Lord Chapter 353
The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 353 Unreasonable
Seeing as Willow and Kate were about to get into a fight, Saul quickly said, âLetâs just all calm down. Willowâs probably in a bad mood right now.
âAfter all, sheâs the CEO of Southlake Corporation. She must be very busy all day. Itâs normal for her to get irritated easilyâ¦â
âOh, stop with your nonsense! Donât bother acting in front of me, Saul! Even if others donât know what the Masseys have done, I know everything!â Willow snapped in fury.
She was disgusted by Saulâs attempt to be the good guy.
Saul felt humiliated. After all, he was still Willowâs uncle, yet she insulted him without showing him any respect!
He assumed that she had grown haughty ever since she became the CEO of Southlake Corporation.
His eyes flashed viciously, but he soon composed himself.
Alas, Caspian, who was standing in silence, caught the fleeting change in Saulâs emotions.
He quietly watched as the scene unfolded, trying to see what Saul and the Masseys were up to.
âWillow, did you get the wrong idea about me somehow? We should spend more time together. I know youâre under a lot of pressure at work. I wonât hold this against you,â Saul said with a forced smile.
Willow remained expressionless. She didnât buy a single thing Saul said.
Before she became the CEO of Southlake Corporation, the Masseys kept saying her husband was a useless piece of trash and called her a disgrace to the family.
Right now, Saul was beginning to feel regretful.
If he had known Willow would one day become the CEO of Southlake Corporation, he wouldâve certainly established a good relationship with her.
Who knew how powerful the Masseys couldâve become with the help of Southlake Corporation?
âLook how sincere your uncleâs being, Willow, and look at you! You threw a tantrum the moment you came into the house. Weâre your elders, you know. Shouldnât you be a little more polite?â Kate rebuked.
Willow was infuriated, She couldnât believe that Kate had the gall to lecture her.
Fearing that she would lose her composure, she kept quiet and sat down on the couch.
As Willow hadnât responded, Kate dared not say anything else.
In the past, she wouldâve most definitely continued lecturing Willow. But as she needed to convince Willow and Caspian to help the Masseys later, she figured it was best if she didnât press the matter now.
Just then, Cora and Flora entered the house.
Cora was dressed shabbily, and she looked uncomfortable. Flora stuck close to Cora and looked around timidly.
âWhere did these two beggars come from? Who allowed you to enter the house?â Kate screeched.
She thought Cora and Flora were beggars. In fact, even beggars dressed better than they did. âUhâ¦â Cora stammered. She didnât know what to say.
It was her first time entering such a massive house, and she felt incredibly uncomfortable.
âMom! Stay out of this. I hired Madam Upton to be my housekeeper,â Willow said with a frown.
âWhat did you say?â Kate exclaimed. âWhy did you hire a beggar? And look! She even has a retard with her!â
Kate could tell that Flora was different from normal people. Judging by Floraâs absentâminded gaze, Kate figured the young woman was intellectually disabled.
âWillow, even though I donât want to meddle with how you run your household, I still need to give you a word of advice.
âYou canât hire people like them to work for you. Who knows? They might turn out to be thieves! Youâll regret this decision once things start going missing!â Kate declared.
She was humiliated by the fact that Willow wanted to hire a beggar as her housekeeper. If word got out, everyone would laugh at her.
She had finally established a respectable image in front of all her friends. It would be terrible. to let a beggar ruin all her efforts.
âThis has nothing to do with you! This is my house! I can hire anyone I want. Not only am I hiring her, but Iâm going to let her stay with me, too!
âYouâre calling her a thief, huh? What do you have to say about the keys you have, then?â Willow questioned icily.
She was not going to tolerate Kateâs nonsense anymore.
âYou! Are you determined to go against me?â Kate shrieked in outrage. âI donât care! Youâre
2/1
a beggar as her housekeeper? Iâm going to kick her out of the house right now!â
âMom! Stop being so unreasonable!â Willow retorted in anger.
Kate was being as absurd as ever!
âThank you for all your help, Ms. Stewart. Youâve already done a lot for me. I think we should go,â Cora said. The fi
between Kate and Willow made her upset, too.
Having decided to leave, she took Floraâs hand.
âMadam Upton!â Willow quickly called out.
âHurry up and get lost! Take a look at yourself. How can you even think about working in such a grand villa? Do you think youâre good enough?â Kate scoffed with a look of disdain.

âThatâs right! Willow, as your uncle, I have to talk some sense into you, too. Youâre the CEO of Southlake Corporation now. It wouldnât be good for your reputation if people found out your hired a beggar to be your housekeeper,â Saul chimed in.
Cora turned away. She was upset by the things Kate and Saul said about her. Even though life. was tough, she lived with dignity still. Yet, Kateâs words cut her deeply.
They werenât beggars. Cora relied on no one but herself to support herself and Flora.
Even though Flora was intellectually disabled, that didnât make her a retard. Kateâs insults gave Cora the urge to rip Kateâs tongue out.
She didnât care what others said about her. She could put up with that. However, she would never allow anyone to insult Flora. In her eyes, Flora was the best daughter in the world. No one compared to her..
Kateâs words were far too hurtful. Cora had never done a single dishonest thing in her life. She worked hard for an honest living, yet Kate accused her of being a thief.
Nevertheless, Cora knew she came from a lowly background. Despite being insulted, she dared not say anythingâshe was too afraid to put up a fight.
Still
Flora by the hand/ Cora immediately walked out of the living room. Perhaps they shouldnât have come over after all.
