Chapter 352 A Bunch of Hypocrites

After giving it much thought, Kate finally said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you,

Jessica, but Caspian and Willow have moved out now. Even though I’m Willow’s mother, I

can’t get involved in all of their matters…”

Actually, Kate was wary of Caspian. If Willow hadn’t asked for mercy on her behalf, she

might’ve been dead by now. She didn’t want to do anything that would offend Caspian.

“What are you saying, Kate?” Saul exclaimed. “Willow’s your daughter, and Caspian’s your

son -in–law. They have to listen to you, of course!

“And furthermore, Jessica had no idea what Eric had been doing. You just need to tell

Caspian and Willow not to report this matter to anyone else!”

He continued with a smile, “Even if Caspian doesn’t listen to you, I’m sure Willow does,

right? What would people think if they found out you can’t even get your own daughter to

listen to you?”

Kate was hesitant. She wasn’t sure whether Willow would listen to her anymore.

Willow had claimed she wanted to cut off all ties with the Stewarts, and Kate didn’t know if

Willow’s anger had subsided yet.

However, she was still Willow’s mother. Even though they weren’t biologically related, she

did raise Willow herself.

All she had to do was say a few nice things and insist on getting her way, no matter how

unreasonable it seemed. Perhaps that would be enough to convince Willow to relent.

“Fine. I’ll give it a shot, but I can’t guarantee you’ll get the results you want,” Kate said.

She dared not make any promises. Otherwise, it would be too awkward for her if Caspian

and Willow refused her appeal.

Saul and Jessica smiled as they exchanged looks.

“Thanks, Aunt Kate!” Jessica cried out happily.

“As long as Caspian and Willow don’t report this matter, I’ll give you 200 million dollars to

thank you for your help. How about it?” Saul made his tempting offer with a smirk.

200 million dollars?

Kate’s eyes lit up the moment she heard she could get 200 million dollars from Saul.

“Don’t worry, Saul! I’ll definitely convince them not to report anything. We’re all family,

aren’t we?

“We shouldn’t harm each other. I’m sure Willow will make sure Caspian does as she “Kate

says, too!

The amount was nothing to sneeze at, and Kate was positively drooling. Who would say no

to money?

All along, Kate didn’t have it easy living with the Stewarts. The situation only improved

recently,

Therefore, if she got her hands on the 200 million dollars from Saul, she could spend

lavishly on herself.

Kate figured that Willow would have to show her some respect and give in for the sake of

their relationship.

Noting Kate’s reaction, Saul knew everything was settled.

He began to feel smug again.

Saul understood Kate very well. As long as he offered her a reward, she wouldn’t be able

to resis

the temptation. But if he didn’t offer her something in return, she would refuse to help

him.

Meanwhile, Kevin was stupefied.

Jessica and Saul were such good actors!

They had begun their act from the moment they walked into Stewart Residence, and they

could even shed tears on command.

All of a sudden, he felt as if he didn’t know them all that well after all. They were like

strangers to him now.

“Let’s go. We’ll head over to Riverside Villa to see Willow,” Kate said.

The group drove over to Riverside Villa, but no one was around.

“They’re not home? Well, we’ll go in and wait for them,” Kate said as she brought out a set

of keys.

She had secretly made a set of keys to Riverside Villa a while back.

“I didn’t know you had the keys to the villa, Aunt Kate,” Jessica remarked in surprise.

“Of course! I’m Willow’s mom. Isn’t it perfectly reasonable for me to enter her house.

whenever I please? Even if I wanted to move in here, they wouldn’t say a word!” Kate

bragged.

In reality, she felt uneasy the moment she said those words. But as she had already

bragged as

of the place.

Everyone sat in the living room and waited.

Ten minutes later, they heard sounds coming from outside the villa.

Caspian and Willow were back.

Upon hearing the commotion, Saul grew nervous. Where did Caspian and Willow go?

Did they drop by the Inspector General’s office earlier?

“Huh? What’s going on? Why is the front door open? Did someone break into our house?”

Willow gasped anxiously.

She and Caspian hurried into the living room, only to find Kate and the others sitting there.

The moment Caspian saw them, he glared at them with a murderous gaze.

He and Willow were the only ones with keys to the villa’s main gate, and there was a

fingerprint scanner installed at the front door. How did these people get in?

Caspian’s eyes fell on Kate. He was sure it was her doing.

“Willow! You’re finally back. Where were you two?” Kate pretended to greet the two

cheerfully.

“How did you guys get in?” Willow questioned icily.

She didn’t want to answer Kate.

Since there were other people around, she didn’t want to say much, but she wanted to

know how they managed to enter her house without permission.

“Aunt Kate has the keys to the house, Willow. Why are you surprised?” Jessica asked.

In an instant, Kate’s expression became a little unpleasant.

“What?” Willow exclaimed. Frowning, she reined in her anger and asked, “Mom! How did

you get the keys to my house?”

She never gave Kate a set of keys to Riverside Villa.

If not for the others present, she wouldn’t even acknowledge Kate as her mother. After all,

they weren’t related by blood.

“I stayed at the house a while back, didn’t I? Well, I forgot to give the keys back to you

then, so I figured I’d just bring them over now,” Kate said with a sheepish chuckle.

At last, Saul and the others realized that Kate’s relationship with Willow was unlike what

“Let’s not talk about this right now. Your uncle’s here to see you. Why aren’t you greeting

him? “Kate quickly changed the subject.

“Here to see me? Why would he have the nerve to come and see me?” Willow scoffed as

she eyed Saul in displeasure.

After what happened with Cora and the Masseys, Willow detested the Masseys through

and through.

“How can you be so rude…” Kate admonished with a stiff expression.

It was one thing for Willow to treat her differently, but she shouldn’t be treating Saul so

coldly.

“You know nothing! Do you know what he has done in Southlake City? He’s been running a

loan shark business and casinos! Who knows how many lives he has ruined?

“Everyone hates the Masseys now! A guy like him doesn’t deserve to be my uncle!” Willow

shrieked in anger.

The entire incident with Cora and Flora made Willow realize just what kind of people the

Masseys truly were.

She no longer wanted to have anything to do with them.

If not for the fact that Kate did raise her, she would’ve ignored Kate as well.

“How can you say that, Willow? He’s your uncle! I know you’re displeased with me, can’t

treat your uncle this way!” Kate rebuked, feeling humiliated.

“It’s fine! I’m sure Willow just doesn’t know me very well. It’s been a long time since we

last met. Or, maybe she misunderstood something about me,” Saul quickly said.
