Chapter 93 Shadows
“But this project is so important. Are you sure that we should hand it to the Stewart family?” Willow asked with surprise.
“That’s right. Mr. Lynch has made arrangements to give your father full authority to handle. the project!” Miranda said.
Willow was once again dumbfounded. “Why? Mr. Lynch is probably not close with my father, isn’t he?”
“I don’t exactly know why either. Perhaps he thinks that Carl would be able to execute the project well.” Miranda simply found an excuse for that.
“That’s great! He certainly would be able to handle this project amazingly!” Willow was so excited that she couldn’t speak properly.
She knew too well about her father’s current situation. He had been ignored by everyone in the Stewart family in recent years. The Stewart Group was always managed by her uncle, Donald, instead. If Carl could work on such an important project, his status in the family would surely
rise.
“You can tell him to come over and go through the formalities then,” Miranda said.
“Okay, I’ll call him right away to tell him about the good news.” As Willow spoke, she pulled out her phone.
“Willow, what’s up?” Seeing that he got a call from his daughter, Carl answered it immediately and asked.
“Dad, the president of Southlake Corporation has decided to hand over a project to the Stewart Group. Also, they’re giving you full authority to work on this project!”
“Me?” Carl said with shock.
“Yeah, the CEO specifically said to let you handle the project,” Willow repeated.
“That’s strange. I don’t think I know the CEO of Southlake Corporation,” Carl asked in confusion.
“You shouldn’t worry about that for now. Just come over and go through the formalities. This isn’t a small project!” Willow was over the moon.
“Alright, I’ll come over now,” Carl said.
“After you enter our company building, come to my office right away,” Willow said.
“Okay.” Carl ended the call and rushed to Southlake Corporation’s company building as soon as he could.

When Carl arrived at Willow’s office, Willow had already prepared all the agreements and. other procedures.
“Dad, this project will be yours once you sign this.”
“I’ll sign right away.” Carl was exhilarated as he spoke.
he could do the project well enough, the Stewart Group would receive tens of millions of dollars in profit!
Delighted, Carl left Southlake Corporation after signing the agreement. He still couldn’t believe what was happening even as he left the company building.
Carl brought the project agreement back to the Stewart Residence and showed it to Marilyn. She grinned from ear to ear.
The Stewart family was surprised upon knowing that Carl was handed an opportunity to collaborate with Southlake Corporation.
“I knew that Willow wouldn’t abandon our family, but I didn’t expect her to be so efficient. She actually managed to snatch an opportunity to collaborate with Southlake Corporation!” Marilyn was overjoyed.
“Once this project is successfully completed, our profits will at least be 60 million dollars!” Carl said excitedly.
“With Willow as the project director of Southlake Corporation, would we ever lack projects to take from now on? This is such exciting news. Let’s have a family dinner party tonight again. Invite Willow and Miranda over for the meal,” Marilyn said.
Then, Marilyn called Willow.
Not having an excuse to turn her down, Willow could only agree to attend.
Unlike yesterday, Willow didn’t drive today. But Caspian was waiting for her downstairs right on time again.
“Grandma invited us for dinner,” Willow told Caspian after seeing him.
“Okay, let’s go then.” Caspian nodded.
He had to follow Willow around these days to protect her. This was to prevent people from the York family and the Flying Dragons from attacking her.
“Your classmate actually allowed a collaboration between Southlake Corporation and the Stewart Group!” The moment Willow got into the car, she said this with a thrill.
“Yeah.” Unbothered, Caspian answered.

This was his own arrangement. There was nothing for him to be surprised about.
“I can’t believe that you’re not surprised at all. I didn’t think your friend would do things to show respect to you!” Willow said.
“I’ve told you that we’re old friends!” Caspian said.
“Thank you so much, Caspian. We wouldn’t have to be afraid of the Stewart family anymore now that we have this project,” Willow looked at Caspian with round watery eyes.
“We’re husband and wife now, why bother thanking me? Oh yeah, don’t forget about what we discussed yesterday,” Caspian said.
Stunned for a second, Willow asked, “What did we talk about yesterday?”
“We agreed that we’ll stay in the same room if I manage to help the Stewart family to get a project,” Caspian said.
That instantly made Willow blush. She wasn’t serious when she brought that up yesterday. She didn’t expect Caspian to actually believe it.
“Okay…” Willow lowered her head shyly.
“It’s just that your bestie is still living at our house for now. We’ll talk about it again after she leaves,” Caspian said.
“Yeah, we can’t do that since she’s staying with us..” As Willow spoke, she felt increasingly embarrassed.
Everyone was there when they arrived at the Stewart Residence.
Today, Willow was definitely put in the spotlight. Everyone was trying to please her. As long as they had Willow here, countless projects would be handed to the Stewart family.
The Stewart family would certainly prosper and succeed.
Caspian, who didn’t say a word during the dinner, suddenly spoke up when the party ended. ” I’m hoping to have a memorial gathering for my foster mother. You guys should join when you’re free.”
Caspian’s words took everyone aback. The atmosphere at the party turned awkward too.
The Stewart family knew what happened to Caspian’s foster mother as well. But what’s the point of having a memorial gathering after so much time had passed?
“I have to manage the Stewart Group, so I won’t be free,” Donald said.
“Her b*dy was buried so long ago. Why should we still mourn her death? It’s not like she’s someone famous. I won’t attend it too,” Henry said.
“I’m way older than your foster mother. It wouldn’t be suitable for me to join such a gathering,” Marilyn said too.
+25 BONUS
Everyone in the Stewart family made it clear that they wouldn’t join the memorial gathering.
When Caspian had his wedding, a lot of people attended because it was a large–scale wedding. It was something to be celebrated too.
This time, nob*dy would join a depressing event such as a memorial gathering. That applied to the Stewart family too.
“Do as you please then,” Caspian said with no expression. This memorial gathering would definitely not be a simple one.
“Caspian, I’ll definitely be there. Don’t worry,” Carl said.
“Thank you, Dad,” Caspian thanked him after hearing that.
On the other hand, Kate was hesitating whether to attend the memorial gathering or not.
When they were on the way back home, Willow asked, “How are you planning to have the memorial gathering? Do you need my help?”
“It’s alright. Someone is handling it. You just have to be there,” Caspian said.
“Of course I will!” Willow said firmly.
They then arrived outside the Riverside Villa.
Caspian felt something strange the moment he stopped the car.
“Stay in the car and don’t move. I’ll head out and check what’s going on!” Caspian quickly said.
“What’s wrong?” Willow was a little shocked as she asked.
“Don’t ask. Lock the car door and don’t come out!” Caspian demanded.
Seeing the serious look on Caspian’s face, Willow nodded.
The moment Caspian exited the car, he saw the shadows of eight men dashing from different directions!
