Chapter 357 50 Million Dollars in Compensation
Seeing that Saul had apologized, Jessica and Kevin lowered their heads.
Meanwhile, Cora was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she started trembling.
All the aggrievedness she felt exploded out of her, and her tears kept flowing.
She was indeed a member of the lowest ranks of society.
If not for Caspian, she and Flora might be dead by now.
Cora led Flora over to Caspian and Willow. Then, nodding, she said, “Mr. Lynch, Ms.
Stewart, thank you so much.
She dared not imagine what would’ve happened to her and Flora if they hadn’t met
Caspian and Willow.
The Masseys had no regard for unimportant people like her.
Meanwhile, her sobs got on Saul’s nerves.
Exasperated, he took out a check and scribbled a figure on it.
“Here!” Saul said as he passed the check to Cora with great reluctance. His heart ached
for the money he had to spend. After all, 50 million dollars was no small sum.
But because of Caspian, he had to fork out all that money.
Saul was disgruntled, but he couldn’t do anything about it. If he didn’t hand over the
money, Caspian might get the authorities to investigate the Masseys. If that happened,
the family would lose far more than just 50 million dollars.
It might spell the end for the entire Massey family.
Saul didn’t want to win the battle but lose the war. He could still discern what was truly
important.
“That’s…”
Cora froze in shock as she stared at the 50 million dollar check.
Hands trembling, she dared not take it.
50 million dollars was an unimaginable sum to Cora.
She only earned a little more than a thousand a month as a street cleaner. She would
never earn 50 million dollars in her lifetime.
Her sudden change in fortune overwhelmed her.

“What’s the matter? You don’t want it? I’ll take it back if you don’t,” Saul snapped.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe wanted to get out of this place at once. Just the sight of Caspian alone suffocated him
and reminded him of the amount of money he was losing—courtesy of the former.
“Well…”
Cora was still hesitant. She didn’t know whether to take the check or not.
She glanced at Caspian to seek his opinion.
“Take it, Madam Upton. You deserve to be compensated. Go on. With me around, no one
will dare to do anything to you,” Caspian declared coolly.
He knew what she was worried about. Compared to the Masseys, she was like an
insignificant speck of dust. Furthermore, she had witnessed just how vicious the Masseys
were.
The Masseys could easily wipe her off the face of this planet if they wanted to.
With Caspian’s assurance, Cora finally had the guts to reach out and take the check,
though. her hands kept trembling the whole time.
It was 50 million dollars! What an unthinkable sum that was to her.
Cora couldn’t describe the emotions she felt.
Meanwhile, Saul was upset beyond words.
After taking a deep breath to compose himself, Saul looked at Caspian and asked, “We can
leave now, right?”
“Sure,” Caspian replied with a nod. “But before that, I have a word of advice.”
His expression turned icy as he continued, “There’s no way of hiding the truth. You know
very well what you Masseys have done. If you want to save yourselves before it’s too late,
turn yourselves in. Maybe you’ll get a more lenient sentence.”
Saul stiffened.
He picked up on the hostility in Caspian’s words and figured the latter didn’t intend to let
the Masseys off the hook.
Caspian was merely holding back for the time being,
Faking innocence, Saul retorted, “That’s nonsense. I don’t know what the hell you’re
saying!”
In reality, he was fraught with anxiety.
“Let’s go!” Saul barked before leading Jessica and Kevin out of Riverside Villa.
As Kevin walked out, he glanced at Eric. He knew that Eric was done for.

Eric was still kneeling with a hollow expression, while Diego was lying injured on the floor.
Caspian glanced at both men before instructing, “Take them away. Hand them over to the
Inspector General’s office!”
“Mr. Lynch! Please have mercy! Since I gave you the records, please go easy on me!”
Diego shouted.
Alas, no matter what he said, Caspian remained unmoved.
On the other hand, Eric didn’t even bother to speak. He didn’t want to fight to get out of
this situation anymore. He knew it was pointless, so he didn’t want to waste his breath.
“Hubby, is the situation really that simple?” Willow murmured after approaching Caspian.
She had remained quiet all along because she didn’t think it was right for her to get
involved.
After all, Saul was still her uncle, and she didn’t want the Masseys to end up too terribly.
However, deep down inside, she knew that Eric couldn’t have committed all those crimes
alone.
Therefore, she didn’t try to put in a good word for the Masseys. If she did, she would’ve
felt bad for all the people who had suffered at the hands of the Massey family.
Willow chose to have faith in Caspian, and from the looks of it now, he didn’t seem to be
going after the Masseys. That was rather unlike him.
“It’s not that simple, of course. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated,” Caspian
replied with a faint smile.
Willow shook her head sullenly. True enough, things weren’t quite so simple, and Caspian
would get to the bottom of things.
Alas, the Masseys had brought the whole thing upon themselves.
Meanwhile, Kate’s greed was stirred up by the 50 million dollar check that Cora was
holding.
She didn’t care about the situation between Caspian and the Masseys.
It didn’t matter that she was a Massey. All she cared about was money!
Walking up to Cora with a haughty expression, Kate shamelessly held out her hand and
shrieked, “Hand the money over!”
With a scornful expression, she continued, “A street cleaner like you doesn’t deserve to
have 50 million dollars! Have you no shame? Can you even live with yourself if you accept
the money?”

Cora froze. She thought Kate had a point. She shouldn’t be accepting this money.
3/4
+15 BONUS
Since Kate was Willow’s mother and Caspian’s mother–in–law, it seemed reasonable
enough to give the money to Kate instead.
But Cora didn’t understand why Kate had to degrade her that way. Why did a man as
principled and righteous as Caspian have such an unreasonable mother–in–law?
Nevertheless, Cora dared not say anything. After all, she was merely an impoverished
member of society.
Kate was p
pleased with Cora’s silence. She reached out to snatch the check away from Cora.
“Hold it!” Caspian snapped as he came over.
He grabbed the check and stuffed it into Cora’s pocket.
“This money is rightfully yours, Madam Upton. No one can take it away from you! Don’t
mind what anyone else tries to do. All you have to do is keep the money. Remember, now.
This is your money! No one can snatch it from you!”
