Lord Chapter 17

Chapter 17 You Have No Right to Intervene

“Do you want to lay a hand on me? Come on, then! What’s with the hesitation?” Caspian spoke with a chilling tone.

At that moment, there was no way Richard dared to say anything else. Faced with Caspian’s imposing demeanor, his defenses had all but collapsed.

Richard did not even dare to breathe loudly.

“Did you think that I was an easy person to mess with? If this were in the past, you would’ve been dead because of your actions! But now, I can’t be bothered to deal with your ignorance.”

Caspian rented a bicycle and left after he spoke, leaving behind a dazed Richard and Alicia in shock.

“Are you okay, Richard?” Alicia asked in concern.

She hurriedly helped the visibly shaken Richard up.

“I-I’m fine.” Richard still felt intimidated.

“That bastard looked like he wanted to devour someone! Why did Caspian have such an expression?”

Caspian felt like a complete demon to Alicia just now.

“Really? It wasn’t that bad. I only fell because I lost my balance earlier. Otherwise, I would have knocked his teeth out!”

Richard forced himself to stand firmly.

He casually brushed off the situation because he didn’t want to be humiliated in front of Alicia.

Alicia naturally understood his intentions.

“That good-for-nothing must have been rejected for the interview here. That’s why he came to us to vent his frustrations.

“There’s no need for us to bother with losers like him. Let’s see what he can compete with us for on the day of the wedding on the 30th!” she said.

“That’s settled then. Willow must divorce him on that day!” Richard said coldly.

Caspian had just returned home. He was about to step into the living room when he heard Kate’s relentless yelling.

“Willow, listen to your mother and cut ties with that loser. Divorce him immediately and marry Mr. Nicholas on the 30th.

“Only by marrying into the Archer family can you prevent Alicia from overshadowing you.

“To think that loser even dared to boast that he would hold a grander wedding than Richard and Alicia.

“Now, everyone has already heard the news that your wedding will be held on the 30th of the month. How can we compete with them when they’ve already booked Lunar Hotel?

“The only hotel that can be comparable to Lunar Hotel at Southlake City is Jade Dragon Grand Hotel.

“However, it’s impossible for that loser to hold the wedding there! Even your grandma has never set foot in that hotel despite her age!” Kate exclaimed.

“If you’re willing to marry Mr. Nicholas, he can book the entire flor Lunar Hotel and give you a grand wedding. Our family will no longer need to put up with anyone’s attitude in the future.

“That way, you and Alicia’s wedding will also be on par. Just think about it, the two of you reserving two floors at the Lunar Hotel to hold your weddings would bring unprecedented glory to the Stewart family!”

Kate continued to advise Willow. “As long as you’re willing to accept Mr. Nicholas, our family’s position will be stable within the Stewart family. There won’t be a need for us to please anyone else in the future.

“The reason why they’re so arrogant now is because Alicia married a rich husband! But look at you, marrying such a good-for-nothing!”

Caspian had roughly grasped the situation after hearing Kate’s words.

His mother-in-law wanted Willow to leave him and marry Nicholas from the Archer family.

His heart sank. There were only a few days before the 30th of the month. By then, the grand wedding he had asked Sylvia to arrange would surely outshine Alicia’s.

“I don’t agree with this, Mom. I don’t want to leave Caspian.” Willow’s agitated voice echoed out.

“How can you be so stubborn after all the advice I’ve given you? What kind of a life can you have with such a useless person? Are you willing to live such a lowly life forever?” Kate asked frustratedly.

“It’s because I love him,” Willow stated firmly.

Caspian’s l*ps curled up slightly upon hearing her words.

He hadn’t expected to become such an important person to Willow in such a short time.

It seemed that his efforts to help her were worthwhile.

“How could you fall in love with a loser like him? Are you out of your mind?”

Kate was so upset that she was unable to speak coherently.

The next moment, a man’s voice rang out. “Willow, that loser is just an insignificant employee in your company. What kind of relationship could the two of you even have? Don’t tell me you really believe that he can give you a grand wedding?”

Although Caspian was unfamiliar with the voice, he had already figured out who it belonged to.

It was Nicholas Archer, the man who had been pursuing Willow aggressively.

