circulating in the business world,” Henry said passionately.

mansion.
“Now that my Willow has become president, partnering with Southlake Corporation would
be an easy task,” Kate said happily.

to take this opportunity to win Willow over.

“Hi, Mom. What’s the matter?” Willow asked.
“Willow, you’re amazing! You’ve actually become the president of Southlake Corporation!”
Kate said excitedly.
Willow was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect the news to spread this fast. It
seemed. like the entire Stewart family had already received this news.
“Come home for dinner tonight. Bring Caspian along with you. Your grandma is really
happy and wanted to have a family dinner,” Kate said.
If she managed to invite Willow home tonight, she might be able to impress the other
family members.
And from here onwards, their status in the Stewart family would skyrocket.
“I won’t be coming home tonight, Mom. I’m really busy,” Willow said.

“You’re not? But the entire family is looking forward to having you come back.” Kate didn’t
expect that Willow wasn’t planning on coming home.
“Caspian found out that you kicked his foster mother out of our house. He saw it on our
house’s surveillance camera. I had to beg him to spare you.”
“I feel like it would be best for him not to step into Stewart Residence for the time being.
I’m afraid that you guys would start a fight!” Willow finally revealed the real reason..
“He knew about that? Then, I guess it would be better that you both not return home for
now. I won’t bother you anymore since you’re busy.”
Kate was frightened and hung up as soon as she could.
She turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing Kate’s reaction, Marilyn felt that something was off.
“Mom, Willow’s really busy as she’s just gotten appointed. She won’t be coming home
tonight. “Kate could only come up with something on the spot.
She didn’t want anybody to know that she was the one who kicked Lilith out of the house,

displeased.
“No, it’s not that! She’s really busy. Besides, it’s not like this will be our only chance to
have a meal with her,” Kate answered swiftly.
Willow was elated over her promotion. She invited Caspian and Zoey to a celebratory
dinner at a hotel.
After their celebration, Caspian and Willow returned to the villa.

asleep.
She looked at Caspian, who was lying beside her. She hadn’t gotten used to this yet.
After Zoey had left, the couple started sleeping in the same room.
“Why are you sleeping so far away from me? Did you not like me anymore?” Willow asked.
She wanted Caspian to hold her in his arms, or better, to do what they did yesterday.
