The master bedroom was also extravagantly decorated.As soon as they entered the room, Willow asked Caspian seriously, "Are you really just a bodyguard for John?""What else would I be?" Caspian didn't directly reveal his identity. He had another purpose, which was to test Willow's sincerity toward him."If you're just an ordinary bodyguard, why did Sylvia, a mid-level officer, intervene on our behalf during the last gathering? I heard her speak to you with great respect. How do you explain that?" Willow questioned."Didn't I say earlier that it was all an act? You knew the situation during the gathering. It was indeed because I saved John's life that Sylvia helped us," Caspian explained."Is that really true?" Willow was skeptical."Yes, my status isn't as impressive as you imagine. Do you feel disappointed?" Caspian asked."To some extent, yeah, but I am already content. After all, you organized such a grand wedding today. It's the most glorious day I've had in years. I never
"No, of course not. But why didn't you mention it before?" Willow nodded. She realized that now that she and Caspian were married, his foster mother was basically her mother as well now.Currently, Caspian was rushing to the South Aridlands battlefield. It was only natural for her to take care of her foster mother."My identity is special. As a bodyguard to a general, I can't give the enemy any leverage. In order to protect my foster mother, I didn't reveal her to anyone," Caspian explained."That means she didn't attend our wedding. Will she be upset?" Willow asked, feeling a bit worried."Don't worry, my foster mother is easygoing. I've already had Sylvia explain to her, and she will be here later," Caspian said.Willow nodded. She would definitely take good care of his foster mother when he was gone."While I'm away, please take care of yourself. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you for a while. I really hope you can treat my foster mother well and ensure she enjoys a h
Upon returning to the Stewart Residence, Kate told everyone that Caspian was merely an ordinary guard. The members of the Stewart family found it hard to believe.In no time, the news traveled to Alicia and Richard. Upon learning that Caspian was a regular guard and not some big shot, Alicia began planning to cause trouble for him. Meanwhile, Caspian and Sylvia rushed to South Aridlands. After he left, all the soldiers stationed at Southlake City were also withdrawn. The news of Caspian being a mere guard spread like wildfire. And before long, everyone in Southlake City knew about it. Moreover, they also learned the reason behind why he could host a unique wedding ceremony. It was because he had saved John. Hence, the latter came personally to support Caspian. In just one night, the people no longer admired him. Instead, their feelings had turned into disdain and contempt.Initially, they thought Caspian was indeed an influential figure. But after all that, he was simply rely
Willow was worried about Lilith. That was because the latter was unfamiliar with the area. What if something happened to her? Willow drove the Rolls-Royce around, looking for her.Meanwhile, at the park, Billy and his men were about to carry Priscilla into the car. Suddenly, they heard a voice shouting, "What are you doing? Let her go!"As soon as they turned around to look, they realized it was just a woman. They were immediately annoyed. "What the hell are you shouting for? It's the middle of the night! Get lost! Otherwise, you'll regret it!" Billy threatened Lilith. Priscilla was already in a state of despair. Upon hearing someone shouting, she thought she could be saved. But to her dismay, the person was a woman. Priscilla's hopes were crushed once again. "Let the woman go!" Lilith yelled while approaching them. She was somewhat afraid. However, she could not stand by and do nothing when someone was mistreating a woman.At the sight of Lilith walking toward them, Billy b
With a baton in one hand and a knife in the other, Lilith shouted, "Is there no law and order anymore? Whoever comes closer—I'll stab them to death!"Right then, rage overwhelmed her. How dare these thugs prey on an innocent woman in such a place!Back when she was a Girl Scout, she had dealt with many hooligans. Nevertheless, the members of the Flying Dragons remained unfazed. They had the advantage in numbers, anyway.Lilith was merely a woman. How much trouble could she cause for them? If they failed to handle one woman, they could no longer survive in Southlake City. Some of the men wanted to subdue Lilith. But they did not know that during the fight, they had all sustained arm injuries. At that very moment, Lilith considered the Flying Dragons her enemies. She felt as though she had returned to the days when she was a Girl Scout. She was not a woman who would give to someone easily, let alone to such thugs. The members of the Flying Dragons also did not expect an unremark
The members of the Flying Dragons soon noticed Priscilla had escaped. They wanted to capture her, but Lilith stopped them.Willow was also aware that it was useless to beg Derek. Thus, she turned back and returned to her car. "Willow, take the woman and leave! Hurry!" Lilith instructed. She was using all her strength to stop the men from going to them. But Willow could not bear to leave Lilith. "Mom! What about you?""Hurry up and leave! Don't worry about me! Otherwise, none of us can walk away from this place!" Lilith yelled back.The events had taken a turn for the worse. So, Willow dared not waste another second. She told Priscilla, "Quick! Get in the car!" The latter was already frightened. Hence, she did not hesitate and climbed into the car.At the same time, Willow got into the driver's seat. "Mom, get in!" However, Lilith was firmly holding onto several men. It was impossible for her to break free. "Go now! Just leave!" she shouted.This was Willow's first time e
For a while, Willow was in a state of confusion. What would Caspian think about this incident? How would he feel knowing that Kate bullied his foster mother every day? How would he react after learning that Kate chased Lilith out of the villa? And because of that, Lilith was beaten to death on the street."Mom, wake up! Mom!" Willow screamed as her tears flowed uncontrollably. She refused to give up just like that. So, she took out her phone and called for an ambulance. At that moment, Willow's hands were already stained with blood. After that, she called Carl to tell him about what had happened. He had just arrived at the villa when he received the call. "Willow, is something wrong?" asked Carl.Willow cried out, "Dad! Something terrible has happened!"Upon hearing her cries, Carl was startled. However, he remained calm and replied, "What happened? Don't cry. Calm down. What exactly happened?""The members of the Flying Dragons have beaten Madam Ziegler to death!" Willow r
The police bureau's report read, "Lilith Ziegler got into a physical altercation with a citizen. The situation soon escalated into a fight and resulted in the murder of Lilith. The citizen also jumped into a lake and drowned."Willow could tell that the report was completely fabricated nonsense.She was sure that the York family was involved in covering up the incident.She also understood the limits of her own capabilities, as she could not directly confront the almost invincible York family.Willow wanted to notify Caspian about the matter, but she ultimately chose to honor Lilith's instructions and abandoned the thought. She decided that she would tell Caspian once he returned.The incident never became widespread news within Southlake City, being the result of the police bureau's deliberate censorship.Nobody else but Willow and her family would ever know about Lilith's death.Willow retrieved Lilith's body and brought Lilith to her final resting place within the Southlake C
