Chapter 20 There’s Something Wrong With Them

“That’s right, all you need to do is sign this.”

Seeing the surprised look on Willow’s face, Miranda wondered how shocked Willow would be if she

knew her husband’s real identity.

“Great. I’ll sign it right away,” Willow responded excitedly.

Miranda spoke up after Willow had signed, “We extend a warm welcome to you, Ms. Stewart. From

now on, you’re a part of Southlake Corporation. If there are no exceptional circumstances, you can

begin your work tomorrow.”

“Alright. Thank you, Ms. Barton!” Willow simply couldn’t contain her excitement.

It looked like Caspian didn’t deceive her. He must have a really good relationship with that classmate of

his.

“You’re very welcome, Ms. Stewart. We’re delighted to have someone like you to join Southlake

Corporation.”

It was only a matter of time before Willow became the chairman of the company. There was no way

Miranda dared to be uncourteous toward her.

“You exaggerate, Ms. Barton. I’ll do my absolute best to excel in my job.” Willow was a little

embarrassed to be praised by the vice president of the company.

“Starting tomorrow, all external cooperative projects of Southlake Corporation will be under your

management. However, the CEO has made it clear that the Stewart family is not on the list of potential

collaborators.

“Any agreements to be established with the Stewart family must be approved by the CEO personally,”

Miranda instructed.

“Understood.” Willow was a little puzzled. Why had the Stewart family been excluded from the list of

potential collaborators? Has someone in the family offended the CEO?

However, she didn’t dwell on it for too long. After all, the most joyous thing for her today was becoming

the project director of Southlake Corporation, which was the leading company in Southlake City.

“Alright, you can come to the company tomorrow at 9:00 am to complete your onboarding process,”

Miranda said.

“Thank you, I’ll go back to prepare for now. See you tomorrow!” Willow replied before turning around to

Standing outside of the company, Alicia and Henry looked at the distracted Willow disdainfully.

“You were kicked out, weren’t you? I told you. They look down on our family. You didn’t believe me!”

Henry exclaimed.

“For a second there I really thought you were a fortune teller, Caspian. Looks like you failed this time as

well!” Alicia mocked.

The two siblings left the place shortly after.

Caspian was puzzled after seeing Willow’s demeanor. Had Miranda not followed his instructions?

“How did it go, Willow? Did you fail?” he asked.

“No, I succeeded!” Willow replied exciteury.

“If that’s the case, why do you look so downcast?” Caspian was confused.

“I don’t know. It’s just a little hard to believe,” she said.

“Since you’ve gotten the job, let’s head home now,” Caspian said.

“Okay. I can start working tomorrow,” she said.

“I told stated. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

you that

that you

could do it. The Stewart family would have limited your development anyway,” he

“I didn’t expect you to have such a good relationship with the CEO!” Willow said.

“But why is he the CEO of a big company while you had to rely on winning the lottery to get by despite

being classmates?” she asked.

Caspian fell silent for a moment and said, “Well, he had a wealthy father. Our backgrounds are

incomparable.”

“In any case, I still hope you’ll strive harder,” she said.

“I’ll work hard to take care of our home after the wedding,” he promised.

Once the wedding preparations were over, it was time for him to return to his role as the ruler of

Diatoran.

“At this point, I don’t care about the wedding anymore. It’s okay even if it’s a simple wedding. After all,

I’ve been embarrassed so many times that I don’t care anymore,” Willow replied with a sigh.

This statement made Caspian feel uncomfortable. Willow sounded so beaten down.

He already had his own plans for the wedding.

Since Caspian had chosen Willow, he would definitely give her a grand wedding. He would make her

the happiest woman in the world.

Willow was in high spirits after she had successfully secured the job.

She took Caspian to go shopping and bought some clothes.

“By the way, my best friend, Zoey, told me this morning that there’s going to be a gathering tonight.

Why don’t you join me?”

Willow decided to bring him along because she was in a great mood.

“You want to bring me along?” Caspia

a little surprised.

“That way, you can get to know the people around me. Besides, I would’ve been saved if someone took

a liking to you, right?” Willow teased Caspian jokingly.

“These gatherings are probably all about showing off and talking big. I …” he trailed off.

“Why? Are you going to refuse me?” Willow’s expression tensed. She looked like she was about to get

angry.

“Of course not. My wife is famous for her beauty in Southlake City. I’ll definitely follow you if you’re

attending!” Caspian replied immediately.

“To be honest, I’m not particularly interested in this kind of gathering as well. However, Zoey insisted on

inviting me,” she explained.

“I understand. After all, you and Zoey are best friends. You should go if you want to attend,” he said.

Caspian had heard about Zoey Yanez from Willow.

The two of them shared a close relationship.

A piece of shocking news broke out at 5:00 pm that afternoon.

A mysterious billionaire had paid a deposit of 15 million dollars to book the largest and most luxurious

hotel in Southlake city, the Jade Dragon Grand Hotel!”

Coincidentally, the date of the booking happened to be on the 30th.

“Is there something wrong with that person? They booked all the floors of the hotel. That’s too

“You’re right. These rich people are too much,” Caspian concurred.

Caspian had guessed that this was Sylvia’s arrangement after hearing the news.

He did indeed plan to host an unprecedented wedding. But surely there was no need for Sylvia to book

the entire hotel?

“How coincidental! We’re also planning to have our wedding on the 30th, and now the Jade Dragon

Grand Hotel is booked for the same day. I wonder what event they’re hosting?” Willow remarked.

“Maybe they’re planning to host a wedding,” Caspian suggested.

The thought of someone holding a wedding on the same day as theirs made Willow feel uncomfortable.

Displeased, she asked, “Who is it? Who they have to hold their wedding on the same day as ours?”

Caspian didn’t want to discuss this matter further for now. Everything would be revealed on the 30th.

Revealing it now will only spoil the element of surprise.

Willow took Caspian with her to attend the class gathering as the sky darkened.
