The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

could have the villa to themselves.

With that plan in mind, she started to make things difficult for Lilith. Kate would

deliberately throw stuff on the floor and then demand Lilith to clean it up. She would even

spill coffee on the floor, asking Lilith to mop it up.

Lilith was merely an ordinary woman from the countryside. Yet, she spent most of her time

in the villa doing house chores.

But, of course, Willow and Carl were completely unaware of this.

Though Lilith was willing to do the chores without complaints, she also had a temper. She

started to feel upset as Kate bossed her around every day.

If it were not because she had made a promise to Caspian, Lilith would have left. She

could not

help but think that life in the countryside was much better.

Then, one late evening, Willow and Carl still had not returned.

“Lilith, pour some water for me. I want to wash my feet,” Kate ordered.

But Lilith did not retort. After Kate was done washing her feet, she started bossing Lilith

around again.

“You look like you have a lot of free time. Go pour out the water, then,” Kate instructed

while lounging on the couch.

Lilith did not expect Kate’s behavior to become so absurd. In an instant, fury overwhelmed

the former. “I’m not your maid! I won’t do this!

“I clean up the house for the sake of my child. Why should I serve you?”

“You’re a woman from the countryside, and now you get to live in such a lovely villa.

What’s wrong with asking you to do a few chores?

“The apple never falls far from the tree. You’re just as useless as Caspian!” Kate yelled. As

she spoke, she kicked the basin, spilling the water everywhere.

She continued shouting, “Clean this up now! Otherwise, get out of this villa! Don’t stay

here any longer!”

“Fine! I’m leaving right now!” Lilith snapped. She couldn’t take it anymore and decided to

leave.

At that moment, it was already past 11:00 pm. The surroundings of Riverside Villa were

exceptionally quiet. Besides, it was far from her countryside home.

Lilith considered going somewhere with more people to hail a taxi. However, after a brief

stroll, she arrived near a park.

There, she saw a young woman glancing over her shoulder anxiously. It was as if the

woman was in trouble.

Shortly after, Lilith noticed several young men following closely behind the woman. They

appeared to have ill intentions.

Lilith’s expression darkened at that sight. Nevertheless, she did not approach them

immediately. Instead, she stood in the dark shadows of the trees and observed silently.

“What do you want?” the beautiful young woman asked. At that point, she was already

trembling with fear.

The

young woman was Priscilla Hill. She was a college senior about to graduate.

“Hey, sweetheart, Mr. York thinks you’re beautiful and would like to take you for a ride.

How does that sound?” Billy Jennings, a burly man, asked with malicious intent.

The “Mr. York” he mentioned was from the most influential aristocratic family in Southlake

City, the York family. To be precise, Billy was talking about Derek York.

Right then, Derek was sitting in a Lamborghini nearby. Lilith noticed the sports car.

Moreover, there were a few other cars following behind. There were about seven or eight

luxury cars, including Ferraris and Rolls–Royces.

“I’m not interested! Let me go! Otherwise, I’ll call the cops!” Priscilla said anxiously.

Upon hearing those words, Billy flashed a wicked smile. “Look at how quiet this place is at

this hour. Do you think anyone will come to such a secluded place?

“Even if you scream at the top of your lungs, no one will come and save you!”

In the next instant, Priscilla shouted, “Help! Someone, help!”

“Bring her into the car now!” Billy ordered.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, several underlings charged toward Priscilla.

They wanted to carry her into the car.

“Help! Please, someone, help!” Priscilla was terrified and cried for help with all her might.

Seeing that a woman was in danger, Lilith could not stand by and do nothing. She stepped

out of the shadows, yelling, “What are you doing? Let her go!”

Billy and his men instantly turned their heads in the direction of her voice.

On the other hand, Willow had just returned to the villa. She saw the water spilled on the

floor while Kate lounged on the couch.

“Mom, what’s this? Why is there so much water on the floor?” Willow could not help but

ask.

Kate answered, “I accidentally spilled the water. I’ll clean it up in a while.”

At the same time, Willow noticed Lilith was nowhere to be seen. “Where’s Madam

Ziegler?”

“That unruly woman insisted on leaving after I scolded her briefly!” Kate exclaimed.

Her answer left Willow momentarily stunned. She had thought her mother was on good

terms with Lilith. “What? Why did you scold Madam Ziegler?”

“She’s as useless as Caspian! All I asked her to do was pour out the water in the basin.

Yet, she refused. I nagged at her a little, and she got upset,” Kate replied indifferently.

Willow was somewhat furious. “Mom, you’ve gone too far! Madam Ziegler is Caspian’s

foster mother, after all. You have an equal relationship.

“She’s not our cleaner or maid! How could you treat her like that?”

Before Caspian left, he was worried that Kate would bully Lilith. Hence, he had repeatedly

instructed Willow to look out for Lilith.

And at that time, she promised him that Lilith would have a comfortable stay. However, at

that moment, such a situation had occurred.

Kate, whom Willow reprimanded, became mad. “Equal relationship? Why should we be

equal? She’s a woman from the countryside! What right does she have to stay with me?

“Is she even worthy of being near me? I can’t stand the sight of her, so it’s good that she

left!”

“When did she leave?” Right then, Willow refused to continue the topic. She knew she had

to bring Lilith back as soon as possible.

Moreover, it was late at night, and Lilith was unfamiliar with the area. If something were to

happen to her, Willow would not be able to face Caspian.

Yet, Kate remained unconcerned as she answered, “About half an hour ago.”

In an instant, Willow rushed out the door. She did not even stop for a second to put her

bag

down.

“What are you doing? Why are you going out at this hour?” asked Kate.

“I’m going to look for Madam Ziegler! If anything happens to her, I’ll never forgive you!”

Willow responded as she ran.

After that, she got into the Rolls–Royce and left the villa.
