Chapter 42 Escorted by Eight Fighter Jets
“Ms. Stewart, besides Mr. Lynch, who else is qualified to be your husband?” Shirlene responded.
“Then why is he taking so long to arrive?” Willow asked again.
She still found it hard to believe that he had arranged such a grand event.
“Mr. Lynch has been delayed due to some unforeseen circumstances, but he will definitely arrive.” Shirlene couldn’t tell Willow that Caspian was attacked. So, she brushed her off with a random excuse.
The appearance of the luxurious motorcade had turned the surroundings of the mansion into a bustling
spectacle. The conversation between the two was not loud. So, the people didn’t hear them.
“Do you really believe that Caspian, that useless guy, could orchestrate such a grand spectacle? The
groom must be someone else!” Noticing that Caspian hadn’t shown up, Alicia was delighted.
She had never believed that Caspian could arrange such a magnificent event.
The Stewarts heaved a sigh of relief as well. They had been constantly mocking Caspian before this. They
were worried that Caspian might take revenge on them if he was really such a powerful guy!
Even if Caspian didn’t bother to get back at them, they would feel embarrassed.
In their opinion, except for Caspian, they were ready to accept anyone who was interested in Willow.
Those who had disrespected Caspian before this also hoped that he wasn’t behind this massive event.
Just then, a roar rang out in the sky!
The crowd turned their gaze toward the source of the sound. They witnessed a helicopter, accompanied by eight fighter jets, approaching the Stewart Residence.
Positioned in the center, the helicopter was escorted by the fighter jets. It was an awe-inspiring spectacle.
As the helicopter descended, everyone could see the figure inside it. It was Caspian!
Donning a neat suit, he held a flower bouquet. He exuded the air of a successful businessman. He
radiated confidence and dominance.
Who else could be the groom if not for Caspian?
His arrival left everyb*dy in shock. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
He even had eight fighter jets to escort him! What was his background?
Such a grand scene was beyond their wildest expectations.

Not even the most powerful figures in Southlake City could match this display of grandeur.
Willow felt mixed emotions when she saw Caspian arriving at the eleventh hour. Her eyes welled up with tears. This occasion was beyond her expectations. The man she had been waiting for had finally arrived.
The helicopter landed steadily in an open area. Several groomsmen, dressed in smart suits, disembarked
from the fighter jets.
These groomsmen were elite b*dyguards prearranged by John to ensure Caspian’s safety. They formed
two lines in front of Caspian’s helicopter.
Accompanied by John and Sylvia, Caspian stepped out of the helicopter.
“Oh, my god! That’s John Anderson, a military officer of South Aridlands! What is he doing here?”
Someone in the crowd recognized John. They exclaimed in shock.
“Who on earth is Caspian? Even Mr. Anderson is here to support him!”
“Mr. Anderson is a high-ranking officer in the South Aridlands. Why is he with Caspian?”
More people began to recognize John, and they were astounded.
Nob*dy expected a high-ranking military officer like John to accompany Caspian to pick up his fiancée.
Individuals like him rarely made public appearances, let alone participate in a wedding ceremony.
“The person on Caspian’s right is also a general officer!” Someone noticed the insignia on Sylvia’s attire
and pointed it out.
“Wow! He surely has some real connections! A high-ranking officer and a general officer. How impressive!
someone else exclaimed.
Sylvia had kept a low profile while working with Caspian. Many people didn’t know her true identity. They
only discerned her as a general officer based on her attire.
However, Willow recognized Sylvia and had a vivid impression of her.
Sylvia had come to help Caspian during their gathering. Willow thought it was all part of a show
orchestrated by Caspian.
Now, it seemed like everything was real!
Why would a general officer show such respect to Caspian?
+15 BONUS
What was Caspian’s real identity?
The members of the Stewarts were terrified when they saw this grand scene. Recalling how he
disrespected Caspian before this, Richard was filled with fear.
Nicholas, who had proposed to Willow before Caspian, was scared out of his wits too. Who would have
thought that Caspian had such a formidable background? The humiliation he had heaped upon Caspian
back then seemed like a grave mistake now.
Zoey and her classmates were left dumbfounded. They couldn’t fathom that Caspian’s background was
this powerful.
Even Miranda, who had already known about Caspian’s special identity, was greatly shocked. She knew
Caspian was the CEO of Southlake Corporation, but she didn’t have the full picture. Only now did she
realize Caspian was more than just a wealthy guy. His power exceeded her expectations!
Under the escort of John and Sylvia, Caspian approached Willow with the bouquet of flowers.
Willow felt like she was dreaming. Everything seemed so surreal. Who exactly was Caspian?
Why would such a high-ranking officer show him such respect?
Caspian looked especially dominant and charming now. The regal aura emanating from him created an
invisible pressure. People dared not make eye contact with him.
Caspian had become the center of attention. The crowd fell silent.
Although Sylvia and John were officers, they could only follow obediently behind Caspian and escort him.
Willow teared up. She was overwhelmed with emotions as she watched Caspain approach her step by
step. For a moment, she didn’t know how to react.
“Willow, I’m sorry for being late,” Caspian said softly and handed the bouquet of flowers to Willow.
“Why did you arrive so late? Do you know how long I’ve waited for you?” Willow’s words were somewhat
incoherent. She recalled how her family mocked her earlier, and she felt wronged.
“I had some important matters to attend to. But I promised you I would come and give you an
unprecedented surprise. Do you like it?” Caspian asked.
