had many military friends, and if he decided to act, she would have a terrible fate.
“Hubby, let’s go out for a walk!” Willow pulled Caspian’s arm.
She wanted to take him away to avoid further arguments with her mother.
Caspian nodded. He didn’t want to stay there and listen to Kate.
“Hold on! I heard that the Massey family’s assets have been seized?” Kate suddenly asked.
“Yes. Is there a problem with that?” Caspian furrowed his brows.
He knew she wouldn’t give up easily.
“I don’t care. I’m a member of the Massey family, so everything belongs to me! Who are you to seize those assets?” she yelled.
After hearing her words, Caspian’s lips twitched.
Even at this moment, all Kate was thinking about was the Massey family’s assets.
She was truly peculiar!
Willow was equally astonished.
Kate was unruly before, but now, she was completely money–driven.
The real purpose for her visit today was to get back the Massey family’s assets!
“The Massey family’s assets have been confiscated, and I can’t do anything about it. They should’ve all been seized now,” Caspian said somewhat helplessly.

Kate was the weirdest person he had ever encountered.
Most people would be devastated by the death of their family members, but Kate was different. At this moment, her only concern was the family’s wealth. To her, money seemed more important than anything else!
“Nonsense! I’m part of the Massey family, and now I’m the heir. All of the Massey family’s properties belong to me!” she raged.
She had been wanting to own those assets worth tens of billions for a long while.
Now that both Saul and Jessica had passed away, she was the only one who could inherit the
assets.
With so much wealth, why should it be confiscated? Moreover, who was Caspian to decide?
Kate would definitely not let this go. As long as she could get hold of the Massey family’s assets, she wouldn’t have to worry anymore.
By th
By then, she would have absolute authority in the Stewart family.
That was the purpose of her visit today–to claim everything that belonged to her.
