Chapter 12 We’ll Have Our Wedding Too
Upon hearing Marilyn’s harsh words, tears streaked down Willow’s cheeks.
“There, Grandma has spoken. Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself?”
“That’s right! This loser is just plain shameless. His butt is glued to the chair! Not everyone can come into
the Stewart Residence as they please.”
“Who knew how they hooked up with each other? Oh, it can’t be … Willow, did that loser assault you?”
“Willow, hurry up and get lost! Take that loser with you.”
At that moment, Willow and Caspian became the target of criticism.
The Stewarts hurled nasty words at them.
Carl and Kate sat awkwardly in a corner. They were seething and didn’t plan on backing up their daughter.
Before coming, Willow brought Caspian and was hopeful they would obtain her family’s blessings.
But she never expected her family to condemn her. In fact, some even suspected she had to marry
Caspian because he assaulted her.
She couldn’t hold back her tears in the face of their baseless criticism and suspicion.
Caspian didn’t have the mood to stay there any longer. He held her hand and turned to leave.
However, something unexpected happened.
Just as Caspian stood and turned around, his elbow bumped into the emerald ornament behind him.
It was the emerald ornament Alicia gifted Marilyn.
The ornament wobbled. Luckily, it didn’t fall.
Alicia fumed when she saw that.
“Hey, loser. Watch where you’re going! You almost smashed the present I gave Grandma. Are you trying to cause trouble here?” As she yelled, she picked up the plate before her and flung it at him.
Caspian sensed something coming at him. He immediately turned and threw out his fist.
Crash!
The plate smashed into pieces when it met his fist.
However, the food residue on it splattered onto his shirt.
He didn’t mean to bump into that ornament. He also didn’t expect Alicia to hurl a plate at him just
because of that.
Was he not a human to her?
These people had been spitting foul words at him the moment he stepped into the house.
He endured everything for Willow’s sake.
But he had reached his limit. This time, he was truly angered.
Suddenly, everyone felt a foreboding sense of danger.
Caspian’s eyes were as cold as frost as they focused on Alicia.
The Stewarts were still insulting them when that happened. But now, an abrupt silence fell. novelbin
Caspian was glaring at them with merciless eyes.
No one there had seen such menacing eyes. They couldn’t help but shudder and shrunk back.
Who would’ve guessed the quiet loser would fly into a rage on the spot?
They could even sense his wish to beat them up and quell his anger with their blood.
“Caspian, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Willow hurriedly stopped him when she noticed his threatening
look.
When he saw her tug his hand, he withdrew his intimidating aura.
Right now, he was hiding out in the city. Although he was Lord Caspian, he couldn’t kill anyone publicly.
No one on earth had dared to attack him.
If they did, his subordinates would act before he did. They would chop the enemy into pieces as a
warning to others.
That was because insulting Lord Caspian was akin to insulting Diatoran’s pride!
Willow wiped her tears as she roared at Alicia, “Alicia, that’s too much! Caspian is your cousin-in-law, and he’s older than you. How can you throw a plate at him?”
She couldn’t hold herself back any longer after what Alicia did.

Alicia had recovered from the shock she had. She wasn’t afraid of Caspian now that his eyes were back
to normal.
It must have been an illusion. She was the second daughter of the Stewart family. How could an ordinary
white-collar worker have the guts to glare at her?
Besides, any guy with some strength would be able to smash a plate with his fist.
Alicia said arrogantly, “Willow, he almost smashed the present I gave Grandma. When someone like him.
commits a mistake in our house, he should be prepared to receive his punishment. Then only will he
remember what he has done wrong.”
Alicia had been living in Willow’s shadow since she was young. Their grandfather, who was the head of
the family then, doted on Willow.
Therefore, Alicia had always borne resentment toward her cousin.
However, their grandfather passed away two years ago, and that was when Willow fell from grace.
After much effort, Alicia finally reached where she was now among the Stewarts.
Willow retorted, “Caspian is my husband. He didn’t do that on purpose. Besides, your gift is sitting on that table, intact. You should be mindful of who you answer to. Even if he makes a mistake, it’s not your right to punish him!”
Caspian looked at her in surprise. He never thought his wife would firmly stand before him when
someone bullied him.
Though she was pretty frank…
Still, he was slightly moved.
“Hah! I agree I should be mindful of who I answer to. But that depends on your status in this family. It depends on whether or not you deserve to be shown respect!”
Alicia had just scored a collaboration with Southlake Corporation. Because of that, she stuck her nose up in the air and looked down on Willow.
“You…” Willow was so angry she didn’t know what to say.
Marilyn put down her utensils, She calmly came to Alicia’s rescue. “Alright, Alicia didn’t do that deliberately. She had only thrown the plate lightly. Why do you have to stir up a fuss? You two are cousins. Don’t fight over an outsider. Sit down and enjoy the feast!”
Noticing how lenient Marilyn was toward Alicia, Willow sobbed again.
She felt wronged. “She didn’t do it deliberately? Fine, I’ll leave!”
She took Caspian’s hand and turned to leave.
“Willow, don’t go so fast. I have something to inform you about,” Alicia said from behind as they were
about to leave.
“What is it? Make it quick!” Willow snapped.
Alicia took the chance to subtly mock Willow. “Richard and I will have our wedding on the 30th of this month. As a Stewart, I’ll have a proper wedding ceremony and reception.
“I can’t just lead some weird guy back home and claim he is my husband. Or else, others will talk behind
my back.”
Willow looked like she had eaten something disgusting. Alicia was definitely mocking her.
Everything happened too fast. Willow hadn’t thought about their wedding ceremony at all.
“As women, we must wear a wedding gown at least once in our lives. We can’t just get a marriage certificate and consider ourselves married. You guys must be too broke to have a proper wedding
ceremony.
“How about this? Be my bridesmaid on my wedding day. You can still experience the joy of having a wedding even though you can’t afford it. Remember to come early on that day. You’re going to be my
bridesmaid!”
Alicia looked mockingly at her.
It wasn’t that Willow didn’t couldn’t afford a wedding. Everything happened in a blink of an eye.
After getting their marriage certificates, she couldn’t wait to bring him home to meet her family.
Who would’ve thought they would face so much criticism?
At that moment, she felt immensely annoyed at Alicia’s words.
She didn’t give a damn about being someone else’s bridesmaid!
Just then, Caspian, who had been quiet, spoke, “Your sister and Lare married. She’s not suitable to be
your bridesmaid.
“Coincidentally, we’ll have our wedding ceremony on that day too. It’ll be grand enough to shake
Southlake.”
The Stewarts gaped at that.
Then, he continued, “Our wedding will be a thousand times grander than yours. By then, my wife, Willow will be the most envied bride in Southlake. So, you’d better find another bridesmaid.”
He made an important decision the moment Willow spoke up for him. He was going to reassume his role
as Lord Caspian!
During this past year, he had been hiding in this city. He was here to recover from his wounds.
Then, he met Melanie.
He thought Melanie was his true love. He planned to reveal his identity to her on his birthday. Then, he
would ensure she lived the good life. Alas, she wasn’t the one for him!
Now, a woman willingly stood before him and backed him up!
He wanted her to lead a glorious life!
At present, the situation at the borders was unpredictable. He had fully recovered, and it was the time for
the world to see his might again!
He was born to dominate!