But what surprised Caspian was that Kate had brought Nicholas directly to their house!

“Willow, you know my feelings for you. Your past doesn’t matter to me. Will you marry me?” Nicholas spoke up again.

However, Kate still had some reservations.

“Although Willow has married that loser, they have yet to sleep together. She’s still a virgin,” she interjected.

“Mom! Why are you saying all this?” Willow was both annoyed and embarrassed.

“I’m just telling the truth. What’s the problem with that?” Kate asked.

“Let’s stop here. Caspian promised to give me a grand wedding on the 30th. I believe him!” Willow said.

“Have you been bewitched by him? To think you would believe in his nonsense! How can a good-for- nothing without a proper job like him afford to have a grand wedding? He’s deceiving you!” Kate exclaimed.

“Even if Caspian doesn’t have the financial means, I still won’t leave him! I don’t care about all that. All I ask is for him to treat me wholeheartedly. Please stop talking about this!” Willow’s patience had worn thin.

Willow’s words showed Caspian her stance and persistence in upholding their marriage. He couldn’t help but be moved.

He pushed open the door and entered without hesitation.

“You’re back, Caspian!” Willow breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw him.

“Mom, to think you had time today for a cup of tea!” Caspian greeted Kate. He pretended to be oblivious to the entire matter.

Sitting on the sofa was a good-looking young man.

This was none other than Nicholas Archer, who had been pursuing Willow relentlessly.

Caspian treated Nicholas as if he were invisible.

Kate felt indifferent when she saw Caspian.

Ignoring his presence, she continued to speak to Willow. “Listen to me, Willow. Mr. Nicholas is our only savior now. Stop being so stubborn.”

“My decision is final, Mom! Stop bringing it up!” Willow’s face was red from the awkwardness.

“Willow, I’ve received reliable information. Southlake Corporation has terminated its collaboration with the Stewart and Hudson families.

“Only the Archer family has not been affected in any way. This only proves to show how strong their background is. Everyone will look up to us if you marry Mr. Nichola e implored.

Unable to wait a second longer, Nicholas took out an exquisite square box. Ignoring Caspian completely, he got down on one knee, and held the opened box in front of Willow.

“Willow, will you marry me?”

A valuable diamond ring lay sparkling inside the box.

Willow was taken aback. This scene was completely unexpected. After all, Caspian was still there.

Caspian was also surprised. Nicholas was indeed shameless. How dare he try to snatch his wife in front of his very eyes?

“What are you waiting for, Willow? Accept his proposal! Look at how big the diamond is. It looks very valuable!” Kate said hurriedly as her eyes widened in awe. 1

“This is nothing, Mrs. Kate. It’s only worth around 40 to 50 thousand dollars. Once Willow marries into our family, she can have anything that she wants,” Nicholas replied smugly.

Kate was all smiles. “40 to 50 thousand dollars is still a small amount to you? The Archer family is truly well-off!”

“Mr. Nicholas comes from a wealthy background. He’s also received a good education abroad. He’s a hundred times better than that spineless husband of yours in every aspect! There’s no way Caspian could afford a ring like this! So, hurry up and accept the proposal!” Kate urged again.

“No! I won’t agree no matter what. My heart belongs to Caspian,” Willow refused.

Kate was completely dumbfounded. She had spent so much effort to convince Willow, but she still did

“Regardless of what you think, Willow. You should wear the ring first!” Nicholas said as he tried to grab her delicate hand.

All of a sudden, a strong hand clamped down firmly on Nicholas’ wrist.

“Argh! It hurts…” It felt like a knife had stabbed Nicholas’ hand. His hand felt like it was about to be torn apart.

He loosened his grip on the diamond ring, and it fell to the floor.

Caspian had intervened to stop Nicholas..

Caspian was all but indifferent to these matters after experiencing so many hardships. However, he could not tolerate Nicholas’ arrogance.

Wouldn’t he be ridiculed as the ruler of Diatoran if he allowed his wil be bullied?

“I’ve already ordered an engagement ring for Willow. You have no right to give her a ring!”

Caspian’s tone was resolute, leaving no room for questions.

C

A diamond ring worth a few tens of thousands was nothing to Caspian. Only the most dazzling diamond ring in the world would match his wife!
