Chapter 40 A Thousand Luxury Cars
Willow, Miranda, Zoey, and all the scions hanging around were thunderstruck by the majestic display.
The people inside Stewart Residence, including the relatives, Richard, and Alicia also came out after hearing the commotion. They wanted to see what was happening.
When they saw the armored vehicles, they froze in place.
“Goodness me! What’s going on? Why are there armored vehicles here?”
“I heard about a crisis over at the southern border. They must be heading over there!”
“It doesn’t look like it. The vehicles seem to be coming over to Stewart Residence!”

“Look at the cars behind the armored vehicles. They’re all decorated with flowers. Those cars must be a
part of a bridal party!”
“Is anyone else from the Stewart family getting married today?”
The crowd muttered among themselves. They could not figure out what was going on.
With the help of the household staff, Marilyn came out as well. She was also startled by the grand
procession.
Why were there armored vehicles heading toward Stewart Residence? No one in the family had
committed any crimes.
Soon, the cars approached. The crowd could see that they were all limited-edition luxury cars.
“Whoa! That’s a Lamborghini!”.
“There’s a Rolls-Royce too!”
“Oh, my god! A Ferrari!”
“Look at that Bentley limousine!”
“Good god! There’s even a Shelby supercar! I can’t believe I’m seeing a legendary race car here!”
“There’s even a Bugatti! Such luxury!”
The crowd was gobsmacked. The procession of luxury cars astounded them. It was indeed a magnificent
sight.
1/5
There were several luxury cars in the procession, including Lincolns, Maybachs, Paganis, and Aston Martins. Every single car was truly the cream of the crop. The long line of cars overwhelmed everyone
who saw it.
Any one of these cars would cost millions. In fact, just one of them was enough to outdo all of the cars
Richard’s bridal party had come in.
It was a jaw-dropping sight to behold.
Many of these limited-edition models had not even been seen in public before, but they were all gathered
here today!
The sight of these luxury cars made Marilyn quiver as well. In all her years of living, she had never
witnessed such grandeur before.
The ten armored vehicles stopped on both sides of the road and left a path for the cars to pass through.
Just like that, the long procession of luxury cars drove right up to Stewart Residence.
“You’ll never see anything as grand as this in Southlake City!”
“I know, right? I’m shaking like a leaf. This is all too staggering!”
“It looks like they’re part of a bridal party, doesn’t it?”
“It does. All the cars have Dhord City license plates. I wonder who’s the lucky bride chosen by one of
Dhord City’s scions.”
“Besides Alicia, is anyone else in the Stewart family getting married today?”
Alicia was so thrilled that she nearly jumped for joy. She turned to Richard and exclaimed, “Richard! I
never knew the Hudson family had been keeping a low profile all along. What a grand gesture this is. I
love you so much!”
Richard felt embarrassed. “What grand gesture are you talking about?”
“These luxury cars, of course. Isn’t it a surprise that you prepared for me?” Alicia assumed Richard had
secretly arranged for these luxury cars to come over today.
Richard felt even more embarrassed now. If he had the means to do a thing like that, why would he resort to such methods to marry someone like her?
Just a single one of these cars cost millions!
When the guests saw how presumptuous Alicia was, they began to ridicule her quietly.
“Is there something wrong with Alicia’s brain? What makes her think the Hudson family is rich enough to
get so many of these luxury cars?”
“Exactly. What a fool she is. She should take a look at her husband first. How can a puny family like the
Hudsons afford to splurge on these luxury sports cars?”
“Even getting just a dozen of these cars would be quite the feat already. Look at the procession. There’s
no end in sight. There has got to be at least 1000 of them!”
“Even if the Hudson family could afford these cars, what about the armored vehicles? How could the
Hudson family possibly have such powerful connections?”
The crowd’s comments reached Alicia’s ears. Her expression stiffened, and she asked, “Richard, tell
these people whether or not you arranged for these luxury cars to come over today.”
“Alicia, can you stop daydreaming? The Hudson family has nothing to do with these luxury cars,” Richard
said exasperatedly.
“Could it be that your friends have come to support you?” Alicia continued to indulge in her fantasies.
“Do you think I’d be acquainted with such prominent figures?” Richard retorted.
“Could it be that a scion from Dhord City has fallen in love with me?” Alicia’s thoughts grew even wilder.
As the crowd took in Alicia’s conceited reaction, they itched to knock some sense into her.
The cars stopped outside Steward Residence. Over a dozen women dressed like bridesmaids got out of
the cars.
As soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone’s attention.
They were gorgeous in every way and comparable to both Zoey and Miranda.
Plus, they seemed a lot taller.
Any single one of these dozen or so bridesmaids could outdo all of the women standing around Alicia.
These women were the female spécial forces soldiers that John had selected.
Once they got out of the cars, they looked around the place. Then, under everyone’s watchful gazes, they
approached Willow who was somewhat dazed.
The female soldiers figured that since Willow stood out from the crowd with her air and bearing, she had
to be Caspian’s wife.
“Excuse me. Are you Willow Stewart?” the bridesmaid in the lead asked.

The woman who spoke was Shirlene Kaufman, the leader of these female soldiers.
“Yes, I am. Do you need something?” Willow finally snapped out of her reverie and asked.
She had been stunned by the grand display earlier.
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Stewart. We are the bridesmaids that Mr. Lynch prepared for you,” Shirlene
informed.
The moment Shirlene finished speaking, everyone was stupefied.
How could it be that Willow’s useless husband Caspian was the one who gathered this group of beautiful
bridesmaids?
It was impossible.
If they were part of Caspian’s arrangements, what about the cars? Had he arranged them too?
There was no way that was possible. That good-for-nothing Caspian could not have prepared such a
grand gesture!
Even Willow found it hard to believe. How could Caspian, the useless man who disappointed her so, be
capable of doing such a thing?
Even the mayor of Southlake City would not be able to arrange for armored vehicles to escort the
procession, let alone him.
“Did you make a mistake? You’re here for the second daughter of the Stewart family, right? It should be
me!” Alicia refused to believe that Caspian was capable of making this happen.
Even now, she still thought that a scion from Dhord City must have taken a liking to her and sent his
people over. She assumed the bridesmaids had approached the wrong person.
“Sorry, but this has nothing to do with you. Mr. Lynch’s wife is Willow Stewart, the oldest daughter of the
Stewart family,” Shirlene stated.
Willow felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was rooted to the spot.
“By Mr. Lynch, do you mean Caspian Lynch?” Willow remained disbelieving.
How could someone like Caspian who spent his days doing nothing meaningless come from such a
powerful background?
“That’s right.” Shirlene nodded.
Her answer stunned the crowd. Caspian was the one behind this impressive display!
Marilyn and all the other Stewarts were trembling. Besides feeling dumbstruck, they were also confused.
Just who was Caspian, the man they considered a useless slacker?
