"Please, don't! I don't want to die!" Timothy begged pitifully."Please have mercy. All I did was tease Lady Willow. I didn't do anything else!" Jonathan was scared out of his wits.In the face of death, both men wet themselves out of fright.They had committed their fair share of killing and looting. They were savages themselves. But fear swamped them when they faced such a situation.Timothy was full of regret. He shouldn't have had any ulterior motives toward Willow. Now, he was going to lose his life.Jonathan felt the same way. He didn't do anything at all. He accompanied Xenia to the gathering because he wanted to show off. He merely had some impure intentions toward Willow. Yet his life was now in danger!"Do it!" Sylvia ordered.Bang! Bang! Bang!Several gunshots pierced the air.Timothy and Jonathan were both dead.…Caspian dropped Zoey off outside her apartment.Zoey was worried Caspian couldn't hold the wedding as promised. She offered, "Caspian, let me know i
"Sure! I'll be there with my priciest cars!" promised Jordan."I can even fly there with a helicopter, let alone a luxury car," said Felix."I know the best how to be showy," said Zac."The cars in my garage are getting dusty. I'll bring all of them," said Harris.Sylvia explained, "I wouldn't have troubled you with such matters if it weren't for Ms. Alicia. She is the second daughter of the Stewart family. She insists on competing with Lord Caspian to find out whose wedding is grander."Coincidentally, both weddings are on the same day. So, we need your help to keep up appearances. How could Lord Caspian's wedding lose to someone else's?"Everyone in Southlake City knew about that now."Oh? How arrogant. How dare she compare herself to Lord Caspian? She'll only bring disgrace to herself.""Is she stupid?""We'll be sure to crush her when the day comes!"The heirs expressed their views.Sylvia reminded them, "Alright. That's all. I have other matters to attend to. You're all
"Didn't Caspian say that he wanted to hold a grand wedding to outdo you?" Marilyn fumed. "Tell the Hudson family to book Lunar Hotel entirely! If they think it's too expensive, the Stewart family will pay for it!"I want every single person of importance in Southlake City to attend your wedding. Let's see if Caspian can outdo you then!" "That's a good idea, Grandma! I'll call Richard right now and get the Hudson family to send out a few more invitations," Alicia exclaimed in excitement.She merely wanted to badmouth Willow, but she ended up achieving entirely unexpected results with Marilyn.Much to her surprise, she no longer needed to pay for her own wedding."Caspian said if his wedding isn't as grand as yours, he'll divorce Willow. I'll get someone to prepare the divorce papers. On the day of the wedding, they can sign it on the spot so that we'll be rid of Caspian!" Marilyn added."That means Willow will be signing her divorce papers on the day of her wedding. Just the thou
"I went back to Dhord City the day before yesterday and received the latest update. Our enemies along the border have been growing restless," a grim-faced Sylvia reported."I'll handle this once my wedding's over. I'll consider returning to the battlefield," Caspian announced coolly."With you at the helm, Lord Caspian, no one will dare attack us! Their doom will be upon them!" Sylvia proclaimed with gusto."How are the wedding preparations coming along?"Previously, Caspian left Sylvia in charge of organizing the wedding. Since there were only two days left, he wanted to know how things were coming along."Don't worry, Lord Caspian. Everything's under control. I hired the best experts. You won't be disappointed with the wedding," Sylvia promised."Were you the one who chose the Jade Dragon Grand Hotel?" Caspian asked."That's right." Sylvia nodded."The wedding doesn't need to be too lavish. It was a little unwise of me to instruct you to make it as grand as possible. Now that
"What's so urgent that you have to leave in the middle of the night? Are you just trying to run away now because you can't hold the wedding after all?"Willow assumed that Caspian was trying to flee after having bragged a little too much about the kind of wedding he could give her.She had long considered this possibility.Feeling embarrassed, Caspian said, "Something really did come up. It's very urgent. Trust me.""Whatever. You can do whatever you want. I don't care, not even if you're going off to meet another woman," Willow retorted unhappily.She was becoming more and more disappointed with Caspian. Initially, after the previous gathering, she thought he was somewhat reliable.However, it was hard for her not to feel suspicious when he was leaving at this hour just days before the wedding."Do you think I'd do something like that? In any case, the most gorgeous woman in all of Southlake City is standing before me now. Why would I go off to see another woman?" Caspian count
The most prominent families from Dhord City, such as the Carr family, the Stein family, the Giles family, the Lloyd family, and the Lawson family came over to Southlake City in a grand procession of luxury cars.They were now making their way over to Stewart Residence.Jordan Carr, Felix Stein, Zac Giles, Harris Lloyd, and Sean Lawson were all dressed in their best as they led their respective entourages.Sporting Dhord City license plates, the convoy of million-dollar supercars snaked along the roads of Southlake City. Everyone turned to marvel at the sight.Bright and early that day, all of the most influential figures in Dhord City set off to Southlake City with one goal in mind—to attend Caspian and Willow's wedding.Willow woke up at dawn and started getting ready. Apart from needing to prepare for the wedding, she also could not sleep well last night. Caspian's departure made her feel anxious.Even though they had not been together for long, she was used to having him by he
At this moment, three heavily modified armored off-road vehicles were speeding down the road leading back to Southlake City.Caspian and Sylvia sat in the vehicle in the middle.Subordinates from Diadem Hall rode in the vehicles in front and behind them.Just then, Sylvia got a call from Hugo Webber, the subordinate she put in charge of the wedding arrangements."How are the preparations coming along?" Sylvia asked."General Frost, the prominent families from Dhord City have arrived in Southlake City. All of the preparations have been made. We're now awaiting further orders!" Hugo reported."There's no rush. Tell them to sit tight. Lord Caspian and I are making our way back to Southlake City. Wait until we arrive before heading over to Stewart Residence to pick up the bride," Sylvia instructed."Understood," Hugo replied."You settled the suits and the rings, right?" Sylvia checked."Rest assured, General Frost. Everything's ready," Hugo assured."That will be all for now the
A muted thud rang out. Blood splattered everywhere.The subordinate's face was covered in blood, but he was still alive!"Lord Caspian! You …" Harry Lewis, the man who wanted to shield Caspian from the bullet, had frozen. He was staring at the scene in front of him in shock.Blood was gushing out of Caspian's right arm.During that critical split second, Caspian stuck his arm out to shield Harry.He had used his own arm to protect his subordinate!The moment the bullet struck Caspian, his blood sprayed onto Harry's face.Caspian considered every one of his soldiers his kin. He could not stand by and allow Harry to die protecting him from the bullet.Furthermore, it was a special day today. He was not going to let anything happen to anyone!Harry was stupefied to find that Lord Caspian of all people had shielded him from the bullet.He was ready to die defending Caspian, but instead, it was Caspian who saved him.Sylvia and the others were also thunderstruck to find that Casp
