Chapter 200 Turmoil in Southlake City
Caspian smiled and said, “You should eat more. You’re going to be busy once you reach
your
office.”
Willow was confused. “What do you mean? Southlake Corporation’s business has been
relatively calm these days, and I’m not really busy or anything.”
“Now that Glorious Groun i
is done for, the only remaining powerhouse in our city would be Southlake Corporation.
I’m sure there will be plenty of clients seeking to work with you.”
Willow suddenly recalled that Caspian had ordered his men to deal with Glorious Group
right away in the middle of the night.
He explained, “The CEO and every other higher–up of Glorious Group have been arrested,
and all of their assets have been seized. Basically, Glorious Group is no more.”
Willow was shocked as she slowly took in the fact that a powerful group like Glorious was
taken down in such a short amount of time.
She realized just how scary Caspian’s authority was to be able to demolish Glorious Group
within a few hours.
His immediate action gave them not a single chance to defend themselves.
Willow would no longer have to deal with having a business rival now that Caspian had
come
to her rescue.
“Aren’t you
worried that Tigra might strike back and come after you for taking down Glorious Group?”
asked Willow.
He calmly explained, “They’ll never admit to having any relationship with Glorious Group.”
“Why not? Taylor and his men had always displayed their loyalty to Tigra. Why would they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtjust be left to fend for themselves?
“It would be grounds for war if Tigra admitted that Glorious Group belonged to them as
they tried to harm our country. They can’t possibly win against us in war, and that’s partly
why they’re so desperate to steal our country’s treasures.
“Now that they’ve failed, they can only pretend that nothing had happened so as to
prevent a war from occurring.”
Caspian was relatively knowledgeable in politics as the Diatoranian God of War.
“I see.”
Willow nodded her head and felt that Caspian was basking in a light of glory.

Meanwhile, various media outlets were fighting for a chance to investigate and report on
Glorious Group.
The news eventually made it into the headlines, rousing up the entire Southlake City.
Companies that were anticipating a collaboration with Glorious Group were left in disarray.
They had to simply bear the loss of the money they had invested into Glorious Group.
Not a single soul had expected the group to close down within the month.
Various companies and prominent families were holding meetings to discuss damage
control after Glorious Group’s downfall.
The Stewart family was also holding one.
Meanwhile, in Stewart Residence, Marilyn was distraught. “How did Glorious Group close
their doors all of a sudden? And we’ve just signed a long–term contract with them too!”
Donald replied, “No idea. But according to my intel, all of the higher–ups of Glorious Group
were arrested at five in the morning.”
News about the group’s closure was plastered all across various media and even the
internet.
But nobody could guess what had happened to them.
“Glorious Group was taken down in one fell swoop. Not even the CEO was spared. They’re
definitely done for,” said Carl.
Donald continued, “We’ve invested so much money and signed a long–term contract with
them. Now that their assets are frozen, all of the money we invested is basically no more!”
Marilyn regretted canceling their collaboration with Southlake Corporation. “We should’ve
continued our collaboration with Southlake Corporation. I still can’t believe that Glorious
Group is done for. Our family might not be able to handle this.”
Carl continued, “Mom, although we had only paid the deposit for our investments into
Glorious Group, it’s still a substantial amount of money. Do you have any idea if we can
request our money back? Any amount will do. It’s just to recuperate our losses!”
“Hopefully, the group will resume operation with a new CEO. Otherwise, we Stewarts are
truly done for!” complained Marilyn.
Carl angrily scolded everyone present, “It’s all your fault! You rejected Willow’s offer when
she gave our family such a gracious opportunity and instead went for her competitor. Now
what? We’re reaping what we sowed!”
He was still furious over the fact that nobody in the family had listened to his opinion back
then.

“Calm down, Brother. What use is there to cry over spilled milk? Who could have ever
predicted such a turn of events? We all just wanted the best for the family,” answered
Donald.
“It’s not like we’re out of options just yet. We can still ask Willow for help.”
Marilyn had, in fact, run out of options.
Carl explained, “She won’t possibly help us after we betrayed her. She had already lost all
hope for us back then.”
Various other prestigious families in Southlake City other than the Stewarts were also in
disarray.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Archer family as well as the Hudson family hoped that Glorious Group could still make
a
return.
The consequences would be tremendous if the group simply closed down after receiving
so
much investment.
The business world of Southlake City was in turmoil.
Meanwhile, back in Riverside Villa, Caspian and Willow had just finished their breakfast.
He then drove her to Southlake Corporation’s office building.
“Do you feel bad for being my driver even though you’re a general officer?” asked Willow
with
some embarrassment.
Smiling, Caspian replied, “What’s wrong about sending my wife to work?”
“Hubby, would you try to get revenge on the Stewarts? Considering how they used to treat
you and all.”
“I’m too busy to think about getting my revenge against your family.”
He had never kept the Stewarts in his mind at all.
“What about
asked Caspiau? I’m sure they’ll be coming to ask you for help soon. Will you help them?”
“Absolutely not! They betrayed me and Southlake Corporation when I needed their help
the most. I’ve realized their true intentions since then. They don’t deserve any sympathy
at all!”
Willow was enraged as she recalled her family’s actions.
Caspian nodded his head in agreement as he realized Willow had grown
wiser.
“You’ve grown a lot wiser since then. Anyway, I have an idea,” said Caspian. “Hmm? What
are you thinking?”
