Lord Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Too Assuming

“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 thought of that alone is humiliating,” Alicia chuckled.

“I will make sure they’re both humiliated. That’s the only way to appease my anger,” Marilyn declared.

Every single person of note in Southlake City received a wedding invitation from the Stewart family and

the Hudson family.

Both families were renowned in Southlake City. With both of them involved in this wedding ceremony, the

major players in the business world would certainly show them respect by attending the event.

The Hudson family did not reserve the Lunar Hotel entirely. They simply booked a few floors. After all, it

would cost too much to book every single room.

They only booked a few more floors because they were afraid too many people would come. It would be

a problem if they did not have enough space for their guests.

Caspian secretly came over to Southlake Corporation and spoke to Miranda.

“Do you need something, Mr. Lynch?” Miranda asked.

“Nope. I just wanted to ask how Willow’s been doing at work lately,” Caspian replied.

“Mrs. Lynch is beautiful and capable. She was able to adjust to her role very quickly. Everything has been going well so far,” Miranda reported.

“That’s good to hear.”

Having said that, Caspian studied Miranda.

Miranda was dressed professionally. Though she was slender, she had curves in all the right places. Her

legs were also particularly eye-catching….

Meanwhile, Miranda realized that Caspian’s gaze was a little odd. She became flustered.

Was Caspian interested in her? If he made his intentions known, should she agree?

Miranda swiftly shot that down. Caspian was married! She did not want to throw herself at him.

That being said, he was a young and capable man. It did not seem that bad to be his mistress…

Miranda’s thoughts made her blush.

“What’s the matter, Ms. Barton? Your cheeks are flushed. Are you feeling unwell?” Caspian asked when he

noticed her reddened face.

“I-It’s nothing. I’m fine.” Miranda snapped out of her reverie. She thought to herself that it would be strange if she did not blush under the intense gaze of a handsome and powerful man like him.

“Alright. I need to trouble you with something,” Caspian said.

“It’s not trouble at all. Just let me know what you need me to do,” Miranda replied.

“My wife Willow and I are holding our wedding ceremony in two days, but she only has one bridesmaid. Things are better in twos, no? That’s why I’d like to ask you to be her bridesmaid. Would you be okay with

that?” Caspian asked.

He stared at Miranda earlier because he had been pondering this question.

Miranda was an attractive woman. She would not look out of place standing next to Zoey.

Most importantly, she was publicly known as the vice president of Southlake Corporation. If she became

Willow’s bridesmaid, the Stewart family would surely look at Willow differently.

Once Caspian finished speaking, Miranda realized she had been too assuming and misunderstood the

situation entirely. He merely wanted her to be a bridesmaid at his wedding.

Surprisingly, she felt a little disappointed.

it’s fine if you don’t want to do it. It’s up to you.” Caspian interpreted Miranda’s silence as reluctance.

Td love to, of course. It would be an honor for me to be a bridesmaid to the president’s wife!” Miranda

declared

Sooner or later, Willow would be running Southlake Corporation. Miranda thought this would be a good opportunity to establish a closer relationship with Willow.

That’s settled, then. Also, I hope you can accompany my wife when she goes dress shopping. Make sure she buys the most expensive and luxurious wedding dress. Don’t worry about the cost.

On the wedding day itself, you, Willow, and her friend Zoey will only need to wait for me,” Caspian

Rest assured, Mr. Lynch. I’ll make sure the job gets done,” Miranda replied.

“Thank you,” Caspian said.

Not at all, Mr. Lynch. There’s one more thing I need to tell you. I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but the Hudson family and the Stewart family have given wedding invitations to every person of importance in Southlake City, Miranda informed.

It’s fine. They’re just a bunch of clowns. Just ignore them,” Caspian remarked.

“But, you said you wish to hold a grand and lavish wedding. Everyone in Southlake City has accepted their invitation. When the time comes, won’t you have fewer guests in attendance?” Miranda asked worriedly.

Tve already made all the arrangements. You just need to remember one thing. My wedding will leave all of Southlake City thunderstruck!” Caspian asserted.

“Something puzzles me, Mr. Lynch, Miranda commented.

What is it?” Caspian asked.

“Why would someone like you willingly put up with the Stewart family’s disrespect?” Miranda voiced her

Maybe because of love? I want Willow to be the happiest woman in the entire world!” Caspian declared.

“Many would envy her, Miranda expressed.

“Anyway, you can go back to work now,” Caspian said.

Alright I get going now, Mr. Lynch.” Miranda walked out.

As soon as Miranda left, Sylvia called Caspian.

“Yes?” Caspian asked.

“Where are you, Lord Caspian? I have matters to report to you,” Sylvia said.

“The CEO’s office at Southlake Corporation,” Caspian replied.

“I’ll be right there.”

Around 15 minutes later, Sylvia appeared before Caspian.

“What is it?” Caspian asked.

“Caspian, it’s best if we talk about this somewhere private. This place…” Sylvia glanced at the security

cameras in the office.

“Let’s go to the rooftop,” Caspian suggested.

The two of them made their way to the rooftop of Southlake Corporation’s building. They had an excellent

view of Southlake City.

The company building was a landmark in Southlake City. Few had access to the rooftop. “What on earth’s going on?” Caspian asked. “You’re being so secretive.”
